  • I wonder how the REM is weighted. If it were balanced at both ends, I bet people could do cool tricks with it.

  • Ooh! Thanks for the tip! Been looking for some affordable drives for my next system.

    I bought a LFF Dell Poweredge back in the fall, and have been waiting on a good deal for 3.5" disks. My current machine is a SFF HP Proliant, and I hate how much a 2.5" drive with good capacity costs.

  • Inscryption is a video game where you play cards against dark and insidious opponents. Outside of the story about your character and their opponents, there's a super-story about a someone who found a mysterious floppy disk with Inscryption on it, told through video clips.

  • Reminds me of an early Uni project where we had to operate on data in an array of 5 elements, but because "I didn't teach it to everyone yet" we couldn't use loops. It was going to be a tedious amount of copy-paste.

    I think I got around it by making a function called "not_loop" that applied a functor argument to each element of the array in serial. Professor forgot to ban that.

  • Yay orphaned packages

    Jump

  • In this context, orphaned doesn't always mean you should remove it. It just means that nobody in AUR is taking responsibility to keep it updated. You still might have other packages from the AUR that depend on this one.

    Since it is unmaintained, basically anyone can now claim ownership of that package in the AUR and push updates for it. Theoretically, someone could try to distribute malware in this way.

    This is why it's important to check the diffs of your AUR updates.

  • KDE plasma -> discover context menu -> "update" doesnt work

    Jump

  • It could be a firmware update. I noticed on my machine that there was always one update in the discover program that appeared as ready but never got installed.

    Turns out I had to manually run fwupdmgr update to install it.

  • I've never seen Mille used in reference to money. Only in advertising (eg CPM = cost per mille = cost per thousand ad impressions)

    But to answer your question, the original Bloomberg article says 60 million.

  • Google Pulls the Plug: The End of Third-Party Cookies and What it Means | TWiT.TV

    Jump

  • Despite what the length of their privacy policies might suggest, first party sites are a lot stingier with their user data now than they've been in the past. The value of knowing who someone is and what they want is derived when you convince them to pull out a credit card, at which point you need to collect their data anyway.

    Thus, I think we'll see two tiers of data collection: Deep first-party info shared between retailers and data brokers to target advertising on their first party site, and less granular banner advertising based on privacy sandbox, taking the place of drive-by cookie drops. If privacy sandbox is as good for random blogs as industry is expecting (ie, not as perfect as third party cookies, but less impactful than Apple's ITP was), I don't think we will see a wave of email signups.

  • Google Pulls the Plug: The End of Third-Party Cookies and What it Means | TWiT.TV

    Jump

  • I don't quite understand the leap from "No third party cookies" to "You need to create an account".

    If you're visiting a site and they drop a cookie, that's a first party cookie. You don't need to log in for that to happen, and they can track you all the same. Taking identifiers from a first party cookie and passing them to advertisers will still be a thing, it'll just require closer coordination between the site and the advertiser than if the advertiser dropped their own cookie.

    Now yes, that first party cookie won't follow you around to other websites and track your behavior there, but creating an account wouldn't enable this anyway. Besides, Google's Privacy Sandbox product suite is intended to fill this role in a less granular way (associating k-anonymized ids with advertising topics across websites).

  • Sorry, what's .Net again?

    The runtime? You mean .Net, or .Net Core, or .Net Framework? Oh, you mean a web framework in .Net. Was that Asp.Net or AspNetcore?

    Remind me why we let the "Can't call it Windows 9" company design our enterprise language?

  • I guess it would depend on whether or not the project spawns a dedicated community that lasts for a long time. Without a wide pool of knowledgeable contributors, I think it would be hard for an original team to both support the one design while also developing the next iteration.

    Not to bring it up as a whipping boy, but let's take the case of Wayland, which is "just" a software protocol. It was started back in 2008, and is still under active development. As more projects support it, more edge cases are coming up, which is why new features are added to the protocol all the time. In those 15 years, they've had to adjust to technologies that didn't exist back in 2008, like widespread adoption of 4k HDR displays, or Vulkan. Now imagine that, but with every aspect of a computer. In 2008, DDR3 RAM was just a year old. Today we're on DDR5 and you (probably) can't buy a new machine that takes DDR3. PCIE 2 was the latest shit in 2007. Now I see that PCIE 7 is planned for next year.

    A global corporation can support old products while also developing new technologies because they have unfathomable labor and capital at their beck and call.

    I think that free software can keep up with proprietary offerings because the barrier to entry is relatively low. You just need free time and a source control client. I think it would be different if your project toolchain involved literal tools that cost millions of dollars.
