>Your designers want Sometimes, you need to tell the designers NO. Moving background images don't help people figure out what the weather is going to be.

People are no longer buying internet to use google, nor buying gas for cars? The others I understand, I'm cutting back on them too.

Depends on your financial situation, but $10 is nothing these days. That's the price of a bougie coffee, half the price of going out to eat, half the price of a movie ticket, or le…

Lua basically already has ternary operators anyway since "and" and "or" short circuit. I also don't see the need of adding additional syntax for it. local x = condition ? value_a :…

Interesting, thank you.

>TIMTOWTDI What on earth is this supposed to mean?

I cannot think of a legitimate purpose for residential proxies existing. They take advantage of people who don't understand what they're being asked to give "consent" to, and then …

This needs to be illegal.

It just turns the motion into fades of equal duration. Reason 352811 I will never own an iPhone.

>We're choosing a license that is usable by the entire community. What a weaselly way to put it. A GPL library, as I'm sure you know, is perfectly usable by anyone including jujuts…

There's a part of the .so ELF file (the Global Offset Table aka GOT) that has to be modified with all the addresses of the functions being imported, which of course vary from proce…

How do you think position independent code can call functions from other .so's without being patched with their addresses? They can't, so even PIC code still has to have a relocati…

Shared libraries (and mmapped files in general) are deduplicated; it's nowhere near as bad as you think. The kernel loads a .so into memory once and then maps that memory into ever…

I just don't get why an image format needs the ceremony from being an international standard accepted by governments. It's just an image format; governments shouldn't be involved i…

Does anyone know why the JPEG XL team went through ISO instead of publishing it themselves?

Seems "closed but royalty free" would be a more accurate description then.

Mostly off topic, but why is the spec for JPEG and JPEG XL paywalled? I wouldn't call them open standards if they're not available free-of-charge to the public.

As if there's no difference between harmful substances combined with lewd activity, and talking with people on a video game. https://metro.co.uk/2026/06/01/uk-considering-banning-k…

You don't HAVE to, but most of the big ones do.

This is false. Evaporative cooling systems consume significant amounts of water and do not reuse it. They can't anyway, recondensing the water would release all the heat they remov…

How are kids supposed to have a safe space "to be curious, build autonomy, and feel free" if they can't get out from the authoritarian hands of their parents or their government?

There's also a windows port of busybox if you want something more stable. w64devkit uses it. https://github.com/rmyorston/busybox-w32

AI said to do it.

I liked it. It has character.

So you'd switch USA for China, and still have a foreign dependency embedded into the very fabric of your society. Do you not see a problem with this?
