Does this _need_ to be language specific, semantic and smart? Just a word-based diff would be so much better than a line-based diff.

Are there 2 things called fsync now? I had to ask google, because the article fails to explain it. Google says yes, this is something else than the fsync syscall (man 2 fsync).

Have medical researchers not heard of gitignore? Any hypothesis about the mechanism here?

Absolutely not. I wish everyone knew the difference between patents and copyright. You can download an open source HEVC codec, and use it for all they care according to their copyright. But! You also owe MPEG-LA 0.2 USD if you want to use i

Hi fellow Kate user. I agree.

Ah, much better source: iOS is the answer to where the vulnerability was – right in the headline. I could not find that by searching for the usual keywords in the original post.

What a 90s thing to do! Shrug! fast forward to the 2020s Is there an app for that? I don't know how to put a shortcut on the a desktop anymore.

I thought so, but that's what I came to the comment section to know ;-)

Setting a variable by split identifier is surprisingly common in CMake (because functions can't return a value): > set(${VAR}_VERSION ${VERSION}) This is the main reason I don't like CMake.

But not all governments, thankfully. Remember DVD-Jon? He won the trial for breaking DVD crypto, because consumer rights stood above trade secrets.

I see this as an attempt at a lesser evil, and I would support that (see my EME DRM comment), but I have one concern: Does this new "privacy preserving attribution" feature respect multi-account containers? Or is it somehow not co

Yes, that line is important. This has happened before. Remember the critique against Encrypted Media Extensions ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encrypted_Media_Extensions ): Oh no, DRM in the browser! But remember that w

Me too. I have a branch with some commits on top of git-revise where I implemented this config option: ~/.gitconfig [sequence] presentation-order-head-on-top = true Branch: https://github.com/anordal&#x

Why haven't more people heard of git revise? Unless you actually want to transplant your changes onto a new base, honestly, do yourself a favor and use this instead: https://github.com/mystor/git-revise Its inabil

The following heuristic has become increasingly true over the last couple of decades: If you have some kind of "charset" configuration anywhere, and it's not UTF-8, it's wrong. Python 2 was charset agnostic, so it always

I think you are onto it: Why don't we use a heavier hydrogen-bearing molecule that is actually possible to store as energy bearer? You mention natural gas; that's one option (CH3 = methane). Ammonia – NH3 – is another that's

I'm skeptical because C++ is a slippery slope. Glad to see they are going for templates and concepts, and not constructors and destructors. Yes, what C++ is supposedly good for – RAII, it actually got a little wrong: 1. Default constru

Interesting. I can't help but think of Git as a benchmark for these criteria: In my mind, Git is very guilty of 1-5, and any CLI would struggle with 6 (save for discoverability), but excels in 7-10. As such, good criteria: I think th

Do you totally disagree that this is the minimum? I'm only saying that the context is the minimum. I refuse to disagree with you about things I'm not saying.

I also want to slightly disagree, or rather state a minimum: The most important part of a commit message is the context. Good enough commit log: utils: Minor drivers: Fix assets: Update docs: Typo Hopeless commit log:

The irony is that most people who think they want an app would not see the difference between that and a shortcut to your webpage.

Whether you seek royalties or not, you only want to step on your own patents (or the participating parties, who can agree on licensing), not a patent troll (non-participating entity) whose biggest motivation is to sit on the fence until a d

Patents against standards: It's a failure of our society when it's near impossible to write a standard without stepping on someone's patent. When an open standard is patented, it is ruined.

France should have listened to GNU/Stallman: You can't have an antifeature in free software. If you try, someone is just going to comment it out.

Yes. I can't take the "untranslatable" claim for good fish when the article doesn't address this obvious objection: Any Norwegian or Danish reader can see that it's the same word as "koselig", likely even

Yes, field termination is mostly for permanent installations, but luckily, there are also proper "industrial" connectors that are field terminable. Such as Harting's PreLink M12 connector: https://www.youtube.com&#

On a general note, I think it's time to call things "text" instead of "ascii". Every time someone utters the word "ascii", they just mean text. Saying “I'm using ASCII” doesn't mean anything anym
