What does encryption have to do with you not having a label?

I tried searching a lot of things, can't tell what the thing is. Seems like something between org mode and a graph/adjacency database.

With virtio-fs I think this is becoming more doable. Of course, it's not quite as fast as running a guest filesystem on virtio-blk yet, but maybe it'll get there.

Isn't the fact that nobody involved in this seizure could tell that they weren't AirPods counterfeits a form of evidence that OnePlus Buds may in some circumstance be AirPods counterfeits?

Bryan is brilliant, but he misses the mark on generalizations. Popular generalizations are actually pretty accurate.

Please tell that to the entire world, where the only other “standard” document format is Office '97 or OOXML. Given that PDFs support fillable forms, scripts, video, 3D objects; it is a massive error that at no point did anyone think t

PDF is so bad for representing text that when you tell people about it, they think you're trolling or wrong. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24112836

That's cool, I had no idea it'd gotten that inexpensive, I wonder how much cheaper it can get.

Not source-incompatible. Yes, if you have a binary linked against an old dynamic libc then you may have to give an alternative LD_LIBRARY_PATH or link it statically after the fact.

This is why the open source angle is so crucial. If the expertise is distributed well between the stakeholder states, it can produce more state sovereignty, because it is at least plausible to fork. It serves the best arguments of both

What are those costs? My general understanding is that it may break down in a gassy way, but is that really so significant that it justifies the energy and opportunity cost involved in sorting and processing it for recycling? How does the c

Non-aluminium recycling doesn't make a whole lot of sense in North America. For plastics, you can make some case for PET recycling, but little else is at all practical. Paper recycling is doable, but basically pointless when we have su

There is a fork of the PulseAudio Bluetooth modules that supports LDAC, AAC, AptX, and AptX-HD. LDAC should be supportable upstream, I think it's coming. On a side note, LDAC is so laughable. I have to imagine the engineers working on

On that topic, when I get fully set up after my move, I'll have more time to devote to my A2DP Opus mode. I think it's actually not crazy to decode Opus on Bluetooth chipset DSPs, even all the way up to the maximum bitrates. One n

Americans are probably the most woke to this, and very self-critical. In a lot of places nobody notices this stuff or feels embarrassed about it like Americans do. The problem to me seems that people like what is being said, so they don&#

Isn't buying goods to resell them just called retail ? Enabling retail is a massive part of U.S. property and commercial law, this is how Blockbuster was able to do business.

We have already built our own compiler, it's just that a lot of work has to be done to deduplicate expressions (in part because references are stored in A1 form, this is also part of why it takes about 15 seconds to unzip the ODS and p
