in cases where there's more than 2 options, that's still not necessarily a bad track record

i think the greatest thing we lost with flash is even non-technical people making something in an editor, hitting export, and getting a single small file that worked similarly enough to an image that it was trivial to just upload somewhere

open source isn't the same as public domain. the code is still copyrighted and has a specific license that has to be adhered to in order to be allowed to use it

imagick for imagemagick is a common one. but yeah, you can go really far with just relying on php standard features

and simultaneously it will be lost immediately

also, even if those older http sites get a certificate, any embedded scripts that point at http URLs, even if those URLs are also available on https, will not load and break. Especially hard to fix if you have user generated HTML on there.

yup, I actually know about that, but it still made me do a double-take

The article year is kind of confusing on this one, it made me go "that can't be right, Microsoft owned PowerPoint before then... didn't it?"

Thank you for the PP Keyboard firmware (and your various other contributions) - I agree i've found this to be the case too. I think a really good solution would just be 1 or 2 shoulder/underside buttons on each side for modifier k

you can get servers with managed hosting, still at a fixed rate each month

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your point or you're understanding mine, so I'll just carefully say that the PHP array is really a dictionary + array combination type, and I was referring specifically to its use as

Looks like avif support has landed for Safari, and thankfully it did not take as long as webp!

Took me a really long time to learn this lesson. IMO this is a variation of the primitive obsession code smell, although I'd say it's way more harmful. I was really reluctant to add data classes to my code when the good old PHP ar

because dall-e is mostly a fun novelty, but if you were to use more advanced versions of it for actual image generation, i would definitely be concerned how much of someone elses image ends up in the thing you generated.

How often do you need to measure the approximate voltage of something? Seems to me like a fun gimmick but ultimately not all that useful. the resolution of two colored LEDs would probably have you second guessing what it's telling you

that kind of test is always biased in favor of the browser you develop the app in though. If you conservatively use caniuse during development usually there's not so much in the way of problems. Nevertheless I don't entirely disag

few people touching the code is easy mode IMO. much easier to not introduce bugs if you've designed half the system and are deeply familiar with its various idiosyncrasies. good architecture is not a must here, although fewer people ob

sure but that sucks, especially on mobile. doubly so if you try to do anything mildly more advanced like embed images.

the gimp is just exceptionally awful, and was apparently intentionally named after the gimp from pulp fiction, which makes it even worse

yeah, plus if you tell someone to "download libreoffice", there's a good chance the thing they're going to type into google is going to be something misspelled.

Saw openoffice on a friend of my father's laptop a while back. it had a 4k screen and OO did not support it, causing every pixel to be 4x the size of other applications, it looked really awful. I told him to download libreoffice instea

sure, but even if you want people to just be able to italicize or bold their input and nothing else, you're either stuck with the bludgeon that's contenteditable, or you can have fun reimplementing half of the countless nuances of

but in regards to singing a whole song about things that are not irony being irony: isn't it ironic? don't you think?

still better than not at all, but yeah that whole shitcoin thing made me lose a lot of faith in them

IMO it's more of a question about e-waste and sustainability. the moment a vendor stops providing updates, they should have to open the hardware to be flashed with other operating systems

the pinephone pro is definitely still thoroughly in the bringing up phase. for people just wanting to play around with it/actively use it, and not intending to develop it, the regular PP is the better option. They do make this pretty c

i bought one with a keyboard case, and I love it. the software definitely still has some rough edges, and I wouldn't try to use it as a phone yet, but as a little pocket computer it's kind of awesome. and it's full linux, you
