You don't have to buy from them, you can get third party hard drives. Although those are expensive too

You can get around this by grabbing a wildcard certificate and then using a hard-to-guess subdomain.

MacOS has a good CLI if you need to use it. There are CLI equivalents for a lot of the system setting/administration stuff.

I think the dumb part is that it's not like decoding or encoding video becomes harder when there's more users. The effort to write code for encoding for a small service of 1000 users and a large service of 10 million users is the exact same. We really don't need middlemen extracting everything they can, which will drive up costs.

I'm shocked there isn't more government regulation about this. You can't ban Bitcoin, but if you make it a massive pain to invest in it and make it difficult to convert between physical currency that would drive down a lot of demand.

GitHub already has a program to scan for keys, since publishing Discord tokens by mistake used to get the token immediately revoked and a DM from the system account saying why

I've been able to trigger a segfault in zsh with certain plugins, a directory with a lot of files/folders, and globs with a bunch of * characters.

It was obvious Apple was going to bend the knee with that gold plaque.

They mention it's compiled to WASM.

If I had to describe it, Notion is if somehow managed to combine OneNote and Excel. Of interest is the fact that the "database" system stores each row as a page with the column values other than title stored in a special way. Of course, this also means that it doesn't scale at all, but I have seen some crazy use cases (an example is replacing Jira).

You probably want to check before you clear cache

GitHub was folded into Microsoft's "CoreAI" team. Not very confidence-inspiring.

NPM is owned by GitHub and therefore Microsoft, who is too busy putting in Copilot into apps that have 0 reason to have any form of generative AI in them

I believe that for X-ray mode, the radiation was indirect, so it needed a lot more power. Furthermore, older revisions had hardware locks, and the intent of the Therac-25 was to make it cheaper.

Does Broadcom do anything but get hate for their shitty decisions? They are becoming, if they aren't already, the new Oracle.

This is because blurays ship their subtitles as a bunch of text images. So pirates have 3 options:

1. Just copy them over from the Bluray. This lacks support in most client players, so you'll either need to download a player that does, or use something like Plex/Jellyfin, which will run FFMpeg to transcode and burn the picture subtitles in before sending it to the client.

2. Run OCR on the Bluray subtitles. Not perfect.

3. Steal subtitles from a streaming service release (or multiple) if it exists.

FFMpeg is probably not as up high since video processing only needs to be done on the servers that receive media. I doubt most phones are running FFMpeg on video.

I just use match case as a traditional switch statement.

You need to make that exclude match = ... since match can also be a variable name. This is because people used to write code like match = re.search(...)
