Fair point. But probably not going to happen...

If you want to keep XSLT in browsers alive, you should develop an XSLT processor in Rust and either integrate it into Blink, Webkit, Gecko directly, or provide a compatible API to what they use now (libxslt for Blink/Webkit, apparently

I have used it a year ago with macOS 14 or 15 and it worked. I've had problems copying too many files at once (don't remember the problem exactly), that's why I only copy about 100 at a time. Your mileage may vary.

Counter question: How do you know it works? A file manager better be rock solid, I don't want a bug to delete any files or do other shenanigans.

Chroma subsampling was developed for TV, long before JPEG.

Are you speaking of chroma subsampling, or is there a property of the discrete cosine transform that makes it more effective on luma rather than chroma?

TFA itself has an incorrect DOCTYPE. It’s missing the whitespace between "DOCTYPE" and "html". Also, all spaces between HTML attributes where removed, although the HTML spec says: "If an attribute using the double-q

A huge pet peeve of mine is people getting annoyed by phrases like "I mean." :)

How did you measure this? Do you know that /dev/null is the limiting factor, or could it be the data source that is limiting?

And those are some very low hanging fruit. If you look at the bigger picture, Apple does not know how to balance ease of use on the one hand and control over details by power users/geeks on the other hand. They simply do not let you

I do not think that GP's comment was meant that way. GP simply wanted to clear up a misunderstanding that was apparently created by the renaming of this thread to "Greg Newby, CEO of Project Gutenberg, has died", which has be

I'm sorry, but this reads somewhat misanthropical itself. Let people have some fun?

This article has a bad name. It is about very reliably detecting individuals near WiFi networks, regardless of whether they carry a device with them, by decoding unencrypted WiFi signals. The title makes it sound like generic "beware o

Rest in peace, Professor Lehrer. Your witty lyrics combined with virtuoso piano play have not yet been surpassed, to my or your knowledge, which you might have found sad; it might alternatively be seen as testament to talents that may appea

Why should it not allow for your spiralling brushstroke? You can divide the spiral into the strokes corresponding to each turn around the center. We can assume that each of these strokes is measurable (otherwise we would not need the constr

Out of curiosity, which companies other than Jane Street would you consider "Better-than-FAANG"? I am asking because I am interested in internships, too, as I am currently an undergrad (in math).

The concept of the antilibrary might help me make sense of my book collection. I stopped buying books because I usually don't read them in the end. However sometimes there are rare moments where it is nice to be able to fetch a specifi

No, I don't know how they communicate exactly. However, I imagine between the processor and flash memory proper there sits a flash memory controller (provided by the flash memory manufacturer) that speaks some protocol akin to ATA. Tha

> A USB based method for resetting a device would be perfectly acceptable to use before sending in a device for repair. I think that is true, but with one caveat, you should test if the resetting actually worked. I once had an Android ph

I guess it is true that you can erase an entire flash device in a split second. But that doesn't help you if the erase command was not implemented correctly. And I am sure that you cannot implement an erase command from within the op
