They don't have to be. I have a traditional non-sandboxed app with an MSIX installer. It's less flexible than MSI but it doesn't mandate a sandbox for the installed application.

They recently acknowledged and fixed this issue. I can personally confirm it hasn't happened to me since the update. https://www.pcmag.com/news/microsoft-fixes-update-and-shut-d...

FWIW, the top comments at the time of my comment (one hour after yours, two hours after the article was posted) are all complimentary. You commented one hour after the article was posted; it's worth waiting a bit for the comment voting

I can't imagine a situation where that sort of response isn't rude. It's polite to assume people have thought about their opinions, and to address the points rather than the person. If they didn't think it through, then

They eventually upgraded the BeBox to the 603e, I wonder if the same L2 workaround was used on those models.

I think you are misunderstanding what C# does here, and what the original poster was suggesting. Maybe we did a poor job of describing it; I assumed people knew C#. The key words in OP's post were "before first use." It sound

C# requires explicit assignment. If an appeal to authority sways you (it shouldn't), you can substitute Anders Hejlsberg instead of this random OP. How long do you suppose Anders Hejlsberg thought about this? But I contend it's mo

They're right. This is over the top. Your initial post in this thread was sensible (telling the users of Pgbackrest that they should have supported it if they didn't want this to happen, and saying nothing about what emotions ar

I used it for https://tmbasic.com to build an IDE in the style of Turbo Pascal for my toy language. Originally, I was going to implement the TV wrapper framework and UI builder in this project instead, so you could write TUIs in

Definitely. Reach out to me or magiblot if you ever need any help. I love this stuff, and magiblot is extremely responsive. They have helped me many times and even made changes to tvision to support my use cases. As a stretch goal, you migh

I've done some work with this tvision port as well. Every time I use a new TUI framework, I'm disappointed. Invariably, Turbo Vision is better. I'm actually working on my own .NET wrapper, too. I don't think I'm as

You've just constructed your own crappy in-memory zip file, here. If you have to build your own custom index, you're no longer using the standard tools. If you find yourself building indices of tar files, and you control the creat

My personal experience with our legal department on naming is that if your product name includes someone else's trademark, you have to say "Our Thing for Their Thing", exactly like that. I was involved in a product that did

I can't answer for NVIDIA but AWS has its own training and inference chips, and word on the street is the inference chips are too weak, so some companies are running inference on the training chips.

Technically correct by some estimation, perhaps, but Cygwin is a crazy approach, was slow (contrary to the implication of the "low cruft" claim), was not as compatible as these other approaches, required recompilation, and was wid

You mean that if you were Anthropic, you'd build the data centers on every continent? Can you explain your reasoning? We're talking about billions of dollars of extra capex if you take the "let's build them everywhere&qu

tbh, that's a good point about the voice agents that I hadn't considered. I guess there are some latency-sensitive inference workloads. Thanks for pointing that out.

They want it, sure. Customers want everything if it's free, but this is about what they value with their money . In this thought experiment, you're Anthropic, not the customer. You're making a choice that's best for

For AI inference you don't need to geographically distribute your data centers. Latency, throughput, and routes don't matter here. When it's 10 seconds for the first token and then a 1KB/sec streamed response, whatever i

I'm curious, do you know which virtual machines (i.e. what emulator and what OS) you would want? Does the software exist and it's just a matter of the time to set it up? Or is it harder to get ahold of all the necessary old softwa

I've done this for real, in commercial code that shipped. No trust needed; I have personal experience. For typical minor MessageBox additions, this can be easier than rebuilding the whole dialog yourself. Sometimes, we just wanted to a

I like it. Genuinely, I think APL only reuses glyphs for dramatically different monadic vs. dyadic behavior because there were limited positions available on a Selectric type ball. Many glyphs are reused as-is for multiple meanings, and the

My memory from the old days is you can use Win32 hooks to modify the MessageBox. HCBT_CREATEWND gets you the HWND of the MessageBox, and you can subclass it (in the Win32 sense) to insert your own WndProc. Then you're off to the races-

You're right. I've edited my post not to accuse the author of lying.

The author wrote "No rules beyond basic ethics and law" which suggests to me that there were instructions in a prompt and the title may be misleading.

I had forgotten that you had to individually request AWS services early on. I checked my email history from 2007 and it's true, I was initially only granted access to "Amazon E-Commerce Service"! I got a separate email conf
