No, that's too easily machine-read. Print it in a fancy calligraphy font or one with ambiguous characters.

I had the exact opposite experience. It doesn't teach the basics needed to even solve the first puzzle. Which language are we even writing in? Clicking help explains what exactly to do but not why, as well as lots of rules with unexpla

You mean un-uninstallable crapware? This has at least a technical reason: Preloaded apps are part of the read-only system image and cannot be removed. "Disabling" should be equivalent, though. It's not just preloaded apps, th

Mobile browsers are assuming you're looking at a legacy page optimized for desktops (widescreen) and have a relatively large virtual screen size by default. They expect you to manually zoom in as necessary. Adding this helps: <m

The image gets de-saturated but the noise that's mixed in is colored. This looks like a mistake. I think the noise is also way too 'soft'. At high frequencies it just becomes near-uniform gray so it barely affects the thresho

Firefox on Android can override this via a toggle in the Accessibility settings. Maybe other browsers have something similar?

The perspective shifts so that the up-down direction becomes the hidden dimension. So the ceiling and floor disappear (and you have trouble avoiding lava) and you only see the walls of the space.

I wish TERM would contain a list of terminal types in decreasing order of specificity, like 'ghostty:xterm-256color', so a system that doesn't know what ghostty is would fall back to xterm-256color, but that ship has sailed l

To be clear, walking backwards (away from the target) reduced your bullet velocity relative to the target, reducing the damage you were doing and leading to you needing more shots.

The bad tutorial at least has some narrative justification. It's just a filter for people who are already useful as shock troops with minimal training.

The only wrong thing I've been throwing is the SOS Beacon instead of a Reinforce, which is just annoying, and not just once. It makes the game public if it was friends-only and gives it priority in the quick play queue. So that can&#x2

The game logic is also weird. It seems like they started with at attempt at a realistic combat simulator which then had lots of unrealistic mechanics added on top in an attempt to wrangle it into an enjoyable game. As an example for overly

Which codegen backend the building compiler uses is independent of which codegen backend(s) the built compiler uses. Similarly, you can build Clang using itself or using GCC. The resulting compiler should behave the same and produce the sam

The "about" does a lot of heavy lifting in this example. Dividing 10,000,000_10 by the number of grains that fit into one universe doesn't change it much. The 10,000,000 would get smaller somewhere in the deep depths of the d

Different access rules, I guess. Or maybe they wanted some separation from the existing org so the custom automation has no chance of doing collateral damage.

MSYS2 is basically Cygwin with Pacman for package management, plus several other environments with either GCC or Clang and different Windows-Native C and C++ runtimes. It's nice, but not perfect. It inherits a lot of problems from Cygw

Pretty much. AFAIK you're waiting for Windows Defender and other hooks to run.

I think the implication was that they're pointers to objects that own resources (like containing FILE handles) and need to be "freed" with a custom function, not just "free". void my_thing_free(MyThing *thing)

No, it also covers the data. As long as you don't delete the rollback subvolume, all the original data should still be there, uncorrupted. Even if you disable copy-on-write, as long as the rollback subvolume is there to lay claim to th

All of it. With a checksums-of-checksums scheme like a Merkele tree, you can effectively and efficiently checksum all the data and keep incremental changes cheap. You only need to update the checksums of the data blocks you touched and thei

When people "donate their body to science", they don't usually expect their parts getting sold to the public. But that's the reality of it.

Because it's an incredibly complex mess that will allow sandbox escape if it isn't implemented exactly right. Also, it's still in draft status. Not that that means much.

No, they're talking about the local connections that are covered by the ticket. They're that bad. I've had similar experiences commuting into Cologne where it's 40 minutes by car or 2 hours by train, and that's with

The main reason they picked Arch is the rolling release model with updates from upstream projects they work with landing quickly and continuously. So yes, TH's speculation is just off the mark here.

I'm not sure how this gets rendered, but the lack of hinting makes it a strain to read. What irony that an article about progress in text rendering has such awful rendering quality. PS: That is in Firefox. In Chrome it uses what appear

I don't know about power stations, but it's a common feature in medical devices. E.g. keyboards have a flat or nearly-flat surface so they can be easily cleaned by wiping without leaving any germs behind in a groove, or on an edge

If it were chemically/biologically stable until it has been mechanically eroded into microscopic particles, that would at least avoid adding to our microplastics problem.

No, they haven't. "Instant Payments"/"Instant Credit Transfers" are specifically transfers completed in seconds. Banks usually charge more for this service than for regular transfers, which complete on the next

`wcstombs` and `mbstowcs` sound like they might do this? They're C99 standard functions and should be converting between "wide strings" and "multibyte strings", which should be native UTF-16 and UTF-8 if your curren

I think you mean the LGPL? It allows you to "convey a combined work under terms of your choice" as long as the LGPL-covered part can be modified, which can be achieved either via dynamic linking or by providing the proprietary cod
