It would indicate that the parties are actually independent and not just controlled opposition.

And how often do they vote against each other?

An enterprise shop I co-op'd at was porting one of their apps from Xamarin to MAUI when I worked there, but certainly it doesn't have much mindshare (if any) amongst SE undergrads at my university.

All dependency management is speculative. You've got to hedge your bets that the dependency is reliable and fit for purpose. It is reasonable to view Bun's recent choices as increasing the risk associated with depending on it.

I just graduated this weekend and my school gave us our cap and gown for free. Seems fair with how much we're paying...

Finally won a game against the Easy bot on the 9x9 board after around 10 tries.

Seems like if you want to force a win, you have to think about how to put your opponent in "Zugzwang" (to borrow a Chess term).

Very fun game! Has this been released before? This is the only place I can find that mentions it.

I like mine. the moto g line of phones are like $200, unlocked. They're fast enough for anything I do with a phone. It runs android. It's fine. I've thought about GrapheneOS before but I a) don't want to give Google money to rely less on Google and b) Pixels are expensive. If Motorola can change those points then I'd definitely be interested.

Ever heard of the Constitution?

Or, larger districts of ~5 or so representatives. In the US, Representatives are already barely "local" -- 700k+ people to a single district.

LibreOffice is eating Microsoft 365 lunch

This one misses the point entirely, I'm sorry to say. Microsoft 365's "lunch" is that a majority of US businesses, schools, and governments are reliant on 365 for anything in their organization to function.

It's a Half-Life 2 reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJshjMyg6no

I thought so too at first, coming from a language (Hare) where they are very easy and common, but the Diagnostics pattern isn't that bad once you expect it. Various examples: https://ziggit.dev/search?q=Diagnostics

"tell"?

When talking in terms of software parallelism, "parallel" and "sequential" are more common to describe, for example, multi-threaded vs. single-threaded implementations.

No, it is a protocol that allows a user to create their own social network within their Messaging app.

(2009)

It says the first half of the advance would be paid on approval of the first third of the book. It also says that the first third of the book was never submitted. So I don't think the advance was ever paid out.

QDirStat is a Linux equivalent: https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat

The Pentagram at the top of the page does not load without JS enabled.

I use Firefox on Android perhaps entirely because it supports uBlock Origin and my other extensions.

I would guess that of people that would ever go out of their way to use a non-Chrome browser on Android, the fraction who care about extensions is pretty significant.

This is terrifying. Truth is dead.

They're all using it.

Not really. Go talk to anyone who uses the internet for Facebook, Whatsapp, and not much else. Lots of people have typed in chatgpt.com or had Google's AI shoved in their face, but the vast majority of "laypeople" I've talked to about AI (actually, they've talked to me about AI after learning I'm a tech guy -- "so what do you think about AI?") seem to be resigned to the fact that after the personal computer and the internet, whatever the rich guys in SF do is what is going to happen anyway. But I sense a feeling of powerlessness and a fear of being left behind, not anything approaching genuine interest in or excitement by the technology.

Because then you'd have to do that.

It means that every now and then, the Glance weather widget will pop up. I'll click on it, then it will bring up the full UI and ask me if I actually want to use it. I click "Disable Smart Lock Screen" instead, then it goes away from my lock screen. For a while.

On my Moto G, Glance keeps getting re-enabled every month or so even after I disable it every time. Annoying.

Says God, would say the framers.

I think it's fine. Better than purple on dark-grey that I've seen posted here.

The setup UI has no option for you to proceed beyond this point without internet access.
