Maybe it would have generated with floats if it was prompted for a generator in x87 assembly? It did originate as an extension to x86 on a separate chip, so it could explain the AI sticking to integers.

When Google contribute to open source, they often do it to scratch their own itch. That's how most open source organizations works. What Automattic wants from WPE as laid outs in their term sheet is to dictate what WPE contributes and audit their accounting. Not exactly on the same playing field as other corporate contributions to open source projects. Not to mention the non-forking clause.

Maybe setting up a proper independent governance of the WordPress project would encourage more independent contributions.

But why would the code quality suck if features or maintenance of supported systems was prioritized ahead of arcane architectures? Time is a limited resource, so why should extreme portability be considered the holy grail?

Imho the most important part of the x86 standardization is the IBM pc platform. Arm boards doesn't have an equivalent platform to standardize on, so everybody does their own thing.

AirPods Max 6 years ago

AirPods Max require Apple devices running iOS 14.3 or later, iPadOS 14.3 or later, macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later, watchOS 7.2 or later, or tvOS 14.3 or later.

Not even standard bluetooth.

mjpeg is a normal, albeit very simple video stream. While you could certainly squeeze the counter in less bytes by using a more advanced codec with interframe coding, it would be overkill for this poc.

Another curious situation drm-demanding publishers have created for themselves is the lack of control and leverage against the stores. With the closed Kindle ecosystem in such a major position, Amazon (with its poor drm) has tremendous leverage over the publishers.

I also use MDN as my primary source for js documentation. However, the answer is often easy available by just prodding a bit in the devtools console. Live coding keeps the flow :)

And that was in 2012. I reckon everybody who cares knows that openssh config uses ~/.ssh, and those who do not care will not cry if they accidently delete it.

Stovetops with capacitive buttons are much nicer than the cheaper resistive buttons. Never had any problems with the two inductive stovetops I have owned, but vacation homes with cheaper electric stovetops with resistive buttons is more hassle. The flat surface of both variants makes them easy to keep clean and child lock.

At least it is https, so no mitm attack. You have to trust the Sandstorm developers, even if you download the source and apply all the steps manually. If the site gets compromised, the attackers can modify the source and the website documentation for the PGP verification.
