As a C++ dev myself, and lots of past experiences with code archeology, nowadays I wouldn't even bat an eye before reaching for a Docker container of the appropriate system version, where to build an old and unmaintained C or C++ codeb

But that's what I meant, using it when there is a purpose makes a lot of sense of course. I'd just enable BT, drive, then leave the car and disable BT before putting the phone in my pocket. Why leave it enabled during times that i

by j1elo 3y ago
Well, I said needlessly because of the amount of times I saw people leaving Bluetooth enabled while not using any BT devices. Their phone enabled it by default, and that's how it stays for its lifetime. Even if it's small amounts,

Always surprised to see people running around with their Bluetooth needlessly enabled. Maybe I worry to much about battery usage, but I just got used to always enable WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC, only at the moment of usage, and disabled afterw

If this was a web service, the popular solution would be Docker! But the joke might make more sense than it appears. Just like a server that was coded to work on a given version of Red Hat or Debian, wouldn't be expected to run without

Or maybe not. "google/uuid" tells you nothing about the owner. It might be Google, or it might be me, who squatted the name early on. "github.com/google/uuid" would be much difficult to squat. Also, it tel

I'm surprised they didn't go to a more clever solution such as "start loading it as soon as the most core components have already loaded, and CPU usage falls below 30% during 3 to 5 consecutive seconds". That'd seem

Ok deal, but I'm not sure what was to discuss then... Patterns, the app discussed here, is definitely a business. They are asking for a subscription fee because presumably they want to make a living out of it. Also, it is the only prod

Try to look a bit further than the simplest things. An app can be provided for free if the app itself is not meant to make money but as a funnel to bring more customers to other related business. For a design company, just getting the expos

Very interesting! I had seen the "learn more" video already, but it stayed in a corner of my mind. To compare any given piece of sound with reference sounds for ENF analysis, the references must have been recorded to start with. T

"developer mindshare" usually equals better or at least more support. Which is not at all a bullshit reason to use something.

Does anyone else have the experience of next queued videos always going wild with longer and longer videos of the same stuff? I had a screenshot prepared to report as an issue, but in the end didn't feel it would be worth it. Absolute

For sure! that one is a very good candidate for basic option to tune on any phone. I always up it a bit to gain more screen estate.

Sadly they contain some options which ought to be part of the normal system settings, but they aren't. Such as animation speed. I hate _so much_ all the wobblyness of the GUI! Everything bouncing, sliding, and hovering around. Thankful

I believe that FOSS maintainers should jump to the public showroom of providing open source software with a much stronger mentality of quoting and adhering to the license more frequently. That solves a lot of the user entitlement, in my exp

Once you separate the Guild process from all the user Session processes, by introducing Relays in the middle, a new problem seems to appear, and it's that now the routing between users needs to be handled differently. Before, any Sessi

Just curious about prices there. How much would a cab, Uber, or Waymo cost for a trip that takes 1.5h to do? To me (European) that would cost a fortune... probably doing that distance for a night out would be something to do by local train

How can they really stop this development? I mean, if I were the author, had put my effort and time into solving my own itch and released it as FOSS, only to receive a Cease and Desist, my itch would still probably be there, but GitHub woul

Not many other ways to do it... not relying on a common network is a desirable thing if you ask me (say to share photos with friends while camping without Wifi). At that point, a hotspot wifi network is the only solution I can think of. Bei

Following the Hardening Guide link [1] I see that most server configs consist of the same 3 steps: * Re-generate (and enable) the RSA and ED25519 keys * Remove small Diffie-Hellman moduli * Restrict supported key exchange, cipher, and MAC a

To be honest, this is a case of technology making humans work for it, instead of the other way around. By the design itself of TOFU, most users will trust the fingerprint because it looks like a weird string of random stuff and just pressin
