As a Dutchman, I’ve come to love German trains. The joy of a first class ICE seat to with table service as the empty middle of Germany swooshes by at 250km/h is hard to describe. Those trains are very good . Super comfortable, super f

> The quantization formula ppmtopgm uses is g = .299 r + .587 g + .114 b. Seriously. We can trust linux man pages to use the same 1-letter variable name for 2 different things in a tiny formula, can't we?

Does anyone on here know why it is that Unity doesn't just run on .NET? The cross-platform benefits of Mono have disappeared a decade ago or something like that. Like, why would Unity invest in hacks like il2cpp rather than just port o

This is not new in any way. Famously, Cisco has done this for decades, having been on a nonstop mad acquisition spree since the nineties, and more than once even acquiring companies that started as Cisco spin-out. Also many of Google’s fla

I mean it’s a realtime OS. It’s designed for that. So the pricing model has to work with that.

> QNX should be licensed like Unreal Engine. That sounds quite a bit harder to enforce for an OS designed to run inside, often not internet-connected, devices.

Concur. In fact I feel like it's painfully off-brand for Volvo to go all-in on touchscreens. They were so proud about inventing the 3-point safety belt that they embedded it into their logo for decades. Volvo has always been about safe

Appreciate it. Clearly (from other responses) I didnt even understand what I didn't understand and therefore phrased my question badly. This was the context I was missing.

I’ve gone through all the previous submission and I still don’t understand what this is about. I mean i can get bits and pieces from the comments but I miss the big picture. I’m neither American nor terminally online, so that might be why.

Nagle himself says (or said 10y ago) that the real culprit is delayed ACK: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10608356 I’m no expert by any means, but this makes sense to me. Plus, I can’t come up with many modern workloa

I don't think it's too late at all. I mean, there's recurring outrage whenever Mozilla does something silly again but all through that Firefox is still a fantastic browser. Don't under-value the many quieter parts of Moz

One key feature of Liquid is that you can safely run customer-written code on your servers without worrying about security. It's a very underpowered language by design. This means that it's rather easy to be confident that its san

For decades the West, and Germany in particular, tried to turn Russia from an enemy into a trading partner and eventually an ally. Naive, in hindsight? Sure thing. But that doesn’t change the fact that there’s absolutely no reason for Russi

Looking at all this as an outsider, I'm a bit baffled at the responses. Basically, it seems to me that the vast majority of Americans want this. And by "this" I mean that they want organizations to proactively make changes th

They’ll lose revenue in Australia. If more governments copy this move, they’ll lose revenue there too.

That’s a choice made by those services. They can change it.

lol turns out I misremember and it's "git stash --staged", the --cached parameter doesn't exist and my moist LLM hallucinated it. I've used Git for 15 years every day and I still don't know the basic commands.

by skrebbel 11mo ago
It wasn’t renamed. If it was renamed they’d have deprecated --cached and introduced a new flag with a proper name. Also why does “git restore --staged” exist if the term “staging area” isn’t from Git? And why does “git add -i” have the word
357.
by skrebbel 11mo ago
That’s totally the same thing, they’re about what to do with the staging area but using 2 words for it (index and cache). The third term is “staging area” or the flag --staged for other commands. Any sane tool uses one word for each concept

No software that has 3 names for the same thing (git stash —cached vs —keep-index wtf‽) deserves to be described as “the best ever written”
