Their buttons fail way too easily, but can usually be fixed with some WD-40, CRC 5-56, or any similar thin oil.

The atmosphere above Christchurch, NZ tends to form layers in winter that trap the smoke and make this worse, and new fireplaces have been restricted to clean-burning log burners and dry wood by law.

It seemed like the biggest change in air quality in recent years came from the tragic earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 knocking down all the unreinforced-masonry chimneys, though.

The FSF also typically requires a copyright assignment for their GPL code. Nobody thinks that they’ll ever relicense Emacs, though.

malloc in uCRT just calls HeapAlloc, though? You can see the code in ucrt\heap\malloc_base.cpp if you have the Windows SDK installed.

Programs can opt in to the _segment_ heap in their manifest, but it’s not necessarily any faster.

Could it be an accent thing? Trying to learn foreign language pronunciation as a New Zealand English speaker is frustrating; I should not be pronouncing 에 as the vowel in “bed” the way I say the latter, but that’s what every description of it says.

It’s accurate to say that there are twelve intervals, anyway, which is the point you were making.

You have a fencepost error; the notes in Western music in equal temperament are C, C♯/D♭, D, D♯/E♭, E, F, F♯/G♭, G, G♯/A♭, A, A♯/B♭, B, then c an octave higher is the thirteenth.

All the modern AS/400 servers can run unmodified AIX programs these days anyway.

If it’s just for Java that’s not really a problem. They might be able to run the applet directly with appletviewer, or repackage it for Java Web Start. Otherwise, CheerpJ has a solution for continuing to run the applet in the browser by converting it to WASM.

Same. Gradle even lets you configure replacement dependencies, so if anything depends on Log4J it automatically gets the adapter instead.

At least when it was released, IIS 10 supported HTTP/2, but did not support Kerberos, Negotiate or NTLM authentication over HTTP/2.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/get-started/whats-new-i...

I’m not sure that it’s a problem with HTTP/2 that Microsoft found no reason to implement Windows authentication for it.

Given the long history of request parsing vulnerabilities in HTTP/1.1 servers and proxies, is HTTP/2 actually worse, or have most of the HTTP/1.1 bugs just been fixed already?

In context, Twitter sees this as encouraging the violent minority of his supporters to do whatever they like at the inauguration, since he will not be there, only Pence, Biden and Harris.

It’s in the blog post that I linked to, which quotes the tweet that you seem to be referring to.

Unless you think Twitter was lying in https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio..., that last tweet was the call to violently disrupt the inauguration in POTUS’ absence that was the final straw.

That’s my experience with notifications as well, but I also still miss having a separate LED to show pending notifications when the screen is off.

You will only get detectable antibodies if the virus activated the adaptive immune system. This could be the case if the infection was successfully and quickly controlled by the innate immune system.

It’s possible and desirable for a vaccine to stimulate antibody production where a “natural” infection would not, which is one of the things that will be tested during their development. An extreme example is infection with the tetanus-causing bacterium clostridium tetani, which doesn’t provide natural immunity at all.

Are you asking why it’s F3 as opposed to some other key? Because that would be from the IBM CUA standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access.

That's an awful lot of work just because Amazon can't charge the right account.

It also doesn't necessarily solve the problem. The charges could accumulate in their systems until Amazon hands them to a debt collector, or the bank might helpfully transfer them to the new card anyway.

Do you mean the Usborne books? For some serious nostalgia, you can read them for free at https://usborne.com/browse-books/features/computer-and-codin....

Was it referring to browser.xul? There’s no XUL left, so you might need to change that to browser.xhtml.

It’s probably https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1574538, so you could try Firefox Nightly and see if there’s any improvement.

If there is anything like tcpdump for COM, it would be part of Event Tracing for Windows, but you’d probably prefer to use it via Microsoft Message Analyzer.

There's a couple of examples at https://teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/31154/greendale-fault of what might euphemistically be called an "internal distortion" near the edge of a tectonic plate.

After something bigger, you'll be one the lookout for unreinforced masonry, and crossing the street to avoid it. For example: http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/christchurch-earthquak...

The YouTube app that’s built in to my DVR has major issues with anything wider that 16:9; for something very wide and not letterboxed like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lztj7kFIMhA, it gets displayed small and windowboxed on my normal 1080p TV. Possibly there’s some outdated targeting of the lowest common denominator by these companies.

You should be able to do something with labels, CSS sibling selectors, and the :checked pseudo-class if it matters to you. I found an example at https://codepen.io/ancaspatariu/pen/WpQYOP which does quite a lot more than you’d need.

The first step towards pattern matching will be previewed in JDK 12[1], as a Kotlin-like switch statement, to form the basis of pattern matching[2] together with changes already in JDK 11[3]. I think it will be more like 15 months than 15 years.

I don’t expect higher kinded types any time soon, though.

The Debian security team doesn’t patch packages from the non-free repository, like the 7-Zip RAR support:

https://www.debian.org/security/faq#contrib

That would have to wait for the maintainer to upload a new version and get it into a stable release.
