Why does it have to be a single continuous map at all? Couldn't we use multiple circular projections centered at different latlongs? We'd give up continuity at the seams, but at least every region could be shown close to the cente

My understanding is that a Verschlimmbesserung stems from a genuine intent to improve something, even though it ultimately has the opposite effect.

Where I live, the overlap between banks with physical branches and those that don’t require an app or cardTAN is nonexistent - genuinely zero. But maybe I’m just old-school for wanting to have the option to visit a branch.

same here... unfortunately, there are too few users of alternative Android distros for the banks to care...at all

This is a huge problem in EU countries! The relevant regulations are Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/389 and the earlier Directive (EU) 2015/2366. While these laws are deliberately vague when it comes to specific technol

There's nothing wrong with using public funds to solve real problems, but persistent deficit spending is the wrong way to go about it! Deficit spending causes inflation, and that type of inflation is a hidden, regressive form of taxati

Thank you for doing this! I really mean it. We need more developers who care about keeping websites lean and fast. There's no good reason a regular site shouldn't work on GPRS, except maybe if the main content is video.

1GB RAM per 1TB storage is really only required if you enable deduplication, which rarely makes sense. Otherwise, the only benefit more RAM gets you is better performance. But it's not like ZFS performs terribly with little RAM. It&#x2

ZFS doesn't really need huge amounts of RAM. Most of the memory usage people see is the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC), which will happily use as much memory as you throw at it, but will also shrink very quickly under memory pressu

In my experience, writing a few lines to handle errors is really not as big of a deal as a lot of people make it out to be. However, I've seen numerous times how error handling can become burdensome in poorly structured codebases that

SerenityOS serves as a cool side project for those who like to tinker with OS dev. I don't think it was "born" with any other goals in mind. Neither was their browser project, it just happened to turn into something a lot mor

This is big news. Defer can simplify control flow a lot, especially in early-return cases like handling errors. No longer do we have to write deeply nested ifs or the madness that is goto. Resource acquisition and cleanup can now be right n

> maybe today you can still build a win10 binary with a win11 toolchain, but you cannot build a win98 binary with it for sure. In my experience, that's not quite accurate. I'm working on a GUI program that targets Windows NT 4.

Strongly agree with this article. It highlights really well why overcommit is so harmful. Memory overcommit means that once you run out of physical memory, the OOM killer will forcefully terminate your processes with no way to handle the er

There's still plenty of mandatory reading. It's not unusual for high schoolers to have to read at least two books per semester. Here's the problem though: It's just too easy to... you know... not do it. Teachers have no

Yeah, hosting on or at least tunneling through a commercial IP address is definitely required in order not to be flagged as spam. Personally, I chose the latter option of hosting my MTA at home but tunneling its traffic through a VPS in

Unfortunately, Memory64 comes with a significant performance penalty because the wasm runtime has to check bounds (which wasn't necessary on 32-bit as the runtime would simply allocate the full 4GB of address space every time). But if
