This is great news! MOBI and especially KF8 (Amazon flavour of XHTML on MOBI) are horribly complex by virtue of them being additional layers over the PalmDB format, which on it's own is actually quite elegant. I've spent quite som

From what I've seen the likelihood of triggering a pathological case with real-world non-malicious data is actually low enough to be ignored, given that the rolling hash function is well-crafted. I do agree that crafting malicious data

Some CDC implementations I have seen use a desired "average" chunk size value in addition to a minimum and maximum value. If the chunk exceeds the desired average size, the test for recognizing a byte sequence as a stop becomes mo

I don't know about BuildKit and `docker buildx`, but I've been using an approach similar to what is outlined in paragraph two to generate static executables for one of my projects. I use a multistage build to generate a podman&#x2

I remember introducing a middle schooler to programming using Scratch at my highschool's open day. I had spent a few hours making a simple two player shooting game and a maze generator for the IT class display. Most kids just wanted to

Thank you for your response! However, the linked content further seems to support my suspicion that having websites without any client-side JS is not in the scope of RSCs. The linked RFC, in my opinion, clearly states for it to be expected

I'm personally curious how the Next is able to achieve the claim of "zero client-side JavaScript" mentioned here[1] using react server components? It just doesn't seem to make sense to me, and the HN clone example and my

This is a really cool project. It's unfortunate to see the author being this obviously frustrated by having Sixel-related contributions be rejected time and time again. However it seems like the main Tmux maintainer has shown up on the

Somehow I don't seem to have the same experience as most people in this thread. Sure, homegrown tomatoes and cucumbers taste quite a bit better than what I usually buy at the supermarket, but it certainly isn't perfect vs. inedibl

I currently trust Restic with basically all of my long-term backups, which, according to the author, really isn't a thing I should do. However, I'm still somewhat confident in my strategy as I backup my all of my data to two entir

The interface uses ring buffers for communication between the kernel and u serspace. That's how I have always understood it at least, not sure if it's actually correct.

Just as another data point, I am from Europe and my application was accepted very quickly. Im currently using Hetzner for most of my personal cloud stuff and have been very happy with their services thus far.

> Would you use backtick? Dunno. I hear it’s hard to access on some keyboard layouts like German. It's fine, you have to press the key right next to the backspace key plus shift. Not exactly ergonomic, but easy to discover on basica

I get that this is the von Neumann architecture. What I don't get is how not understanding it connects to not wanting WASM or JITs in your web browser. Note also that the author explicitly mentions they are not that concerned with Java

Fair enough, it seems like we mostly agree on how technology generally affects the world. I can't say I currently possess the domain knowledge to confirm your views on GPT, so I'll just have to hope you are right.

Apparently I also don't? I fail to see the connection you are making.

I see your point, but aren't you making me into a bit of a straw man? When did I say that I was some open-access Luddite who won't use any technology that they can't build themselves. I just like the current state of programm

I've used systemd containers to run badly behaved GUI apps, e.g. Steam and MS Teams on my personal computers. Surprisingly good experience, the systemd manual pages are extremely comprehensive and, in my opinion, much easier to underst

It's basically just a nice way of composing the different parts of your system. E.g. you could write a NixOS module to manage your web app. You declaratively configure that you want to run Nginx, Postgres, etc. open some ports, connect

It seems to me that there are two different kinds of "rational" at play here. It might certainly be rational to accept a religious viewpoint and way of life to make use of the positive secondary effects you mention, but this won&#

I would guess that network effects and the amount of quality tools built on top of Git are the main reason for its prevalence. Fossil and Darcs sure look nice, but having to self-host my repositories or use a smaller company that could go u

This worked relatively well for my account. A major reason for my first match seems to have been both accounts talking about licensing issues and specifically GPL. Other matches seem to have shared some superficially similar political persp

I can see how Alpine makes some extremely simple things simpler than React, but it also really seems to restrict me in how I can refactor my website or app. With React I can keep things almost as simple as with Alpine, or move to more integ

I don't know the specifics of how TinyPilot is supposedly based on Pi-KVM, but seeing how the all Pi-KVM repositories seem to be licensed under GPL 3.0[^1] even distributing his code under MIT seems potentially legally problematic. See

Yeah, I get that, but it seems to me like that's worse than the security model for any non-containerized application. If you don't trust the author there really isn't much there that will protect you.

I'm not sure what you mean by non-malicious extensions being intrusive. I use a number of extensions, mostly content-blocking and privacy-related and they mostly just get out of my way. The Firefox Extension Store also has a recommende

I partly agree, but isn't that more of an issue about children being barbarians than about school being a barbaric institution? As you say, adults only have control over superficial parts of these dynamics. I'm dubious that they c
