I'm not so sure of this. Most code in a debugger doesn't have much to do with the source language. Line mapping and figuring out values for variables happens via symbol information, eg. DWARF, and compilers for multiple languages

If you install some pointless garbage as root on a free OS, it can make your system unbootable. I don't think an OS vendor has any blame here. The mistake here is people think they need third party security solutions that are actually

Something tells me seizures have multiple causes and if the drugs is one cause it's not a cause for everybody.

And that's the problem. It's not particularly useful to write it off, particularly absurd that you do so on the grounds that it's an extremely prevalent problem.

Sometimes I even notice when you go into comment sections trying to say that certain techniques are not best practices, people call you elitist, say you're making nothing more than appeals to authority, and say there's nothing wro

Nope. Unicode correctness is much more complicated than switching char to wchar_t. Many glyphs take multiple codepoints or multiple character units in either utf-16 or utf-8. You need something like the break iterator "character"

I thought it was a joke at first. Can you imagine Google SSO on a Win32 app in the 9x era?

I feel like this person went through an unnecessary and false tangent about how people are "afraid" of memcpy due to inexperience and missed the much more important criticism that arbitrary, naive truncation on a byte level doesn&

I think normies (not hn reading outliers) in Gen Z and alpha may have regressed. Younger people come up in the era of devices and apps hiding the existence of a filesystem from you.

User resistance only gets harder with older people. They will be set in their ways.

In the very early public slides announcing the iPhone, I believe Jobs referred to iOS as "Mac OS X".

Obviously clothing and hairstyles change. More recently, average BMI is higher, or people are more likely to be tattooed. I'm sure there's other differences that aren't coming to mind. But even setting aside any of that, it&#

I like the photorealism in some of these images. They look somewhat like contemporary people even though it's more than 200 years ago.

The OS doesn't know that the application doesn't want feedback from the speaker, and not 100% of applications will want such filtering. I think a best practice from the OS side would be to provide it as an optional flag. (Defaul

Iirc there was a version in the kernel tree, then "upstream" if you could even call it that developed it further (OSS 4.0). I think there was a company behind it and a nonfree license. Obviously that was a no-go for inclusion into

Maybe my dist-upgrade got it into such a state. I'll try to check that out.

Oh yeah. I should have noticed that because on the Debian machine I set up for my daughter, audio suddenly broke, and it started working again when I removed pipewire. No joke, if you remove the new thing stuff magically starts working aga

Linux actually does this a lot. Jwz called it "Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers" more than 20 years ago, describing GNOME. Look at audio. PulseAudio is mostly pointless and over-engineered. Breaks a lot. You could say the sa

I realized quite early in life, through teenage exposure to libertarianism, that there seemed to be a very high correlation between self professed libertarians and emotional imbalance. This observation has held up pretty well. There is no s

I can't really read this. Peter Thiel seems so stupid and out of touch here, it's drivel. I know the HN audience has lots of people who would like to be sycophantic to Thiel and call my above commentary rude, but man.. it is such

Seems like you may be virtue signaling in the other direction? I hate that term "virtue signaling". I most often see it when people simply don't understand the opinions of the other person. "It's impossible that you

As I said there is too much to summarize here. The Republicans, communists, and anarchists were very divided within themselves and their "goodness" varied a lot from person to person, group to group. Certainly that coalition was f

The Spanish civil war is a fascinating topic and I can't do justice to it in the small space of an HN comment. Many Americans were sympathetic to the republic against fascism. It's not surprising that Chomsky could have that as su

FreeDOS is pretty useful if you happen to need it. Back in the day my go-to method for making DOS boot disks was to find a win9x machine and type "format /s". That used to be easy to do, but there are no more abundant Win9x m

I haven't been following this very closely, but it seems like it would be a positive development if EV manufacturers made batteries easily removable and interoperable. Swapping would necessitate this.

I'm having flashbacks to the late 90s for some reason, WordPerfect was briefly popular on Linux, before StarOffice, OpenOffice, etc., when Corel Linux shipped with it. I don't remember why I did this, but some time in the last dec

I was recently watching some YouTube videos about early contact between Europeans and Japanese. A lot of that was contact with Portugal, and from there they had contact with Spain and Italy, so they did go to Iberian colonies in the new wor

A lot of Spanish speaking memes and videos I see have this running joke that Chileans are hard to understand. I don't think it's a literal truth or meant to be taken seriously. They just hand pick a few examples of people who talk
