This is nice short-hand that I've wanted for a while. I do wish they would have made them overloads of the existing functions in the same namespace, rather than in a new ranges namespace. Oh well, you can always use that namespace, and

I wonder if this might be even more useful for ReactOS, which is still actively supporting 32-bit x86, while Windows 11 no longer does.

On the other hand, if China assumes control of Taiwan and TSMC with it, that need not have any impact on the rest of the world. Rather, it would provide a strong financial incentive not to push back as hard on China as we have on Russia.

My experience is that the conflict files (with <<<< ===== >>>>) that git generates do have all the trivial conflicts resolved. In fact, before I learned what the the magic-wand icon did, the IntelliJ merge conflict t

Yes, especially since the survey recommends sending a probe this time. I can be amused at that while still respecting the scientific value of the mission.

Oops, that second link is about another type of watermarking, not the anti-piracy kind. Unfortunately, I won't have time to dig up a more appropriate link today.

You are thinking about blatant watermarks on stock imagery and the like. Movies at the theater[1] and streaming videos[2] absolutely contain subtle visible watermarks even though you are paying to see them, which is directly analogous to ha

I think it would make sense for Etsy to spinoff a separate site for used / mass produced goods. While some of the reseller volume is sellers trying trick buyers into thinking the products are first-sale handmade goods, and others are s

Not everyone at Microsoft agrees with that stance, or they would have never created PowerShell.

Back in the HDD days, loading music metadata was far from instantaneous even with the metadata in the front. Putting it at the back would have doubled the time needed for the UI to update. Now, that SSDs are more ubiquitous though it might

In the schools I've attended it was mostly because they didn't want to weigh final exams too heavily (due to test anxiety), and putting too much weight on a final project doesn't scale well when every class you are taking doe

Feedback about what you can improve doesn't necessarily provide you any feedback about how well you are meeting expectations. This is especially true of writing and other work that doesn't have a right or wrong answer. There are a

Debian developers are not representatives. They were not elected, and they are not representing anyone's opinion other than their own. The elected positions in Debian are mostly administrative and any decision requiring voting goes to

I like the binfmt_misc suggestion in the LWN comments. The fact that I could just run a jar file like it was an executable made me unreasonably happy when I first learned about it. It was one of those things (like X11 being network transpar

I think GM is doing a pretty good job. Super Cruise is one of the better driver assist technologies on the market today. And Cruise (unrelated despite the name) is second only to Waymo in full self-driving technology. Mary Barra has stated

I haven't read the trial court ruling, but the appeals court ruling doesn't support OSI controlling the term. Rather, since both the plaintiff and the defendant agreed that AGPL + Common Cause was not a free or open source license

Yeah, in fact these days I often avoid series altogether, even if they are finished, because I know once I start it I'll want to finish, and thus choosing to read a series means choosing not to read a half dozen standalone books. Those

This article makes me very curious about what the author considers an existential question. I don't disagree with the content of the article, but the title is throwing me. None of the examples he gave of unproductive things to say are

I need to give uBlock another try. I use and love uMatrix, and was hoping someone would step up to maintain a fork of it, but six months later it is apparent that will not be the case (and is far outside my expertise). For some reason uBloc

I suspect these numbers have large error bars, making a top 10 list pretty meaningless. First off, if you look at the same report from last year (first link in article), only a single car model shows up in both lists. There is no reason to

Agreed. There are already tons of laws on the books that prohibit "knowingly and intentionally" contributing to a crime. If simply being aware that a service you provide could in general be used to commit a crime, and likely was b

I disagree with these sort of bans on speech as well, and it has never been because I naively believe that the speech is harmless. It is because I believe that granting the government the authority to pick and choose which speech is harmful

I strongly disagree with these punishment options. On one hand jail is overkill for the majority of cases. We as a country jail too many people as it is, and correctly assigning prison sentences to the appropriate person when crimes are com
