They seem to be in their second Pentium 4 era, pumping up the power to juice more performance when they can't quite compete. Not sure there's gonna be a second Core to rescue them this time, but that doesn't mean they're

I download still-running fiction from the internet and read them locally, and periodically replace the files with versions with more chapters. It does not sound like the workflow would work for me. (This also means hashing the contents woul

There's no value _to Apple_ (in this scenario) to building ethernet-over-HDMI to let your TV sell you ads, because Apple isn't seeing a cent of that.

It's a !ml flag, so there's a high likelihood it's wrong, because there's no downside to false positives. (The stuff I work on, which is all open source and doesn't even try anything silly, routinely but randomly ge

Last I checked (somewhat less than ten years ago), it did do things with DPI. Note that if you were using it with a sorry distro-packaged version it might have been broken because proper DPI support requires a patched X11 dummy video driver

AMD also doesn't understand that CUDA got big because they worked on cheap consumer cards; once things were working people got interested in expensive specialized cards. Their stack is still focused on the high end only, but there&#x27

Also, frustratingly, ”_unix.go" doesn't work IIRC even though "unix" is a built-in build tag, because the ending thing only works with platform names. You need to manually do "//go:build +unix" in the

I don't think I'm likely to pay for YouTube either, but for a slightly different reason: I'm afraid that if there are ever any account issues my whole Google account would be banned. I notice that I've been watching less

I've noticed a channel that consistently omits the ads (in their case, Patreon plugs) on the transcript, presumably for similar reasons. (I just let the video play because it's usually short enough that manually skipping is enough

Would that be securities fraud, because they're lying to investors? (Going by Matt Levine's "everything is securities fraud" logic here to see if that might actually change behavior…)

All of the windows visible on screen. For my use case, I was taking a screenshot of my app (for automated testing), so I ended up taking a full desktop screenshot and cropping it to the window.

Specifically, it can access screen content, but not window content. As in, passing in the desktop hwnd gets you a picture, passing in a different hwnd gets you a bunch of black. At least as of when I tried it a few months ago on Windows 10.

Don't forget all the abbreviation. "超市", supermarket, is abbreviated from "超級", super, and "市場", market. The equivalent in English would be "sup-mark" or something along those lines. (Or in Japan

Are you okay with Amazon taking your code and setting up their own version of SaaS for it? Not saying it'd make financial sense for them, just that… once you open source it they can do what they want. Also remember that open sourcing s

I thought they were mostly for drying out the actual bathroom, because Japan is an island, and it can get quite humid at least towards the southern parts (which may lead to mold issues). The warm air is also comfortable as a side effect.

Is the drying rack you're taking about the thing that's typically used with socks? That is, something like https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/x-10421217/ ?

FWIW, that's mingw-w64-xz (cross-compiled xz utils) in AUR, not ming-w64 (which would normally refer to the compiler toolchain itself).

The writeup indicates that the backdoor only gets applied when building for rpm or deb, so Arch probably would have been okay either way? Same with Nix, Homebrew, etc.

That would have been WSL1, right? As in, the thing that tried to implement Linux syscall interfaces on top of the Windows kernel? The current thing (WSL2) is "just" a VM (with lots of work to make it work nicer)…
