I agree in principle. NT IO is way more elegant than Linux IO, especially when it comes to AIO, and especially AIO to disk files. I don't agree with your examples though. I think NT has those flaws as well. Accidental handle reuse in N

MakeMKV seems to have processing keys dating from late 2018 (at time of writing) so, ignoring BD+, it should be able to decrypt every disc pressed before then.

From the perspective of a Windows user, GTK+ 3 does a less-good job of fitting in than Qt Widgets 5. Even with the win32 theme (GTK seems to use the Adwaita theme by default) GTK is missing shadows and the icon gutter in menus, and animatio

They probably can't remove it as long as they have Win32. Real Windows programs sometimes do things like fopen("con") or CreateFile("nul", ...) for the same reason a program might open /dev/null or /d

The most annoying aspect of HiDPI KDE for me is that Gwenview doesn't support it. It might appear to support HiDPI, but if you look closely, it always renders images with jumbo 2x2 pixels, even when downscaling. Okular used to have thi

The patent restrictions make Apache 2.0 less permissive (even if you think they're a good thing.) They cause practical problems, even for well-meaning free software developers, because they make the licence incompatible with GPLv2.0, w

char has another use. I've always figured char pointers were the proper way to provide byte-level access to other objects, since char pointers are allowed to alias other pointer types. That is, they're not bound by strict aliasing

For what it's worth, even Richard Stallman condones the use of proprietary software on a device you don't control, like an ATM or a supermarket payment kiosk. This is not the same thing as being forced to run proprietary software

Maybe the artists should care. The music industry is pretty consumer-hostile these days. Could you imagine if, twenty years ago, it was commonplace to sell CD or vinyl records that only worked on a specific brand of stereo. These days it&#x

Don't let that answer confuse you. It seems to be phrased in an intentionally confusing way, but it's really only talking about time zones. At midnight 1970-01-01 UTC, Los Angeles, North America, and roughly half of the world stil

I think the behaviour of cmd.exe is part of the problem here. When an interactive cmd.exe launches a console-subsystem app, it waits for the process to finish before showing the prompt again, but when it launches a GUI-subsystem app, cmd.ex

Nope, CreateFile and NtCreateFile are synchronous, only reading and writing are asynchronous.

The offline brotli compression tool uses maximum compression by default. The ngx_brotli module uses 6. I think that's reasonable. If you're compressing a file offline, you probably don't have big time constraints, so it makes

You can put a hash of your public key in the TLSA record (TLSA 3 1 1). Unlike the full certificate hash (TLSA 3 0 1,) the public key hash shouldn't change when your LE certs rollover. See: https://community.letsencrypt.org&#

That depends on who you ask. OpenGL is in the deprecated API section on MSDN[1]. Because of the ICD model, Microsoft can't prevent GPU vendors from adding OpenGL features, but they don't bother integrating it with modern Windows A

You quote it like this: parent_dir="$(basename "$dir")" Quotes are syntactic in bash, so it understands that the outer pair of quotes are surrounding the command substitution and the inner pair are inside it. Th

Yeah, I think it's safe to say most Linux and macOS systems don't have an editor as basic as Notepad (even ed has regex support!) The closest equivalent I can think of is Mousepad from Xfce. I don't really see the need for it

This is addressed in the article under "What if we make the hash slow?" You might be tempted to use salted hashes, but apparently this only works for protecting data that is supposed to be unpredictable, like passwords, and it&#x2

That issue is about supporting Vulkan on macOS via MoltenVK, but mpv already supports Vulkan on Windows and Linux. The problem that I think the parent post is referring to is that mpv 0.28.0, which introduced Vulkan support, also introduced

Like I said, stretching and centering. The justify-content property works on each row of a flexbox, so you can have a flexbox full of items with different initial sizes, automatically wrap the items that don't fit to multiple rows, and

You shouldn't be able to lose any committed work in git. If you botch a merge, you can reset to one of the merge parents and try it again. If you botch a "destructive" operation like a reset or a rebase, you can undo it using
