Yes, accuracy matters in this discussion. Not conflating numbers which have no relation to each other matters. We haven't "surpassed the 1.5C target" just because one year is abnormally hot. When we finally do officially su

The 1.5C target (which, as others pointed out, is not an end-of-the-world scenario) is about average temperature above pre-industrial baseline across 20 years. The temperature anomaly of a single year has nothing to do with that; 2028 wil

.. What do you mean by "beats" here? Is the article trying to hide the fact that they're doing dithering for, among other things, artistic reasons? A dithered image almost certainly beats a non-dithered JPEG compressed image

The point is it's a difficult problem which nobody has solved perfectly. ALSA was certainly not better.

In Rust, there are safe syscall wrappers, and then there's the unsafe general `syscall` function: https://docs.rs/libc/latest/libc/fn.syscall.html . If I'm understanding correctly, it's this gen

Pulseaudio has been painless for like a decade and a half. Yes, it has a rough start and was probably made default in many distros before it ought to, but it's fine.

Yeah, there's a difference. One party spends a bunch of resources doing something illegal and extremely immoral. The other party spends little money doing something legal and morally neutral.

No, there's a reason there's a pretty large "buy European" movement in Europe right now and why I compared Yandex to the US white-house-adjacent Palantir.

Founder and CEO funded a Swedish far right party. They stood for roughly 72% of what that party took in. https://korben.info/en/mullvad-cofounder-funding-far-right.h... Mullvad has tried to paint it as, "this does

Yandex is especially tightly coupled to the Kremlin from what I've gathered. It seems less like supporting some American indie game development studio and more like supporting Palantir.

It's so disappointing to watch trmnl, a really interesting hardware product concept, transition into being just another AI company.

The proliferation of these posts with such obviously terrible argumentation almost has me believing that they're a psy-op from some malicious actor (such as a US agency) which doesn't want people to improve their security. I mea

It's a game of probabilities. Waiting longer means a higher probability that someone found something before you upgrade. Most of the attacks we have seen lately are from legitimate projects which got compromised. The maintainers of tho

No, they said the software quality is sub par. I generally agree: Steam isn't a great piece of software, but it works tolerably well and everything surrounding it makes it a better experience than any alternative I know of.

The gaming market is full of gambling. Steam has problems in that area but they're miles better than what Apple is doing. My impression of Steam is that it's a game delivery platform where some games sadly have gambling elements.

The Windows situation is way different: every process is supposed to link against kernel32.dll, that's the public interface to the kernel. In Linux, glibc is just one of many C stdlib implementations, you can have many versions of glib

... and the question was: "Why doesn't the kernel look at PATH" It's not a "shell construct" either, the standard execvp libc function looks at PATH.

"ld.so is tied to a version of glibc" is such a horrible GNUism.

All these window managers have a Turing complete configuration language, because you need to do things in response to events (keyboard hotkeys etc). It's just that for most of them, the "Turing completeness" happens through p

"Feature removals"? They're clearly bugs, I don't think they intentionally made the game crash.

Game mode also breaks background audio playback through Bluetooth. And it's hard to turn off with no global setting. I hate it.

I did read the article. As you say, it doesn't state why. That's why I asked if they had written about it elsewhere. You don't have to answer questions you don't know the answer to. Answering with incorrect LLM slop is b

Your suspicion is that they're going to discontinue Bedrock and replace the iOS and Android versions with Java? Even though iOS doesn't even allow Java with JIT?

They're previews of what they're working on and what they're going to add to the next version. You don't get auto updated to them, you have to select them in the launcher. As you would expect from the word "snapshot
