Not that I defend all of Valve’s business practices, but last I heard, you’re only prevented from sell games cheaper on other platforms if the thing you’re selling is Steam keys. A…

> 6. People who realize the game theory optimal strategy is to announce you're pressing blue and convince everyone else to press blue, but privately press red. A lot of this analys…

I think this conflates two different eras/layers. NT 4 famously moved the window manager/GDI/graphics subsystem into kernel mode, so that’s probably the “opposite direction” histor…

No, but they chose to include it. Presumably there were a lot less apt references they chose not to include.

There's a link at the top of the README to https://0x00eb.itch.io/tux-racer where you can play it without needing to host it yourself.

I'm not sure this is old enough, but could you be referencing https://neal.fun/infinite-craft/ from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39205020 ?

> Each request will hit a new random worker, but your response is supposed to go on some other long-running SSE stream. It seems your knowledge is a little out of date. The big dif…

That github issue is closed because it's been mostly completed. As of https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol... , the latest draft specification does not requ…

It really depends on if you're dealing with an async stream or a single async result as the input to the next function. If a is an access token needed to access resource b, you can…

It probably depends on your lists. My uBlock Origin config had a global CSS rule blocking any elements with a #mc_embed_signup id.

Can you provide a citation for this? I’ve read older RFCs that "recommend" recipients allow single LFs to terminate headers for robustness. I’ve also read newer RFCs that weaken th…

> I'm hoping this is satire. Me too. It's one thing to accept single LFs in protocols that expect CRLF, but sending single LFs is a bridge to far in my opinion. I'm really surprise…

You need to resize the output grid to 6x6.

AFAIK, all Linux distros plus Windows and macOS have TCP keepalives off by default as mandated by the RFC 1122. Even when they are optionally turned on using SO_KEEPALIVE, the inte…

ASP.NET Core can easily route "/hello" to HelloController.Index(), but it's not exactly automatic. The controller library adds routes to the routing middleware in a call to MapCont…

The iframe's sandbox attribute is doing a lot of work. I tried to change the parent window location to remove the footer, but the sandbox thwarted me since it didn't include "allow…

The lack of server ALPN support on macOS is probably the extra friction you're referring to. This made accepting HTTP/2 connections with TLS impossible. Fortunately, support will b…

They claimed they did support price caps the HN launch thread referenced in this new press release. They got a lot of praise for it in the comments back then. > Max monthly spend: …

`git reset HEAD~` doesn't feel like that much of a contortion to me. It's the destructive change that requires more contortion (`--hard`) which feels fair. Maybe this is stockholm …

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, with turn-based rotation units, this relationship can be simplified to avoid transcendental numbers entirely: > (-1)^(2x) = cos(x) + i sin(x)…
