I don’t even need the features but I’ll probably buy a license anyway. This software is great and I can’t imagine going back to macOS’ built in alt tab or Mission Control.

The only downside is the "this app is recording your screen" notification light that pops up briefly when you enter full screen mode that a native implementation wouldn’t have to deal with. But clearly, Apple has no interest in building one.

I wonder if this has any measurable impact on compile times.

Tell me: why are these algorithms suddenly okay when the victim turns 18?

They are bad for everyone and if you’re willing to regulate them, make them illegal to be used on anyone.

I love how to do anything in this language, you have to fight it with all you have. You have to use features in ways that feel like they were probably never intended to be used in. Everything is just an accident, some random pattern randomly discovered by someone when some typo happened to compile.

I feel like they could do a better job, though. In the postmortems of incidents you often hear it's because some maintainer got hit by the perfect phishing attack at the right time and they got tricked into entering password and TOTP into a phishing site. If that is so, why are we still allowing phishable credentials for logging into package repositories?

Thanfully, you don't need to write p/invoke stuff yourself anymore. https://github.com/microsoft/cswin32 creates methods and all related structs for you. It's also AOT compatible (if you specify it). It works for calling C and COM functions.

I mean, not like this brings Windows development anywhere close to "modern", if anything, it feels like you're moving into the opposite direction, but at least this solves the "The modern APIs don't provide the specific functionality I need" problem that plagues all of Microsoft's "nice", "modern" abstractions…

Maybe we could add an extension to webauthn that adds a reason to a passkey. Then, the credential manager can warn the user better why deleting the passkey would be a bad idea.

Many such cases

I think most of us will wait for these chips to get into more useful computers.

This! Does it render Windows‘ windows individually on the Linux desktop, with integration into alt-tab, the Ubuntu dock etc. or does it just render one big VM window? How is that not shown on the site.

Then the government will just force ISP DNS not to answer queries for the domain. That's how easy you can block 99% of users, which is good enough.

And eventually, when all our hardware is runs-software-and-settings-signed-by-approved-entity-only, that last 1% can't do anything about it either.

Looks like I finally found some common ground with the US government. May the UK fail again.

Did the OTP message they sent you state that this code was specifically to authenticate on the phone?

If it did and even included details like the person‘s name, that would make me feel safe. If it’s a generic OTP that could be used to log into my account or reset its password, though…

Maybe once it’s round enough, we’ll get a round Apple Watch screen.

If the police has a warrant, they can present it to your phone provider who are then required to send the data they have about you and your phone calls. This data may include the actual recorded conversations if allowed by the warrant.

This is regulated in the Telekommunikations-Überwachungsverordnung (TKÜV).

Edit: nvm, I didn't see this was about the GDR.

I wish jq would be in the posix standard. JSON is EVERYWHERE nowadays. A system that can’t parse it is incomplete. Not having a standard way to write a script that does it and works across *nixes is a mistake.

Who knows if that interview even happened. Bild makes up stuff all the time, or bends the truth to make it more interesting or fit their narrative better.

My ass would be offended if so wiped it with a BILD "news"paper.

Have capitalists ever stopped just because their actions (that make them money) hurt others? Because the consequences of the damage they cause might in the end hurt them, too?

Hoping they just stop seems futile…

I wonder if a compiler that uses LTO could optimize these vtable calls to the same kind of code the switch statement can be optimized to.
