Even though this is a joke (made me chuckle), I have a hunch somewhere, someone is going to use this for real, for job protection or to appease that manager who insists that static HTML is sooooo 2009.

In the non-debug build, the compiler was free to align structs as it saw fit, in the debug build, it was told to pack them really tight, no padding. Why? The only reason I can think of is to save a few precious bytes of disk space.

I worked at a company once where they, too, used raw memory dumps as their file format. The compiler flags telling the compiler how to align structs were different for debug and non-debug builds. So, of course, the first thing I did, was to

Xee is an image viewer. If you follow the link to the landing page of the repo, it says in the About section it is "Xee source code for xCode 4.5"

While I totally empathize with the poor author who had to suffer through this madness, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this rant. My favorite part was this: PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such would be

dillo ( https://www.dillo.org/ ) might come close to that. AFAIR, it does not support Javascript at all, and has very limited support for CSS, so many pages look terrible in it, BUT it can have dozens of tabs open and still

Hehe, my brain wanted to read "German" at first, and I was slightly confused for a moment. Thanks for the suggestion!

Heh, I use ts(1) on a fairly regular basis. It is a very nice tool, and it even supports multiple job queues via environment variables.

There used to be an add-on (or was it even built-in?) to block loading videos and images unless explicitly requested by the user. I sometimes still miss that, especially on mobile.

I really dislike titles of this form ("I love to do X, and so should you"). It might not be the most rational response, but I intuitively refuse to let some article in some magazine tell me what I should or should not do, let alon

They say it takes one to know one. The question is if that refers to language inventors or murderers. I got 8/10 right, so I guess I had better come up with a programming language pretty soon. ;-)

> BTW, the text aliasing in the screenshots didn't look that sharp on a CRT. :) Wow, now that is what I call a blast from the past - the last time I sat in front of a CRT was ... roughly 15 years ago. (-:

So far I have found the lack of good tutorials my main roadblock towards learning Raku. I am looking forward to spending the weekend working my way through this.

The oldest device I have actually used to access a web site was a Sun SparcStation 20, built ca. 1992-93. However , at 64MB RAM, accessing the "modern web" would be extremely, painfully slow, at best. In fact, the memory-hunger o

AFAIU, you are correct, but apparently, "most flash devices" does not include MicroSD cards. At least that is how I remember it.

But in Go, case-values must be constants, right? This would make the trick from the referenced source code impossible, I think. (Whether or not that is a good or a bad thing is a question I am deliberately ignoring.)
