I suspect that their work in using Electron for things like VSCode made switching Edge over to Blink more enticing. I wonder if they ever considered looking at the Mozilla frameworks

This is a well written article, covering a lot of the issues currently facing the country. It's something I think about occasionally, and the opinion I think I've eventually come to is that while it's nice to think of ourselv

...This is a bit of an overreaction. I think it's safe to say that the professor won't fail any blind students simply on the basis of being unable to use Vim.

I have the exact opposite reaction. There are very few things that can go wrong with a car that are dangerous enough for the car to automatically refuse to be driven. For what is the equivalent of the check engine light coming on, the car r

One of the reasons I first got into programming was due to a fascinations with emulators. Several years later, I'm finally working on a Gameboy emulator of my own. It's a really rewarding experience, I had taken a brief look at GB

Calling LuaJIT unmaintained isn't exactly true. It's still getting commits, however the author has stopped trying to keep it up to date with the mainline Lua updates. Lua has a history of not caring too much about backwards compar

Reading through the article and the other sources linked, this seems to be a different dataset and implementation than the "Have I been pwned" dataset that Firefox and other password managers reference. However, I don't see a

What is the state of GBA homebrew? I've been curious about learning how to make games with it, but I haven't had much luck finding information about the toolchains. I know for original Game Boy/Color, there is a C compiler, b

I'm pleased to see that the randomizer community has been getting a lot more attention as of late. I made my own randomizer[0] a few years ago (shameless plug), and it was the perfect mix of retro gaming knowledge, low level hacking, a

A lot of effort goes into ensuring that you don't randomize the game into an unwinnable state. Many of these games are so well known by speedrunners and fans, that they know what items are required for each part of the game. The Link t

Many of the comments are about the event as a whole, but I'd like to commend the author for the day 1 puzzle, which I think is very cleverly written. Many people (including myself) use these as an opportunity to try out learning a new

Out of curiosity, what are some of the advantages of making terminal apps via JS/npm? I've been curious in making some of my own, but I've looked mostly at ncurses in C or Rust, and haven't looked much at the JS ecosyste

They mention it here[0]: "Almost all implementation work so far has been on macOS. Windows port work is underway, but is not yet working. The difficulties are in figuring out the set of system library APIs to intercept, in getting th

This seems to me to have the exact same problem that projects like Mastodon have, which is that people use social media because other people they know use social media. You can point out all the benefits the alternative sites have, but at t

I think this phone has two main appeals. One is the smaller form factor, and the second is the nostalgia for those who owned a Razr back when it was the big hit item.

Funnily enough, TNG used models as well, I don't think it was until Deep Space 9 that they actually started using CGI starships. The versions of the first two Star Treks on Netflix are the remastered versions, so they might be pointing

I quite like this list, there are a number of utilities here that I already use on a daily basis. There are also a few utilities that I like that weren't on this list, or some alternatives to what was shown. Some off the top of my head

A number of the utilities mentioned here (bat, fd, hexyl) are made by the same author, who makes a number of additional command line utilities in Rust. They're all rather easy to use and aesthetically pleasing, I'm a fan of their

Twitter is an interesting case where I feel that they found their ideal feature set by around 2011 or so. They had chronological tweets, likes and retweets worked logically, everything was great. Unfortunately, they never made any money thi

I was discussing with a friend that in some bizarre alternative universe where things had played out differently, cable would seem like the great alternative to all the streaming services we have now. You only have to pay one monthly fee, a

I'm curious to this as well. I recently got a desktop computer to supplement my MacBook, and am now using Ubuntu as my more-or-less primary OS. I'm quite enjoying it, but I certainly wouldn't claim that it works better out of

I didn't realize this was a feature, and I haven't been able to find any information on how to follow Twitter users in this way. How do you go about doing it? If I can follow select Twitter users on Mastodon, that would really inc

Out of curiosity, I went onto Twitter and tried to post a link with one of the similar sites as JSFiddle. It seems that CodePen URLs are still allowed. This seems very strange to me, as unless I'm missing something, CodePen has the sam

Out of curiosity, is there a list somewhere of utilities like this that are run by Mozilla/Firefox? I don't think I would've heard about Monitor or Lockwise if I hadn't been on here when someone had posted it, so I'

Having switched from Vivaldi back to Firefox about a year ago, the Vivaldi speed dial is similar to the pinned lists of favorites, but it's much more user friendly. You can customize how many sites you see, how many are in each column,

I find that argument to be fairly naive. In theory there are lots of things that can be negotiated but are rarely done so, especially in an industry with a high abundance of eager workers. Having a small clause in their contract that voids

I'm not too familiar with open source licenses, but does a license exist that allows someone to (enforceably) open source their code with the stipulation that it is for academic/security purposes, but forbids forking/resellin
