I think I remember discussing this briefly in #rust with you. It's clearly not the case that "everyone understands" how these package managers actually work, but I'd rather see the reality become more obvious than give u

The situation is unfortunate, but the grievance is legitimate. I regularly have to provide tech support to users when shell scripts fail with a terse "Permission denied" trying to invoke Python because the Windows Store launcher i

Your macro can expand to line!() or file!() calls as needed, which will reflect the call site.

It seems like in practice the biggest problem is "it got deleted", and everything else is about either preventing others from deleting your stuff or preventing yourself from deleting it out of laziness or frustration. Deploying a

To be pedantic, the Unicode standard disrecommends the use of a BOM in UTF-8-encoded documents rather than declaring it invalid.

Antialiasing (nominally) makes text easier to read. Motion blur makes everything it's applied to harder to see.

This is the case. With an addon that deletes most but not all homepage items or sidebar recommendations, YouTube does some noticeable spinning trying to fill the space which keeps getting emptied.

In this scenario you'd be losing all your backlogs and user registrations anyways, so why re-use the existing client with a stapled-on redirector over switching to something you can actually deploy yourself?

I've been meaning to write a proper blog post for a while, but in the meantime here is a gist with notes[1] and the code in context[2]. [1] https://gist.github.com/SpaceManiac/79a507858fbe3946a0c40e99... [2] http

I recently ported an early-2000s 2D game to WebAssembly and old Asyncify was too clunky and the Emterpreter was too slow to be useful. To get things working comfortably I ended up porting the game loops to use Clang's support for the C

MSYS2 has been distributing a native Windows port of bash for years; it's completely stable and works great (it's the one used in Git Bash). "Maturing quickly" refers to the reverse-Wine/integrated VM situation that

It's senseless to store files that don't have user-facing meaning in My Documents. I know games that use it varyingly for web caches, shader caches, binary config files, debug logs, Lua scripts, downloaded mods, and even executab

DVDs have region locking. The United States and Canada happen to be in the same region, and there are bypasses, but technical controls against importing digital goods are already normalized, and I doubt this analogy will convince policymake

I'd argue that it's the practice and not the principle of auto-updates which is unsound. Automatic security patches make a lot of sense in the current security climate, but once that infrastructure exists it is irresistible to use

The author means making compute time on the hardware available to run CI builds on their service. If you care about porting your software to RISC-V enough to want to test that software there, hardware is probably a more accurate harness tha

This is basically what Netflix used to be before the existing distributors realized they wanted in on the new action. The same pattern is playing out in games as well, though slower. Origin, Uplay, Battle.net, and most recently Epic are all

10 characters each is a depressingly low limit. Many usernames and project names exceed it with no problems. Imposing such a nonsensical sanction on someone for lighthearted fun also seems... odd, to say the least.

This is the big one. Glowstone was designed to be a native implementation of the Bukkit API (back when it was still on top), and I assure you that that API, and thereby every plugin built against it, makes some heavy single-threadedness ass
