You would basically never use an axe in woodworking. It's widely considered bad practice, produces unstable results, and there are better tools available

the .0 releases can have their problems, but a canonical engineer also did literally submit a kernel patch to fix a bug that prevented my machine from booting with any new enough kernel in response to a bug report.

Maybe the segment on engraving of Tantacruls Musescore 4 video is a good explanation of some of the things involved: https://youtu.be/Qct6LKbneKQ?t=2005 the whole video is worth watching as well (and there are several video

PHP had this too in earlier versions. so if you missed an import that defined constants, the constants would just evaluate as their names. People liked to use this particularly for associative array indexes like $array[userid] instead of $a

would you guess the unit instead of specifying what you expect?

my half-hearted counterpoints: 1. what about something like a usb flir heat camera? yes i know webusb exists, but having to go to a website to use a peripheral (and give it permissions to that peripheral) is not ideal 2. apps can change on

I'm kind of uneasy about this being possible at all. Obviously this is just because of the power of hindsight, but should things that can wedge the accelerator in full throttle position be using adhesive for fixation at all?

Yeah, I'm good just not hanging out in the same place as people like that

I also quite liked the idea of a true anarchy server (from a gameplay perspective), but on 2b2t in practice this looked like a lot of the n-word being said in chat, so I stopped playing.

zeal is a good app for local documentation in times of no internet. it's not very good if you're not just looking up something you know the name of, though

I considered making that joke, that the established common base was picked adversarially to have 521 and 512 be confusingly similar but couldn't find a non convoluted way of expressing that without implying primes change with base

oh no, gentoo has been compromised

maybe 2^521-1 being a mersenne prime is adversarial

I'm not positive the app store terms are compatible with the AGPL

I don't know why you would link a video instead of saying the sentence "chain locks are hard to cut with an angle grinder because the chains are hard to hold steady"

sounds like you basically just used your key as a bump key

of course they have to enforce other peoples licenses, otherwise they're distributing stolen code. It's AGPL, which is probably not compatible with the app store license, and the code by Delta is also distributed under a custom li

it's not a fork unless source is available (even if it's a name replace copy-paste job) and other license terms are followed.

qt is a good fit for writing native linux apps. I've tried both and qt is much nicer to work with (in my opinion)

this was two years ago though. why rush someone when you're planning to play the long game anyway?

this is only the case because this was allowed from day 1. If no one ever allowed this to begin with, that just wouldn't work. Of course this is speaking in hypotheticals, but my point is a more general one about specifications of huma

I think a takeaway could also be not to give people options when making a human-readable format. "you always need quotes, they're not optional" solves the comma problem. "the delimiter is always a comma" solves the

in this case the market is already captured anyway, though. Even microsoft couldn't pierce it.

the problem comes when you decide to make a rule for something that was already possible before. let's say you have your deny-all set up becuase you want none of those. and then they add a rule for right clicking (just a silly example)

>and yes, they have to be all set one by one, because there is no deny-all in the spec. No doubt this spec was designed with end-users' privacy and security in mind. I can understand that, actually. deny all would be a forward compa
