I did self-learned programming on an PET with the half-sized keyboard and cassette deck at highschool starting 1980. After 3 weeks or so I had filled the 7 KB of memory and needed to optimize GOTO commands by rearrangign the code. Every dig

Technically the difference is clear. Return is for character based protocols, teletypes, ttys, VT100, ssh and the like. Enter is for IBM 3278 style where a "screenful" or form of inputs is buffered by the terminal and sent as a wh

Completely useless corporate speech. The whole text contains zero more information than the headline. I would have expected at least some information what are the false claims.

I have used Cookie Auto delete for years. Last time I checked development seemed to have stalled.

Intel and Nokia partnered around 2007 .. 09 to introduce x86 phone SoCs and the required software stack. Remember MeeGo? Nokia engineers were horrified by the power consumption and were convinced it wouldn't work. But Nokia management

I used it as my first phone some 10 years. I type this message on one. I like their perseverance, but the truth is it's declining in practical usability. Edit: In EU, so (lack of) bands are not an issue for me.

Of course I made it up, I assumed TLA is known as three letter acronym. Now ghcr has four of them...

Unpopulated is static, no change implied. Depopulated implies change, people used to live there. For me it meant no significant number left.

Not zero, but an only insignificant residual because zero is hard to achieve in real life. Also Pripyat has some illegal inhabitants. (I don't think debugged software is a commonly used term, so no need to discuss the meaning) Edit: Ge

Sure, I see why as a company you don't want user data in your domain. But if the different domain name gives good protection / isolation, why does Google still use completely different domains for different services with content c

Depopulated sounds like nobody is living there, something like Pripyat. This town is said to have lost over 50% of its former 53,000 so still over 25,000 left. And apartments in GDR were rather small. Not a native speaker, but is depopulate

Not a web programmer, so know cross-domain only for hearsay :( It does not seem to hinder e.g. Google using google.com, youtube.com, gmail.com, and several (many?) others to collect your data. Do you say security and privacy work differentl

One reason why you should never think or say ghcr, but always github container register, even if that is longer. You should have enough time for not getting trapped. Root cause a stupid FLA of course. For several months I thought it means G

I wrote my own init system in C from scratch some 13 years ago. It was more work than anticipated by myself and the manager who approved it. It served the purpose to bring up a Linux GUI and some backend for it on not so capable hardware in

Technically I have no big doubts about S3 Glacier. But what happens if you don't use that stuff for a long time. You are in hospital when the bill needs to get paid. Your credit card gets stolen and the number needs to changed. Whateve

How does their auditing even work? Auditing should happen at kernel level, I sure hope they don't have Copilot in their kernel. So how can any access go unaudited? Well, the article did not say whether the unaudited access was possible

No problem for x. Not for y either. Why would anybody open a bug report? (Even/odd confusion of number of negations maybe:) ) I guess it became clear from other comments that disabling JavaScript causes the problem. An experimental fix

In my previous work we were strict about typos, whitespace and general consistency in reviews. And even fixed them later if they slipped through. I found it a bit ridicolous a times. In my current company nobody cares. It can be seen in the

Pick one of the open source forges that takes MRs (not using the giant's terminology, hardly ever calling git pull either...) and contribute your ideas. That said, it's a bit like QWERTY. Maybe a bit weird, but it eases quick orie

I don't know for sure. I am pretty sure I did not learn it in school. I read German press daily from the 1970s to the 1990s, less frequently thereafter. So I guess that's the origin. I have never been interested in linguistics as

Didn't follow how Github not supporting IPv6 is caused by the "wrong" byte size. Wouldn't 36 bit IP adresses have made that a non-topic? The author seems to assume Github! is a leader. The masses in IT never have follo
