Wrong, the []byte is a pointer. There is no copy anywhere. That's why using []byte in encryption makes sense - you can wipe it out whenever you need, whereas string, the only immutable type in Go, would be a problem. Same can be done w

Try creating new AES cypher, you will see that you have to provide 16, 24 or 36 bytes in order to get AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256. There is no single [32]byte, for example, as the length cannot be inherently fixed due to this.

Funny how the law and the corporations see the meaning of "optional" differently.

I thought Steam uses Proton. How many of these gaming layers are there? Also, it looks like yet another unnecessary fragmentation.

I heard Jonathan Blow say that the problem of Linux, or native gaming on Linux, is the gazillion of libraries of unimaginable number of versions. I find it funny that investing a ton of time(by now decades) and money into making a API layer

Legacy code and online documentation. Apache was THE web server for PHP. But it was getting slow, so new alternatives started to pop up. But the ecosystem of manuals, libraries and integrations never went away.

It's more about the american politics invading every single corner of the internet. Tech is fine, it's just that it is tainted.

A cat weights about 4kg on average. A mosquito weights 2 milligrams. The cat would have to drink it in order to get poisoned.

From what I rememebr it is a very inefficient way of doing it, FPS will be a problem and I think properly syncing sound, at least over longer than few seconds, might be even impossible. Either way, it makes very little sense on too many lev

Raid or whatever your local product name is that you plug into the electric socket and it evaporates poison which is harmless to you as there is very little of it but it kills them. Some have formulas against flies as well. Also, if you are

Is there an UI wrapper for this?

With metadata endpoint, things become much easier, that is true. Though how would you implement it? Like, user comes to your website and wants to sign in with some foo.bar provider, do you force the user to paste in the domain where you go

Fear of sharing ideas is one thing, but code? Well, that is a different beast altogether. In the end, it depends on how much YOU value the code. It might be a nothingburger but it took you hours or days to write because of some intricacies

No worries. The speed is built into the web browser. YouTube cannot disable it. Meaning, even if they remove the option from the player UI, the functionality cannot be removed. A simple browser extension will therefore always be available t

I didn't say it was impossible, just impractical and that is why majority of services that use SSO only support google, apple, twitter or facebook. You write the code specific to these few providers once and are done with it for good.

Well the problem is simply user base. There is no point in being provider if you have 100 users. On the other hand, despite OIDC being standardised, there are way too many ways of implementing it. It is essentially impossible to have a &quo

Likely because people need boundaries in order to be creative. If you have no limits, you will very likely go beyond what is valuable or useful. But if you are giving parterres within which you must operate, then you are able to fully utili

You must be an extra special kind of thick. I'm obviously not talking about me travelling to the UK and not abiding by their laws FFS.

Sounds like UK problem to me. No one can be expected to know or abide laws of another country. In person or in the digital realm. If UK has some laws, then UK citizens should abide them, not the rest of the world. In other words, say bettin

I was able to read books in double digits in 2021 and 2022. I have some I want to read but I cannot. It simply boils down to distractions. I need to have nothing to do. It does not even have to be something imminent. Just knowing I have thi

I still use an old 2022 version. I despise Jetbrains and their pricing model and won't support them one iota. When the time comes, I'll move to something else. VS Code never worked for me. Maybe Zed could be a replacement, who kno

Thanks for the info. I'm curious to see what people will do when Jai will finally be released next year. So far, Rust has been gaining a lot of traction, although wit ha lot of controversies attached to it. Zig seems to be doing well b

Why are people so obsessed with Zig when Odin has been stable, though not yet with official spec, for such a long time and used in real production for years? Is it just syntax preference or does Zig provide something amazing that I am missi
