And the duplication of... about two dozen string routines, from what I've been able to find. The actual rendering engine was left to Windows (and to anyone who was using it, like AOL), the shell was left to IE to continue wrapping arou

Attempting to compare Vonnegut and Rand without acknowledging that Rand fundamentally believed poor people should suffer for their poorness is comparing a scathing comedian and a clown: you have to accept one has a point, and the other is a

I can say the faq is a lie right now. I had a spare minecraft account I migrated a while back. As an experiment, I had three friends of mine report the account for profanity. Any text field that could be filled was filled only with garbage

We've had Source-Available licenses for years (MS-PL for instance, as well as many various ones from Sun/Oracle, etc.) There's basically been a resounding "Meh" about them and the people who work on software that ad

You can still buy Nintendo made playing cards. Their hanafuda cards are pretty decent, can be gotten on Amazon, and feel good to play with. Occasionally if you look on ebay you can still find JAL/Nintendo trump decks. If you've go

This is your reminder that the FSF unionized to provide protection for the FSF against his history of workplace harassment and more. Most of the FSF staff aren't comfortable being alone in the building with him. As someone who is on th

The thing is, Spotify had libspotify. It opened a whole bevvy of open and useful Spotify clients that worked amazingly and some that still do to this day. Mopidy, as well as a handful of amazing MPD-speaking daemons got me through college

The 3rd party UEFI CA is a compromise in Secure Boot. MSFT runs the CA but they don't sign binaries, just issue certificates to anyone who asks nicely. Fedora, Ubuntu, and rEFInd were some of the first to get their own certs. So it&#x2

I at one point encountered Drew at a meetup. He basically ignores anyone who has or currently does work at any company he deems unethical (read: Google/Amazon/Facebook/etc). You're forever tainted in his eyes, and your o

Nope, human one hundred percent of the way through. Same with RGME, which is an absolute wonder dive into (currently) the operation of the SNES from a very approachable position.

I'd argue that GH won over Bitbucket because of two key factors: 1. It wasn't developed by Atlassian, who at the time had a reputation for building more unwieldy tools (Jira, anyone?) and had a weird, awkward feel. The fact that G

To present some contrast: Windows doesn't have fork(). It has a real, fully mature thread and process model. In Windows NT, every process consists of a handle that is a "Process", which in turn points to a structure containin

Calling GCC a "good" compiler is going a bit far, imo. LLVM has become the dominant compiler framework (and thus clang, clang++, golang, etc use it) because of corporate interests. GCC as it's constructed is a horrible framew

That's a gross misunderstanding of Sidewalk. If you read the paper, the goal of Sidewalk is to handle "how do I unlock my smart door" when your power/internet has gone sideways. It's intended for super low bandwidth

I just recently donated an older Sharp-NEC display that I got for $20 at a recycler. Absolutely worth the two years that it spent on my console as a Chromecast target. They're probably one of the best displays I've ever owned, and
