Serious question - has Javascript the language evolved any features for handling integer math correctly so expressions like 2*57 aren't silently rounded? I realize that in most cases Javascriopt is "good enough" for useful w

Going through this at my employer and it's not VirtualBox they are inquiring about. VirtualBox is open source but the VirtualBox Extensions pack that gives useful features (usb passthrough, pxe booting, VM encryption, etc) isn't

Me too. Flu is annoying to me but nothing I'd have even really considered a major health threat in general. Covid changed my mind with respect to respiratory disease. When I finally contracted Covid (I was vaccinated + boosted in ali

Many thanks to the KDE team for providing a modern desktop experience that I can tweak and customize out of the box to my personal liking.

Is this going to be a fully proper implementation with a sudoers config such that something like sudo c:\some\path\to\normally_needs_elevation_to_function.exe will work for my user in my current desktop session without an elevation

Yeah, F.E.A.R. left a lasting impression on me. NPCs charted a path around the level to sneak up behind me and kill me while I was in a protracted firefight with the rest of their buddies.

Personal opinion: 3060 - no 3060 Ti - yes, it still a great card that I use today However, if you can't find a 3060 Ti at a lower price point than the 4060 Ti... then I reluctantly have to say you are probably going to be better serv

Considering the poor generational performance uplift the original 4000 series cards had vs the 3000 series - it almost seems like these super variants are what nVidia should have originally launched. :-/

I wonder if nVidia is going to commit to providing enough stock to keep prices at or under those MSRP values.

The kind of sad thing is that you could style forms/controls in VB6 so apps didn't have to look that way.

Yeah, seriously - it's ugly and quirky but generally all the settings you care about are there and I don't have to click through 15 different levels of menus or look things up in the wiki for the proper cli invocation when I need

Ran into similar pathological behavior on servers with huge amounts of ram (>1 TiB). Negative dentries builds up until the kernel decides it is time to reclaim and locks up the server for >60 seconds scanning pages. :-/

Last I checked (at least here in the US) - the family plan requires all family members to be living in the same physical household and there is some sort of geolocation check that enforces that rule. I'm divorced and my son goes back

What an awesome game that was - even more awesome to know there are people that remember it. :-D

You can self-host Bitwarden via an open source implementation of the backend API called Vaultwarden and backup the data as often as you like.

I really wish Firefox had the equivalent of Chromium's profile manager instead of having to rely on passing in command line parameters to force the profile selector to appear on start. Easily selecting an entirely separate profile from

I continued to use qb45.exe for years to write utilities for dos/windows because it would produce an exe with no external dependencies.

Can you give some specific examples that bother you? I honestly just don't notice much of a difference these days with font rendering in Linux + X11 vs Windows/MacOS. I do usually select different fonts/sizes instead of rely

OpenWrt has transitioned its default cryptographic library from wolfssl to mbedtls. This shift brings several changes and implications: * Users should be aware that mbedtls 2.28 no longer supports TLS 1.3. Am I reading this corr

If they can detect your ad blocker then they can choose to refuse to serve video to you. I can't think of a business reason why they'd disable your account as that'd do nothing but generate negative PR.

That's the problem with Windows Defender - Microsoft has basically removed the ability for a normal user to configure it to quarantine instead of auto-remediate (delete). After I caught Windows Defender uploading my places.sqlite in my

I'm not arguing that a large dog bite vs a small dog bite is better or worse nor am I arguing that your opinion and risk tolerance is somehow invalid. I certainly wouldn't want to be bitten by any large breed dog. I've perso

Restic only (relatively) recently implemented compression so I'd run my own tests before making a decision. I'm currently thinking about migrating off borg to restic and disk space usage is very similar based on my testing.

It'd probably be better to look at bite statistics normalized against the population size of a particular breed rather than "which breed causes more bites". Popularity of a particular breed can skew that statistic.

My son plays Starfield on a nvidia 1060GT 6GB and the game runs easily at 30-40 fps on medium settings. Everything else on the computer is very modern though.
