I think a way to do is to reduce how many dependencies are needed.

It is not what I meant and also seems to me not what is meant by sp.h either.

I agree with most of the criticisms they make. I agree that pointer and length is better than null-terminated strings (although it is difficult in C, and as they mention you will have to use a macro (or some additional functions) to work th

Gopher and Gemini can both work on many kind of devices; having a monochrome display, or the differences in input (e.g. having numbered lines works OK, especially since both require links to be on a line by itself, unlike HTML), etc, withou

There are also the other "small web" protocols (and some other stuff). Either way, it is still the same internet and not a new one, and still uses TCP/IP and DNS (although not HTTP/HTML). (That does not mean that it is n

The robots.txt file should be used to restrict (and, in some cases, slow down) crawling at the time it is being crawled, not for SEO or for restricting access to mirrors or for any other purpose. It should never apply retroactively. (Unfort

They mention a compiler having access to a file called BILL for storing billing information and if you specify that it is the file for debugging then it is overwritten by the debugging information. While an appropriate kind of capability sy

This kind of proxy capabilities has other benefits as well, e.g. you can implement a disk quota, or transparent compression, or logging, or ask the user (if you have a capability which can do that), or provide access to a part of the file a

How I had idea of a computer and operating system design, measuring time also requires a capability. Creating files (including temporary files) also requires capabilities. Shared memory is read-only by everyone; to be able to write to memor

I think many people have had similar ideas, including I also had ideas about how to design computer and operating system, which can use proxy capabilities. (There are different kind of capability systems, and I think that proxy capabilities

Is there a proper full list without needing to download the very big ZIP archive file? I don't know if it includes "every operating system I can think of". I can think of some things: TempleOS, BTRON (there might be more than

Even just disabling CSS makes it readable. For HTTPS, I think that (like someone else mentioned) it should be made optional (at least for read-only access to public files) rather than mandatory.

There is a lot more than only what they explain in that article (I don't know of any full implementation of Pokemon in Prolog, although there is an implementation in TypeScript). For example, you can also switch out (to activate a diff

I am guessing that service returns the XML file as a directory listing; the file called winbridge.html does exist in that directory (and contains a JavaScript code to redirect to a different URL). (Another comment said they shortened the UR

At least in my opinion, it might depend what kind of game. For example, there can be: card game, certain kind of puzzle games, Pokemon game, etc. There might also be consideration of such things like what portability you want, what sandboxi

Query strings do have uses (such as for searching files and some other kind of dynamic files), but you shouldn't add them to URLs that should not expect them. So, I agree that they would be right to refuse requests with UTM and other s

It might be reasonable to have a separate key for "tab" vs "next field", as well as separate key for "line break" vs "send". (But, tab and line break are not applicable for all contexts.) However, it

> To have it silently just start adding marketing copy to git commit messages is pretty bad. To have that added text not be visible to the user in the UI so they can remove it before commit is just much worse. This is one of the problems

I would think that the thing to do about it (if you want to use VS Code at all; some people (such as myself) don't), should be to send a patch to prevent adding the Co-authored-by line if Copilot is disabled, so that it will only add t

There is another case, which is that the code is approved but not merged (in which case the maintainer may apply it manually (with changes), and might list the author of the PR as a co-author of the commit that applies those changes).

Yes, I know that (I was aware of both of these cases, as well as others). In those cases, there are characters that do not correspond to any Unicode characters. Nevertheless, what I was saying is that many programs seem to be designed as th

I think a open-source exemption would be acceptable (if done properly; another comment mentions a possible problem), even though I would think it would be preferable to not have such age-verification bills at all. At least, adding the exemp

If they are misinterpreted, it is because the character encoding is not declared properly. I still sometimes see mojibake in Japanese web pages, but sometimes it works; if it works, it is because the character encoding is declared properly.

> Unfortunately no, Unicode is not simply a mapping of bytes to characters. It is a mapping of numbers to code points, and in some cases you can even get the same characters with multiple code point sequences (not a very good mapping!).

> A file isn't meaningful unless you know how to interpret it; that will always be true. There are multiple levels of meaning, though; character encoding is just one part of it. For example, a text file might be plain text, or HTML,

by zzo38computer 5mo ago
Another way that the character encoding could be declared is ISO 2022. When using ISO 2022, the declaration of UTF-8 is <1B 25 47>, rather than the <EF BB BF> that XML and some other formats use. However, whether you do it that

Yes, I thought of what you mentioned too, and in my opinion, DER is a better format, and it is a binary format rather than text. (In my ideas of an operating system design, there is a structured binary format (similar to DER but different)

I agree with you that Unicode is too complicated and messy, although it also shows that whether or not something is considered "plain" is itself too difficult. Unicode has caused many problems (although it was common for m17n and

There are several reasons. One possible reason is, if you do not need the functions of other operating systems, then DOS will be much simpler.
