I've had a couple webapps where I needed to use the FS API (which allows users to provide real, accessible folders to a webapp, unlike OPFS). I can't understand why anyone would want to use OPFS or what problems it solves that a s

Sentry is great. I help develop an open source game engine and they have given us a free team license for their product since it is open source. They've been invaluable for fighting crashes and regressions.

If I'm already compiling ogg vorbis/opus/minimp3/etc via emscripten (allegro app), is there still big benefit to using these instead?

The before/after delta is very satisfying and clearly easier to work with. Very nice. How does the DSL handle side effects? I'm assuming any term here could be a compound expression, so what part of the system prevents "0*cal

Just today I had to reset my Dropbox password b/c it had a "`" character, and I was trying to use a self-service printer at FedEx. Their weird touch keyboard didn't have backticks.

Yes, it's true. There's a reason GPL is called copyleft. > Lest everyone using any flavour of Linux is liable to the same problem? The kernel is GPL. applications running on it in usermode are not constrained by the license. h

Since SQL takes arbitrary strings as input, this would require explicit compiler flags to disable the knobs you don't want. Can't rely on excluding unused symbols really.

to be fair, PE is not designed or meant for helping people learn a language. that isn't the project's intent. people do like to say they use PE for learning new languages, but I doubt that is a useful exercise beyond maybe the fir

It's really a bottomless pit of interesting technical projects. Careful, if your game engine has users other than yourself, it is also a bottomless pit of feature requests and bug reports. Source: me

good advice for internet citizens (too bad the uptake will be too slow). but doesn't address how courts and law should function.

Well, it's polluting the global window scope with all those helpers. That's a reason to never use this imo. There are plenty of other jquery-lite helper libraries out there. 95 percent the utility with hardly any cost in terms of

My dream program is a tool that takes a video of a game on a pool table and feeds it into an interactive playback tool like this one. There's dozens of awesome shots I wish I could experience again on demand.

I guess the article could have made it clearer, but software that is not used or where security issues are not actively fixed, they obviously don't apply to the findings. But that kind of code is uninteresting to talk about in the firs

fixup lets you mark a change to be rolled back into a previous commit, without changing the history (yet). When you do `git rebase --autosquash` it then automatically moves those commits as `fixup` in the right places. It helps to queue up

"they said there's nothing under the sun in I.T. solutions" I can't tell if this is a mistake or an intentional 3D-chess level joke. I love it.

Years ago I experimented[1] with a similar concept (wanting something like JavaScript source maps, but for HTML). I didn't manage to find the time to expand on it, but I think web developer tooling would really benefit from this sort o

Some of the problem stated in the post is a little forced, namely the issues with bisect and blame. That's only an issue if the review doesn't end with a squash. Also as a user of gerrit via the Chromium project, I'm not awar

That's hardly a supported policy you'd find in the Democratic party platform, or the position of the Biden administration. Don't confuse a few of the most left leaning members of the party with the whole. It's a big tent

I recall seeing a regional breakdown on what different parts of the US call the frontage road. Fun fact, apparently the Houston area is the only place that uses the term "feeder road" (or just "the feeder"). In fact, bei

Houston native here. I still guffaw when I see a massively lifted truck (but with a pristine bed, no scratches - so not even a work truck). Everything's bigger in Texas, including egos.
