I'm not struggling because I don't really need nor want to understand that. The fact that you want to run macos-specific software doesn't affect me at all, and has nothing to do wi…

But it has directories and files inside, right? It's only the program that is used to browse is different. It's like you don't use explorer but regedit. It's the only difference. O…

macOS is in the way at all times. It's not even possible to disable SIP completely. Trying to run more than 2 macOS VMs at once? Nope, security risk! Password, password, password. …

How's registry different than ~/Library/Application Support?

Well I run Linux since 25 years, so if you're telling me that it's not "fit for purpose" then I question your ability to see purpose. Also I think you're cargo culting. You have pr…

It's not a good method, as well as approving tens of following security popups, entering System Settings, finding some entries, allowing something that the user doesn't even unders…

TL;DR - We don't care about most open models. They are weak, and we don't care how they're used. We care about specifically Chinese models, because China distills our models. And t…

This one is pretty good, but it has one common flaw that other implementations have: lots of empty space between controls. Win95/98 was very efficient in this area. Too much empty …

Oh no, it tastes like Andrew Kelleys problem again! Forking an "embarassing project" is really something. Edit: Huh? Downvote explanations are welcome. I wrote only what Andrew Kel…

IDK, the menu is not that bad for a person that is outside the context and sees both menus for the first time. The photo is also not that bad -- of course it would be better to use…

You make your own pigments? I hope you didn't re-use already existing atoms for that

Android (phones, tv boxes) doesn't respect DHCPv6 IA_NA, but it should respect DHCPv6 IA_PD. Unless you have some other system that doesn't respect DHCP? Linuxes, Windowses, Playst…

In Poland, Play.pl sets up IPv6 by default. One phone call to ISP to disable the hidden firewall on their router gives us full IPv6 network transparency, no NATs are needed anymore…

Police exists to enforce the policy set by legislations. Legislations define rules to protect "us" from harm, but police is for policing only. They do not protect people. They prot…

I don't buy the argumentation. Am I not allowed to say that hammer is just a tool and it matters how you use it? Because it makes all classic sculpture art meaningless? No it doesn…

It's not really about piracy in general, it's mostly about What.CD. Equivalent of what.cd today is RED. But, TBH, most of the pirated music today is on YouTube anyway.

Still DRM can revoke rights, depends on what form we download it as, but yeah, downloading locally is generally much better than keeping it "in the cloud" (which is just someone el…

A bitter reminder for all of us that we don't own digital content at all.

To perform a stupid action is one thing. We all make mistakes. But to write about it publicly, manifesting our ignorance and lack of critical thinking skill? It's an entirely diffe…

And what is even the point of saying that Andrew dislikes how Jarred acts and works? Let's say the supervisor wants you to write a new microservice. Do you refuse to do it because …

It would be easier for you to argument that the user is expected to have discipline to NOT use "unsafe" keyword in all functions. Because a lot of mechanisms actually still have gu…

Very true. Rust prevents some good code as well. Also it doesn't guarantee that the code is always 100% correct. But I think this is the correct direction of programming language e…

I mean, there's an easier way of doing that than rewriting to another language, just make the repo private.

Yeah, but argumenting that "Bun codebase is a mess" is anti-Zig in itself. The whole point of the borrow checker is to make it impossible to write wrong code. If Zig accepts bad co…

Ironically, the 'no hidden control flow' was one of the arguments against Zig in the recent Bun rewrite to Rust. https://bun.sh/blog/bun-in-rust So sometimes hidden control flow is…
