Cherry picking isn't good faith.

Video games of yore were actual games you could buy and play with friends. You had a physical copy and never had to renew a subscription, watch ads, or pay anything extra to unlock…

I'm guessing it refers to this paper: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/... (wait what is that WordPress?)

3) electron, about:blank, 1.2GiB

Price per GiB is skewed by definition. 10 Years ago, 8GiB was enough and cost between $10 and $20. For the longest time this century, a cheap build was in the $250 to $350 range. N…

Let's keep in touch, I'm quite busy atm but am looking forward to meeting hn fellas.

Everything changes and yet nothing changes.

All those devs who were saying "ram is cheap" BTFO.

Oh how this brings back memories of finding all my cables all rolled up and tucked together as if a cable is a cable.

So how does one go about decompiling just about anything to (readable) sources? I've been living under a rock in case you were wondering.

I'd rather not go there. Too crowded, too busy, too much violence. I wouldn't mind a city, though. Is Zwolle an option? Edit: just saw your profile, sorry never mind ^^'

True that. Getting upset about pretty much anything is rarely useful. IDK who first theorized this, but usually people get upset when they don't fully understand the situation. The…

Two wrongs don't make a right. Corruption is fought best by not allowing it anywhere at all.

Raw packets? Legacy? Have you've ever talked to anything over a socket? You don't need a raw socket to get into trouble. You also don't need a "legacy" protocol.

I can't give a single FPS how much Moby Dicks per second a terminal emulator can handle!

Perhaps so, and that's a good development imho. However, the most notorious of all, HTTP, has not afaik. Different encodings have been suggested including UTF-8. I'm not entirely s…

The first networked computers predate unicode by several decades. Back then, the word length could be 8 but not neccesarily. All sorts of different encodings existed and a given co…

A local thrift store has been slapping Ubuntu on every computer for over a decade. The easiest part is you can just clone it from one computer to the next and it'll Just Work™.

It's pretty good imho. The obvious thing they tend to get wrong is the fonts and the way they're rendered.

MilkyTracker exists and that uses SDL too

Internet Messages have been ASCII since Internet Messages.

The NT kernel predates UTF8 by at least 3 years. It originally used UCS2, which covers the basic multilingual plane of the first unicode standard.

My gripe with new languages like this is that strings are always UTF-8 and that makes it needlessly difficult to parse HTTP headers correctly. This has led to vulnerabilities in th…

I care about people and my children and grandchildren in particular. Are you really implying common sense isn't what got us here so far? That common sense would get in the way of f…
