TextMate language grammars, the de facto standard for syntax highlighting, are defined in terms of regular expressions that must be matched using Oniguruma's engine for compatibility—TextMate itself used Oniguruma, and its quirks have become an implicit part of the standard. I wonder if the project will be forked to fix things like security issues given its wide use in this context.
By stopping at "advocating" rather than doing the dirty political work to actually implement things like good health care. We are told what we want is impossible due to some rule or another only to watch the GOP ignore or work around the same rule in service of their cruel agenda.
I hope whatever post-Trump Democratic Party that forms in the next few years will take the idea of abolishing ICE seriously. The institution has been rotten since it was founded.
Thanks, I've updated it to include role='link'. I do agree that it's probably a losing battle, but I thought I'd write up this idea anyway in case it was useful to anyone as a mitigation.
Can civilization work without social compulsion? I think our fear that it can’t, or our belief that the only way to compel people is the threat of punishment, is what keeps these dynamics alive.
Any layout system that modifies the DOM currently has to be careful not to touch certain elements (like focused text fields) if possible. Preserving state means you could treat these elements like any other, rebuilding the DOM out from underneath them as you please.
By putting all the sprites on one horizontal line in the top “border”, the demo also proves it’s not using any of the standard tricks to fake extra sprites. The only thing that the C64 will draw up there are real sprites (not character/bitmap graphics), and you can’t multiplex sprites in the same horizontal line of pixels.
It's not "histrionics"; they tried it last time and they'll try it again. This time they seem more organized, so I wouldn't be surprised if they succeed. If you care about the US remaining a functioning democracy, you should work in whatever way you can toward removing the current administration from power.
This type of political movement always claims to be against the exact things they’re for. They claim to be against censorship while using their actual influence to do things like forcing TikTok to change their moderation policy. They claim to want to protect children while putting child abusers in positions of power. It gives members of the movement an easy way to deflect criticism and express their feelings of grievance—don’t you know we hate censorship, and anyway it’s you who was censoring us! It’s only fair for you to feel a little of that pain that we feel!
BTW if you want to learn how to put stuff on the screen without any display server on modern Linux, the kmscube example project is a great starting point: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/kmscube
The US government generally works to maintain harmful institutions like health insurance, gun manufacturing, prisons and policing, etc., and will oppose me through violence if I work to weaken these. They can restrict my access to things online and control what online services I can run via laws like SESTA/FOSTA and this TikTok ban. China can't do any of that to me. I'm less concerned about geopolitics given our massive military and the position of the dollar, not to mention our cultural influence via the Internet (which bans like this directly weaken).
I honestly believe the answer is China—by living in the US, its interests and my own are more likely to come into conflict, whereas China’s interests are more likely irrelevant to me.
As someone who likes C header files, I enjoy manually maintaining them. Designing the interface separately from the implementation feels good to me, and a well-structured .h file is nicer to read than any auto-generated docs I've encountered.
It’s not totally clear, but it could be talking about CPU load in particular, which has some problems as described in https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.10172.
In fact, home-screen web apps on iPhone OS predate third-party apps on the platform. Originally all third-party software was going to be installed this way.
The core idea seems to be putting visual parameters in a single place that can be shared across platforms. That way you can tweak the design everywhere without having to edit N different platform-specific implementations.
This was my entry to the Ludum Dare 31 game jam—the theme was “entire game on one screen”. The original page can be found here (maybe I should link to this rather than the cracked version on my site…): https://web.archive.org/web/20150106204654/http://ludumdare....
What is it you’re trying to get out of reading these types of articles? In my experience, it’s hard to really retain info unless I’m actively working on a related problem, so reading something like this out of the blue is mostly just entertainment (and a way to check existing knowledge).
I don't think either platform is going to "win" in the sense of reaching the size and influence of Twitter, but both will hopefully be more resilient than Twitter was.
In practice, these systems get stronger rather than imploding. Any failure becomes a justification for more power that they can use to "prevent this from ever happening again". A system that ran smoothly and never had issues wouldn't be able to grow like this (and might even shrink as people start to take it for granted).
