Even looking at the comments from that thread and the Codeberg page at that time in archive.org, I don't really see much that points to it as a proper GitHub alternative, other tha…

I have a similar opinion but I think Java's model with maven and friends hits the sweet spot: - Packages are always namespaced, so typosquating is harder - Registries like Sonatype…

Same. I was surprised that both Fira Code and Fira Mono were options, that was a bit cheeky.

> I work from home and value it but it never would occur to me to strike for that. I believe that the value from WFH varies a lot from person to person. If you were working from th…

Unrelated to the word "daemon", but related to the article, I was a bit surprised by this assertion: > Eventually, though, the theory of quantum mechanics showed why it wouldn't wo…

I recall Disk Knight ( https://www.lucadamico.dev/papers/malware_analysis/DiskKnigh... ) working on Windows XP I don't remember the whole details, but I believe it installed an aut…

This. I assume it's a similar argument as the one presented in https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/ Edit: I just noticed that this article is also writen in the archival…

> Seems like they didn't pursue it in future consoles I don't think this is entirely true. Sure, there was nothing like the Net Yaroze, but the PS2 came with Yabasic[1] on the demo…

> Why the heck not use AI when it's better? I think that, in its current iteration, it is not that easy to know. I haven't tried GPT 4 (which I've heard is much better), but my exp…

One of the issues I have with "languages that don't suck anymore" is that, even after the language gets all the cool new features, you'll still end up having to use some libraries …

I think you just need the Wohnungsgeberbestätigung from the landlord and fill the registration paperwork at the Bürgeramt (which, depending on your city, might be a bit hard to get…

> I tried using it for coding but it made up APIs constantly or had subtle errors. This has been my experience so far as well. I also find it very tiring to have to review all the …

It's interesting to see PornHub in there, but not the other Aylo (former MindGeek) properties (YouPorn, RedTube...). I wonder if they could in theory bypass the DSA by just breakin…

> That's not a good idea though. I wonder why you say that. At least an ad for a specific ad blocker sounds like a great idea. - Ideally, you don't send ads to users of your produc…

I was ondering about it as well, and it appears to be explained in detail here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c00B3uE5FV8 I think it's a similar technique to Sonic 3D's Intro FMV…

As a very casual Instagram user, I had a similar experience to the parent comment (not so much now). From what I can tell, this is the way Instagram recommendations treat cold star…

From what I can tell, this is the first version without a composite video output, correct? It's a bit of a shame. What are the alternatives for someone who needs a computer connect…

I think it's only popular in the scala ecosystem, but I find HOCON to be a pretty nice superset.

FWIW, you can now install PWA apps with Firefox. The implementation is not as polished as chrome, though.

> Also managing to have everyone on the same patch for $GAME could waste hours. This one hits close to home. IIRC, in some games it was not even that obvious that someone had a dif…
