In my experience, I've never seen that used just because the API is different. There are polyfills for fetch and other things, to align node and the browser. When I've seen that check, it's been entirely because the DOM API w

If you go back to last year you will see a lot of AMD fanboys arguing such a thing, based on pure conjecture. One person replied to one of my comments saying 5000 can not run on 300 series BIOS because of [insert-technical-hypothetical-nons

> AMD isn't doing this to help customers, but to hurt intel Seems correct. ASRock already allowed 5000 series CPUs on their X370/B350/A320 motherboards with a beta BIOS released in 2020 [1]. AMD told them to stop[2]. That

yeah but what's the use case here? I've been on NVMe since 2017. Without being told about it, I would never know it's not a regular SSD. PCIe 4.0 is one of those things that if you need it, then you already know you need it.

ASRock already did this in 2020. https://wccftech.com/asrock-amd-ryzen-5000-cpu-bios-support-... Then AMD told them to stop it. Which is why that BIOS never got an official release and never appeared on ASRock's websit

Perl has a history of this due to Larry Wall's background in linguistics. His Christian faith is also an influence. In Perl you can "bless" a reference to reify it into a class. The name Perl also comes from the bible apparen

I'll continue your rant. Bruce Perens and Eric Raymond fucked us. They took freedom and made it a commodity palatable to corporations. Now, Microsoft, via Github Copilot, has plans to sell our own code back to us as a subscription-base

running up to bosses and smacking them to death really only works if you're way over leveled for the place you're in. And not even then, for many fights. A lot of fights you need to deal with additional enemies before the main bos

You might not be into the medieval-ish theme of Dark Souls or Elden Ring. I know I wasn't for awhile. You see it and you instantly think Skyrim, the Witcher, or any number of other similar looking games. I would check out Bloodborne. I

to go with that article, the best advice for picking different shades of the same hue is to work in HSL color space rather than trying to use RGB. You'll sit there all day trying and failing to find colors that match in RGB.

with LUKS you can just use a detached header stored on a USB thumb drive. Then just toss the thumb drive. But this isn't plausible deniability. You still have a hard drive in your possession and it's still covered by random data.
