As I understand it, Yuzu was backed by an actual company that they setup to process their "donations", and by getting donations you could get privileged access to new builds. So fo…

I think it's more likely the original BeOS source code contains proprietary code licensed from third-parties, which means someone would have to spend significant effort on figuring…

This looks great! As an engineer who has used Mixpanel at multiple companies it has always annoyed me that what you get for what you pay seems quite poor, so I'm very happy to see …

I have an XPS 13 (the current Intel version, not the ARM version obviously) and they definitely have not. In fact, I've had the touchbar replaced 3 times and the whole computer rep…

Yeah, but it's the "mostly" and "I think" that will cause lawyers to start sweating and force someone to do a bigger and more expensive investigation.

It might not be a problem for DOS 4, but often the source code of software that was only ever meant to be published as closed source contains source code that was licensed from 3rd…

What is that even supposed to mean?

The EU is applying similar scrutiny to other social networks as well. Your comment reeks of whataboutism. If we need to apply the same scrutiny to everything at the same time we wo…

AFAIK there's no "certifying body" that would be able to provide an external "certification". In any case Filip Skokan has essentially made a career out of building open source OAu…

Their about page ( https://rolldown.rs/about ) describes why they want to do this, but after reading it I'm still unsure why they can't accomplish their goals by adding features to…

I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but in case you aren't, your iPhone won't let you directly address subpixels, so no. There's a whole subcategory of beautiful bugs caused by …

> This is a topic that is useful for many more situations than just the military. Fair enough, but that's not who funded your research (according to your own disclosure, the milita…

That sounds like a clear GDPR violation, but I guess you are not in the EU?

Cloud providers (and everyone else) are unfortunately always downplaying their incidents though, so I don't trust that information. I have no idea about this particular case though…

Good point. I'm pretty sure every example I've seen of this exercise has been worded more in line with what you suggested, as well.

Now I'm curious if it can handle the classic reading comprehension assignment I've been given multiple times in my life. You know, the one that goes something like this: 1. Read th…

I once discussed this with a coworker who had worked a lot on various things related to typesetting, and he claimed the main issue with doing good text justification for the web is…

I'm Swedish, and I can confirm that all my Swedish cookbooks contain recipes for "pancakes", "crepes" and "American pancakes", which are definitely 3 different things, and a Swedis…

> Did you ever need to do git rebase --continue over and over again just to get your own branch up to date? Not really. The secret is to rebase fairly often, at the very least dail…

> The state epidemiologist, Dr. Tengele, sorry, Dr. Tegnell Do you honestly expect anyone to take you seriously when you compare someone to a Nazi war criminal?

I feel like you are hinting at one solution already. Security features are worthless without education. WhatsApp should give a "step by step guide" on what to do when the safety nu…

I've owned one. But that was a million years ago. It's somewhere between the size of a box of matches and my current phone, but that's a pretty big range. Edit: OK so maybe the ref…

Ah yes. I'll just pull out my 1st gen iPod from my pocket for reference then!

Why not use the library? With tree shaking and/or direct imports you will ensure the same bundle size as if you just copied the file, and you don't have to worry about licenses etc…
