It's only a build dependency to generate documentation with DocBook stylesheets.

From my experience, these issues are only relevant if you allow the execution of untrusted stylesheets which nobody would ever do. The only exception are browser vendors. A couple of years ago, I had the idea of funding libxslt development

So they claim that the damage caused by cybercrime is 8.7% of global GDP (around $115T)? This is hardly believable.

The EU Parliament is not democratically elected because votes from member states have a different weight. The election is free but not fair. It's also one of the few parliaments that can't propose laws on their own but can only ve

In the last years, many of the smaller German hosting companies were acquired by larger corporations. Netcup is owned by Anexia (Austria) now, Contabo was acquired by KKR (US), Hosteurope by Godaddy (US). If you're looking for hosting

The mythical German "Mittelstand" again. This word is absolutely meaningless. It has been used to describe small businesses, but also companies like Robert Bosch GmbH which has 400,000 employees. "Mittelstand" is nothing

Aren't these details are mostly irrelevant? Can you name one additional requirement introduced with TTDSG or TDDDG which wasn't covered by the GDPR already?

> Germany implemented the ePD[0] by replacing the TKG with the TDDDG in 2021. At that point, the GDPR was already in force. The GDPR is mostly a superset of the ePD, so I don't think the TDDDG lead to substantial changes.

xargs doesn't recursively invoke itself, so you don't have the problem that make has.

From his own Bandcamp page: "Author & Punisher is an industrial doom and drone metal, one man band". Every review I could find describes the music as "industrial metal". Maybe your definition is off?

I wouldn't consider a hash function that relies on 64-bit multiplication truly portable. Its performance will suffer considerably on a 32-bit system. Note that this applies to both Rapidhash and ChibiHash.

Casting function pointers like this can break Emscripten [1]. In libxml2, I fixed all these issues 7 years ago. It can be painful, but "it worked for 28 years" is not an excuse. [1] https://emscripten.org/docs&#x2F

There's also a lot of FreeBSD code in Apple OSes.

The problem is that libxml2's 20-year old HTML parser never supported HTML5 [1], leading to more and more problems with downstream consumers like lxml, PHP or Nokogiri. PHP recently switched to Lexbor [2] and Nokogiri to libgumbo [3].

This is the key paragraph: "The reason for this bunching up of values near 1.0 is down to the non linear perspective divide..."
