Ultimately, Congress. But the odds of getting the majority vote in the Republican-controlled House and 2/3 majority vote in the Republican-controlled Senate required to remove Trump from office are unlikely to be any better. At least n

My first thought was "why would Mozilla support a proposal to expose Thunderbolt to the Web after rejecting similar proposals for USB and Bluetooth?" So yeah, especially in light of the lightning bolt logo and "thunderbolt.io

My assumption is that they at least have an intern read them, but only act on reports likely to lead to major cases, for some value of "major" that includes cases where terrorism, large sums of money, or Important People are invol

Interesting. As far as I can tell, they're at least supposed to use location services to start the order when you're nearby. When the store isn't super busy my order is typically ready when I arrive, and I've ordered 10-

Yeah, the app and kiosks are slow and buggy, but I've never had a custom order prepared wrong with the kiosk or app. And as slow as it is, it's still almost always faster than ordering in person because your order is usually ready

As far as I can tell, every major version of GTK should be thought of as an entirely separate project, and nothing in GTK 4 made GTK 3 or GTK 2 harder to use.

I don't understand your arguments. Whatever desktop environment you're referring to probably uses some of the same underlying third-party libraries for file format support as EFL, so what's the difference? Why would being abl

It worked, at least 25+ years ago when I last used it; early versions weren't a model of stability, but that wasn't nearly as important as an X server or a Wayland compositor not crashing, since you can simply restart an X window

As someone who remembers E making the rounds among the BSD and Linux users in my college dorm when it first came out, there's no way he's only 21 if he was a baby in the late '90s.

Presumably you're talking about /SUBSYSTEM:NATIVE, and while you're correct that it changes the default entry point (to NtProcessStartup in this case), it also sets the Subsystem field in the PE optional header to IMAGE_SUBSY

I don't, though I still have fond memories of olwm, AfterStep, and WindowMaker, as well as the NEXTSTEP 3.3 GUI running on greyscale NeXT hardware fished out of a dumpster behind the Indiana University School of Journalism in the late

Given that I assume NOTEPAD.EXE is still basically a window containing an optional status bar and a multiline edit control with a custom WNDPROC for managing features like word wrap, I'm actually curious why it opens with such a large

I'm just a satisfied customer (Resolve and hardware), but it probably helps that it's a private company run by a cofounder CEO that seems to both understand and care about the company, its products, and their market. From an outsi

Worse: while, as a technical user with decades of *nix experience (SunOS since 4.1.x, FreeBSD since 2.x, Linux since Red Hat [not Enterprise] 6, NEXTSTEP and its successors since 3.3, etc.), I've never had trouble getting hardware deco

Germany lost fewer civilians than Poland or the Soviet Union, so not really victims by that logic. And while it's true that German civilian casualties were a couple orders of magnitude higher than American civilian casualties, the war

As an American with severe hemophilia, 2020, without a doubt. I was born in 1978, and in the early '80s, beat approximately 50/50 odds by not getting infected with HIV from the only available treatments at the time, and as a resul

I was just thinking that. I first started using Git to interact with Subversion repositories as a better svn than svn, and I'm surely not the only one.

This is why I prefer tactile (not clicky) mechanical keyboards to linear mechanical or "mushy" non-mechanical desktop keyboards: they're easy to reliably trigger without full travel. I also like the short-travel Apple keyboar

Probably just an unfortunate side effect of reusing the same systems used for restricted subscription downloads for free product downloads, combined with underfunding for the free product lines.

To play devil's advocate, it's not inconceivable that machine learning may eventually allow well-heeled governments to finally realize the dream of finding needles by building sufficiently large haystacks, or at the very least coe

The Linux kernel would become a GPLv2-licensed derivative work of SQLite, but that doesn’t matter, because public domain works, by definition, are not subject to copyright restrictions. Claiming copyright on an unmodified public domain work
