I commented basically the same and also got down voted. Do people just down vote comments that make them sad?

by panzi 1y ago
Yeah, but even so people use that nonsense, not checking if anything is correct. I suspect not enough people would notice that Wikipedia is inaccessible, sadly.
153.
by panzi 1y ago
Problem is that all that most people want out of Wikipedia is ingested in LLMs and for unfathomable reasons people now go to those first already. So the general public might not even notice Wikipedia being inaccessible.

Weird. Also just tried it with v8 and it doesn't behave like I remember and also not like certain descriptions that I can find online. I remember it because I was so extremely flabbergasted when I found out about this behavior and it m

So they did change it! Good. I definitely had a crash like that a long time ago, and you can find multiple articles describing that behavior. It was existing for quite a time, so I didn't think that is something they would fix so I did

Unless it changed how NodeJS handles this you shouldn't use Promise.all(). Because if more than one promise rejects then the second rejection will emit a unhandledRejection event and per default that crashes your server. Use Promise.al

Personally I only really consider glibc as the system library of Linux ( ), and that supports both variants depending on compiler flags. Both functions are compiled into glibc, I guess the 32 bit one just wrapping the 64 bit one. However,

Several people pointed out pre-built binaries linking libraries they don't ship. Yeah that is a problem, I was only thinking of open source that can be easily recompiled. And AFAIK glibc provides both functions, you can chose which one
159.
by panzi 1y ago
The problem is not time_t. If that is used the switch to 64 bit is trivial. The problem is when devs used int for stupid reasons. Then all those instances have to be found and changed to time_t.

Most websites handle it just fine, for the advanced interface of Mastodon the screen could be even wider! For the rare website that doesn't handle 16:9 well I have this bookmarklet: javascript:var%20b=document.documentElement;b.style.w

People don't maximize their windows? I have a 16:9 4k monitor and I maximize everything (browser, IDE, image editor, terminal, mail client) except for the rare occasion when I need something viewed side by side (editor+browser, termina

Sometime between 2005 and 2012 I think. It definitely was for a stretch of time where Rails people said that.

Does Zig have closures? If yes, than at least in that case the IO pointer can be a bound parameter. For languages with the async keyword function coloring also applied to closures.

I see. Further I have used triggers to automatically populate log tables or aggregate statistics on write. Why do I need fast statistics? For API limits. Customers have N free operations per months and such, so I have to query that on every

Back when I used Rails the sentiment was: You don't need foreign keys, this is all handled by ActiveRecord.
167.
by panzi 1y ago
So what are your thoughts on constraints then? Foreign keys? Should that only be handled by the application, like Rails does (or did, haven't used in a long time).

Thank you and all the others that told me about different about:config settings! I use this now: widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled = false layout.css.scrollbar-width-thin.disabled = true widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style = 3 widge

Thanks a lot! This finally did what I want: widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style = 4 widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override = 20 Though I'm not sure if I maybe want: widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style = 3 widget.non-na

Stop making my scrollbar so impossible thin, Firefox!

There was such a confusing toggle at the ticket machines for the train here in Austria many years ago. It was for immediately validating your ticket, which is a potentially costly mistake. About the scroll bars: Also stop making them so thi

Didn't know it also does video. But accessibility tools don't just want video, they want APIs to read all text and other GUI structures directly. OCR is just too imprecise and a waste of resources.

by panzi 1y ago
Yeah, it baffles me how people don't realize that.

Doesn't writing to /dev/uinput require you to be root? That's way worse security wise than faking X11 inputs. Also you can't direct the inputs to a specific window. That is bound to create problems where events go t

How do accessibility tools work with that? They need to examine and control other running processes.

Open source is inherently political. I think it's anti-capitalist and I remember how pro-capitalist people called it communist back in the 90s/00s. Saying open source isn't political is almost like saying Star Trek isn't

Thank you. Weird that this isn't in the man page or --help message. Another font didn't fix anything anyway.

Nope, only garbage output: https://imgur.com/a/RVNitFh Is there a way to configure another terminal font? But it's not just the font, the terminal seems to also crash. At least it's not responsive anymore and
