"Do only one thing and do it well" is highly dependent on how you define "thing", yes. Is awk bad because you can't compose the internals of its built-in functions? Are vim and emacs bad because they have multiple m

Seems to be mostly a Dell/Microsoft problem, haven't heard of other vendors removing S3 functionality (yet, anyway).

The status quo is the continued existence of IrfanView, which is probably as close as it gets to the ideal. Hasn't changed much since the 1990s, and looks like it, but supports about everything via plugins.

Isn't it even illegal to have pictures in some countries, precisely to avoid such biases?

Hasn't it "been making progress" for the past 3 years or so?

Strictly speaking, for a pure right to repair , it doesn't even need to be OSS licensed. Germany's Left Party (inspired name, I know…) is lobbying for that constellation e.g.: License can be restrictive, as long as users are give

Someone still needs to write those, and you'd need to be a psychic to succeed in making an immutable API that can handle all possible future requirements. E.g., up until a while back, 32-bit ARGB as exchange format would've been s

The Agile Manifesto and what consultants peddle as "agile" have a surprisingly small overlap.

Would be interesting, if we hadn't moved everything to ZFS years ago.

GTK, which we can't use easily due to licensing headaches and deprecates useful widgets faster than we can try to use them, or Qt, which we can't use due easily to licensing headaches and with QtQuick is just web apps in more comp

The big difference is that all three of them are still fully supported, and continue to receive updates. On Windows, 90% of UI toolkits are deprecated with no support, no bug fixes, nor migration guides.

We have plenty of Windows-only customers. We're still giving them wrapped web apps when they ask for desktop applications. Because even if the customer is all-Windows, developers sure aren't (unless you're a C#-exclusive sw

That actually looks really interesting, thanks!

Yeah. This whole mess pushed me to moving everything I had (or could remember, anyway) to Tachiyomi¹, so I can hop between hosting websites freely without losing progress or access to old chapters (as long as I don't run out of local s

Accurate CMYK is the crux here unfortunately; we've got a headless browser PDF setup already working for anything that's fine with "sRGB, probably?" in terms of colour accuracy, but there's a bunch of large companie

We use remote scripted Indesign instances for creating catalogues, which needs Windows to run, and RDP for debugging. I'd love to hear about alternative solutions that don't require Windows, and still spit out colour-accurate CM

Except it's not, as it mixes glibc with musl in ways that induce undefined behaviour you don't expect. If it was recompiling all packages to use glibc, the name would be more appropriate… but also still a trademark violation.

You'll still get dinged in security audits for it if your auditor feels lazy and needs some gotcha to prove his worth to management. I've been trying to argue against it, but in the end management would rather waste money on compl

Replace C/httpd with golang and you get a stack that's fairly decent.

Cynic mode: Putting sighash in things you shouldn't is incredible common cargo culting in cryptobro areas, it's much more likely that the people involved didn't even understand its implications.

Indeed. The idea is noble (if things like Youtube ran better on old devices, a lot of people would be forced to upgrade less often), but the opaqueness of the benchmarks and the "please give us money for books/consultancies"

Probably a reasonably decent benchmark, given its age and specs. I think the only reasonable step "up" (or down, specs wise) would be acceptable performance on $30 KaiOS devices, to maximize accessibility to visitors from developi
