Yea, and the point is that they really should not have picked LGPL in the first place. If you pick a copyleft license, please don't do it because it's cool - do it if and because you care for what it stands for. However, I thought

Of course it does. Advertisements, as a general concept, have an effect of driving customers to sales (simply because it creates awareness about the product, when there was none) - I'm not arguing it doesn't. But Google's app

Weird that you say it’s built in, because I specifically checked and I didn’t see that option anywhere. I’m using 1Password on GNU/Linux with Firefox. And I don’t think I saw it in a spec as an actual requirement for compliant implemen

The problem is, it's NOT mandatory in the spec, not even properly encouraged, and even the official demo at https://webauthn.io/ (and unofficial demos linked from passkeys.dev, like https://www.passkeys.io&#

If ads would have actually worked as preached by the industry, ad blockers wouldn't exist. ;) But it's Google's and Facebook's best interest to make people believe that they do, no matter the reality. What they actually

Sorry but this is completely wrong. Passwords are not device dependent. Save for some user-hostile enterprise environments that try to implement passwords without letting user "see" them, you can store passwords on any medium, wit

Apple Watch used to have Uber app, then it was discontinued and removed for some reason. I suspect it’s probably the same for other watches.

And that is exactly how we ended up in this modern word of crappy software. By not caring.

I can totally agree that Go is good enough for most projects, to the extent it's a go-to choice for many. However, it's not always the best tool - frequently it wins just because it allows to prototype quicker. YMMV, but for me,

It is not performing well for me, tends to just freeze for a few seconds when switching tabs after some time. No idea why (large scrollback is my only guess, but I'm not sacrificing that) and how to diagnose this. I switched to Kitty,

Is there a contradiction? I'm not aware about Rust or C# REPLs (a lot of results comes up, but no clue how serious are those), but GHCi surely proves that you can have both.

I vaguely remember shooting myself in my foot by doing some weird stuff with deep attrset transformations, where I managed to screw-up those "special" attrsets by making a mistake in a function that tried to build module options d

Unless I'm misunderstanding how it all works, it's just attrsets underneath. Like JSON objects with some semantics given to them - and those (and their YAML counterparts) are not exactly great. In particular, I believe (I could be

nixpkgs.lib has mkDefault/mkForce/mkOverride system (which I'm not a fond of because of the poor type system, but at least it works) that feels like a better approach than this weirdness.

Searching a large codebase for a constant (like "DL", plus tracing all related variable use if something is assigned this or related value), and replacing the logic is a relatively easy kind of change. Especially in the modern day

Community fiber for the last few miles is the only thing that makes sense - you are correct that there is no point in building redundant wiring. One shouldn't be legally blocked from having alternatives, though, of course. This fiber s

What is wrong with communal fiber for the last few miles? As long as it’s truly a “public road” (for a reasonable network size) without any small print, owned by the consumers themselves so they decide on the peering? (But are legally preve

Sorry for possible confusion! I should’ve been more clear, as I mean that NN imposes expensive compliance. I heard that there are various barriers to running an ISP (like exclusivity agreements - TIL FCC had actually prohibited those in 202

Wait, do you mean ISPs in the US don’t need licenses and/or permits for the wires? I have heard this was the case, and that those are hard to obtain (particularly because of the regulation barriers supported by large telecoms, as it lo

This doesn't happen in a healthy market. If the barriers to the market are low enough that anyone with some business sense can enter without requirement for a lot of money and lawyers to fight against the incumbent, then demand for a d

Nix-the-language imports are dead simple: https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/05-functions-and-imports#... - `builtins.import ./foo.nix` makes it like we had `./foo.nix` copied and pasted in place of it.
