My experience matches yours with regards to Qt, but not at all with regards to Tcl or PNG. I always hear them spoken as words rather than acronyms. Does your circle call it "S Q L" or "sequel"?

Not _exactly_, but it's a pretty close analogy. Certainly moreso than WSL2 is.

Exactly this. If you're running WSL2 then you're in Hyper-V mode, which means Windows itself is also running virtualized. The WSL VM is a sibling of Windows on the hypervisor stack, not hosted inside of.

Actually, that particular man page was added in FreeBSD 2.2.5, released in 1997. It's just that a lot of people don't know man pages exist with names other than the binaries.

Specifically what functionality do you feel is so critical? The only thing I really struggled with at first was: - 2FA codes, but a self-hosted Bitwarden and a Yubikey solved that well enough - Maps. This is a legitimate sacrifice, especial

You're not operating on the same definition of paper launch as everyone else. It's generally used also for limited-quantity releases. Lots of chips can be produced in small batches that can't be mass-produced yet.

Why would a sqlite3 DB file not be trivial to sync with Dropbox or Syncthing? Are there platform-specific nuances to decoding or something?

Totally agreed. I regularly introduce myself as a doctor to new acquaintances, since I occasionally visit the pharmacy to fill some prescriptions. It totally pisses me off when they insist on asking me what medical school I went to, and eli

The title and initial blurb of the article makes it sound like the rep tried to somehow disguise the cost or downplay it. But if you read the transcript, it's the exact opposite. The rep warned them the repair would cost more than a re

It's actually worse than that - the account is indicated in the URL, but it's expressed as an offset into a list of accounts in the order you signed into them! So a ".../mail/u/0/" means the first G

Uh, yes? 25 is certainly not ahead of schedule for having kids. By 30 there start to be physical risks.

I imagine you already know this, but you should consider notmuch for searching within mutt (well, neomutt). It's pretty great.

Certainly, in the balance of probabilities the WHO's guidance is more likely to be correct than incorrect. It's certainly more likely to be correct than a layperson's. But it's not SO overwhelmingly likely to be correct

The big tech companies in question (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc) are using the WHO's guidance as the barometer for what does and does not constitute "misleading information" when it comes to deciding what to block. So, OP

A derivative work of PostGIS would be a fork or patches to PostGIS (i.e, a set database extensions for geographic/spatial queries). A mapping application that used PostGIS is not a derivative work of PostGIS, in the same way that a C p

They _had_ the advantage over Windows. WSL2 is so well-integrated as of the latest major release that I think this advantage has now flipped.
