Yes, but instead of saying "this spec is shit and full of vulnerabilities. Let's work on improving it", they just refused to participate in the discussion. What a childish POV.

So, basically, they noticed some potential insecurities in the implementation proposed by Google. Instead of negotiating modifications to the spec like adults, they threw their toys out of the stroller and refused to participate. What a bu

I interact with physical devices frequently. Mozilla's adamant refusal to implement WebSerial and WebUsb in Firefox forces me to install Chrome on every platform i use. That is just an asinine hill to die on.

I used Unison many years ago, and it worked perfectly for all my use cases. Not sure how it stacks up these days. CLI only IIRC.

That is somehow fitting, given that the 'maintainer' is also thoroughly broken.

As someone married to a Korean, I am not surprised in the least. Every single one I have met (males at least) drinks like a fish. It is impossible to describe to a westerner just how ingrained the drinking culture is over there.

So, deuterium needs to be obtained from sea water through distillation and electrolysis - both energy intensive operations. And tritium comes from nuclear reactors. I have always wondered - assuming that the confinement problem is solved,

I find that many younger people have a hard time 'getting' sarcasm and irony when it is not explicitly pointed out. I wonder if it may be due to the prevalence of '/s' in online discussions, or if something else ch

Don't forget the cost of storage. In the days before streaming, WB used to store (digitized) movies on LTO tapes, which are dirt cheap. The programming software would load up a tape the day before broadcast and transfer the contents

How accurate can you get with Hall-effect sensors? Back in the day when I was in the field (30-40 years ago), we used to get 20 bits of resolution out of a course+fine rotary inductosyn pair.

Yes it starts slow, but keep at it. It starts to get interesting about halfway into the book, if I remember correctly.

Agree. I think Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance encapsulates the art of troubleshooting the best. Especially the concept of "gumption traps", "What you have to do, if you get caught in this gumption trap of value ri

My experience with no-code or low-code products (like Glide, but I have not tried Glide yet), is that they are fine and dandy when you have a single table or sheet. But as soon as you have to source data from multiple tables 9or sheets), th

Disagree. A resume needs to be a professional-looking document, not necessarily a simple one. LaTeX is much better as the primary format, with plan text and html serving as backup.

by deepspace 2y ago
I agree, but it can be useful to produce html and plain text versions of your resume and cover letter too. Per-job customization, and adding custom metadata for cover letters, is also useful. What worked for me was I creating a simple pyth

Why is the effort "slow"? As far as I can tell, LZMA is still better than ZSTD at compression. ZSTD is just faster. So LZMA seems to be a better solution to the bandwidth cost problem.

Have you tried writing (or even just reading) a configure.ac script?

The author also seems not to have discovered 'make configure' and the horrors of the automake/autoconf toolset and the m4 macro language.

I've had mine for a long time. I mostly use it to read and clone 125KHz RFID tags. I have a few ideas to make it more useful, but every time I try to get into developing an app, I get frustrated and give up. It is probably the worst
