Mullvad also states that it disabled the Firefox password storage feature, because it's supposedly insecure. But the articles supporting this view (i read) seem to be written by third-party password storage friends. Their arguments are

I never merge changes. I run my unison with `-batch -prefer newer`, so I never get queried. In the very, very rare case (like maybe once every few years), where I feel I lost a file to unison, I have to retrieve a backup. It would assume th

I use the git log to feed my changelog. I prefix the stuff that's supposed to go in the release notes with a asterix and the technical boring stuff is just a normal line. Then at release time I have a script that pulls the asterix pref

The author thinks the Telecaster is very hard to improve on. But the bridge design is ergonomically and technically really bad. There are small screws pointing out towards the strumming hand, just waiting to draw blood. And the intonation i

Well I just tried Painter 11 and the installer hang. Tried Amazon Games and the installer crashed. So I guess I will wait for 8 and try again.

Is it possible to run Corel Painter on Linux with a recent version of Wine ? The database says "Garbage" https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=applicatio... , but the versions don't seem up to date

There are a lot of neat ideas in the code how to make bash scripts more readable. Good project.

If I look at my bottle caps here in Germany, my 0.7l "soda" water bottles, don't have gaps. The Coca Cola glass 0.5l bottles don't have gaps either. Club Mate 0.5l doesn't have gaps. Only the Sprite bottle 1l has g

This may not work on a filesystem with compression. That empty file might only take up a block, even though its size is 8 GB.

I was really looking forward to Wayland, when I moved to Linux. It was then said to be right around the corner. That was six years ago. If the current state of Wayland is as bare-bones as depicted in the article, it's just sad. And as

The solution is to recompile, which you have to do with such ABI changes, since the dawn of time.

There is probably nothing wrong with it. But booting up a VM is quick and convenient, whereas for example searching through the bitsavers archive for the right ROM images isn't, just for one thing.

It would be cool to have a LISP Machine VM that you could boot up. Does something like that exist ?

With builtin non-removable batteries, companies should be forced to put an expiration date on the package just like on milk. Good for use until 2024.

How do you feel qualified to critique someone else's C code, even publicly on Hacker News ? You seem to have basic problems with understanding how a macro (in this case forEachObject) works.

My impression of the gold market is this: The gold bugs always say, that now is the right time to buy. It rarely is though. That's because issuers and supporters of fiat currency have an interest in the gold price not exploding, becaus

With the help of your comments, I could now write the conclusion to my article. In a nutshell this is the solution: #include <math.h> #include <fenv.h> int fits_long( double d) { long l_val;

That would allow a double with a fractional part to return true though, which is not the intention. If you do this before the casted comparison, the cast shouldn't produce an undefined value. I think this is a good solution without usi

That's true. I am using memory sanitizers in my workflow, but I haven't been using the `undefined` sanitizer. This could have saved me a day worth of effort.

An absolute path is a valid path on the filesystem. But the compiler should be searching according to its implementation dependent search paths, when doing <>. Not prepending the searchpath (and not rejecting) for absolute paths is an

Why would '/' ever be in the searchpath of the compiler ? This looks like a preprocessor bug to me.

As this is HN: Wittgenstein was the guy who invented truth tables. He is my personal favorite philosopher along with Quine. Wittgenstein is IMO underappreciated. First he kind of described what is possible with philosophy with regard to the
