In mercurial you could have those in phase hidden for future reference. In jujutsu you can have those in a local set, but not push upstream. Only unfortunate thing with jujutsu is because it is trying to be a git overlay, you lose state th

It's probably a pretty natural path for the wasp assuming it survived the initial time you were running the vac. The shopvac is just a big container with at the top an exit path following the wall naturally out the tube. They don&#x27

Belated update on this. Gemini reasoning did much better than quick on bracket city today (an easy puzzle but still). It only failed to solve one clue outright, got another wrong but due to ambiguity in the expression referenced and in a

And performs very well on the latest 100 puzzles too, so isn't just learning the data set (unless I guess they routinely index this repo). I wonder how well AIs would do at bracket city. I tried gemini on it and was underwhelmed. It m

Well, when I saw the first Supreme Commander video it looked a lot like Sprint RTS running Balanced Annihilation to me. Right down to how the terrain deformation worked and the command queuing. Was there any particular reason for the fork

Huh. I'm familiar with the Spring RTS FOSS project ( https://springrts.com ) which started as a reimplementation of TA, and of course Planetary Annihilation, but not "Beyond All Reason" - do you have an authoritati

WarCraft was a huge part of our LAN parties, but mechanics wise, Total Annihilation was a much bigger leap forward in terms of use of 3D terrain and ballistics and commands, so we played that a lot more. Warcraft had more differentiable uni

Oh, and a bit of followup. I tried the EFF cover your tracks on a Firefox profile with resist fingerprinting, and almost all the bits of identifying information came from the window size (which EFF considers "brittle") and the UA

It does not wipe your browser history. I can definitely attest to that since my generic JS active + resistFingerprinting profile has a history going back years. It does set your timezone to UTC in JS on websites. I've mostly encounter

I've had good success with tracking tool tests and resistFingerprinting. Granted, I usually use it with uMatrix/NoScript most of the time which cuts down on the available data a lot and maybe makes it an unfair test. One issue, I

privacy.resistFingerprinting = true is basically activating most of the Tor browser features in baseline Firefox. That's why it is turned off by default. It does all the things you listed above only at a lower level than a user scrip

unfamiliar with the Arkenfox user.js but are any of these things that are beyond what firefox enables out of the box if you turn on privacy.resistFingerprinting ? Because what you describe seems to be all stuff it does just by flipping flag

... and honestly, since java has both stringbuffer and string I feel it's really in the "has mutable" camp too

by capitainenemo 11mo ago
Cool, although I feel if on one side you have Java, JavaScript, Python, Go and on the other Perl, PHP, C/C++, Ruby, Rust it's hard to say overwhelming majority in either direction. Also someone below claims python byte arrays can

by capitainenemo 11mo ago
Sure, that doesn't change the point that mutable strings are a thing in those languages. And I don't think C's const is really a "mutability qualifier" - certainly not a very effective one at any rate.
