Don't be silly, this is the JS ecosystem. Why use your brain for a minute and come up with a 50 byte helper function, if you can instead import a library with 3912726 dependencies and let the compiler spend 90 seconds on every build to

Scammers have no problem waiting 24 hours, so this doesn't protect incompetent people at all.

To be blunt: I don't care. Don't make their incompetence my problem.

> But putting my design hat on here: couldn't this be the whole approach? No, because protecting users is just an excuse. The overreach is the goal.

That includes school-issued Macs, so I don't see how that's an argument against Chromebooks.

Yeah, you'd find out about it all in the newspapers a few hours later, and none if it was "clap to yourself in an empty room" impressive anyway. I was around back then and I didn't feel the need to act like a drug addict

And faking being sick so he could clap at Apple marketing events. He kinda lost me there.

OTOH, client Windows is the smallest and least important building block in it. Microsoft is helpfully also setting all their native apps on fire too and replacing them with webslop that runs equally poorly on MacOS, ChromeOS and Linux as it

The standard is, for better or worse, gettext; it's good enough that any attempt to replace it runs into the problem that people can't agree on how much better an alternative needs to be to be worth migrating to; so you get a co

Depends on a lot of factors. LEO has high drag, but good radiation shielding, so if you've got a low enough orbit you can use most embedded hardware but need to compensate with bigger thrusters and bigger fuel tanks if you want it to s

apt-mark manual has allowed the same functionality in apt since forever and probably inspired apk's copy of it :)

Since they're operating in Europe it's trivial to split manufacturing into 3+ places that are within an hour drive but also in 3+ distinct jurisdictions that are part of the same free trade zone, so no tax authority can have a ful

No, it's a generic android keyboard and works with all apps. But you need a keyboard like it (arrow keys, ctrl, etc.) for termux to not be a total PITA to use. (Android has full physical keyboard support, so with it you can use Ctrl+A&

A few pharaos remain only known for being so poor architects that their hastily built temples needed renovations after only 2-3 generations.

Openbox isn't limiting me, Wayland still has no advantages for what I do with desktops.

Eh, kinda. Work forces me to have Jira, Confluence, Gitlab, Copilot, the other Copilot formerly known as Outlook, the other other Copilot formerly known as Teams, as well as Slack of course, and a dozen other webslop apps open… and it still

Indeed. Much of a modern Linux desktop e.g. runs inside one of multiple not very well optimized JS engines: Gnome uses JS for various desktop interactions, and all major desktops run a different JS engine as a different user to evaluate p

Coffee was around in Ethiopia and Yemen before that, but it didn't really spread in the Muslim world before 1500, and didn't spread from there to Europe until even later.

And coffee didn't make the jump until around the same time, either. No wonder Europeans wanted to be anywhere on the planet except Europe.

It really depends on how you tackle gradual typing on a project level. The easiest way to sabotage is a "any new code must be fukly type checked" requirement, because it often means you also need to add type hints to any code you

That'd be even more reason for them to have a solid PR plan prepared, to grind down opposition and gaslight everyone into giving up. Leaving all messaging about the issue to upset users is the worst way to handle it. Even just closin

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. Sony was extremely deceptive in how they marketed the PS5 to devs, and the Helldivers dev don't want to admit how completely they fell for it.

HD2 started as playstation exclusive, and was retargeted mid-development for simultaneous release. So the PS5's SSD architecture was what developers were familiar with when they tried to figure out what changes would be needed to make
