made you look
Git itself (Or any other VCS for that matter) really should treat symlinks as special, similar as to how btrfs stores everything as “reflinks” internally. They be stored as special references to other tracked objects (so it’d be impossible to commit a symlink that pointed at anything other than a checked-in file, and ensure they always match), and git can materialise them as needed.

There’s always this option, could even include something like it in the box.
You need to have an account for parental controls to be applied to, kids aren’t allowed an account, vis-a-vis, no more parental controls or monitoring for problem content.
Except that YT hides pretty much everything interesting behind a login wall these days.
I tried to listen to a Daft Punk song yesterday in a private tab and was blocked.
We’ve got shovels and we are in a big hole … which way are we going to dig?
Windows Terminal is the terminal emulator that hosts the shell (cmd or PowerShell, or anything else really). It’s the modern replacement for “conhost”.
It’s also a fantastic app, some of the devs are on Mastodon too.
Pretty sure that’s just high-frequency trading.
This behavior is actually in line with what I’d expect, as Unicode support in Windows predates UTF-16, so Windows generally does not handle surrogate pairs and instead operates almost exclusively on WTF-16 code units directly.
So it’s just straight UCS-2, and the software does enforce that, pretty much the opposite of “WTF-16”.
Edit: Pretty sure “modern” (XP+ I think) Windows actually does enforce UTF-16 validity in the system, but there’s always legacy stuff from the NT4/2K era that might turn up.
Webp is a smaller file size than jpeg for the same image quality in almost all circumstances
For lower quality images sure, for high quality ones JPEG will beat it (WebP, being an old video format, only supports a quarter of the colour resolution than JPEG does, etc.) JPEG is actually so good that it still comes out ahead in a bunch of benchmarks, it’s just it’s now starting to show it’s age technology wise (like WebP, it’s limited to 8bpc in most cases)
It also doesn’t hurt that Google ranked sites using WebP/AVIF higher than ones that aren’t (via lighthouse).
Edit: I should clarify, this is the lossy mode. The lossless mode gives better compression than PNG, but is still limited to 8bpc, so can’t store high bit depth, or HDR images, like PNG can.
Edit 2: s/bpp/bpc/
Well, all websites are written in JS (on the frontend)
Not true anymore unfortunately, some sites are using frameworks compiled to WASM instead.
e.g. X is apparently using Yew now.
Edit: Ok the “apparently” is doing heavy lifting, since now I can’t find the original source I read about it. Turns out “X” is a garbage name with no searchability, only an idiot would use it.
That’d at least make sense, this is a (literal) black box. Seriously, my monitor takes long enough to wake that it’s at the boot loader screen by the time it’s ready.
I found a post on Reddit claiming it’s a RAM thing, and I should enable XMP to avoid it. But I’ve already got XMP enabled so I need to poke around it again.
And also disable the 5 second delay in the bootloader, not like I’m ever using that fallback option.
❯ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 14.565s (firmware) + 5.778s (loader) + 2.920s (kernel) + 3.307s (initrd) + 3.972s (userspace) = 30.544s
graphical.target reached after 3.926s in userspace.
You’re letting me down firmware!
Yeah, the Python equivalent would be something like this.
try:
config = get_config()
catch:
sys.exit(1)
It’s possible to handle these things, but if you explicitly don’t then you’ll discover them at runtime.
Going by the store page, the frame is using UFS, aka a hardwired SSD.
Yeah, it’s got 256GB or 1TB of internal storage, so you can just use the microSD card to move the game from i.e. the deck to the frame.
These days a steam console would be much more attractive.
And you’re right, I want one.
I’m still annoyed that “OPAQUE” never seemed to catch on. Uses a username/password combo as normal, but never actually sends the password to the server, only a proof of knowledge. Even if the server is hacked and the DB leaked the attackers can’t actually recover anything resembling a password from it, since the server simply never possesses it.
Passkeys are superior (No password at all), if only the UX around them was better.
Skeleton propped up on a toilet, with a house of cards balanced on my lap somehow that only falls apart when disturbed by a human and nothing else.
Windows doesn’t even have basic package management like every Unix-like OS does so you don’t have to individually update applications and go find them on the Internet
Funny thing is that it does (winget), but it’s a terminal app. Windows users who look down on Linux users for “needing” to use a terminal don’t want to bring it up, so Linux users also aren’t aware of it and never point to it as a counter example.
They had the “Steam Machine”, but effectively nobody bought it. Maybe now with the Deck people would be more open to it, who knows.
If you detach the origin from the host it’d work, aka HTTP Alternative Services. Firefox used to (maybe still does? idk) use it to silently switch from using the base hostname to a hidden service when running under Tor, when the site provided the mapping.
Clearnet stuff would work without it, but any I2P/Tor support needs server integration, which would be non-existent at the moment I’d bet.
