Interesting. Seems like this isn't very consistently enforced, then.

Has this changed recently? I thought I heard about this several years ago, but the last 2-3 times I've visited (in the last couple of years) I've been able to pick up a prepaid SIM…

My partner (who isn't in tech, and isn't generally interested in tech) would probably literally stand in line for an updated version of the 12" MacBook on day one.

I don't know, but the problem with blocking esp4 and esp6 is that IPsec stops working, as I understand it.

That's my feeling on the endgame too, but it'll probably be a decade before we get anywhere near it.

I was actually working on this last week, funnily enough. I've been working on a capability analysis tool for Rust, and if you're already generating a call graph via static analysi…

Although, unfortunately, not all RustSec advisories include function-level vulnerability metadata in practice.

ai was also one of the ccTLDs that had an MX record for a long time, and I believe (although never had reason to confirm) actually used it. foo@ai tended to be a fun test case for …

As a non-American, I think the thing I'm hung up on in what you said is that I don't understand why a developed country should allow anyone to be "uninsured".

This sounds fairly close to SteamOS in terms of structure. (Which seems to work well for its own use case, so I can see the logic.)

Very pedantically, because PHP doesn't require copyright assignment, it would be (almost certainly) impossible to retroactively change the licence on older versions. However, since…

The standard supports a repository_url "qualifier" (query parameter)[0], which can be used to override whatever the default registry is (which, for Docker, is hub.docker.com[1]). […

The dog part is definitely key. We moved a few blocks — so within the same neighbourhood — shortly after getting our dog, and it was amazing how much more quickly we got to know ou…

I could also say the same, including the Wayland origin story. I'm pretty new to Niri — I only started playing with it about a month ago — but it's just absolutely that little bit …

Completely agreed. My Rust origin story wasn't about memory safety, fearless concurrency, a modern type system, or anything else like that. Not that I didn't care about those thing…

Expensify was a pretty well known case of this several years ago — their marketing was all about their advanced scanning technology, and it turned out they were using Mechanical Tu…

Yeah, I've always felt A Grand Don't Come For Free is actually the better album. Empty Cans literally made me cry the first time I heard it. The later stuff, though, and particular…

It's not a global toggle, but Asus definitely has options to make things more stock-Androidy — you can basically turn the Settings app back into something resembling the stock vers…

Agreed! I have a 2021 CX-5, and it's not just the infotainment controls (which are great, and work really well with Android Auto), but also just having real buttons — some with ind…

Same. I gradually learned Rust while I was working in a job where I wrote C on a day-to-day basis, and after a while I realised that Rust was making me a better C developer by forc…

Rust does have this: you can specify dependencies from other registries or Git repositories pretty easily. (See https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-depende... for …

I generally think it's fine to do this sort of thing for your own benefit and open a PR as long as you're really 100% fine with "no, I'm not interested in merging this" being the a…
