That's an excellent question for the maintainers of the MacPorts project! It can supplement the very clear and polite answer you've already received from a maintainer of Homebrew.

That's just derision, not an explanation. And it's a bad way to treat someone humbly trying to learn.

Google sells (and also owns) domains with exotic TLDs. It's reasonable to expect them to get handled gracefully. And as the article explains, it was the prefix (web.*) and not the suffix (one.*) which turned out to be tripping their va

With an open-weights model, anyone with the hardware to run the model can act as a provider. The median provider pays nothing for the model, so they do not contribute to the cost of training it.

If you don't want people calling these apps TUIs, what would you prefer people call them? And what does the term TUI refer to, if not this?

The parent comment was specifically and exclusively talking about autism, not Down's syndrome. I'm addressing their claim that it is "ridiculous" for an autistic person to "claim" to be autistic when other

I'm sure the browser does do that, and plenty of other optimisations too! This thing isn't trying to do standard text layout faster than the browser, it's trying to enable more exotic/dynamic/custom layouts while

What you're missing is that each segment (typically a word) only needs to be measured once, in the setup phase. The canvas gets thrown away after that, and subsequent layout passes all reuse the cached measurements. If you only perform

It's a matter of integrity. Support or oppose whoever you like, but if you change your principles based on the person in question, then you don't have principles at all.

Upload progress. The Fetch API offers no way observe and display progress when uploading a file (or making any large request). jQuery makes this possible via the `xhr` callback.

It's silly to treat this like a totalizing partisan issue where everything must be clearly "pro-ai" or "anti-ai". Browsers are currently incentivised to add a bunch of new features outside their traditional role. So

It doesn't matter if a library is written in TS or JS; you cannot meaningfully protect against other code calling you incorrectly. Sure, you can check if they gave you a string instead of a number. But if you receive an array of nested

This is a little different from most "Doom on X" projects, because the accomplishment is less about the hardware (it's just a normal computer) and more about turning a circuit-board designer into a real-time game display.

That's a little ungenerous. Richer types are not intrinsically about metaprogramming, they just let you model your domain more accurately so you can turn runtime errors into build-time errors. If your system already has natural constra
