AFAIK the whole doujin scene is all about "go on, violate our copyrights but don't complain when people violate yours". ZUN's blanket ban on commercial distribution makes it really difficult and expensive to legally obta

A torrent with a huge collection of Japanese self-published game music remixes focused on one specific shmup game series. It used to be the largest torrent in circulation and also the one that broke some client programs due to its huge size

Is this yet another case of trying to apply an American interpretation to a European law? I thought we all had a similar discussion when GDPR came into effect.

Shared blocklists are a pain. If you at one point happened to make a bad but well-intentioned pun, you ended up[1] on a blocklist meant for blocking fascists[2]. [1] https://twitter.com/wilw/status/6881279713374494

Should everyone learn C? Yes. Should it be taught as the first language? Nope. First of all, the quality of C learning material is abysmal. Most of the literature has been written before the era of C99 and encourages bad practices such as u

Except you won't be able to delist content without first allowing their crawler to rummage your site and returning 404 to Googlebot. Happened to me - I wanted to delist a single URL because it was generating unwanted traffic but still

Yup. “The challenge of explaining the vast potential of mouldable glue and how it can be relevant to any given consumer has proved to be a lot harder than anyone imagined,” said ni Dhulchaointigh. That was never their problem. Most of my

Numerous software companies (I'm not referring to typical SaaS startups here) advertise niche products or services that don't exist yet but can be created from the current product portfolio.

Are there any advantages vs just embedding the file as a char array? I've found it easier to mmap any input files anyway so as to avoid an extra level of buffering in userspace.

My personal favorites are 44.128.0.0/16, the explicitly unallocated test network for amateur packet radio to internet gateways, and 100.64.0.0/10, the address range for bidirectional carrier grade NAT.

One month to adapt? They have had two years. Also, I fail to see how this is a problem, considering that quite a few domains nowadays seem to use WhoisGuard or a similar service anyway.

Signal has a desktop app nowadays and Telegram still requires a phone number to use. While Signal's QR code pairing method is more awkward than Telegram's SMS one, it also prevents your account from getting hacked remotely in Iran

Unfortunately being slow & hogging resources tends to more of a rule than an exception. I doubt it would help if everyone started drowning developers in bug reports that basically state the obvious. It might also be that being the secon

Back in the early nineties I learned QBasic with its built-in documentation only. The local library had a ton of Basic books, but they were meant for learning simple game programming on 1980s home computers and often only covered a very lim

It's not that difficult. If you have an internal ERP product code for the spare part in question, it is swappable. If the repair shop asks for a single IC chip instead of a complete PCB or ECU, they obviously have the skills and need t

I think that the main point was that docker skills are transferable, i.e. you can expect a new hire to be productive in less time. Too many companies still have in-house build/deploy systems that are probably great for their purpose bu

If your keyboard layout had pile of poo where your tilde key currently is, you would not be joking. The problem is that even Latin-based international layouts have quite a few characters that don't fit in the ASCII range.

On my keyboard layout tilde is a dead key that requires three keypresses, so the usual disconnection command with the appropriate precautions is usually something like this: Esc Esc Esc Ctrl-U Ctrl-C Enter AltGr-] Space . OpenSSH lets you m

Back in 2002–2004 when DSL wasn't a commodity, a local ISP offered WLAN access. We lived on a ridge and had a clean line of sight – some 2.6 km – to one of the base stations so we set up a spare satellite dish with a peanut can feed an
