You shouldn't be allowed to have an internet connection if you're going to use it for unsandboxed agent slop with no access controls or human confirmation. This has nothing to do with hypothetical future AGI. It's the same ty

How did DOS era software handle this anyways? I can't imagine it would be fun to be a dvorak typist in the DOS era.

"Ozempic moment" seems like a manufactured buzzword in this context. A new modafinil variant is nothing like Ozempic. The thing that was actually interesting about Ozempic wasn't its windfall profits, it was the fact that it

This can happen, after all HDD firmware and the link is not flawless. But have you actually ruled out RAM/CPU as the primary cause? I'm skeptical.

...No? Faulty storage will almost always show up as I/O errors, modern storage generally doesn't want to send a block of data to the CPU if there is an error in it. If your bits are flipping, chances are it's RAM and not stor

Huh, I guess I assumed that based on the behavior of most of the experimental flags offered on world creation. Has that always been the case? I think mojang is taking a turn away from experimental feature flags these days, so I guess this s

GLFW itself is supposed to work, but there are areas of the API surface that Minecraft touches that have been a problem, so Minecraft hasn't been able to enable it. I believe the two major issues that cause crashes have been the way Mi

Not sure, but they were able to get Wayland support working out of the box in this update. Previously it required workarounds, and even with workarounds, new issues would pop up in a game of whack-a-mole, and nobody really cared because run

Minecraft essentially only uses GLFW (and now SDL3) to create the window and accept input. The game itself is essentially coded in raw OpenGL (and now vulkan).

They are explicitly a beta channel, and in fact if you create a world on a snapshot you don't have an upgrade path to future releases (unless you start hacking at your world files with an NBT editor). So most of the community ignores t

Not sure if uBlock Origin has a checkbox to turn off <noscript> globally, but since it is an ad blocker, you could just manually add a global filter on all <noscript> tags. Or you could rely on the community's filter lists

Indeed, <noscript> doesn't show just because the page didn't properly load the scripts in the page. It's not a fallback for errors, it's a fallback to serve users who deliberately disabled Javascript. This is a r

It is. Your ad blocker is removing it, so it doesn't trigger the error page.

For proprietary software, sure. But open source projects rarely ever work like this. Especially for a project like the kernel, there's no reasonable way to decide who out of thousands of interested parties should have access first. And

In this case, no insiders broke the embargo. It was reverse engineered from the patch by an unrelated third party and a proof of concept immediately came out of it. At that point, it's kinda fair game.
