The requirements for this seem strange. What is it about iOS 26.2 that makes it a minimum requirement?

Tangential, but what's up lately with anti -responsive design like this? Modern mobile browsers can render traditional sites just fine. It was the killer feature of the original iPhone. So I really fail to understand why you'd

I was really disappointed not to see any mention of Claude Shannon running barbed wire comms in rural Northern Michigan.

I have a parallel directory deduper that uses hard links and adopted this pattern exactly. By default it'll only tell you which files are identical between the two parallel directory structures. If you want it to actually replace the f

I don't have any experience in Article III criminal litigation but normally that wouldn't be possible. The appellate court cannot review something that isn't before it, and a conviction on other offenses does not bring counts

This is not accurate with respect to the federal ruling. The judge is not disputing the murder.* "Murder" refers to an offense under any number of legal provisions, most of them at the state level. Nearly everyone is at least pass

GTK4 is still pretty usable without libadwaita and all its Gnome-isms. But frankly I think forking and maintaining GTK3 is preferable to moving to EFL or Qt. GIMP is still on GTK3. MATE is still on GTK3. Inkscape is still on GTK3 (but GTK4

Why do you hope they abandon GTK? What would you have them replace it with?

No. We don't need to agree on anything. You. Are. Wrong. And you knew you were wrong when you posted it. Therac-25 was, as a matter of inarguable and objective historical fact, not programmed in C. Period. Your continued insistence o

The point is simple. Don't make false claims and don't post flame bait.

This comment strikes me as absurd. How exactly would you propose that something like that be done?

Please don't post flamebait or FUD here. The Therac-25 was not programmed in C.

This is both factually incorrect and philosophically unsound. Every asm or IR instruction is emitted by the compiler. It isn't a "doesn't say otherwise" kind of thing. Whatever the motivations are, the compiler and its a

UB doesn't mean there will be nasal demons. It means there can be nasal demons, if the implementation says so. It means the language standard does not define a behavior. POSIX can still define the behavior. The implementation can s

Yeah... but I wouldn't characterize the bug itself (in its essential form) as UB. Even if the implementation specified that the data would be indeterminate depending on what existed in that memory location previously, the bug would sti

by torstenvl 10mo ago
Your confusion is understandable. The way the terms "moral" and "ethical" are thrown around is sloppy in most vernacular. Generally, ethics refers to system-wide morality. E.g., I may feel that personal morality compels
