I assume the implication was an intercept facility.

Quite the opposite, people worked very, very hard to make Winamp even more non-standard via skinning.

It has been associated with 3D rendering, but given that things like the S3 86C911 are listed on the Wikipedia GPU page, saying "Accelerated GUIs don't need GPU" feels like attempting to win an argument by insisting on a term

Is that what's going on? So many touch gestures seem to rely on landing in the right 2mm diameter area, but the minimum reliable resolution for touch seems to be a 4mm diameter circle. It's even worse for my father, even though co

What does "GPU" mean here? Previous uses of the term seemed to imply "dedicated hardware for improving rendering performance" which the SVGA stuff would seem to fall squarely under.

Was it the same 1% that was using each of the long-tail features? I suspect that by refusing to invest effort in at least some amount of niche features, we essentially alienate _everybody_

"I think" is explicitly disclaiming authority. Omitting it changes the social signaling of the response significantly. Switching "wooden" for "a bit unnatural" also does a disservice: "wooden" describ

I would take things somewhat further: I'd be happy to pay the equivalent of $20 2015 dollars for this service if it were comprehensive. Unfortunately, that might allow for a consumer surplus to occur in the viewing experience and the m

Wouldn't browser prefetching subvert these small frictions to entry?

Also worth remembering that around 2010, the music and film industry associations of America were claiming entitlement to $50 billion dollars annually in piracy-related losses beyond what could be accounted for in direct lost revenue (which

"No security features should exist for anyone" is itself fanatically hyperbolic narrative. The primary reason this event has elicited such a reaction is because OnePlus has historically been perceived as one of the brands specific

At one point I could have sworn they were sticking obsoletion notices in the header, but now I can only find them in the right side-bar: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5245 I agree, that it would be much

For the audience: I had never heard of Brian Berletic previously. In an attempt to understand what this person's undisclosed conflicts of interest were, I found numerous reports of him painting the Myanmar Junta in a positive light: h

If the political environment gets bad enough, you may expect to die anyway, and the TTL difference that obfuscation provides means the difference between making a small improvement before the inevitable, or not.

I'm not an IETF process expert. Would this be worth filing errata against the original RFC in addition to their new proposed update? Also, what's the right mental framework behind deciding when to release a patch RFC vs obsoleting

I thought the Pentium Pro _was_ a 686? Wikipedia seems to correlate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Pro , as do discussions on CMOV: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4429563

It's not just that, current sentiment around the CFAA is that any kind of unsanctioned third-party user agent for anything that isn't the open web is potentially prosecutable. Plus, if the big user platforms decide they don't

Isn't it usually one bill, but an omnibus bill? My understanding is that the actual guard rail that the US congress has discarded is requiring that the contents of the bill be limited to the purview described by the bill's title.

I agree with the sentiment in general, but in this case it seems extremely well known: https://www.lpm.org/news/2025-11-11/mcconnell-paul-clash-ove...

At one point laptop wifi cards seemed to mostly be m.2 cards, which, while not usually trivial, were relatively feasible to swap out. Has that changed?

I hate that curl $SOMETHING | sh has become normalized. One does not _have_ to blindly pipe something to a shell. It's quite possible to pull the script in a manner that allows examination. That Homebrew also endorses this behaviour do

Has something changed that allows a more relaxed refcounting / less eager "gc"? Py_DECREF was what murdered any hope of performance back when we hooked up 3.3 to OMR... Well that and the complete opacity of everything impleme
