You seem to fundamentally misunderstand the mindset of these attackers. This can just be about a challenge or a show of capabilities on the side of the attacker. Telling them how big and strong you are will just trigger some of them to show

There's many reasons why X11 is not great today, like it's security model and it's hardware abstraction model. But it's been working for almost 4 decades, and its user experience has been improved for most of that time.

Multiple displays work on X11 by having one big canvas/virtual display, and having each monitor show the contents of a part of that canvas. There are some restrictions because of this. One is that per display scaling is unsupported in

Me neither, because I don't install apps which have ads :) I've never had much luck with system wide VPN-based ad blockers, and I don't have a rooted phone.

My 5 year old son got REALLY into this a few months back. He played up to the first boss and then had me take over. We had a lot of fun with it.

Shooting all your bolts (all uw pijlen verschieten) is still very commonly used. Knocking at a deaf man's door (aan dovemans deur kloppen) is still somewhat used, and variations like "for a deaf man's ears" (voor doveman

As a Flemish person, it's surprising to do how some of these still have variations in use today. And it's disappointing how little I can find about these in Dutch.

The new law also lowers the bar for Dutch law enforcement to obtain records from these taps significantly, removing the necessity of a judge to rule whether the request is justified in the investigation. Surely no law enforcement would over

It's very surprising to me that a main memory reference takes longer than sending 1K over a gigabit network.

But everyone in that space would immediately understand that STM64 are 64 bit designs from the same company, no? Still seems very strange to label 64-bit processors STM32...

The parent comment is referring to the US pressuring all European NATO members to abandon plans to acquire Saab or Dassault jets in favour of its own F35.

Exactly this. I was thinking of making a similar comment but you made it far better than I could. Number of binaries is kind of a meaningless metric, especially for a system that historically follows the UNIX philosphy of each program doing

I have been programming since I was 11 years old and I've been professionally programming in various languages and domains for roughly 15 years, yet I had to Google what a functor was. Your attack on systems programmers holding specifi

Rather good, once you get used to the key bindings. Language server integration is very good and I love how I can use it without any custom configuration.

TextAdept has been around for ages. It's a great lightweight editor. However, it is missing a lot of features I've grown used to in (arguably more baroque) editors like Emacs, Helix and VS Code. Mostly stuff that builds on LSP. Wh

I've always thought that a good model or theory predicts observations (like a new particle, or an unseen planet) and is confirmed to be accurate by those observations. A new model that is designed to fit existing observations that don&

I have 3 paid subscription services (Disney+, Prime and Netflix). But most of the time we just use Jellyfin. It's just better UX, even if it lacks polish. Stuff is in predictable places, in one app. I don't need to scroll past 2 f

This should be an option for the user then, like "Install" (as a PWA) or "Add bookmark to home screen" (as a browser tap). There's reasons to want either, but as a heavy user of PWAs for a few online services /

Nothing in and of itself, other than "why would you want to limit a community to Christian men?". It signals a particular worldview and set of values, most of which involve excluding or degrading others. Look around the webring. Y

Interesting read. After having read this post, I noticed the page had an old school webring footer, how nice! Clicking on it however, I was greeted by: > An invite-only discussion platform for Christian men. Christ is King! Jikes...

While the porting of NETBSD used to be a meme, these days there are far more embedded platforms supported by Linux in some fashion. Sadly not all on the mainline, but having worked in the embedded world, Linux is a massive part of that spac

With regards to the plastic bag surcharge, this is a policy that has largely worked in some parts of Europe as far as I can see. They charge typically 10c for a single use bag, and 30c for a reusable bag[0] (which is much heavier plastic in

Exactly. There's a reason these chips are always surrounding the processor (since the 2000s) and why we haven't seen GDDR based plugable memory modules. For this same reason (timing precision) you see that soldered DDR5 memory oft

Aldi products in Europe vary by country, so harder to compare. I'm also not sure if the prices vary within countries.

Once a week food runs are common in Europe as well, going out for breakfast is a fairly rare luxury. The difference is maybe that often times you can supplement your weekly food run with small trips to the corner store during the week.
