Yeah I will admit I only tried Go for a few hours and hated it, so I don't have much experience with it.

What about Python? It doesn't yell at you for having unused variables which is nice for actually developing the software. My main gripe with Go is it doesn't seem geared toward figuring out new things, or letting people hack and e

The most insane thing about Python is how you can override single methods in classes and use the class like normal. One time I was working on getting FIFO working on Windows, and none of the Python built-ins were set up to handle any random

Not sure how true this is, but I've heard that Sony's PlayStation division is taking a hard hit from scalping, since they sell the consoles at a loss and scalpers don't buy games. So I wonder if this trend of selling consoles

Sure thing. The links are summarized research btw, you can get through them all in 2 minutes each. from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7771841/ "The challenge for modern vaccinology is to b

I got the vaccine with knowledge of the risks after researching it. The issue is a lot of people did not have knowledge of the risks since it was not in readily available places which caused widespread distrust in the vaccine.

Added source links to my post from links I pulled from Google Scholar. Not all are perfectly relevant but in terms of potential known but not discussed impacts I suggest [3] from February 2021 or [4] from January 2021 to have a look at whic

Realistically the risk is that everything surrounding the vaccine is and was extremely suspicious. I've never had a vaccine before where the nurse urged me to keep moving my arm for the remainder of the day. Realistically the clotting

Turns out being too lazy to clean up spider corpses after I killed them actually was like putting out heads on pikes as a warning to future spiders entering my home.

An epic thing you can do with PDF though is show an image of the font you want to show, and have a super common font like Helvetica hanging out behind it, so the end-user doesn't even need to render the font, it's just an image.

Chocolatey requires scans on _most_ uploads to the service. Under a certain threshold it only gives you a warning that says "this package had x detections". Here's FAR manager which for some reason has some hits on virustotal

It calls a series of open source tools that result in producing a pdf with text embedded behind an image overlay, where the image overlay is the original pdf. It was a while ago where I really looked into this but to name a few: ImageMagick

Cultivation of Cannabis Sativa with low THC is legal in 46 US states afaik with the 2018 farm bill. So you can say growing weed is legal in most places.

Thinking about it a bit, there are physical solutions EVGA/NVidia can take that don't rely on introducing DRM components into the software. One that comes to mind would be stamping a red embossed serial number into the plastic aro

I mean doesn't Microsoft already phone home a unique GUID identifying the hardware in your computer that it ties Windows key activations to? And since Microsoft owns Canonical, probably in Ubuntu as well (on the defaults)?

Yeah. I suppose this functionality isn't everyone's cup of tea. The cool thing about Wayland though is somehow it makes the windows still look crisp and good while making them the same size. With the canonical hack to xorg, they a

Try to set two different DPIs in that.

Basically: You have a Microsoft Surfacebook, Chromebook Pixel, or Macbook with retina display, let's say at 300 DPI, and you try to plug it into a monitor that is 70 DPI. The buffer will not be possible to adjust to properly handle bot

Well it doesn't rely on using a giant buffer for multiple monitors so it supports hidpi scaling. Have you ever tried hidpi on xorg? It's a mess, even on Ubuntu where they tried their best to clean it up. The xorg apps from the com
