Not really, individual package developers don't have as much inmediate control over the repository's state as they do with NPM. Packages go through a review by one of the trusted developers and sometimes automated QA and testing (

Time and time again I'll keep saying this: This problem is only solved with package repositories that require review by a maintainer to publish. Linux distributions solved this ages ago.

The entire last two sections are completely arbitrary and cherry-picked, and simply amount to "does the browser ship uBlock and ClearURLs by default with these specific filters", which isn't very informative nor useful a priv

I can't speak for cmake but in autotools it's always just been "./configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnueabi" or whatever other target triplet is of relevance. It's similar in Meson. The annoying factor is gatherin

The main issue with unity builds is the simple fact that you get very slow incremental builds. When working on a project you generally want to keep a cache of already-built files to avoid wasting time on a rebuild, while not sacrificing run

I'm mostly wondering, what does this have over regular Lua, especially now with 5.4?

Literally everything you can make to solve a problem leads to XKCD standards. If we go by XKCD logic we wouldn't have Netflix because it would just be another "standard" alongside all of the other film distribution methods.

Oh and I should add that it was already rather compulsory in order to be able to log in to your account on "public" computers (think printing services, schools, ...), as google would straight up block the login unless you got an e

This is an issue with any modern systems language like Go and Rust, and it doesn't seem like this trend is going to stop. NPM will happily download precompiled binaries for certain packages, and NuGet only works with prebuilt package

It doesn't hurt to use (f)puts anyway when you intend to print a static string. This way you avoid extra overhead when using compilers that don't do this or building with flags that disable this optimization, as well as just clari

The requirements for memcpy, memmove, memset and memcmp stem from the fact that statements like "char arr[100] = {0};" or "struct somestruct some_a = some_b;" cause implicit memsets and memcpys, in cases where it can&#x2

I'll never get why people complain about git being confusing when "man gittutorial" and "man giteveryday" are top-notch entrypoints into the git documentation.

I'm skeptical as to whether this can really be done in 10 mins. Finding the right chip can take a good while and especially tracing the bus you need to other chips. And the fact the traces were accessible with the thing semi-assembled

It was indeed designed to be a portal for escaping the sandbox, but this has the nice side-effect of allowing the file dialog to be implemented by whatever program is called through D-Bus. This is already being used in KDE distributions to

I like this analysis, though I personally believe the current culture and prevalent behavior that you describe as "toxic" has more to do with anonymity in and of itself, as well as how it's moderated, rather than how the site

Usually it's old software that gets leaked. Windows NT4 source code has leaked before, amongst others. It doesn't have much of an impact at that point, except for enthousiasts.

As far as I know, only the code is signed, not the partition table. This means that you can freely modify the partition table and completely remove some modules.

The web wasn't made to be used as a desktop app replacement, and it will never be. Quit trying to make it that way, and start using a widget toolkit like you should. Hell, if you love html/js so much, there's a big chance you
