it is implemented, it's just not released. if there's no plans, why did they add the feature flag to begin with?
422.
by asddubs 3y ago
mozilla didn't remove their jxl support? It's behind a feature flag, like it always has been, but that doesn't mean they will get rid of it or never unflag it.

it's still a version of jpeg that supports transparency, and it's actually well supported (down to ios 14) to use without also having to deliver a fallback format now. it's not as good as it's successors, but if you are

actually, given that they now support JPEG XL and AVIF, edge is the most conservative. They sure did take their sweet time with webp, though.

incidentally you can change the IMEI on a pinephone relatively easily, at least there's guides available online. I haven't tried it and apparently it's illegal, but the more you know

can we please stop spamming this?

"Real" competitors as in having any amount of market share, no. But there are a few projects, like ladybird, palemoon (which is a fork of ancient FF which does have original implementations of things that came since) and Servo is

Yeah, people just mean different things when they put the label on chrome and safari. It gets a little tiring to have this pointless discussion about what is in essence a metaphor that is being interpreted differently over and over again.

It's on page 4 or so, compared to the stories surrounding it based on votes / recency, it's definitely been muted

I wonder why they disable scroll to text fragment, I always thought that was a neat feature

The whole problem with AI is that it's able to copy some of the superficial indicators of quality content while feeding you lies. You cannot detect quality content without detecting truthfulness. Any heuristic you use in place of that

people will just end up calling them posts and reposts or something along those lines

same with ceramics and plastics, too

I use the blocktube addon to block almost any channel that isn't educational in nature.

The GHDL compiler/simulator is written in ada. I suppose this makes sense since VHDL shares a lot of syntax with Ada

Hanzi are compounds of a smaller subset of repeating shapes, though.

IMHO, doing anything other than not giving a shit is just giving them undue attention and further canonizing these billionaires.

That's part of it, but these sites are still out there. The SEO game has also just gotten more aggressive, and they now have to compete with quora pages you can't actually read once you click on them and blogspam

You mean something like C++ Optional, right? Those are nice, if the language supports generics.

I'm fine with doing this on purpose, but without a system like checked exceptions, you do it without even really realizing you're doing it. Checked exceptions point out the errors and then let you decide whether it's somethin

That I can understand

by asddubs 3y ago
I actually quite like checked exceptions, and miss them in other languages. My biggest gripe with exceptions is that a few calls deep, you can no longer tell whether calling something might throw or not, and what type of exception it might

I don't understand that, why spend so much time making something only to never release it?

if you want simple, you can't beat PHP + HTML. I wouldn't actually go that simple for anything that's more than a single purpose script, usually I would at least have a separate templating library, but it's really nice t

So what do you do for a living?

the worse part of this is embedded http content in a https site breaking due to changing browser policies. images are upgraded to https if possible, otherwise broken. script embeds are just unilaterally broken if the embed is http, even if
