There's no such thing as "metro dogs" in Moscow. Stray dog population is insignificant for a 15mil city, and while there is nonzero chance for a dog to somehow get into subway foyer, i've never seen one. Another piece of

I believe, sooner or later, MS will put some arbitrary restrictions on .net or some part of its toolchain, forcing users to purchase a license to make it usable. It will probably involve "cloud" to sign/notarize your binarie

Meh. In the end, Microsoft will betray those who trusted it. Long term, better just to pretend it does not exist and never, ever depend on anything with Microsoft name on it.

Is that the same database Apple uses to scan image hashes on iPhones without user consent?

Consumer adoption is gradual (s-curve), enterprise tends to order large batches - fleets of taxis, cargo, delivery and service vehicles - so adoption in steps. As the night falls, they all start charging at 00:00 with a huuge load spike on

Before the mass EV adoption, shouldn't we upgrade the power grid? The Brits call it "TV pickup", the synchronized surges of electricity consumption, by electric kettles and such. Now consider 10s thousands of EVs start chargi

Add a section to your README file, detailing your vision, the features you plan to implement and features you plan NOT to implement.

I'd rather look into innovative formwork construction and cast-in- place concrete (pr slap labels here: concrete-like, energy-efficient green, zero-emission, insulated).

Interesting, now I wonder why cannot ECC be enabled for regular RAM at the cost of some space.

Are there legit cases where monkey patching native funcs is justified? Many scanners report this as vulnerability, so I would expect browsers and standards bodies to eventually prohibit messing with native apis.

Your point makes sense. My distrust comes from the fact that $militaries keep separate versions for toys they export/publish vs toys they use. See: M1 Abrams export variants, cryptography export laws (limited key lengths; restrictions

Thanks for an interesting read! Now, time for a thought experiment. Imagine Tor was instead developed by Russian researchers working for Russian ministry of defense at the time. Would you use it to visit rt.com blocked in your country?

by cabirum 4y ago
Tor was developed by US military and is funded by dept of state. It should not be trusted. Better set up your own tunnel/vpn on a host you control.

Release version 2 of the episode, keep the old one available. [edit] that's how book editions work

Any open-source projects to reliably stream and archive a video from a raspi?

The font can be generated after installation. I don't have Windows near me to rub tests myself.

I skimmed the article and looks like they didn't try to compare the font from two different PCs. I think it may be a uniquely generated/procedural font, identifying a specific installation.

"Modern"? Webpack/code bundlers is quite an ancient tech by now. Regard it as an intermediate representation (IR) of your code, a stage between your readable source code and browser bytecode/jit. The "shit" is

It sticks out like a sore thumb and is completely unnecessary for this typeface.

For those interested, to get the ligatures in this font, run: otfinfo -g scunthorpe-sans.otf | grep _ | sed s/_//g | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | uniq

To extract the noise from sensor imperfections, wouldn't one need unaltered images in raw format? Automatic denoise and image compression ought to erase all but most obvious defects.

About time. In a system where it is possible for one county to freeze the assets of another, money have no meaning nor value.

Do we need inheritance at all? It only leads to complicated class hierarchies and leaky abstractions. Are there cases/problems where inheritance approach is superior to composition, interfaces, etc?

There's also webp and heif and png and svg, and I believe all the existing formats already solve the image compression problem. The difference of 18kb vs 22kb from hours of microoptimisations is frankly irrelevant given the rate of net

It's insane to even consider using a browser running on somebody else's server. Would you trust them passwords and credit card details? How inefficient is running multiple browsers in one point of failure and streaming a video(?)

That was pretty light on details. Why havent they tested a date picker widget or used native date pickers on ios/android?
