Followed instructions for 21.04 (distro = "hirsute"), greeted with complaint about binder missing. Found some bug report on the web suggesting I must rebuild my kernel to enable binder. Noped out of there. Looks like a nice effort

I'd much rather they relicensed early if they can, to set expectations and to ensure talented people actually get to sustain its development, rather than parasitic jobsworth FAANG types who will inevitably drive development at Amazon.

You can do reasonable 1080p at 3Mbit with h.264, if these were live streams you could fit around 130k sessions on the machine. But this workload is prerecorded bulk data, I imagine the traffic is considerably spikier than in the live stream

Parent comment likely refers to kernel CPU time accounted for in the generating process. If an application passes an audio sample to PulseAudio, it is charged for (at most) a memory copy and one or two syscalls, while PulseAudio is charged

Unhindered access to the Internet for children means unlimited access by advertisers, politicians and advocacy groups to push literally whatever they want into the child's head, regardless of what that might be. For example, should it

Flat design is basically a form of elitism. In order to understand how and why the computer works, you must subscribe to a cathedral of thought that exists at this stage more or less to protect itself and celebrate its own brilliance, becau

Thanks for the excellent explanation, but the attitude and needless personalization was unnecessary. This functionality was previously available via the Optimize-Volume cmdlet, I guess it makes sense the defragmenter was updated with simila

The actual MSDN docs sections are uniformly reasonable in my experience, but some galaxy brains decided to nest at least 2 (if not 3?) user support forums (think "my printer is broken") under the microsoft.com domain. Searching th

They hilariously managed to roll out yet another UI revamp on top of the UI revamp that broke extensions without actually fixing extensions. Of course the revamp is worse, Windows 3.1-style 3D bevels on bookmark icons now (while ignoring th

This sounds really interesting, could you provide a bit more detail on the application? Mostly interested in: - was it over a LAN or WAN? - how were the latency improvements measured? - was there a UI on the front end or was this strictly a

Death by a thousand features. Very happy to see all the tons of new library work over the years, but really detest pretty much all new syntax extensions, it's morphed JS into the very thing it was never intended to be. 2006 era JS was

187k of very compressible strings, producing a small array in memory, in exchange for avoiding all the costs of a web service seems like an excellent trade off. 187k seemed quite expensive, the file actually drops to 49k with Brotli and rem

Sex is observed, not assigned, this is true even in the case of intersex individuals. The modern construct of gender is largely a function of environmental and media exposure. Unlike sex, no falsifiable tests exist for it. Don't confus

Trans advocacy is a policy game at every level, not a numbers game. At the national level for example, the UN universal periodic review began recently including trans rights in its methodology. It is far more likely Mattel would respond to
