Makes perfect sense . NaN is a special type indicating one can't reason about it normal way. It is an unknown or value that can't be represented. When comparing, think of it like comparing two bags of unknown amount of apples. One

Not a referral issue. Doing ctrl-click or middle-click or open-in-a-new-tab all are broken too. Most likely it is just a typical broken spa. Most web apps, are shut for the websites. They ignore and badly processes the url because things li

Last 3 years I traveled extensively and had limited and flakey bandwidth. You should have a low bandwidth setting that also uses new codecs. Like 64kbit stereo opus is to my ears almost imperceptible to CD audio. I think listening tests by

If it were on GOG, there would be no DRM or third party accounts required. With potential exception for online play. But most GOG games are single player offline games. Even online games would be more of the type where you run local server

The page works, earlier when I tried I got a login page. This page is good. Also awesome to see comparison to EnCodec , which I think is one of the better ones available : https://ai.honu.io/papers/encodec/samples.

Please, keep lossy compression. Web is unusable already with websites too big as it is. What should happen: websites/applications shouldn't recompress images if they already deliver good pixel bitrate. Websites/applicates sho

Aren't there two arguments for why this is bad? - db will generate new plans as necessary when row counts and values change. Putting in hints makes the plan rigid likely leading to headaches down the line. - as new Postgres comes out,

The problem is twofold: App developers want consistent look of their application across various OSes, be it Mac/Win/Linux. This means developing with gtk for linux and winUI for windows is out of the window. Why do app developers

Not entirely true either. If it thinks it has network but it's flakey, it won't translate offline, it will say there is network error and will give you a button to retry. No button to do offline. Additionally, in airplane mode it

That is something I wanted to know, does IPFS guarantee that same two files have same two IPFS URLs / hash links? Otherwise, someone sharing same data again, because it will be in different IPFS folder won't be actually discoverab

The question is what drives consistency. 80s 90s and early 2000s it was the OS. All apps running under a specific OS would look similar to each other. Behave same way. File menus looked same. Preferences was in same location. But somewhere

RAR supports both incremental and differential backups. If you make it solid archive and sort files by extensions and enable max compression with ppm, then these backups will be some of the most efficient possible.

TM Forum provides a bloated format. It has everything and a kitchen sink. This means that something simple like customer name can be written in multiple places, and different architects will recommend different location. Two different silos

The author doesn't explain the argument in detail, but he is trying to say: when you have "x * y = z" you can perform "x = z / y" ie: "2 * 3 = 6" therefore "2 = 6 / 3" But it breaks if
