I just mean that people mostly cite their 80s work, but they continued into the 2000s and 2010s.

It vaguely fits the original definition of computer hacking: poking around in code to improve an app or the system.

Also, Wiktionary is much better at nuanced meanings than mainstream dictionaries — continuing the tradition of the old Webster dictionary, which Wiktionary imported wholesale back in the day.

‘If you allow transgender women into women’s bathrooms, it will be a loophole for predators’

No need to talk about them in the very past tense.

Yello continued making music through the 2000s and 2010s. The album ‘Point’ from 2020 is pretty good, with ‘Waba Duba’ being the headlining track. The dudes’ knees are obviously not as spry as they once were, though.

In similar news, Sparks also continue to crank out bangers: see e.g. ‘Missionary Position’.

the fact that language is per post setting, hindering discovery.

Could you please elaborate on this a bit? It feels interesting for me, but I don’t quite see how the language setting impedes discovery.

One day Lemmy will learn about the multiocular ‘o’.

In fact, IPA for English used in England doesn’t match the actual pronunciations.

Afaik original WSL suffered from the fact that filesystem syscalls went through Windows’ APIs, which allow user-level third-party programs to plug in at many points — like path resolution, block access, etc. Which also involves switching the context between the kernel and userspace a bunch of times. File access patterns in Linux apps worked poorly with this. Plus Linux apps expect the filesystem to cache metadata, which Windows doesn’t seem to do.

Much of this is mitigated when file access on the Windows side is done by chucking blocks into and out of a virtual disk, and when a kernel with the whole caching thing is introduced.

I’m guessing such mismatch problems would crop up in other places too.

Funny thing: judging by the styling, that text might be from the documentation for Ansible, the declarative configuration manager. Well, you can’t run Ansible itself in Windows, you need a *nix vm, even if WSL — though you can control Windows machines via Ansible. Afaik the same is true for the popular alternatives Salt, Puppet and Chef.

(Though I couldn’t find the screenshotted page.)

Apparently the band WatchTower, in which Jarzombek was back in the day, invented technical-thrash in the eighties, together with Voivod and Coroner. Which genre begat technical-death, of course.

Also from another person’s comment here: Circuit Preacher’s ‘Heaven Can’t Heal’ — it’s more electronic rather than metal, but likewise evokes 90s popular industrial quite a bit. (The dude released a whole bunch of singles, but this is the only album.)

For people wondering what’s with all the @-mentions in the above comment: that’s how microblogging apps like Mastodon do replies. Though the person is on a Kbin instance, and idk how that service works.

Some alternative keyboards allow displaying autocorrect suggestions without replacing the input automatically. If you’re on Android and don’t use swipe-typing, you can try some open-source keyboards, e.g. from this list. (Swipe-typing is still pretty bad in open-source; and idk how the situation is on iPhone.)

Programmatically-inclined people can also likely do that with the Automate or Tasker apps, since presumably Buzzkill does its thing via the same APIs. As a bonus, the apps can do many other things.

(I recommend Automate: Tasker looks more compact at first glance, but its idioms are quite wacky, whereas Automate is pretty much regular programming, just visually organized. Plus, Automate doesn’t require buying more apps for more functionality, and doesn’t have advertising code in it. However, Automate can’t do custom dialogs and onscreen buttons, so in practice I occasionally use Tasker too.)

Nicely dodged a major bullet, apparently.

AMD’s first multicore CPUs were pretty much two single-core ones taped together. AMD didn’t bother designing the CPU such that it shared anything between the cores.

I worked in automotive electronics

But did you work with AUTOSAR?

That kind of shit is why I recheck things about five times before running such operations.
