They're probably talking about the other feature: choose/write the domain name in the search bar, press Tab, and if you have previously visited the site, and it implements the OpenSearch "standard", the search bar sends

I believe the majority of FOSS developers reside in the US. You can't really pipe them out through a fiber channel.

I live under authoritarian government. The basic idea everybody here adheres to goes something like this: as long as you're going to be spied upon (and you are), it might as well be a country on the other side of the globe. We're

What gets me is how entitled many drivers are. I know a lot of people who drive instead of walking every single time, even when the destination is not more than 200 meters away. Almost every day I see drivers parked on the side of the road,

Same thing here, except I live a few thousand kilometers away from London. When I am too lazy to wash the windows for a month or two, the next rag goes straight to the trash bin -- it's so black and soaked with soot you can't real

Personally I have no desire to buy a license which is being shoved down my throat against my will. It's a matter of principle, not of the sum involved.

I don't see how that's any better than JRE + JDK. Runtime environment + development kit, with the ubiquitous J- prefix. I remember terrible confusion in the blog comments back when they first announced .NET Core. It was not helped

GCP used to give an additional $200 credit if you register through the GitLab referral, with the total of $500. I don't know if it still working. https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/google-cloud-platform/

I guess storing all those 1's also adds some weight. It costs on the order of antimatter if you think of it. What's it like, $50 million per 1 billionth of a gram, or so?

I feel it's pretty typical for some of these companies who like to complain about other's unethical practices. Strongly reminds me of Crunchyroll.

That sure looks nice, but how often do you write services which return a single constant string? I like to judge languages/frameworks based on more representative snippets.

You can always run your own OSM tile server. That's what they recommend instead of relying on the official server, actually, if you have any non-trivial load.

WSL over NTFS does not preserve file attributes, you'll get 777 everywhere. Plus, the I/O is damn slow currenty, and it's something they are unlikely to fix*; the more files you have, the slower it gets. https://gi

I reckon OP dislikes the need to have the whole Mono runtime to run one small-ish application. At least that's the reason I always preferred the native ports.

Is this normal for Windows? I assume you are talking about Windows. Maybe it depends on the quality of your network stack? I've been maxing out my uplink 24/7 for the last 10 years. My upload speed has increased from 15 KB/s

LSP is fine and all, but as a one-size-fits-all protocol I'm guessing it will never reach the level of flexibility and extensibility required to implement something like IDEA/Rider level refactorings, hints, and the general level

As one ex-Soviet to another, I think you are being too optimistic. The situation in smaller cities seems to be quite dire to me. Most of the people I know either don't know of the situations like this, or don't care. They still ha

Hell, they still seem to support the original Half-Life. According to the file metadata, the hl binary on my machine has been rebuilt about a month ago. That makes it 20 years; better than Windows.

Well, you can do it right now with firejail. Start with the default config, it prevents access to many sensitive files; then either add more sensitive locations to blacklist, or blacklist your whole home directory and whitelist whatever is

I drink about a couple of liters per day, sometimes less, depending on the mood. I think I have no caffeine sensitivity at all, since I have normal BP, no sleep problems, and am able to stop drinking all caffeinated beverages for a few week

Well, if you want to use a smartphone, you pretty much have to buy a new one every few years. They don't exactly have great upgrade-ability, do they? If course, it doesn't excuse all the Apple fanatics (among others) who go throug

I guess it might be a great tactic depending on your culture. I tried going with 24/7 silent mode, and then with no phone at all, but had to give in after being repeatedly badgered first by my coworkers, and then by my boss. They expec

Of course you can. Every modern BitTorrent client allows you to download file pieces by their order. IIRC it has been a solved problem for at least 8 years.
