Browser + 2 vscode + 4 docker container + MS Teams + postman + MongoDB Compass Sure it is bloated, but it is the stack we have for local development

The reason why publishers like DRM is because it allows them to turn anything into a subscription-lite service plus tracking and advertising.

Consider the two cases A: I pirated a game 25 years ago and played it after school B: I didn't which cases do you think will make me more likely to buy more versions of that game later?

This is gold
125.
by afiori 10mo ago
Yeah but if a pirate would have not paid the full price why care? It is by definition not a lost sale, the most likely outcome is just an increase by one the player count

by afiori 10mo ago
What has been proven many times is that people overwhelmingly choose the least effort/risk option. A free Steam full of certified pirates games with official games updates would obviously drop sales but this is moot as it will never ex

If someone pirates 100 60$ games it does not mean that had piracy been impossible they would have spent 6000$ on those games

The main reason that Russia had a fame for pirating a lot of software was that a lot of publishers either skipped it as a market or did shitty localisations and pirates offered a far better service.

Neither is water, they obviously meant food production and distribution infrastructure

by afiori 10mo ago
Food should be public infrastructure, and the subsidies every country gives to farmers are a good indication of that. Not all food but produce, bread, milk, infant foods, flour, rice and other cereals being sorta price controlled the way wa

Is dereferencing an arbitrary integer cast to pointer UB on any platform? I would expect that it is system dependent but mostly not C-style UB

Because that reasoning applies to binary signals, where the sensibility is about detection, in the case of our eyes sensibility means that we can detect many more distinct values let's say we can see N distinct luminosity levels of mon

So inside a destructor throw has a radically different behaviour that makes it useless for communicating non-fatal errors

by afiori 10mo ago
Ok, but sometimes you just need a single line in a finally and writing a class is more annoying

I think git keeps a per-branch history but in practice I have never seen it used

I think it should be mostly ad-hoc methods: if you have a website put your keys in a dedicated page and direct people there If you are in an org there can be whatever kind of centralised repo Add the hashes to your email signature and/

which makes me consider an interesting distinction, undefined behavior refers to the behavior of the compiler output, does the C standard "allow" compilers to do compile-time code executions with undefined behavior? is the runtime

The post office would identify you on access and hold mail for an appropriate amount of time. Like for some deliveries you need to sign a receipt that will be legally binding, the post office would take the role of handling those.

by afiori 10mo ago
A reasonable solution is to get a free "address" from the post office with optionally phone notifications for mail

I only did a quick read of permit.io offering but iirc they don't focus on hierarchical data. If having access to a resource cannot grant access to unbounded number of other independent resources (eg sharing a folder) then almost all i

Part of the issue is that it suggests that the code had a spaghettified growth; it is neither sufficient nor necessary but lacking external constraints (like an entire library developed as a single c header) it suggests that code organisati

You could do better than video compression because you could use older keyframes or a combination of keyframes. I am pretty sure it might be np compete to find the best combination

Just saying but LLM-ese as the common dominator of how people wrote, it is likely the writing style of a lot of people

by afiori 10mo ago
I am almost sure that the most perfect solution would involve using a video codec protocol but the issue is implementation complexity and having to implement a production encoder yourself if your usecase is unusual. This is exactly the poin

I agree that it is a bad idea to describe rust this way but they likely meant memory safety as used in https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2025/07/24/memory-safety.html . Meaning that shared mutable is thread unsa
