They used to let you sort subscriptions into "Collections", but they removed this feature in 2015. I remember they teased they might bring it back in 2021, but I haven't seen much come of it. [1] [1] https://www.yo

I love the little part with the fake Windows BSOD. The QR code is supposed to link to the documentation page on error boundaries, but sadly it's broken

Yes, there's code in Chromium going back to the KDE/ Konqueror and WebKit days that's LGPL licensed. Mostly in the Blink rendering engine like you linked.

You really should not use this ever in any situation, but for historical reasons[1], if they are the only thing on the line you can use HTML comments in JavaScript like so: function foo() {  return

Basically what this commenter said, but substitute WebP and WebM for HEIF and HEVC https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26298606 GIFs have a nice convenience to them that straight-up video files lack

I really hope that HEIF animations can take the place of GIFs someday. http://nokiatech.github.io/heif/comparison.html

Travis CI was, to my knowledge, the only CI provider that let you test projects on IBM Power and Z. [1] Are there any alternatives? [1] https://blog.travis-ci.com/2019-11-12-multi-cpu-architecture...

The build scripts and the JS files in the project that interact with FFmpeg and give it a JS API are licensed under the MIT license, but FFmpeg itself is still LGPL.

Unmounting/ejecting a drive by dragging its desktop icon to the trash. I know you did this in really old macs to eject a floppy, but it's cool they keep that feature around on modern macOS

I am not sure if it's still this way, but I think at least some versions of the Qt Commercial License disallowed you from having user scripting in your application - or at least, exposing Qt APIs to user scripting. So no bindings like

Also, whether a system is ARM or Intel could be used as another bit of entropy for fingerprinting.

The terms of their commercial license may have been evolving, but the terms of the open source has not. GPL is GPL and LGPL is LGPL. The terms of those licenses prohibit additional restrictions (notably, you are not allowed to add a noncomm

Sometimes you can also run into situations where someone returned an external hard drive, but they swapped the drive inside with a cheap low capacity drive (like a 500gb drive put into an 8tb drive enclosure)

I don't see anything like that either. The second paragraph even says this: > Either for free or for a price. Also, there's stuff from KDE in the marketplace too: https://marketplace.qt.io/collections/plugi
