How would everyone be forced to switch to another OS? These machines won’t suddenly refuse to boot.

For my own projects I created a bespoke data system that exports its values as URL parameters so you can always just share the current browser location. Ex: a 3d box STL generator https://apps.josh.earth/boxbuilder/

Security is never about absolutes. It’s about relative costs vs the attacker. It seems like this system adds a strong enough layer of security over the transport that the attacker would switch to going after the endpoints instead.

What do you mean by this? Do you mean using an onboard camera for navigation and/or orientation? I’m very interested.

There are , or at least were, commercial services that did this. What do you want to do with this data? What form do you need it in?

Would it be possible to do HDMI from the expansion port, rather than up scaling the analog outputs?

I was really hoping this was about shipping containers on Super Sonic Transport. Perhaps I’m jaded with software.

I remember that app! I think the version I had was named “Sexplosion” to encourage people to click on it.

Progress. It doesn’t have to be the best. It just has to be better than C++.

When I read the headline I clicked to see how they solved the problem of getting onto the modern cell network with hackable components. Answer: they didn’t. WiFi only. Yes there are Arduino GSM modules , but they are old (2G or 3G), expensi

That’s good to hear. I’m excited to see you’ve got a good html parser. That’s worth a lot just by itself.

A power purchase agreement is critical to getting investment. The US aviation industry is wouldn’t exist if not for the UK and French governments making a purchase agreement for planes at the start of WW2

You can only do so much, so success depends on which components you decide to reuse. I wouldn’t build a new database or filesystem abstraction from scratch, for example. Rust has lots of bytestream abstractions already with a ton of work pu

Former Mozilla employee here. The fact that they are writing their own bytestream abstraction does not bode well. That said, I hope they succeed at shipping something, even if it’s not competitive with Chrome. My previous thoughts on the to

Wow. I remember this. I really wanted to work for them. I dreamed of giving the Gimp a giant overhaul.

Don’t forget Safari. Essentially there are three browser engines that all browsers are built on. The only engine that is truly new in the last 15 years is Servo. (And maybe Ladybird)

I worked on the original JavaFX launch when I was at Sun. It was a really nice toolkit to work with. I’m glad to see it still being used.

Whenever I see this discussion come up my question is always: Why do you want to manually sort a giant list? I have never needed this. For smaller lists at the human scale (<1000 items), just use an integer. For larger lists no human sho

I built an open source project like this some years ago (holy carp! 20 years ago) called Flying Saucer. It was a pure Java HTML + CSS2 renderer. I imagined people would use it to render rich text UIs in games, but the killer use ended up b

They have no chance of breaking up Google’s web oligopoly. You could have your own browser and supports everything Chrome does and it still wouldn’t matter. What matters is getting people to use your browser, which is (so far) done in only

When? I’ve used various customer service chat bots and they just point me to the knowledge base. They can’t take any actions. You have to talk to a human for that, and if I just wanted info I wouldn’t have contacted support in the first pla
