But it has directories and files inside, right? It's only the program that is used to browse is different. It's like you don't use explorer but regedit. It's the only difference. On macOS it's not like you can alway

macOS is in the way at all times. It's not even possible to disable SIP completely. Trying to run more than 2 macOS VMs at once? Nope, security risk! Password, password, password. Please enter your password in order to be able to write

How's registry different than ~/Library/Application Support?

Well I run Linux since 25 years, so if you're telling me that it's not "fit for purpose" then I question your ability to see purpose. Also I think you're cargo culting. You have problems with existence of systemd wh

It's not a good method, as well as approving tens of following security popups, entering System Settings, finding some entries, allowing something that the user doesn't even understand, entering passwords after each mouse click. M

TL;DR - We don't care about most open models. They are weak, and we don't care how they're used. We care about specifically Chinese models, because China distills our models. And that's real competition. So we want to ba

This one is pretty good, but it has one common flaw that other implementations have: lots of empty space between controls. Win95/98 was very efficient in this area. Too much empty space wastes the space.

Oh no, it tastes like Andrew Kelleys problem again! Forking an "embarassing project" is really something. Edit: Huh? Downvote explanations are welcome. I wrote only what Andrew Kelley wrote.

IDK, the menu is not that bad for a person that is outside the context and sees both menus for the first time. The photo is also not that bad -- of course it would be better to use real photos, I've no idea why they aren't doing t

Android (phones, tv boxes) doesn't respect DHCPv6 IA_NA, but it should respect DHCPv6 IA_PD. Unless you have some other system that doesn't respect DHCP? Linuxes, Windowses, Playstation 5's support DHCPv6 IA_NA without proble

In Poland, Play.pl sets up IPv6 by default. One phone call to ISP to disable the hidden firewall on their router gives us full IPv6 network transparency, no NATs are needed anymore. I highly recommend after installing a firewall appliance (

Police exists to enforce the policy set by legislations. Legislations define rules to protect "us" from harm, but police is for policing only. They do not protect people. They protect the law.

I don't buy the argumentation. Am I not allowed to say that hammer is just a tool and it matters how you use it? Because it makes all classic sculpture art meaningless? No it doesn't. The "car is just a tool" doesn'

It's not really about piracy in general, it's mostly about What.CD. Equivalent of what.cd today is RED. But, TBH, most of the pirated music today is on YouTube anyway.

Still DRM can revoke rights, depends on what form we download it as, but yeah, downloading locally is generally much better than keeping it "in the cloud" (which is just someone else's computer).

A bitter reminder for all of us that we don't own digital content at all.

To perform a stupid action is one thing. We all make mistakes. But to write about it publicly, manifesting our ignorance and lack of critical thinking skill? It's an entirely different matter.

And what is even the point of saying that Andrew dislikes how Jarred acts and works? Let's say the supervisor wants you to write a new microservice. Do you refuse to do it because the supervisor smokes cigarettes and you're an ant

It would be easier for you to argument that the user is expected to have discipline to NOT use "unsafe" keyword in all functions. Because a lot of mechanisms actually still have guards in runtime. And using .clone() on Rc/Arc

Very true. Rust prevents some good code as well. Also it doesn't guarantee that the code is always 100% correct. But I think this is the correct direction of programming language evolution.

I mean, there's an easier way of doing that than rewriting to another language, just make the repo private.

Yeah, but argumenting that "Bun codebase is a mess" is anti-Zig in itself. The whole point of the borrow checker is to make it impossible to write wrong code. If Zig accepts bad code, but assumes people will have self-discipline

by self_awareness 3mo ago
Ironically, the 'no hidden control flow' was one of the arguments against Zig in the recent Bun rewrite to Rust. https://bun.sh/blog/bun-in-rust So sometimes hidden control flow is needed.

moi2389 should research the market and create a new value, not replace someone else by providing the same value.

by self_awareness 3mo ago
Free and communal knowledge means you're easily replaceble by someone else. I wonder what communal answer you have for someone who would say, "moi2388, your work will be now done by moi2389. Thanks and good bye."

I think licensing will have to be re-invented, because now it's trivial to just say: claude, do a "clean-room implementation", so that noone can accuse me of stealing code. That's what LLM companies have done for years a

If you have a messy room, you don't throw a grenade in hopes that after explosion things will end up in "better" places than before.

Well, if people would prefer physical discs over digital distribution and would insist of having a proof of ownership, I guess Sony wouldn't have a choice but to prefer physical distribution. But since customers don't care, who el

It seems awesome, but I'm having a problem with figuring out how can a "normal" person use it. How would YOU use it, reader of this comment?
