We all pay plenty. Don't forget that every product you buy that advertises on YouTube forwards some of that money to YouTube, even if you then don't watch the ads. I would be happy to pay the same amount for everything, but someho

Kotlin is from St Petersburg, it's even named after an island near it.

In addition, desktop Firefox has had support for "zoom text only" for about 20 years or so (can be enabled in settings). It works fine. Don't know about mobile, probably works there too.

Sure. You can look at their demo, it uses the exact same single-file hosting mechanism (the network requests tab in the browser dev tools confirms it — it doesn't send any other requests), and street/house addresses are visible on

No, the names are there in the file, streets included. Their default styles did not support the languages we needed out of the box (everything was shown in the local language or English IIRC), but it was easy to fix by patching the style. I

We've been self-hosting protomaps (aka pmtiles) for several years. The only thing you need server-side is a web server that can serve static files and supports range requests (so anything works; I've tried caddy and nginx). The m

How about machine translation and fixing grammar in languages you're not very familiar with? That's the only use of "AI" I've found so far. I'd rather read (and write) broken English in informal contexts like t

Given enough computers, anything will happen. Apparently enough bit flips happen in domains (or their DNS resolution) that registering domains one bit away from the most popular ones (e.g. something like gnogle.com for google.com) might be

It does work, I just used pgloader to migrate a 16 GB database from MySQL 8.4 to PostgreSQL 18 last week (around 700 tables). It's not big, but their problems seem to be with authentication, not database size or functionality. Have you

I'm pretty sure Facebook is still running it. They've done a migration to 8.0 a couple of years after it came out (it was a massive release). https://engineering.fb.com/2021/07/22/core-infra/mys

I think they will have enough clients from other parts of the world to make it work. Large areas of my country can't really be covered with wired networks, it's too expensive to make it economically feasible without massive govern

Shockingly to some, the level of network development, especially wireless network, is not the same everywhere. Even population density varies greatly. I just checked our operators, the cheapest mobile plan comes at 1 GiB of data per month.

It's an implementation detail, you're saying it like they're completely free form. Not really, they have a very specific structure that every package adheres to. Parsing them currently requires evaluating them as shell script

Nah, you can keep both. Arch and Alpine are the only two distributions where I bother to build proper packages for everything because their package managers make it so easy to do the right thing. It might be the 20th package manager in ex

Scrolling and searching through megabytes of output is often useful. Sometimes you don't expect it and can't prepare for it in advance.

It's already reality in my country, where you cannot access online banking for any banks except via their mobile applications, which (of course) refuse to work on anything rooted or running non-stock firmware.

This is much better solved by quotas which can be adjusted on the fly without rewriting your partition tables.

Have you tried both? mpv is able to play high resolution HEVC videos backwards at real time by holding the "previous frame" key. VLC can't reliably jump backwards even at second intervals, forget about reverse playback.

Inter is the only libre typeface that has good coverage, and produces readable small text on terrible 80 DPI displays. I've tested probably hundreds of them.

It blocks many more countries than just the UK because it's the lowest effort way of fighting "AI" scrapers. imgur was created as a sort of protest against how terrible most image hosting platforms were back then, went down t

Because it's an LLM spambot, it "saw" a couple of keywords and wrote a comment that's vaguely relevant to the article at hand. Do help with kicking it out by flagging its comments.

Which is covered by GP's second suggestion. I add short random password-like strings to these aliases to thwart spammers who might be trying obvious aliases, turning e.g paypal@example.com into paypal.nsi873g@example.com
