Your CSS should be cacheable shouldn't it?

h266 (aka VVC) is seemingly ~~late in development~~ (edit: It has been released but doesn't have much hardware uptake yet). They probably want to ensure that people are aware that it will be matched so that they don't commit to it

Would actually be nice to standardize an environment variable for this. Obviously not something that you should rely upon when running random tools but can be a nice failsafe.

Most importantly if you scale fatalities by power generated Nuclear is one of the best (last I checked only bested by solar). Coal generates releases way more radiation into the environment and has way more deaths during mining. People are

There are sort of two questions here: > why does EXIF transform metadata exist? Because there are times when it is useful to be able to quickly and losslessly rotate a photo. For example an image viewer might provide quick options to rot

But it seems that if you are re-encoding the image anyways it is best to just generate it in the "correct" orientation and skip this metadata. Emitting the metadata seems mostly useful if you are trying to avoid re-encoding the im

Fair point. I think in general it is important to remember that. There are negatives to each corner of the market so a consumer can't make a perfect choice. But in this specific case I think it does still seem strange to raise a concer

Maybe, but it exists now. Maybe if more people demanded this hardware then it would be more popular and not at risk of extinction. I don't know what rhetoric you are taking about? Recommending buying stuff that supports your wishes see

Yeah, this is weird logic to me. If you want control of your computing don't buy Apple hardware and hope to find an exploit. But hardware that supports running your own software without fighting you.

But you only get one try. 15/16 times you get a very visible failure. It isn't great. Most users won't assume malice when an app crashes. And if they reopen it a few times your chance of succeeding goes up quickly. But this i

I love the wide camera bump of the Pixels. It means the phone sits solid on the table without rocking and serves as a nice ledge on the bad for holding it. I wouldn't mind if the phone was thicker for extra battery but the bump is actu

You must be using different social media than me because it is all pushing celebrities and ads not friends and family that I want to see. I much prefer being in control of my feed. In an ideal world there would probably be a mix of both (I

Yeah, short compatibility ranges between the app and sever is one of my biggest pain points right now.

I was using PhotoPrism for a few years and switched over to Immich and am very glad I did. - There was no good mobile backup story. State-of-the-art was WebDAV sync and import delays which would truncate files and other issues on back conne

The default settings don't cache HTML. (Maybe even if the server says to cache it. I seem to need to add special rules to make it respect the standard cache headers)

If I had to guess this field was specified before page sizes of 65536 were supported. And at that point using the value 1 for page sizes of 65536 made the most sense.

If you assess that the best time to publicly disclose is immediately then disclose immediately. But I find that this case is rare. Typically it would be something like many of the following being met: - It is likely to be discovered by an a

IANAL but it absolutely isn't. DMCA is for copyright violations. They aren't providing any copyright protected information in the post. The nearest thing would probably be screenshots of their internal applications which seems to

Yes, that is why responsible disclosure almost always comes with deadlines. You give the chance for the company to resolve the issue and mitigate user impact. But if they are taking so long that the user impact will be higher than you just

One of the best features is that when you save the alarm you get a little toast (not a fully notification) "Alarm set for 9 hours and 22 minutes from now." It seems pretty silly, and can be a bit depressing when the number is less

Yeah, the state of the art is reverse DNS and then checking that the forward DNS matches which is quite a mess and requires careful use of egress IPs and depends on the network for security. Actually signing requests is a huge improvement.

It seems like this should be based on the observed situation rather than what the dock says? What if the fans of the official dock are stuck, dead or just pushed up against something? What if they ambient conditions are just so hot that the

You can sue someone for anything, and Nintendo is infamous for doing so. They will put an army of lawyers on a case that has no merit (or just enough merit not to be thrown out early) to cost the defendant lots of money or just create suffi

But by this logic roughly half of the population is trans, but the vast majority are afraid to present as such. The actual number of trans people is surely impossible to know due to these societal pressures but I find it hard to believe tha

A better example is probably 1. I general a keypair and commit it. 2. I send the public key to someone. I *really* want to be sure that 1 is persisted. Because if they for example send me $1M worth of crypto it will really suck if I don&#x2
