   I can't really say - there is an obvious film on it. The light/reflections turn into a very diffuse, barely visible lighter spot.

   I explicitly bought a high-end matte TV (Samsungs S95D) because of the coating - I like having light in my living room which means a lot of reflections from windows and other lights. Matte coating pretty much solved all my issues with glare

   Just because you got shat on the head once it doesn't mean it's fine to be shat on the head every day now.

   And yet this is exactly how it was used for rsync which caused the outrage you're all complaining about. You're being dishonest with what you wrote when the proof is literally in this article.

   I don't remember of any examples, no. I'm sure you can use your clanker to answer that though and also plot out the number of occurences.

   Which part of security fixing demands thoughtless generation of code slop without regression testing though? I worked on major OSS projects and we never just blindly pushed out untested poor quality code for security fixes since that adds W

   > Is there any evidence that the bug rate on rsync is any worse than it used to be? or just a screenshot from mastadon? There's plenty of evidence that rsync 3.4.3 has broken a bunch of features like incremental copies, yes. Which i

   The part you're missing is that those "fixes" broke a lot of existing functionality.

   It's always interesting to see accounts popping up in this thread trying to delegitimize EU and spew out bunch of vague misleading statements against it. Why is that? Which EU citizen protection is angering you? :)

    If filling those boxes was so easy, you won't have issues filling up republican boxes with content they want to hear to get funding, right? That's what happens when academia politicizes themselves - they become part of the game. A

    Now that's double standard here, isn't it? Putting up questions on forms that require you to reveal your political pole and follow the politics of one party to answer isn't really kosher in any academic environment. Trying to

    To be honest, a lot of ideas are like that - coming from folks who want to be employed but haven't actually ran an employment process.

    Having the Chinese fund EU is an amazing idea from my European perspective. Let's do more of that.

    Noone is claiming T&C overrides the law, but most laws (even here in EU) give a lot of leeway to contracts (which T&C is an example of) in cases where law doesn't establish any extra positive right. And there's no law dema

    I haven't seen anyone put this dynamic in such a clear and succinct description - the fact is that a lot of people (especially corporate managers) just hate the loss of control and will go out of their way to ban people accessing their

    Yeah, sorry, I guess I should be clearer that I'm rather sarcastic. My sad experience unfortunately shows that people less docs (or the docs are now hallucinated AI slop) instead of writing more of them.

    Err, ints are internally stored as floats as well and that leads to some really interesting performance quirks where you'd not expect. There were BASIC compilers for C64 which generated significantly faster code just because they actua

    I see a lot of complaining and very little proposed alternatives. What do you propose USB-C standard should have done?

    I think you might be looking too much into an abbreviation which is simply the easiest to pronounce of country codes.

    I think the case of Luddites shows just how strong anti-worker and anti-union propaganda is - making it a mock word was very effective at preventing uneducated people from understanding what they fought for.

    Maintaining software on Linux just takes more time and effort - due to less stability and number of distros.

    Having people put up anti-5G signs and groups of people showing up to events was sadly not uncommon in pre-pandemic era, at least here in Europe. Most of those folks seemed to have moved into antivaxx waters after covid though, haven't

    When the capital owner has thousands of properties, why spend energy on optimizing a few to make cities more liveable? Consolidation, as always, is eating the society like cancer.

    I wonder if that's actually true - unionbusting is mostly an emotional issue for leaders and owners so I wonder if there's any calculation involved. I've seen corporate HR got to insane (illegal) lengths to "stick it&quo

    Even if Visa/MC keep the fee on foreign spending, losing domestic spending will be a massive financial loss for them (and big gain for EU markets).

    If they'd come close to such chargebacks, they'd already be kicked out of the system and blocked.
