So I thought from the title that they were releasing a bunch of rats to a minefield and let them trigger the mines. But apparently mines are sensitive to much larger weights and it does not work like that. Rats are trained to sense the mine

Yeah it makes a lot of sense to do it this way, however it does not feel that nefarious when there were plausable workarounds anyway.

Can you load, let's say maps.google.com/somepage in a hidden iframe and use postmessage to send location data if it already has access? Or do browsers force top level navigation for such permissions?

Yeah _0ffh's point makes sense on the path found. But even if it finds a path that is basically one horizontal one vertical line, it should still check the immediate neighbors only.

Am I missing something that this is doing something other than finding shortest paths? For example A* on an empty map should generate a diagonal path with almost no checks outside the paths immediate neighbors. But I get this: https:/

Twitter has been "done" for half a decade now. It just keeps going despite being a cesspool. It was never the trendy or the biggest social network. I don't think it will collapse. I personally only use twitter to follow thing

I deployed stuff on GCP but we moved to AWS after stability issues and horrendous support experience on GCP. And that was easy because we did not commit to any GCP exclusive services (because they tend to shut down all thr time). On AWS we

Dns over TLS has been a life saver due to this shit. I’ve my modem exposing its own dns server but using a dns over tls upstream instead of my ISP. Works perfectly.

Kind of unrelated to the actual discussion but I just realised that I never minimize things on mac. I know what the yellow bubble does, never once clicked it, neither used the shortcut whatever it is. Is this common? I used it on windows bu

So you are sure that some tech that you avoided completely (and I assume have zero experience in) is a terrible piece of software. Great. What is your take on the postal service structure of Turkmenistan btw?

Why would anyone want to buy food with crypto anyway? Can’t understand that. It is not faster. It is not cheaper to transfer. It is not even as anonymous as cash I’d say. I can see why would someone buy stuff online using crypto but this

Is pinboard still a thing? I've an account but haven't used it for ages. Maciej seems to have left twitter, http://blog.pinboard.in resolves to a placeholder page. Thought it was abandoned at this point.

I have an Apple studio display. That thing is pretty new, thick and has an A something chip running iOS inside. The camera quality is shit. Just garbage. I don’t understand how they manage to do it. I understand your comment about laptop sc

I agree. They abused their power and perhaps they should not even be able do it technically (at least without forking the chain). Just wanted to clarify what dhey did.

Also, it looks like the liquidation was pre approved by the contract that the whale deposited into. It was gonna happen regardless. They are doing this to change the way it is handled (off the chain instead). I’m not sure about the implicat

Just use years. You are already releasing shit yearly. Name it macOS 22. These places mean nothing to me.

Microsoft always had great developer tech. And having access to that tech more freely (as in on other platforms, partially open source etc) is a significant plus for me. I loved .net back in 2003 or whatever. Then I never got to use it for

Unity elegantly abuses these to provide a coroutine support. Basically you can “schedule” an enumerator to be run on the game loop. Engine iterates one by one on the iterator each frame. Can use for animations, delays etc. It looked weird f

I didn't know this was a thing. The article mentions it can do equality, range, prefix, suffix and substring queries. Does this mean that the encryption scheme creates sortable 1:1 mapped results after encryption? Kind of like a shift

Haha no, I wanted to emphasize how they are even doing the hardware different. The mobile form factor did fit my needs. Just fell short on the explanation. BTW gamer community is fucked up and people will judge each other on every single de

I have a Switch (got it when I had a surgery to ease the long recovery). The Nintendo IP is almost completely bullshit free. The success of Switch is nice too. FromSoftware is another bastion of hope. The popularity of Elden Ring is no coin

So, to avoid checking for null, you'll check for `NullString.Valid` now? The string pointer is a part of the language. You can pass it around, expose as part of a library etc. And it conveys the intent perfectly. I have no idea what is

Nah, that chart has a $0.0005 range on its y axis and even there, the value is fairly stable. This is what it looks like if the range is between $0.90 and $1.10: https://link.ekin.dev/zPe9Qq Not saying Tether is the bastion

GitHub also makes you type out the project name and that still did not help here. I guess users will always be able to fuck things up. Best solution would be to offer undos but then people will complain that deleting things does not actuall

It works fine. Lacks a lot of configuration functionality and the web interface is sub par but it works. There is no catch all feature though.

I wanted to do it when I first got one. It is possible but weird and not in any way straightforward.
