At some point, adding mechanics like that turns people off from the game. Those things are good for games that have limited shelf life and want to get people to dump money into it while the game is popular, but things like leaderboards actu

When making a private repo public, there's a high chance that there was stuff in the private repo that isn't necessarily ok to make public. It's a lot easier to just create a new public repo containing all the data you want t

Really the only semi-interesting part of this is "if you make a private repo public, data from other private forks might be discoverable", but even that seems pretty minor, and the best practice for taking private repos public is

If you don't like the default tab bar, you can use the zjstatus plugin ( https://github.com/dj95/zjstatus ) to replace it with a customizable one that can show the tab index.

What makes Apple an AdTech company? As far as I'm aware the only ads Apple runs these days are in the App Store, i.e. outside of the browser.

Does the compiler do anything differently if you stick to Rust but change the dispatch implementation to be an #[inline] fn next() that you put at the end of each opcode?

Nix does have tools for running stuff in an FHS container. Something I have considered but not yet attempted is to use this to wrap the build such that building the binary happens in the FHS container (using the unwrapped versions of the co

Flying requires an ID. Attending a concert should not. Any solution that is solved by "simple, just require an ID" is not a solution.

A function like strcmp() cannot assume that if it sees the same pointer multiple times that this pointer contains the same data, so there's no opportunity for doing any sort of caching of results. The JVM has a lot more flexibility her

Right, it wasn't promised to be safe until then. That doesn't mean it was definitively unsafe before, just that you couldn't rely on it being safe. My question is how would a function like strcmp() actually end up being unsaf

That's elapsed time, not CPU time.

Why can't you call strcmp? I think a general practice of "only call functions that are explicitly blessed as async-signal-safe" is a good idea, which means not calling strcmp as it hasn't been blessed, but surely it does

Why does urllib have this URL scheme anyway? If Python libraries are hard-coding knowledge about Apple proprietary stuff, then it should be no surprise that Apple may take issue with that.
198.
by lilyball 2y ago
The URL is likely used from within Apple frameworks for various purposes, and therefore it's possible for an app process to open the URL even without the app itself knowing about the URL.

I don't know what the experience is like on Android but on iOS a PWA opens in a completely separate process, without any browser chrome at all. It feels exactly like a native app that renders to a fullscreen webview.

That calculation is correct. 2^12 microseconds is 4096µs, or 0.004096s, and 12288b / 3Mbps is 12288 / 3000000 is 0.004096. So yeah, just a hair over 4ms for 1536 bytes. Exceedingly slow by modern standards.
