   Servers are a social event - that should be where the social norms apply. Different servers have different social norms. I should be able to use non-child-friendly language on a private server with adult friends (and friends of friends) wit

   Isn't combining letters in natural language the original purpose of ligatures?

   I don't know as Mono is any less native than .NET, they both have to JIT the program's IL, and the .NET APIs don't really expose much of anything that's platform-specific so there isn't really a "native" p

   Formal verification is basically mathematically proving the code does what you intend it to do - no third party auditors necessary. I'm not super familiar with it, but I've heard quite a bit about it in recent years.

   Agreed - maybe use it as a signal for potential fraud if this is requested in the first order for a new account or a new payment method, but it's useful functionality that shouldn't fall victim to fraud prevention

   I love how that site has become the de facto main introduction resource to audio compression - makes sense though!

   At some point it might be worth looking into Affinity Photo, it's a $55 (one-time, with free updates) cross-platform photo manipulation program with surprising feature parity with Photoshop.

   There isn't very much lock-in other than the domain names - Fandom wikis are all built on MediaWiki, and they have all of the MediaWiki export infrastructure (which exports everything about a page, including history) still intact last

    The actual audio fingerprinting/music identification project associated with MusicBrainz is AcoustID ( https://acoustid.org/ ). It's a separate project that happens to be well integrated with MusicBrainz.

    IMO Facetime is closer to being an app feature than being a phone feature - it isn't standardized, interoperable, or omnipresent the way phone calls and SMS are

    IIRC it's because GPU mining Monero is a difficult problem and existing GPU miners aren't very efficient, so CPU mining Monero produces more revenue than CPU mining other coins.

    My Ryzen 5 3600X (a years-old mid-range CPU) has 6 cores and 12 threads, I wouldn't say that's atypical.

    They're just normal OCI images, so they can be run by any OCI-compatible container runtime. You can build images from any system running Nix, though you might encounter trouble on non-Linux systems because you may need to cross-compile

    This isn't new news - in 2013 a part of the EAS was hacked to give a quite humorous (in my opinion) alert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw7dt0AhXXI

    Is this similar to Lumo ( https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo )? I would assume Lumo has a faster start time since it boots from a V8 snapshot, but otherwise I'd assume the two projects are similar (except that, of c

    They don't even contain a kernel - Docker containers use the host kernel. Container runtimes based on VMs like Firecracker's firecracker-containerd typically supply the kernel themselves.

    Almost all of them are, if you're willing to pay. Expect to pay on the order of $400-$800/month for a bare basic cabinet with minimal power/network in one of these facilities. You can put whatever you want in your cabinet, do

    I'm not sure! I would imagine it's planned though, scaling to that size seems important for a database product. I'm not on the D1 or R2 teams so I'm not intimately familiar with their products.
