chabad360··on Jitsi Meet Flutter SDK
The benefit of using jitsi is that you don't have to build the stack yourself.

> People somehow thought this would mean checking for ad block?

No, the worry about adblock was that Google could now just remove the ability for that work in chrome and there would be nothing you could do, because your forked chromium wouldn't pass the attestation check (cause it would never be blessed by Google). This concern extends to other browsers as well. Because Google is making themselves the signing authority here, they can choose which browsers are allowed and which aren't, letting them force other browsers to add or drop certain features if they want to be granted attestation.

chabad360··on Sourcehut 2022 Financial Report
You're looking at the number of invoices, which need to be decided by 12 for an accurate picture of users. If you look further down the article, Drew lists the actual number of subscriptions, and it's actually the opposite of what you said, there are more people paying yearly than monthly.
chabad360··on What's wrong with enterprise Linux
In his defence, most bugs in the kernel can be exploited, so it doesn't necessarily make sense to treat a "bug" with a PoC better than one without.
chabad360··on MuseScore 4.1 is now available
It seems that one of the listed improvements is major performance gains.
chabad360··on After Vietnam, the Philippines could be next to ban 'Barbie.' Here's why
Ironically, it seems said line only has 8 dashes in the shot from the movie.
chabad360··on Future CSS: State Container Queries
Jetbrains IntelliJ does a pretty good job for me. It's not perfect by any means (esp. because I'm working with go templates, and it doesn't fully understand those), but it gets the job done better than anything else I've used.
chabad360··on Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators from Subreddits Continuing Blackouts
OAuth client means the Apollo app, not the individual user.
chabad360··on Our right to challenge junk patents is under threat
The bigger issue is that it allows NPEs to protect themselves from this process (by declaring themselves as "small" and "inventor-owned"), making it kinda useless.
chabad360··on Framework Laptop 13 review: a DIY dream come true
Are we going to see improvements to the pricing overtime (and not just for last gen mobos)? Even the OP mentions that a roughly identical (spec wise) Dell laptop is $350 cheaper. It's rather hard for me (and even harder to convince someone else) to swallow that much of a premium.
chabad360··on Microsoft Small Basic
Wow, this really brings back memories. Small Basic was the first actual programming language I learned back when I was 10 years old. I remember getting my dad to print the language manual so I could read it on the plane ride to my grandparents.

The editor they shipped had some neat features for the time like Intelisense and built-in docs, it even had support for third-party libraries with DLLs. One really neat feature I also remember was that you could turn a SB project into VB with a click of a button, it would create the VS solution and vbproj for you. I'm not quite sure how it worked with the language itself cause VB looks quite a bit different and it wouldn't change your code (no transpiling or stuff like that, just a wrapper).

Funnily enough, I didn't actually move to VB from that, I went to C# (which I have since forgotten). But it definitely got me quite a bit further in my developer journey (now I work with Go at a small org).

chabad360··on Build your own private WireGuard VPN with PiVPN
It's actually not simple currently to use Tailscale as an exit node on GL.iNet routers (due to some conflict with mwan3). That's besides the fact that the cheaper routers in their lineup are not very performant and as a sibling mentioned, not capable of running Tailscale.
chabad360··on Richer UI install available for desktop
I'm not sure why having a screenshot is required but a description is optional. I would think you should be able to set either and that would enable the richer UI.

> Prime minister doing shenanigans via judiciary to give more power to prime minister

My understanding of the situation is more that the right has had many laws shot down consistently by the left leaning Israeli high court (equivalent to the supreme court in the US, except they choose their own judges, not the elected government). Recently, the right has come into a much stronger coalition (after numerous rounds of election over the past four years) and is now using the fact that they are unified enough to finally remove some (most?) of the power the court holds over the Knesset (parliament).

chabad360··on Phoenix Dev Blog – Streams
There is a port for Go: https://github.com/jfyne/live . However, the API is not nearly as clean and nice, and it's probably not as efficient as Phoenix either. But overall it's really made a number of applications much easier to build and it has allowed me to avoid mountains of JS.
chabad360··on High quality and consistent video style transfer with Stable Diffusion (video)
I modified the title from the original because it is in the click-bait YouTube format.
chabad360··on Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't (2019)
That's really not the case with C# or Go. C# has first class Linux support nowadays (minus GUI support) and using Go on windows is quite easy (I daily drive go on windows at work).
chabad360··on Why are TV Cameras still huge and expensive? (2019) [video]
In theory it could, but that would require the lens to store the parameters for that function(which I don't believe existing lenses do). And additionally it would require a lens with a focus motor and a zoom motor (or even just feedback, which most don't have).
chabad360··on Wine 8.0
It does indeed, look up yabridge. I have been able to do it almost entirely issue free for many plugins (and even better, I can still keep a low sample rate).
chabad360··on Ask HN: We found a cracked version of our software on the web, now what?
It's really not, Creative Cloud is the most pirated software suite in the world, and the company that makes it is almost universally hated by its customers.
chabad360··on Wizards of the Coast Trying to Retroactively Cancel OGL 1.0a
If this link can become the main one that would be fantastic, it's much more helpful than this forum link (@dang?)
chabad360··on Audi is converting all factories to produce EVs as it phases out gas cars
In a crisis, an ev is probably a pretty big waste of a generator, you need to keep your fridge and freezer on for literally as long as possible.
chabad360··on Stanford's “Elimination of Harmful Language” Initiative
But when is that definition coming up in IT documents?
chabad360··on The Gates of Argonath in VR at 50 FPS on Unreal Engine
Yes, but it's a bit hard to convince your boss to allow buying a lot of them (just 10 is already $900).
chabad360··on The Gates of Argonath in VR at 50 FPS on Unreal Engine
Yep, unreal is surprisingly efficient on the graphics side of things, but it also wants 70-something GB just to install and that's before it starts setting up the graphics cache which adds another 40 GB iirc.
chabad360··on Tailnet Lock
To be fair, the exploit chain was rather complex. Had it been more straight forward I'd be worried, but with the amount of pivoting required to make the exploit work it seems more like something even a security conscious developer could miss.
chabad360··on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab
Oh, oops that's a mistake, thanks for catching that.

Also, interesting fun fact indeed.

chabad360··on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab
At least according to the TFA, it seems that the breakthrough is that they got 2.5 mJ out vs. the 2.1 mJ that was used to power the laser.
chabad360··on Not-so-great features coming soon to Windows 11
Since the announcement of the Steam Deck, Valve has made various promises to work with the AC providers to bring support to Linux. So far they have brought support for Epic's EAC, and it seems they are working on bringing it for other titles as well.
chabad360··on Xiaomi’s humanoid drummer beats expectations?
For a robot that's not necessarily a problem, the bigger issue is that it's just terribly slow.
