Sweden has been sharing info with its neighbours and the US for a long time. See SIGINT Seniors Europe for example
Re:Embedded Swift on the Raspberry Pi Pico on Wednesday March 06, 2024 @12:23AM (#39612612)
It’s barely usable on Apple platforms. Horrible compiler and Xcode is very buggy. Segfaults and error report dialog popups.
Apple Watch is a flop. It's not delivered on anything other than being a good fitness tracker.

And then you need 3700 lines of Cargo.lock to make sure that those 15 lines of Cargo.toml actually does work

Discounting all the power consumed planting, growing, cutting down and delivery of the logs to the power generator.
Re:Microsoft is to enable Rust use for Windows 11 kernel on Friday April 28, 2023 @10:41AM (#35741834)
Certainly. Having requirements set in stone helps rewriting any code base. They probably get more time for optimization with the language handling a lot of the security and correctness issues as well as future changes.
Re:Amazon’s quiet open source revolution on Monday April 24, 2023 @10:47AM (#35688303)
Having to pay for hosting an open source product? Isn’t Amazon doing what they should in this case where a company tries to block any competition.
Re:De-Stressing Booking.com on Sunday April 16, 2023 @12:28PM (#35591474)
Booking.com has no customer support. They’ll happily fuck you over and not respond to any attempts to contact them.
Usually you can just get an agreement with the employer to leave sooner. Three months might enough time to hire someone and have some limited handover, but better than nothing.
Having some kind of device key that will trigger a pop up similar to the SSH host verification on the first connection would be better. No spam every time I connect the phone to charge it and getting a dialog for MITM attempts.

Hope they fix the temperature widget as well. Temperatures below zero are common outside Cupertino.

You can use Method Handles now for better performance in a lot of cases
Same as every major release? Accept the xcode bojo and continue?
Old macOS versions were usually extremely buggy. People have just forgotten this
Less wood they need to import as well
X11 without WM was fine on 2.x as well on 8 MB ram. Loading fvwm or whatever I was using ended up with endless swapping.

The church lost a lot of their influence as well.

Re:A one in a million bug in Switch kernel on Wednesday March 23, 2022 @05:51AM (#30776758)
Or, hopefully, they are releasing a new Switch with more cores and it manifested it self more often on that hardware. :)
Re:Russia to legalize software piracy on Monday March 07, 2022 @08:37AM (#30587553)
Guessing Russia is not taking a stand against IP or copyright at all. Just making it legal for them to steal from non-Russian owners. Don’t think they will remove copyright for Russian creators.

Well most people here are binary. Killing people and believing in astrology or homeopathy or whatever are not comparable. It’s not about good or bad. It’s about basic human morals and rights.
