Re:Upcoming Critical PHP Security Release on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @03:02AM (#50177053)
PHP as it is desperately needed the speedups in the 7 and 8 series releases to be relevant, performance loss of that magnitude is simply not going to be accepted anywhere
That is not a pure upgrade, GPL may well be the "better" / safer / trusted /... option for some

Cloud flare taking a strong anti ai scraping stance. Then turning around and acquiring an AI hosting service also feels contradictory

Re:Gnome / mutter triple buffering patch merged on Wednesday March 19, 2025 @03:41AM (#43409178)
You probably got served an Anubis challenge first, doing some computations to block (LLM) scraper bots, which does slow down loading by a second or so

And halfway down the page background becomes bright pink for me??
#1 destroys peoples willingness to publish and unfairly hogs bandwidth / creates costs for small hosters

#2 makes a big corp a bit angry

Indeed not the same thing

PWA's just got a callout in the OP, freshly supported since this year
Re:DB48X: High Performance Scientific Calculator, Reinvented on Monday November 04, 2024 @02:28PM (#42045182)
Is there a significant difference between that package and SageMath / XCas / Octave and friends? While a bit arcane, I've always been a great fan of xcas

Indeed, but listing LaTeX as "No scripting" seems odd at best

The rather mild water resistance on that model always has me doubting..
Re:A Lufthansa A350's frustrating Oakland diversion on Wednesday December 20, 2023 @03:42AM (#38706600)
The flightplans get shared and updated with every involved area. Usually those can say no ahead of time and always at the time of airspace entry (entering US airspace for example) What checks the FAA does to those plans, I doubt we'll ever know

> Are controllers expected to....

Yes. Yes they are

Now granted there is usually a second planner controller that does not talk to traffic but is responsible for looking ahead, perhaps that was affected by the shortage

Re:Casio fx-CG50 calculator comes with Python built-in on Monday October 30, 2023 @02:40AM (#38066358)
I think he just means it comes with all the functions of the calculator, that there's nothing the calculator can do that python can't
I thought most of the alternatives used summary as a title and description as a body, which is how we've been writing it as well? Or am I out of wack here?

Yup it's electron, even sometimes prompts me to "use the app" while using the app... anyway that thing is getting deprecated anyway
Re:WiFi without internet on a Southwest flight on Thursday September 28, 2023 @04:25PM (#37695329)
Relies very strongly on simple airgapping. Can't do anything to it if there's no wires in the direction you want. Can't remotely hack if there's nothing antenna connected that can talk to flight control. It has the luxury of not needing to do the "limited RCE" that is a modern web request

Re:LaTeX for publishing tabletop role-playing games on Monday September 18, 2023 @01:48AM (#37552664)
I think the parent means that RPG styling in his KeenWrite system would take some elbow grease, not LaTeX
Re:Oscilloscope Watch Ships After 10 Years on Kickstarter on Tuesday September 05, 2023 @02:50AM (#37388668)
I don't think your issue is super uncommon, I experience it myself, as does most of my family. Unless all of us share an undiagnosed condition of course

Are you just casually degrading an entire continent? Impressive
Re:Discord’s username change is causing discord on Saturday May 06, 2023 @02:30PM (#35844024)
Am I missing something with regard to the abuse here? I don't see how this is worse for impersonation than the current famousPerson#8392 and famousPerson#8292 where nobody ever remembers those four digits?

Re:Europe pushing for lunar time zone on Thursday March 02, 2023 @05:47AM (#34994283)
Probably, but even Windows would break in this scenario. It interprets the hardware clock as being in local time and derives UTC from that (you can change that with a registry change, but it isn't very reliable in my experience)
Re:I still have an old-school cert on my HTTPS site on Wednesday January 04, 2023 @01:59AM (#34242869)
If you're talking about the "saner" service OP talks about at the end, I read that as 90 days and then you have to start paying
Re:Ask HN: Developer abused “sign in with GitHub”? on Friday December 09, 2022 @02:59AM (#33918832)
Some do, some don't. That said, I haven't said a option to reject scopes on any of the big oauth providers
You get it by killing the Ender Dragon, which pretty much everyone does at some point? If you want to go exploring End Cities and get Elytra, you need to kill it to get back home
With buttplug.io (the author) you can already do that. Maybe not IFTT, but you can definitely automate them however you like

And mostly, you have to put a mug under it. But now he doesn't rely on Delonghi supporting their app anymore
