As I understand it, Yuzu was backed by an actual company that they setup to process their "donations", and by getting donations you could get privileged access to new builds. So for Yuzu there was an legal entity making money off

I think it's more likely the original BeOS source code contains proprietary code licensed from third-parties, which means someone would have to spend significant effort on figuring out what can and cannot be released.

This looks great! As an engineer who has used Mixpanel at multiple companies it has always annoyed me that what you get for what you pay seems quite poor, so I'm very happy to see some alternatives. I'm also happy to note that you

I have an XPS 13 (the current Intel version, not the ARM version obviously) and they definitely have not. In fact, I've had the touchbar replaced 3 times and the whole computer replaced once because when the touchbar gets too hot, it s

Yeah, but it's the "mostly" and "I think" that will cause lawyers to start sweating and force someone to do a bigger and more expensive investigation.

It might not be a problem for DOS 4, but often the source code of software that was only ever meant to be published as closed source contains source code that was licensed from 3rd parties. This license may not allow publishing the source c

The EU is applying similar scrutiny to other social networks as well. Your comment reeks of whataboutism. If we need to apply the same scrutiny to everything at the same time we wouldn't be able to do anything at all.

AFAIK there's no "certifying body" that would be able to provide an external "certification". In any case Filip Skokan has essentially made a career out of building open source OAuth stuff, so even if it's a bi

Their about page ( https://rolldown.rs/about ) describes why they want to do this, but after reading it I'm still unsure why they can't accomplish their goals by adding features to esbuild? Maybe the project goals a

I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but in case you aren't, your iPhone won't let you directly address subpixels, so no. There's a whole subcategory of beautiful bugs caused by recursive algorithms going way farther t

That sounds like a clear GDPR violation, but I guess you are not in the EU?

Cloud providers (and everyone else) are unfortunately always downplaying their incidents though, so I don't trust that information. I have no idea about this particular case though since I'm not a GKE user. Would be interesting to

Good point. I'm pretty sure every example I've seen of this exercise has been worded more in line with what you suggested, as well.

Now I'm curious if it can handle the classic reading comprehension assignment I've been given multiple times in my life. You know, the one that goes something like this: 1. Read through all steps carefully. 2. Do X 3. Do Y (...) 9

I once discussed this with a coworker who had worked a lot on various things related to typesetting, and he claimed the main issue with doing good text justification for the web is the lack of good, free hyphenation dictionaries (or rules)

I'm Swedish, and I can confirm that all my Swedish cookbooks contain recipes for "pancakes", "crepes" and "American pancakes", which are definitely 3 different things, and a Swedish "pancake" is

I feel like you are hinting at one solution already. Security features are worthless without education. WhatsApp should give a "step by step guide" on what to do when the safety number changes, and they should block users from con

I've owned one. But that was a million years ago. It's somewhere between the size of a box of matches and my current phone, but that's a pretty big range. Edit: OK so maybe the reference of a gen 1 ipod is actually quite usef

Why not use the library? With tree shaking and/or direct imports you will ensure the same bundle size as if you just copied the file, and you don't have to worry about licenses etc. In fact, since other dependencies might depend o

For sites where there is a peak usage time, it's probably obvious what that peak usage time is. A news service (their example) presumably primarily serves a country or a region - then off-peak traffic times are likely at night. The Int

I don't know and I don't care about that faux prize. The Peace prize is handled by a special Norwegian committee in accordance with Nobel's wishes, so it has its own everything (including its own ceremony), while the other pr

As a Swede, I feel like I need to point out that this comment seems misinformed on so many levels: - the Nobel prize in medicine is not handed out by the Swedish government, so any dopey politics would not influence the Nobel prize. Rather,

by chucky 5y ago
The Nobel peace prize is handed out by a different committee compared to the other prizes, so how its handled should generally not be seen as an indicator for the other Nobel prizes.

What does it tell Mozilla that they need to know? Because I certainly don't understand, but I'm a happy Firefox user so obviously I'm not part of any exodus.

As someone in the fintech field, a $25 fee doesn't sound unlikely. The credit card companies love their fees, and every time I see them I'm amazed at just how high those fees get.
