    No mobile support. I get that a desktop UI framework doesn't want to target smartphones, but I think iPads (and bigger Android tablets) can cope well with more traditional desktop …

    Interested in this as well. I'm currenlty using Skia (through skia-safe) but I'd be quite open to try another renderer if there are performance improvments.

    Many countries do not legally permit the extradition of their own citizens. In Germany, extradition is generally only allowed to other EU countries, which meant the German governme…

    I don't know, I don't think there are many open-source third-party firmware implementations for these kinds of chipsets out there, so it seems pretty well obscured.

    I think often it's also a combination of what you described and big companies being super risk-averse. Why risk breaking regulations if you can just say no? Then again, lots of Wi-…

    > why not compile-time error for reading memory that hasn't been written? so... like Rust?

    To be fair, Git itself is a bit of a pain, and GitHub's main achievement is/was to make it somewhat bearable.

    The changes have been committed and pushed to a branch of the main (Apache-licensed) repo, with the clear intention of eventually being merged into the main branch. So it’s hard to…

    Ugh... I guess legally it's okay (as the whole code including the website seems to be Apache-licensed) but the optics are not great...

    Why does this feel like an LLM's attempt at satire?

    ...why? Seems pretty sensible to me?

    If I set up my own authoritative DNS servers, can I still use DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS?

    As someone who moved to the UK from abroad, it was crazy for me to see how unequal the UK is geographically. The main one is obviously the divide between London/everywhere else, bu…

    At least Edinburgh is brown. But seriously, my main problem with Aberdeen is psychological. It feels so far from everywhere else. In Glasgow and Edinburgh, you're much closer to th…

    There are certainly worse places, and the Shire is gorgeous. But it really doesn't help that it's so far from everwhere else (and I don't just mean London).

    There is so much wrong with this statement (which you disguised as a question), but let's start with the fact that the government does not want different research, but mainly less …

    Even worse, I live much further south :) I will say that Aberdeenshire is absolutely beautiful though.

    This is not at all how laws actually work. If you sell a product to customers in a specific country, you generally have to comply with local laws. You might be able to avoid this i…

    There is no absorption peak of water at 2.4GHz. Even worse, the absorption spectrum will change when it heats up.
