I was surprised that some birds can fly even higher. There is a record of Rüppell's vulture at 11+ kilometers altitude.
Why was it using asbestos?
You are avoiding the point and sound almost like Putin's propaganda, so it's a waste of time.
You can't excuse sitting on two chairs with "it's politics" anyway. Collaborating with Nazis is collaborating with Nazis. Putin's buddies don't make the world a better place, that's for sure.
Wine can run 16-bit Windows programs so it has better backwards compatibility than Windows itself.
Not funny. Change Putin's Russia there to Nazi Germany and re-read what you said. Laughing still?
Pretty sure this is a yes / no thing. No excuses.
Having basically a modern Nazi state as an important ally is a huge problem, which is exactly what I'm pointing out. I assume it's based on corruption, which is essentially another way to describe statesmen without values (i.e. he is willing to profit from Putin).
Calling out is just a PR thing, he still has dealings with Putin as you say. I.e. as above, trying to sit on two chairs.
He wants to sit on both chairs, benefiting from Putin and pretending he is not pro-Putin. It doesn't work that way.
Yeah, soviets were imperialists as bad as they come, and modern Russia isn't any better. One must be really dumb to buy into such propaganda.
Back then may be access to information was harder, but there is no excuse today.
Being in his pocket is never smart. Europe learned it the hard way and still didn't even fully get rid of his gas blackmailing.
So how does that make them support imperialist Putin? No logic there unless it's all about corruption as above, which is almost always the case with Putin's puppets.
What's his deal with being pro-Putin? Kind of weird unless it's the usual corruption.
I prefer GOG. You buy it, it's yours.
You mean progress to make the framework faster itself?
I was asking about something else, i.e. basically saving whatever possible from those expensive computations on disk, so next time it starts, it can spend significantly less time (assuming things didn't change too much). clangd has such feature and it's super helpful.
Or you mean Salsa already supports such persistent caching in some form?
Somewhat indirectly related, but is there any progress on implementing persistent caching in rust-analyzer? It would really benefit from faster startup times.
It might break or it might not. If it breaks - things can be figured out as you said. But the alternative is to wait on the site for who knows how long and in the end - it's not usable during that time anyway. I'd say not waiting just gives you more options.
Concrete example. Let's say GitHub will add AVIF support at some point (it's not yet handled well by the site as you can notice[1].
You as user can then upload AVIF images to wherever images on the site are processed. And after that, let's say when newer codec inside AVIF will get a good browser coverage, you'll be able to start using it without waiting another decade for GitHub to pipe it through their site code.
For formats without a container, it's always a two step process. Browser coverage first, then another huge period of sites support catching up.

Possibly, but as above, a much slower problem to solve is not in the browser support, but in sites support. Browsers in practice move way faster.
It's not mandatory, and it would work without using it. The whole point is for forward compatibility support effect for sites which are very slow introducing these kind of changes.
You didn't get the point of the post. I explained why and how container matters here. Not a specific container, but just the idea of container itself. Hint, it's not the browser.
I don't think so. WebM doesn't need new content type and it can ship AV1 and VP9 all the same.
I think one overlooked aspect is that AVIF is container based. Meaning that once sites support, when AV2, AV3 etc. will come out, there won't be a need to go through another very difficult phase of sites adoption - it will still be AVIF just with newer codec inside, and it will be just up to browsers to catch up on newer versions and newer codecs will address technical needs as times goes.
JPEG XL doesn't have that benefit, while sites adoption is arguably a worse issue than browser adoption.
To demonstrate the point even for AVIF itself - it has been in the browsers for a while. Can you use it on common sites? Good luck if you can, even major sites like GitHub and GitLab have issues with it due to some site code depending on hardcoded list of known formats or other similar problems.
I guess Ukraine has more work to do to cull the trolls.
Sure, if they are actively pushing for that, it's bad. But otherwise passkeys are OK. It's a neat way to use private / public key pair instead of a dummy password.
> What’s important to know is that unlike with any other kind of login credential, you do not have ultimate control over your passkeys.Use proper password managers, like keepassxc. Then you have control. But problem is that not all sites support that. If you can't use the above - then yes, passkeys are bad, especially if they become mandatory.
I think it's a combination of it's done to a degree and comfort + habit.
Let's say there are areas to improve still, but introducing anything new requires investment of time to learn it, breaking habits and giving discomfort. Even if it eventually starts paying off, it can cause a push back naturally. So it's really hard to do it right, may be only very gradually? Surely not like Gnome tried to do it.
Some direct comparison with such idea could be let's say a suboptimal keyboard layout and more optimal ones that are barely used.
I personally stick with KDE exactly because "it just works well enough" and its flexibility at the same time.
Nah, I don't buy it. There is room for assembly usage, yes, but the claim that it's the only way to do things is clearly false and compilers from high level languages in most cases are enough.
Why does the loop mean halt in that embedded case example?
