I don't mind spinners except those ugly 5fps Microsoft "bullets" spinners that I find extremely annoying to watch.

Let's say you want to build a good, secure application. How do you know what files your application will try to open? What syscalls it wants to call? This almost looks like a hint to OpenBSD's pledge and unveil system calls. I&#

It's also the textbook from Stanford course AA228/CS238. Haven't taken it but definitely looks interesting. https://web.stanford.edu/class/aa228/cgi-bin/wp/

I think you can set it up to get pull notifications (like every 15 or 30 min), and then disable "battery optimisation" for the app (that is, set it to "no restriction"). In my experience (my wife's GrapheneOS phone)

Now if I can only find a "DECENT" VPS host that offers any bsd default install options looking at you scaleway ! I don't know if Vultr fits in "decent" but I've had no problem with them and they support direc

You know, there's information war on both sides, so all your assertions might have to be nuanced. And even if the facts are 100% true, it doesn't mean automatically that they want terror. They might just be helpless about it (do

My responses to him grew shorter, and I started to build a cocoon of politesse around myself. Inside it, my taste for life started to return. As more of the outside world came back into view, it got easier and easier to back farther and fa

Indeed thanks, although I understand they didn't make distinct groups according to status, which would have made results more convincing.

I do the exact same thing, randomly mixing right and wrong snippets. As a result I sometimes go through like 3 or 4 sets, but eventually it lets me in. Everyone join us !

I'm fond of OpenBSD, especially because of its clean design (user-facing at least, can't speak of internals).

The most important feature Tutanota lacks is offline usage, IMHO. You can't access your email if you have a poor or nonexistent connection.

Made me think of hiker nicknamed 'Mostly Harmless' whom I heard about here on HN some months ago. I saw he was eventually identified to Vance Rodriguez.

Thanks for this explanation. But yeah, I meant : are there applications where use of denormals vs. flush-to-zero is actually useful... ? If your variable will be nearing zero, and e.g. you use it as a divider, don't you need to handle

Do some applications actually use denormal floats ? I'm curious.

I'm well aware, but still not official (no artwork released for example)

Not yet as it seems.

Well yes, it's as simple as that. It doesn't look like you're innovating if you don't change version numbers.

Same here. I can also recommend : - Organic Maps which is cleaner than Osmand - KeepassDX for password management - AntennaPod for podcasts - I have a Tutanota email address. Their app is fully open source, downloadable on FDroid's mai

IIRC there was also a 1 second delay before reaction on the Uber car that crashed into a pedestrian. There must be quite a lot of false alarms to filter out...

I'm not sure you can say there is a "right" or a "wrong" take on history. Rather, different focus and interpretation.

That's because the Puy du Fou has a different take on French history than most mainstream views in France. Which I find refreshing. As a side note, I must say the park is a genuine wonder in itself, and I highly recommend it to anyone
