I thought it was referring to Hayes AT and I was agreeing 1000%. I guess some names may be cursed.

Funny I don't know how this is supposed to look like because I haven't used Win11. Icons look sort of dithered or something.

More than just one line: - Why check every 5 minutes? It's not like anyone will die if you wait a day to upgrade. - Why download it without user confirmation. This is the worst one. - The timer should not be stopped, or the user is for

You think one month is too long? Try Germany, where 3 months is common.

But not every author will have agreed to the EULA, if the project includes code by people not in GitHub. E.g. if there is a GitHub mirror of a project that is not hosted by the author, if a project received a patch via email instead of a PR

I asked myself the same question when I learned yacc and bison. For most languages, the tokens are a regular language and a simple regex lexer is enough. Regular expressions used by a lexer end up as a state machine. It does not make much s

It is ONLY about controlling the flow of information, all the rest are just excuses and rationalizations. If they really wanted to tackle illegal behavior then the laws are already there (that's why it is "illegal" in the fir

What's the point of GTK4 and why does it have to be incompatible with GTK3? Is it really worth it to spend so much developer effort across so many projects to migrate them to GTK4?

I don't get why there is no inter-relay communication. From what I read it would just work but it is not allowed for some reason.

I also asked myself the same question. What I gather from the answers here is that browser vendors are to blame for not providing a mechanism. The law only says there's got to be explicit opt-in, but not the mechanism.

That's the same line of thinking as the people who first broke GPT with DAN (see this guy Aristophanes' write-ups on the topic). They think that those models will be used to restrict us and thus the idea is to force OpenAI to make

Short answer: if it could it would already be. First, no one wants to move away from the "real" thing. The alternatives are there and there, even things line NOSTR where you own your own identity and not a server. Then, and most i

Sadly parents have become so inept, lazy or uninterested that they need the state to step up and raise their children into good and healthy habits. Pretty sad and it's not even parenting that they will receive from the state but a medi

I'm curious, when did OSes first begin zeroing out pages. Did the first operating systems already zero the memory?

That's because the manufacturer won't provide service manuals or schematics. Probably the thing itself is not designed to be repairable, but that's an issue with the product itself, not with the technology.

I looks like it changed its mind now: > No, nuclear war would not be good for humanity. It would cause immense suffering and devastation, and could potentially lead to the extinction of the human race.

So many of the answers here revolve around whether the the school will teach the subjects or the students will take it. Is that all there is to education? So one is only supposed to learn what is taught in a course? I'd expect that if

How come work “autonomously created by a computer algorithm running on a machine” cannot be copyrighted <<it was made “without any creative contribution from a human actor”>> but machine code as generated by a compiler can?

I wished more people knew this. Also, if you miss a couple of plants while de-tasseling it can be very bad. You must also sign contracts with your neighbors where they will refrain from planting the same crop (in exchange for $). Additional

I wonder why the Eikonal equation (and variations) and level-set methods are so rarely discussed. They yield any-angle paths and can also take into account the kinematics of the vehicle (e.g. minimum turn radius). I used it to solve a pathf
