Materialistic[0] effectively does this (minus the screenshot part), not intentional I think (I belive it makes the webview as tall as the requested page and then uses the OS native…

I wonder who is behind this sudden push for these age verification laws. This wasn't an issue until recently and suddenly there are not just laws in California and Colorado, but al…

I quite dislike the defer syntax. IMO the cleanup attribute is the much nicer method of dealing with RAII in C.

> Static libraries have lots of game-changing advantages, but performance, security, and portability are the biggest ones. No idea how you come to that conclusion, as they are defi…

It looks like VVC (H.266) will be significantly better compared to HVEC and AV1. But due to the patent issues it'll bound to have, I suspect common usage will practically be nonexi…

Yes, as unsigned overflow is fine by default. AFAIK the issue was originally that there were still machines that used ones complement for describing negative integers instead of th…

They absolutely know about this, given that the seemingly reworked markers for this tablet have a redesigned nib holder that doesn't look like it breaks as easily as the old ones. …

Still, if you include transitive dependencies you end up with a total of 90 dependencies[0] which is unheard of in systems programming. This for some reason includes stuff like "wi…

I wonder how this behaves in combination with __attribute__((cleanup(...))). Especially if the to be cleaned variable is passed into the tail function as parameter.

Reminds me a lot of Emblem[0] [0]: https://apps.gnome.org/Emblem/

Obligatory Lunduke warning, but I feel like the main point of the article (that the project was led by someone without any qualifications in leading such a project) still stands.

The ESP is just a FAT-32 partition, so its capable of being up to 4GB (by default). At 4GB you can probably store most linux distributions on the ESP, so the title makes it less im…

You can usually with not having the initial part. As long as you do call the exit syscall, it should work.

No, this needs libfprint-tod[0], which is built do dlopen non-free reader libraries from manufacturers. [0]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/3v1n0/libfprint/

GLib also provides macros that use autocleanup.[0] Using a bunch of macro magic, they allow you to write `g_autoptr(GPtrArray) arr = ...` to automatically unref arr when the scipe …

Wouldn't it've been easier to compile mono for Windows 95 instead of spending countless hours debugging an ancient release of .net without any sort of debug symbols?

>> As a normal part of the just-in-time compile and execute cycle This means a workaround is running java with -Djava.compiler=NONE, no?

The thing I like about the Xcursor image format is that it so extremely simple[0]. Every semi-competent developer should be able to implement a parser/writer for the format in unde…
