How do you think Google is able to track users? It's in part because of fools like you who puts their tracking script into the website. You're actively aiding this. You're not requ…

I don't think it's wise to use it for anything. Even when chatting with an LLM you would have to check everything yourself which nobody would truly do. The generated code can't be …

Thanks, it might be useful for macOS support of non-native widgets in my GUI library. I did some parsing but got stuck at some point. Seems a better choice to just parse the files …

Interestingly I've never used Visual Studio on Windows (only for a brief time for ARM based PDAs where I could experience the infamous MFC which was okay to me despite the hate). I…

I think the issues you're referring to are related to C++ ABI which is inherently incompatible between different compilers (and sometimes versions). This can be sometimes issue for…

But that's the point, I don't want the same style executable as Visual Studio. Having to distribute bunch of DLLs and having worse compatibility is pretty bad. A major part of the …

I wish open source projects would support MingW or at least not actively blocking it's usage. It's a good compiler that provides an excellent compatibility without the need of any …

I use MingW without any extra libs (no msys), it just uses the ancient msvcrt.dll that is present in all Windows versions, so my programs work even on Windows 2000. Additionally th…

Clearing of the secrets is a separate issue from memory allocation mechanism. It must be done all the way from the encryption layer to the program to avoid the leaks. This is typic…

You can do it with HW accelerated emulation like Apple did with M1 CPUs. They implemented x86 compatible behavior in HW so the emulation has very good performance. Another approach…

In my case, as a developer of a programming language that can compile to all supported platforms from any platform the signing (and notarization) is simply incompatible with the pr…

I would say quite a lot of users because even the previous simple method of right clicking wasn't that known even by power users. Lot of them just selected "allow applications from…

I solved it by putting a "How to install.rtf" file alongside the program. Another alternative would be to bundle this app: https://github.com/alienator88/Sentinel It allows to easi…

Try "killall -STOP photoanalysisd", this will pause the process instead of killing it (which would result in restarting it by launchd). You can unpause it by using "-CONT".

We've had a small amount (just 3) with plenty of space and it was fun to observe them, all sort of interesting behaviors. My favorite thing is them cooperating against a common ene…

Chickens are very intelligent, it just happens that most people ever see chickens in overcrowded small spaces where they behave idiotically. So would you if you would be in the sam…

That exists and it's called web apps. For native apps you need the exact opposite, access to everything otherwise it can't do the useful integrations and provide the best experienc…

Unfortunatelly DMA is the reason Google is doing this. It allowed Apple to require notarization for "security". Google is just copying the same approach as it's now clear what the …

It doesn't matter how hard it was to produce, it is still a derived work. Binary vs source code doesn't matter for copyright, it's just a different form of the same work. It matter…

> When my terminal was dark, the eg some docs in the browser were light, switching back and forth was quite painful. I do this all the time (even at night without lights) with no p…

MacOS can run unsigned apps with GateKeeper active, no need to disable it. Attempt to run the app, then go into security settings, scroll down and click on "Open anyway". And befor…

Game streaming services like GeForce Now, Xbox Live, Amazon Luna use PWAs for iOS/iPad support, used by a lot of ordinary users. They're not in AppStore because of incompatibility …

All software is full of security bugs, supported or not. While supported SW fixes known security bugs it also introduces new ones. Therefore it doesn't matter much, it's all vulner…

You can create PWA apps for free. The installation process is a bit hidden, you need to instruct users to "Add to homescreen" the app, but a popup with instructions will do. For mo…

That's normal in Linux. It's always about to get really good then everything is made crappy again, then slowly improving to get good but then the cycle repeats. I've lived through …
