If you would start it and run for ten minutes and not interact with it, you would have the program just sitting there, very efficiently doing nothing, waiting in getchar().

You can find an Own Cloud or a Next Cloud host in your country or whatever, and use that. That gives you calendar and contact sync, at least.

I cut my game programming teeth on DJGPP and the Allegro game programming library. Wonderful experience to have such a powerful system available to me, for free! I owe a lot to those days of tinkering and the ability these systems offered t

It says that it does not store the submitted data. If true, then it's essentially just a trained model that we get to invoke for a dollar per API call to get the output from.

There is a difference between the medium (ads) and the targeting and distribution technology (adtech). A great ad evokes some kind of feeling, can live with you for a long time, and even bring back memories that you cherish. Yes, I agree wi

So you wrote it just for GitHub stars? Not because it was useful to yourself?

Great initiative! Hopefully employers will not overlook these candidates because of their criminal record.

It seemed pretty clear to me from the description that this thing will let scripts read from Chrome to, e.g., pull in names from what you are looking at on LinkedIn and also make web requests. But OP and Text Blaze should take your question

Good site! Starts off on a rather high level, but also features detailed step-by-step instructions for accomplishing certain tasks. Well done, whoever made it!

Oh, they care about privacy just the way they care about security: valuable and actionable data about you should belong to them. Their security people are top-notch. They guard your data very diligently. If they did not, you would not trust

E-sport enthusiast are, as a group, sadly not very good patrons. They stay very long per visit and order very little food and drinks (relative to the extent of their stay). This is because many, if not most, if them will be teenagers or in

Could TinyRSS or whatever it's called help there?

Sounds like straight from the Silicon Valley TV show, where the startup ideas were all just to prefix established companies and services with "Chinese". So this would be "Chinese Android". That show featured great satire

Needlessly sensationalist. The EU just refers to the contract and that, if the current production shortage negatively impacts the EU deliveries disproportionately, there will be consequences. As per the contacts, apparently. Nothing interes

Turn on "caret browsing" in Firefox if this type of text selection and copying is your thing. Been around forever. I think you just hit F7 to activate I prefer to set Firefox to start searching when I type, and to restrict searchi

Amazing hack with the SVG mask and embedded JPEG to compensate for web browsers not supporting WebP images! This trick was used to get an image that has both transparency and lossy compression. I would have loved to see the face of the engi

If the underlings know their product is intended to be trashed, do you really think they will suffer through the late evenings and weekends of gruelling overtime to patch ugly bugs in production? I don't.

The kids will be all grown up by the time the Jira interface finishes loading. And no, I am not a Jira customer, so I am not violating that outrageous licence agreement of theirs by talking about its bad performance.

Holy hell, OP. What prevents me from just calling "postMessage" directly myself, which does nothing to prevent the "sanitation" that the replace function call there is supposed to do? Please sanitize messages on the serv

My interpretation of the situation exactly. You have to start somewhere. Raster image support should also be able to support stuff drawn on a canvas element, so I think it is a great place to start.

If the point is a copy-paste raster image that shall be understood by most other programs, then image/png is a fine choice, as it is lossless and well-known.

The "key piece" is support for "desktop web apps". The article explains what it is, and champions it (perhaps to get the click friendly title, perhaps legitimately). But I have never felt the need to "run" a we

Rook (with Ceph underneath) is great for when you need Persistent Volume support on a cloud that does not have a block storage service (like EBS) or if you're deploying on bare metal servers.

Did not take that particular class, but loved taking the equivalent at my university when I was a student. I highly recommend taking this type of class to anyone who wants to understand what happens on a low level, but not down to the OS in

Can't an app ask for a website to be opened, and then that would cause the standard browser to display said website and URL? It does not sound to me like the Chrome app was infected, just told to open a page.

No gesture typing, unfortunately. I miss that feature from GBoard, whenever I try an open source one. Yes, ASK has it, but it is not at all smart about figuring out what word I mean if I happen to not start my gesture on the exactly right s

As a user, I honestly prefer Open Street Maps, because it has a much finer level of detail. For instance, it shows playgrounds, which is great if you are a parent.

Define "uses". If you just run it in your own CI/CD pipeline: no. If you want to offer this as a SaaS: yes. If you want to extend this somehow: yes.

This feels both useful (should I need to do desktop FreeBSD) and like a walk down memory lane (from when this was how you had to manage Linux, too). Thank you for both. And thank you to all the countless developers who have made this level
