Right!? Just because several people have been unable to exploit this stack overflow in a week, doesn't prove the flaw is not exploitable.

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised Apple isn't switching to USB Type-C... but only in the EU.

> while Photopea is free-of-charge, it's not completely open source Quite the understatement. Photopea isn't open source at all.

A rather niche question: The blog says Turbopack is fast thanks to using Turbo, a library for incremental memoization. I wonder how Turbo tcompares to Salsa, the latter which was developed in tandem with rust-analyzer.

Ten or fifteen years ago, I remember trying to run a demo version of Maple V. This version of the app, maybe from 1995, was old enough to be in a.out format. Unfortunately I struggled to run it, because libc was in ELF format, not a.out. St

Eh, the King could always have moved his proclamations back, and pushed the funeral forward. Let's not pretend he's powerless. He's quite the opposite.

Quite. Proprietary source available projects are 'meh'. In the past few years, it seems several notable company-backed projects have switched from the Apache licence, to some proprietary licence. I'd much prefer if instead th

To be fair, it's been that way for a long time. VB6 (and VB5) compiled to machine code, unlike earlier versions which were criticised for interpreting bytecode ("P-code"). Now, VB required some runtime dlls, namely msvbvm60.d

As a VB6 fan I'm excited to have a couple credible looking alternatives finally crop up. Of course, there's the 80-20 rule, and history is littered with similar attempts.

I mean, yes, prepaying for delivery encourages people to buy more things from Amazon. But that's not anticompetitive. What's IMO anticompetitive is the vertical bundling of these unrelated services, especially because they're

It feels incredibly anticompetitive they were able to bundle Prime Video with Prime Delivery. Amazon have significant market power in online commerce, and for them to use that muscle into online video is ridiculous.

Similarly, the iconic Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland used to be repainted almost continuously. However, a decade ago they repainted it using more expensive paint, which should last two decades.

Quite. Of course not. That said, the tower was originally intended to be temporary, for twenty year. And con artist Victor Lustig sold the tower to scrap metal merchants—twice.

Yeah, people forget there are 'transformative use' exceptions to copyright law. Without such an exception, search engines would be illegal. Don't get me wrong, it's problematic when the model spits out moderately sized,

What’s frustrating is Visual Studio already has advantages over VS Code: the WinForms designers, XAML designers for WPF and WinUI. Microsoft don’t need to turn the VS Code C# plugin proprietary, to give Visual Studio an edge.

Are you sure about that? LLDB is primarily a native code debugger. For .NET you want to debug "managed" stack frames and variables.

This is a nonsense comment, but you probably know that. Northern Ireland was opposed to Brexit, and the Northern Ireland Protocol is supported by a majority of representatives in Northern Ireland. Nothing to do with the IRA.

All those. Plus, threatening peace and stability in Northern Ireland, first by pursuing a hard Brexit at all costs, and now by tearing up the Northern Ireland protocol.
