I believe the status quo is non-realistic drawings (think Lisa Simpson) can be illegal. I don't think the fact that it's artificially generated has any bearing for some important purposes.

The weird update behaviour is because file got replaced while Firefox is running. On Windows and macOS the updates happen on next start (whenever you choose that to be) so it's not an issue; on Linux updates are handled by your system

A long lived branch was a pain even in the CVS days. I'm in particular thinking about the "aviary" branch (for Phoenix/Thunderbird) Mozilla had for quite a while. Of course tooling can make it harder — there was no such

My understanding is that macOS/iOS HIG specified at some point that search fields should have rounded corners, but other text fields should have squared-off ones. Yes, the whole thing is super Apple-specific and doesn't make any s

I believe SEH (possibly for x86?) used a patented algorithm (Wikipedia says it expired in 2014), so it wasn't possible to actually do anything about it earlier than that.

Talking about WSL2 in general: it creates one VM, with mount namespaces per "distro". That's why everything shares the same network (they didn't set up separate network namespaces). Also, the GUI support in Windows 11 i

Isn't commits as they are intended a patch queue in email with a cover letter (0/n commit)? At least, that seemed to be how the Linux kernel works.

But it is about Comic Sans! As mentioned in the article, Comic Sans was shipped with Comic Chat to render the text. It just managed to outlive the associated software.

Hmm, am I misparsing the documentation? As far as I can tell from that link,<selectmenu> is actually not yet generally available. (It's also nowhere on MDN.) I was all excited about using it…

Because of pipewire this works for the whole system, and I don't think there's a Windows equivalent for that. But for editing a graph for a single playback pipeline there's GraphEdit† for DirectShow which is kind of similar (

There's also the risk that USDC (or alternate) will lower in value due to Tether crashing, even if they were merely also crypto. It may be necessary to convert to non-crypto assets instead. Of course, then there's the risk that no

That's basically the equivalent of RubySpec — reverse engineered from MRI (the original Ruby implementation) for use by Rubinius. It was adopted by the other alternative Ruby implementations too. It looks like the original is now gone,
