Well, what an asshole. The candidate dodged a bullet.

I guess that’s part of the reason they’re exploring coatings - something to slow down the degradation during regular usage.

Ah but imagine the eager faces of Logitech’s execs when they realize they could make their mice dissolve under your fingers and offer a subscription for replacements.

I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg’s less glamorous knockoff, people didn’t comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then Digg nuked itself and reddit was forever changed.

Like, I wonder why trump thought all these billion dollars global corporations kept bending the knee to China in the first place…

I don’t expect his thinking got as far as that question.

I first used the internet in 1992. It was nice and quiet back then. You could send emails and poke around with a text browser and gopher. Then you could think “Welp, not much to see here” and go outside or read a book.

If you read the whole thread, it turns out to be an undesirable behaviour of a tool called b4, which was rewriting not just author information but committer information. The consensus seems to be that this tool needs to be updated not to do that.

People don’t want to admit it judging by the downvotes, but there is nothing in the article that justifies the headline, and your point seems correct. If they were to pass the increased costs of importing steel and aluminum to the buyers of these military vehicles, the increase in price would hardly be noticeable. You can admit this without it meaning “I like Donald Trump.”

It’s still quite a lot nicer than reddit, even if it has its share of unpleasant characters. Whenever I read a reddit thread I am glad Lemmy exists.

An Acorn Atom with 2KB of RAM because 12KB was too expensive. Good little computer, and the journey from the tiny Acorn Computers company to today’s ARM processors is a pretty amazing one.

It is. My phone has been warning me. It’s only password autofill that they’re removing (for now), not TOTP stuff.

Hard drives are also relatively cheap and fast enough for many purposes. My PCs use SSDs for system drives but HDDs for some data drives, and my NAS will use hard drives until SSDs become more affordable.

I guess the idea is you’d still do that, but have more data in each array. It does raise the risk of losing a lot of data, but that can be mitigated by sensible RAID design and backups. And then you save power for the same amount of storage.

Still, it’s a good thing if it means energy savings at data centers.

For home and SMB use there’s already a notable absence of backup and archival technologies to match available storage capacities. Developing one without the other seems short sighted.

Especially when the USA keeps making clear that it is one of the two countries most likely to conduct hostile actions against Canada.

how hard Trump’s allies have been working to expand the MAGA brand across the globe,

You can’t really call it MAGA when it’s outside the USA. It’s just generic fascism.

In the JetBrains IDEs (which, relatively speaking, I like), I have to use “Invalidate caches and restart” several times a day just to get past all the incorrect error highlighting.

You should refer to Visual Studio by its full title: “Visual Studio (not responding)”.

For personal use? I never do anything that would qualify as “auditing” the code. I might glance at it, but mostly out of curiosity. If I’m contributing then I’ll get to know the code as much as is needed for the thing I’m contributing, but still far from a proper audit. I think the idea that the open-source community is keeping a close eye on each other’s code is a bit of a myth. No one has the time, unless someone has the money to pay for an audit.

I don’t know whether corporations audit the open-source code they use, but in my experience it would be pretty hard to convince the typical executive that this is something worth investing in, like cybersecurity in general. They’d rather wait until disaster strikes then pay more.
