I'm sure you can find people ranting about how their "xxx_windows.go" files got silently ignored by go build. Just like every part of Go, everything ugly is hidden and "just works" until it can't, and major WTF

Haven't used Meson, but if you know a nice way to cross compile a project with generated source I'd like to know. More specifically, I'd like the following things happen: 1. Compile flatc with the host compiler since we have

I'm pretty sure when China banned Google & Facebook, it cited the reason as "not obeying local law" and "posing a national security threat".

At current point, around 0%. TikTok simply absorbed the idea and the users. By the way, according to your post history, I believe the following fact would be interesting for you: Musical.ly is a 100% Chinese app [1] with their HQ in Shangha

Maybe because it is inappropriate to use blocklist/allowlist in all cases, so to replace blacklist/whitelist people have to come up with a few different words (blocklist, badlist, denylist, etc) and apply them accordingly. It is c

That's not foolish. Modern lithography technology (and in general high-end semiconductor production) is complicated enough that neither US nor China may catch up in reasonable time, if they are targeting a domestic supply chain. That s

I see, you are right. Creating new rent-seeking chances is indeed an important piece. I'm more on the other incentive behind the action. I agree it might not be primary, but to apply this top-down there had to be something more.

Sorry, should have made my point more clear. VSCode made some unique design choices which enable them to support connecting to any Linux server, VM or not. In contrast, these design choices may not be possible for other IDEs. So, because WS

I've been a happy user of running a Linux VM (without X) besides Windows since 6 years ago (first VirtualBox, then Hyper-V after switching to Win10) :p Congrats to WSL2 team, they introduced this pattern to a much wider audience.

This has been changed. WSL 2 VM now runs a 9p file server, and on the Windows side it mounts to \\wsl$. Of course, the performance are degraded. It would certainly take longer for Intellij to index your project.

I recommend actually reading the specification before imagine how to abuse it. There is no fixed, per-user ID being broadcast. Or if you don't want to, a tl;dr is: 1. Your phone broadcasts a message via BLE every X milliseconds with a
