About map/area: Some websites still use them, and really well too. The Team Fortress 2 website[0] uses them with the images at the top of the page to link each of the characters' description pages. [0]: https://teamfort

No mention of Smalltalk in the comments? The "codebase" that is managed by ucm sounds very similar to Smalltalk images. I am personally delighted about this.

Here I must praise KiCad. It is one of the best pieces of FOSS software out there. It beats almost all other (commercial or non-commercial) software in PCB design, hands down.

I have been waiting for a strongly typed mainstream high level language for a long time (TypeScript doesn't count because all type information is stripped during runtime). PHP still has a lot of cruft that prevents me from using it in

The status page has updated to indicate that they misconfigured their firewall. Apparently their entire set of services go through a single firewall (or at least, multiple firewalls with the same config). It's worrying that they don&#x

Ironically, status.gitlab.com takes upwards of a minute to load on my end. I thought it was going to time out.

I can't find it on F-Droid, hopefully they get it on there soon. The main repo doesn't seem to have the Pocket spyware in the app yet, at least.

Unfortunately, if the hardware has a lot of issues the well-integrated experience seems to quickly fall apart. I can't really speak about the desktop side of Apple products but the MacBook line of products seem to be troubled with many

That means the algorithm's complexity is non-linear. I am suspecting the JScrush code currently but it could be somewhere else as well.

This website has a very thorough Firefox de-bloat and anti-tracking guide: https://spyware.neocities.org/guides/firefox.html I find that some of those options are excessive, but it's good for the privacy-minded in

Heck, companies are already starting to use CNAME records to fool ad/content blockers. I don't think what you're describing is far from becoming reality.

Whatever happened to good old CUPS? Why did they have to introduce so many layers including Google's servers between the user and the printer?

The images in the article will stay a blurry mess without Javascript and will not load. Please don't do this. Use progressive images. EDIT: Apparently they are videos, but you can still add thumbnail images to native HTML5 videos witho
