Many of those who can't be bothered to write what they publish probably can't be bothered to read it themselves, either. Not by humans and certainly not for humans.
Someone always points out how Doom wasn't "real 3D" like it's some sort of gotcha. Games are smoke and mirrors, it's all a 2D grid of pixels at the end.
Glad to see the Garden is back! This and Spoono were some of my favorite websites back when CSS-driven web design was bleeding edge and people were just starting to use lots of nested divs instead of lots of nested tables. The book was nice too.
I wanted to renew some domains with Gandi yesterday, and noticed that their prices increased a lot this year. This Reddit post is the only article I could find about it.
.com/.net/.org/.dev are all around $40/year to renew now, up from about $25 six months ago.
Tooling and code generation improvements no doubt help a lot, but IMO those improvements must be coupled with creative manual optimizations in order to get something like this out of a platform that was tailored for rectangular 2D bitmaps.
The 4A doesn't get security updates anymore though, right? The language on the website says "guaranteed until at least August 2023" so I guess it's up to Google's good will.
> I say buy the latest MacBook, expense it, factor it in as a monthly cost. These are expendable and essential tools. They pay for themselves
Yay, another top comment that steamrolls the posted article. I say don't buy the latest Macbook: instead repair, refurbish, and get true lifetime use out of these expensive devices. They're expensive to manufacture, expensive to buy, and expensive for our planet and people to just throw them away every year.
Thank you for your service defending the hot product of a profitable company against the criticism of everyday people, it's wonderful to have someone standing up for what is right.
Bingo, you should never pass arbitrary strings where they could be used as format specifiers, it's like running arbitrary code. Some compilers even issue warnings when you pass non-literal format strings to the printf family.
Why treat it like cash when it's not cash, but a digital service pushed by banks? There will always be scum that abuse a system, but the way it is now the odds are stacked against honest people.
It doesn't have to be something egregious like the Nigerian Prince. It could be a Craigslist concert tickets deal where you pay in advance and never hear from the "seller" again. Why be callous to innocent victims? Unlike cash, Zelle is a digital system that could provide some protections for all parties involved, like the option to file a dispute.
