  • Trump 'to review UK's claim to Falklands' in bombshell Iran punishment move

    Jump

  • Thatcher had to be genuinely talked down from using Nukes

    There are only two source I could find for any such claims. One is an interview with Michael Quinlan, former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, who claims that after the war ended Thatcher suggested to him that she would have considered using nuclear weapons if the war went badly enough. The other is this book by Mitterrands psychiatrist written ~20 years after the conflict. I only really think the interview is a credible source, and it sure doesn't sound like they genuinely had to talk her out of using nukes at any point.

  • If Wikipedia is to be believed these people aren't following Islamic rules. I'd wager that this is once again an issue that stems from traditions made for people of a different time. I assume slaughtering animals used to be a common skill but today expecting the average untrained city dwelling man to correctly slaughter a goat once a year inevitably leads to a lot of needlessly suffering animals.

  • Reddit banned Paul McCartney over phone-free concert photos post in their subreddit

    Jump

  • Yes that happens, for some reason that user actively goes to FuckAI and bans people who posted there. I can only assume that they see disdain for AI as a personal slight.

  • Should I teach students who doesn't know computer science C or JavaScript first?

    Jump

  • I would go for something like Processing for students who are just trying to learn a bit of programming as an extra credit. The JS implementation is called p5.js. I would introduce a little bit of C later in the course once the students are familiar with basic programming concepts. That way you can show them what is happening behind the scenes without overwhelming them from the start.

  • Martin Fowler: ORM Hate

    Jump

  • I consider the ORM hate uninformed and misguided at best. Just like any other technology not all of them are created equally there are better ones and worse ones. I have used Entity Framework Core for years and have almost no complaints but If I only knew ORMs like NHibernate then I might have a different opinion.

  • Microsoft is using AI slop to promote Windows 11 features, and it’s painfully obvious

    Jump

  • I love that even the hardcore Windows enthusiasts are despising Microsoft's AI slop.

  • Lutris is AI slop now

    Jump

  • Yes the mere existence of slop machines is totally forcing those developers to shit all over their painstakingly crafted creations and deliberately hiding it. Really hard to argue with that.

    If its such a bother to create something without supporting these fascist enabling and thieving cunts that are all AI companies, maybe they should consider not doing anything at all.

  • WTF, a banana is a berry!!?

    Jump

  • Aubergines, cucumbers, kiwi, and citrusfruit are botanical berries as well. The correct answer is that berry should be seen as a culinary term just like fruit and vegetable.

  • Microsoft Authenticator might exclude GrapheneOS in the future due to root detection

    Jump

  • The difference being that Motorola is a well established device manufacturer and not just a community project with minimal funding. Google using play integrity to exclude a competitor could be very easily seen as an abuse of market power and they already have problems with antitrust laws.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • No alternative codecs wont do, the application we are building has a hard dependency on these specific dlls due to another dependency requiring them. It was also just one example of many excuse my hyperbole. Here is another one, try to get winget to work with a local package cache. You have to go to some third party developer for that. Want another one? How about debugging windows binaries in an offline environment. Reasonable requirement? Microsoft says no.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • Why is this arbitrarily "a whole different story" and who said anything about UWP, it's the media codecs we depend on. Windows 10 N offered an offline installer for that "optional feature" and now Microslop makes my life more difficult for no reason at all.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • Ok, where can I download the Media Feature Pack for Windows 11 N as an offline installer?

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • At my job we are working with a few air gapped Windows machines which is already really annoying because Microslop doesn't offer offline installers for anything related to Windows 11 anymore. I expect this to get even more difficult over time.

  • We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch

    Jump

  • I never said that you can remove a license retroactively. A CLA is an assignment of copyright from the contributor to the company. The only reason for a company to add a CLA to a project is to put a rug under the project which they will pull as soon as they gained a critical mass of users. It fundamentally undermines the social contract of open source development. These companies want to enjoy all the benefits of open source, like the market appeal and the free labour, but none of the drawbacks. A CLA is just one thing, a promise that the project will go non-free in the future.

  • We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch

    Jump

  • Let me introduce you to the magical concept of the CLA. It means they can do whatever they want with the project but you can not. You should never contribute to CLA projects.

  • Is it possible to develop Firefox browser extensions without writing JavaScript / TypeScript?

    Jump

  • Yes its kind of possible with F# and Fable. I did it a few years ago. I say kind of because its still transpiling to javascript.
