At least you can pick the color filter to apply to the ending.

Fastest, most effective and also illegal. Unless you use AI to do it I guess, then it is fine to hack people.

You can do plenty (like view port size) via just CSS.

And the types in general differ in size as well. Type-4 cable physically does not fit into Type-5 PSU (well, reading this thread, this probably saved me from burned system...)

To be fair, the full quote is

> I can’t tell you what to post or not post, but if you could refrain from posting anything until my investigation is over, I would appreciate it.

emphasis mine, given that, "The detective urged the victim not post about it" seems like taking things bit out of context.

I wonder how it handles pylint's plugins.

Unlikely, most players postpone their service as long as possible, and majority does not play professionally again after completing it.

So, fork the action repository and pull from upstream at your own pace?

While faster Emacs would always be nice, I think the idea is you just keep it running. Hence emacsclient program. So startup time is not such a big deal.
Finding a licensed therapist, especially one covered by health insurance, who takes new patients, can be a challenge in some areas. So while it obviously is a bad idea, I can hardly blame people in a bad place looking for at least some help.
That should be prevented by dnssec no?

I mean, this is a solvable problem...

Re:I don't care how well your "AI" works on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @06:39PM (#46063584)
Fair. My "information" is based on what I heard in my network. :)
Re:I don't care how well your "AI" works on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @06:43AM (#46056447)
Well, speaking just for central Europe, it is pretty average. Sure, entry-level positions are different story, but anyone with at least few years for work experience can find reasonably payed job fairly quickly.
Interesting, that number is much higher than I would expect.

Look, I get that some pages require javascript, but

    <style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style>
which is then unset by JS, with no <noscript> anywhere, is just... I just get white page.

Changing it to

    <style class="fallback">body{white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:monospace}</style>
gives perfectly readable web, so it seem bit... pointless.
Huh, I had no idea the <profile> argument to -P is optional (--help does not say), I was always using --ProfileManager instead. Nice quality of life improvement, thanks for the information!

I do not believe that is dang's point. He often posts comments like these under recurring posts, I assume in hope that the past discussions could also be of interest to the readers.
Re:Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change on Friday October 24, 2025 @03:53PM (#45698458)
Well yes, but the complication is that Luca is both systemd developer and debian developer, so the passing of the baton did not really happen here.
Re:Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change on Friday October 24, 2025 @03:52PM (#45698445)
Funny part is that it used to be a separate file system, before Luca decided to kill it. https://lwn.net/Articles/1041948/
Re:Element: SetHTML() Method on MDN on Thursday October 23, 2025 @07:39AM (#45680700)
I did not notice setHTMLUnsafe exists. That makes it (in my, unimportant, opinion) fine.
Re:Element: SetHTML() Method on MDN on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @05:16PM (#45675241)
> It then removes any HTML entities that aren't allowed by the sanitizer configuration, and further removes any XSS-unsafe elements or attributes — whether or not they are allowed by the sanitizer configuration.

Emphasis mine. I do not understand this design choice. If I explicitly allow `script` tag, why should it be stripped?

If the method was called setXSSSafeSubsetOfHTML sure I guess, but feels weird for setHTML to have impossible-to-override filter.

Re:Pwning the Entire Nix Ecosystem on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @12:57PM (#45595440)
Well, anything POSIX or GNU does support the --. I think most golang libraries as well? And if the program does not, you can always pass the files as relative paths (./--help) to work around that.

For sure though, this can get tricky, but I am not really aware of an alternative. :/ Since the calling convention is just an array of strings, there is no generic way to handle this without knowing what program you are calling and how it handles command line. This is not specific to xargs...

Well, I guess FFI would be a way, but it seems like a major PITA to have to figure out how to call a golang function from bash shell just to "call" a program.

So, uh, this part "Here's the kicker: the URL died exactly 24 hours later. These guys weren't messing around - they had their infrastructure set up to burn evidence fast." was completely made up by the AI or did you provide the "exactly 24 hours later" information out of band in some chat with the AI?
Re:Pwning the Entire Nix Ecosystem on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @10:36AM (#45593291)
> It is not possible for xargs to be used securely

Eh... That is taken out of context quite a bit, that sentence does continue. Just do `cat "$HOME/changed_files" | xargs -r editorconfig-checker --` and this specific problem is fixed.

One question if you have a minute. Why is it アメリカだけに吹き替えされている instead of 英語だけに吹き替えされている?

> being told who they can marry

I consider this somewhat unfortunate example, since we, as a society, are putting limits on this very thing. For example age, or species. How is that supposed to work if people are not allow to debate and express their opinions on where those limits are supposed to be?

Similar with the health care. What is covered and what is not, and who has to pay and who has it (almost) free, should very much be up for a debate. Otherwise, how do you improve anything?
