There is a long history of compressors that replace the entropy coding layer of a codec with something else entirely. This is exactly it.

Likewise, stock market IPOs are a parody now - not means of getting financing, but dumping the paper on the retail after for the insiders and VCs to realize their gains.

Black rights really spooked republicans and they went for a long game, establishing own media and think tanks.

No, because in maps category, people demand no inconveniences or compromises at all. Often the same people, who put up with Linux distros' shenanigans, curiously.

Not even close. While water usage and ambient temperature rise might be overblown, noise pollution and electrical grid strain are very much real.

The Han unification probably was about fitting CJK into the 16 bits aka BMP. It was a blunder indeed.

The article is poorly worded. MyDr aka znanylekarz.pl is not mandated officially. It's what private practices use for appointments and medical records. What public hospitals mostly use is an on-prem version of GCM Clininet. There is ho

Same in Poland, sadly. Conservatives or rather "conservatives" can get away with way more...

Thank you for taking your time to squash another potential "urban legend" in the making. We've got enough of them already in tech.

Wait a sec. Apart from the fuse, those protective elements are all in parallel with the 5V rail and they would work as intended. The drawing order is irrelevant.

Rooibos was there on our shelves all along. Will this become another marketing psyop like matcha?

I'm curious to hear your opinion about the US/UK admissions system; in Poland it's all matura (like SAT) based; any additional activities and merits are purely checklist based and consitute mostly a tie-breaker. Additional fi

I love Proxmox. It's one of the few infrastructure tools that defy YAGNI and are almost always a good idea to have no matter how simple your setup is. It's a bummer you can't use this on Raspberry Pi, but then again, they are

I am not from the area but the deliberations about which messaging platform is kosher are an enormous time waste for every bottom-up organization, especially FOSS projects or hacker spaces.

We should really make a name for press and blogosphere legitimizing (by the virtue of mere coverage) all those silly trends that really just are a response to late-stage capitalism. "Analog bag" being the most recent example.

One of the only actual levers in society is interest rates and let me tell you, the current state does not favor those who just want to have a sustainable business.

I hate grading companies, they are a part of the retro industrial complex which made old consoles (ones that were manufactured in the millions, mind you!) and games so expensive. Old stuff should be sold at old stuff prices. Look at the New
