The internet doesn't need to be the cloud. Security cameras are the classic example of widespread self hosted but internet-accessible. Even the ones that have proprietary apps are …

If the time comes to discuss operating systems, I always suggest an exercise of downloading a Windows 11 Home ISO and installing it into a virtual machine, look at how much of it i…

You would assume wrong, many (asshat) employers require them, so much that I actually have to screen that kind of sillyness when interviewing. Works a treat to filter out toxic wor…

And to spell it out: - Stylesheet encoded as base64 in the Link header; - Browsers always implicitly have at least the html and body tags; - CSS cannot create new elements, but it …

- Endpoint monitoring software may compromise more than it strictly needs to; - If you're a contractor, risk of leaking other clients' assets (running `tree` in the wrong folder wh…

The `field` keyword also already existed in C#, to add attributes to the backing field of automatic properties, so I think the argument was easier there. I used it in Unity project…

I think the issue with a very long line is akin to writing without punctuation because code is usually much more information dense than prose it becomes hard to follow what it is s…

Yeah, I've had to explain that a couple times already, usually when dealing with customer support or in-person registrations. And a "malicious" actor can get away with pretending t…

Not just CSS, it's used to set parameters but looks like the actual rendering is done in a element controlled by JS.

Yeah I don't think I ever saw one either, but at least over here you can bring it over to a counter, or request an employee to turn it on and test. Obviously not viable for evaluat…

That's exactly the advantage of sneakernet shopping, you can ask to see the product in operation.

Did you happen to have used uBlock Origin during your stay? It's the most common source of browser-load latency, as it by default blocks the main page request until it is able to l…

For e-mail addresses as an authentication tool, you don't really need to be able to send emails at all, just receive them, and I think that is pretty feasible to not run afoul of t…

My favourite feature of this video is that he uses the "Network Block Device Kit" to make a kit of 3 drives, each using one of those words as the main point: "Network" storage, "Bl…

It is a popular design convention, there are even generators to convert regular screenshots into this angled and depth-of-field style. There are 2 important properties this convent…

Canvas would still be faster even if you used a full-screen box. Just the string concatenation overhead of doing this with box-shadows is insanely wasteful. Which isn't to demerit …

What does MCAD stand for? Is it a different version from regular SolveSpace, or are you just describing what it is?

How do we add more colours (besides just picking a random colour, which wouldn't be helpful)? By sampling the signal more often ("multi-sample anti aliasing"), also known as increa…

These are the same thing. A shape with a solid boundary is a a signal with a discontinuous step: If you Fourier it, it has infinite nonzero terms, therefore you can't represent it …

Sure it is, it's the first thing to be said just after the title and widgets > This article is about aliasing in signal processing, including computer graphics. In computer graphic…

I don't think "unresolved variable" is listed as an actual error in plain JS in WebStorm? At least by default. In any case, like any inspection, you can adjust its severity to what…

Not really at all, the type checker understands it is a field reference (it's just an alternative syntax after all, it is absolutely 0% difference in behaviour. However, it's a com…

Can reproduce. Almost like it's intentional...
