In my own ranking of favourite programming languages C is at the first place. C++ comes in last. I personally hate it when people write C/C++ as if it's the very same thing. I'm quite sure there's more like me out there.

If they don't have to re-code half the app (new UI kit, not required features, etc.) then what does it matter if they are 10k unrelated commits behind? I like it's there as a choice for us who prefer the old-timey Audacity for som

I do not have one (and it's actually true.) And it's not easy. :-(

The proper way to cheat is to not leave a trace on the tracker where a tracker staff may or may not make correct judgement. It's called "ghost leeching." Basically you directly connect to known peers' IPs (e.g. from some

You mean that if I experience a call of nature with AROS I have to stop, dismount, and go behind a tree? :) (BTW, I had uptimes of many hundred days with a regularly used Amiga machine. So crashes were possible, but if you run only quality

"cross-platform" and Rust, as advertised in the current title/link label, is incompatible for sure. Can't get that to run on my older OS X machine nor my Amiga. :)

So I guess ram disks are deprecated too? (AFAIR hdiutil was the only way to create them)

Isn't the general separation between species that they no longer can cleanly interbreed (generate fertile offsprings)? I'm no biology expert though, but I always thought this is how to separate things. Humans of all kinds can bree

Would it have been different, if they had everyone take the cargo entrance?

No. No luck here with any form of settings (I generally use uBlock origin in hard mode by default). It always loads the 'Just a quick check -- We’re checking your connection to prevent automated abuse' page. Depending on my settin

I can't get past the Cloud<bleep> check. I guess the site/information is for G(r)eek elites only too.

Why did they put it under "dev/basic"?

That's the only advantage of CGNAT I can think of. :D (You still could get poked from the other users' hosts behind the ISP's NAT, of course.)

PNG supports both, palette based (for 8 bit and less), and just straight direct/true color (RGB or ARGB). (still different from JPEG's method, of course)

On average about 100 (TCP) requests hit my home router per minute doing various probing and scanning. Lots of checking for the telnet port obviously. Sometimes you can see a swarm of entirely different IPs scanning the full port range (prob

Goto (as in "Go to") and Goto (as in the romaji version of one of 後藤, 五藤, 五島, …) is simple two things that sound/look the same when written in ASCII w/o spaces. :)

`ansiweather` needs like ~6.28 MiB (measured with `/usr/bin/time -l` on OS X), but it's a bash script that invokes cURL, so there's certainly various overheads there too. One probably could get this down way below ~

Thanks! The original link gave me a 403 only.

I'm getting a "browser not supported" by the Cloudflare check. So I guess the "job is well done", and the user is lost.

I always found it odd that there's only one single origin of life point or even just a single common ancestor considered in history. Shouldn't entirely new life develop all the time on earth? I mean the ingredients and building bl

Different word, same stupid concept. Also it would be one human "species", not "race".

I personally also block access by web browsers to non-standard ports (aka not :80 or :443) via an app firewall (Little Snitch here). In this case it would have warned me when the compromised script would have called home to that endpoint on

I never really got into the 3D pinballs, for some reason those are less fun, maybe because visually they are harder to read? I always preferred the "2D" pinballs, with Pinball Dreams and Slam Tilt my two favourites. I still play t

Stupid question: wouldn't a simple comparison with the body(parts) from the inappropriate pictures sent to the girl have helped the innocent guy? I mean those thingies all look different, no, like some sort of "fingerprint"?

410 and a "Sec-Fetch-Mode:" string in the response body. I guess it thinks I'm a bot? Thanks! Nothing to read, nothing to see, I move along. (Yikes, the modern web sucks!)

A few really nice buttons there, indeed. :)

I may have missed one by looking at this huge dump, but NONE of the "buttons" I saw there actually looked/felt like a button. Something I can feel that I press it down and it gives proper visual feedback, like a little 3D eff
