In other words, for the user, it's not a step forward. It doesn't matter if the spec is perfect.

But most software that would need to care about that already needs to care about timezones, and those already need to be regularly updated, sometimes with not much more than a month's notice.

As I'm sure many of the customers can tell you, the company and the products are very real. And they come in very real milled aluminum cases, the case in the images is 3d printed because it's a prototype.

I don't understand the initial motivation for converting regular dynamic library dependencies to dlopen dependencies. How does that help with reducing the footprint?

The funniest part of this is that they don't even check for all of the banned strings. Source: I'm a student there and tried it out of curiosity.

Did I read this correctly, there is a mandatory suffix to names of all female Lithuanians, required by law?

"Code" refers to whatever software written in C. "Implementations" refers to implementations of the language - C compilers and runtimes.

Yeah and they're both hostile to the user.

Wow, I didn't know about this correlation, where can I read more about that?

The "task" changes from time to time as well. Creating crazy new things, then figuring out they're too complex and then reinventing them simpler is another endless cycle, much older than software development itself.

I have a hard time believing this is about blocking malware. Discord doesn't want to be a free file hosting platform anymore, and that's fine, but they shouldn't pretend this is about something else.
