Windows was designed around UCS-2, while it can be upwards compatible with storing UTF-16 data, the Windows APIs don't stop you from inserting almost any sequence of 16-bit words as file names, including unpaired surrogates (because Wi

You've got it completely backwards with regard to OpenOffice. LibreOffice was prematurely forked from it for the sole reason that "Oracle owns it now"; what played out was that Oracle managed to relicense the entire suite to

Your conspiracy theory sensor is set a bit too sensitively. :) This isn't Oracle acting malicious. It's a mistake.

I'm guessing it's just a mistake. Tried posting about it on the forums?

the gov TLD is managed by the US government. It's very rare that you renew anything with ICANN, since you're almost always going at least to the entity that manages a TLD (unless you run a TLD, then I guess there'd be an ICAN

That's definitely a "split the baby down the middle" kind of solution.

You don't need a Makefile, but you can just run "make foo" and it'll automatically run "cc -o foo foo.c" for you.

Apples and oranges. JPEG XL is a new codec entirely (though it allows lossless conversion from JPEG).

Is this by the same people or is it a competitor to the PNG development group ( http://libpng.org/pub/png/ )? The latter's website still heavily says that PNG is a still image only format, and promotes MNG as t

Sometimes Tor hidden services are just convenient if you're behind a NAT you can't control (be it corporate or carrier).

I likewise remember maintaining svnsync mirrors to have locally-browsable subversion history. Not only was it faster, but it also meant I could work offline. At least until I had to sync up my local commits to a remote server, oh boy that&#

For a moment I hoped this was about forking ReactOS to be more 95-ish.

No, I meant major. Each of the 3.x releases brings in new features, deprecations, and even sometimes removed features. They are all major releases. Python doesn't go by semver rules. Semver isn't a definition for all software proj

I think it's fair to say that DragonFlyBSD has diverged with vastly different goals to FreeBSD. It's a good thing it's able to do what it sets out to do. It's not trying to replace FreeBSD.

Thanks. I don't know why these custom viewers are attempted. They're invariable terrible.

Apache 2 doesn't require that companies are charged. It's proper open source (meets all the criteria of the Open Source Definition).

CI systems shouldn't have the ability to make network requests at all, honestly.

They have that limitation, but it doesn't manifest in quite a simple way. If the container's glibc and all other binaries require Linux 6.3, you're not running it on a 5.18 host. FreeBSD is developed as a whole unit. It makes

> What's 3.5 gallons in ounces? 448. That's not even hard. There's 128 fluid ounces per gallon. 3×128=384, add 64 to that for 448. You could work through that from the smaller units if you didn't know off hand. Still,

Alternative take: the US customary units have stuck around because SI has failed to present itself as better enough to switch. Grant that all base units are arbitrary[1], many of the customary units make easier logical sense in day-to-day l

The current century being the 21st will make that very confusing. The 2000/2001 start of the 21st century is reasonable debate. Mathematically, 2001 makes sense. In terms of being excited during the 1999→2000 transition with all the di
