We used to drive bicycles when we were children. Then we started driving cars. Bicycles have two wheels, cars have four. Eight wheels seems to be the logical next step, why don't we drive eight-wheel vehicles?
Edit: it appears the PWA support in Firefox is not ideal, see responses to this comment.
Chromium is not an offshoot of Chrome, it's more of a precursor to Chrome, and it is completely controlled by Google. As such, it will also drop support for extensions that do not support Manifest v3.
If you want to enable PWA support in Firefox, it looks like this is possible (however the experience doesn't seem to be great, see responses to this comment): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Installing

Despite this design, it is possible to write useful programs.
Interestingly, this applies to C++ too.

There are two ways to create a resume today. One option is to use a resume template, such as an office/google doc, and customize it according to your needs. The other option is to use a resume builder, an online tool that allows you to input your information and automatically generates a resume for you.
Using a resume template requires manual formatting work, like copying and pasting text sections and adjusting spacing, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.
Me just using LaTeX[1] with hundreds of templates[2] with no formatting problems for 18 years now...
Install GnuCash, learn accounting, and start tracking your money and use proper financial language. There is a lot of good financial advice out there (budgeting, investments, debt reduction), and all of that is much more efficient if a) you know where your money goes and where it comes from, b) you are proficient with financial software, and c) you can talk to the banks in their own language.
that one unit in Civilization you forgot about and never upgraded in 500 years
Bathroom mirrors that don't steam up after taking a shower.
Vending machines that are competent at accepting cash. Everywhere else that I've been to, you have to smoothen the bill and make sure it has no wrinkles or bended corners, and even then the machine would sometimes give you a hard time. In Japan, you just insert a stack (!) of bills, and the machine will count them within seconds, and also give you change in bills, and not a gazillion of coins.
Gates at the train stations are also better than everywhere else. You don't have to wait for the person in front of you to pass the gate, you just insert your ticket and go. You also don't need to look for arrows or notches or whatever on the ticket to insert it correctly.
Electric kettles that are very quiet and keep the water hot for a very long time.
Trains where all seats face the front, so you don't have to sit against the direction of travel.
They call Japan itself "Nihon", so what do they know... /s

Awesome! Will definitely check it out. In case you haven't seen it, here's a nice collection of tips for indie game devs: https://develop.games
(I realize this reads as a bot comment, lol, but that's a genuine tip, and that website isn't even monetised as far as I know).
Advent of Code is a fun collection of programming challenges ranging from trivial to moderate. It starts every year in December (obviously), but all the past challenges are still available: https://adventofcode.com/
DCSS[1] would alone probably take five years to master.
Dwarf Fortress (although I haven't really played it myself yet).
And, of course, Factorio, that with existing mods has probably enough content for the rest of my life.
If you wanted to support all possible drivers, you would basically need to rewrite the entire kernel. You could make one specific anticheat work by supporting its specific calls, but this will take a lot of work, and will probably be broken with the first ever update.
In the past there were projects that supported specific types of drivers, such as ndiswrapper, but that had a very limited scope.

OP, next time I have this, I'll remember this meme, start laughing while choking, suffocate to death and it will be your fault.
I would try magick identify from imagemagick. If that doesn't work, I would try strings just to see if it has any metadata at all. Cameras usually store their model name somewhere.
Plastic wrapping that's easy to open.
This is obviously fake, but I wouldn't doubt thousands of such bots actually exist.
Quantum encryption isn't something quantum computers can even do. It's not just transforming bits into other bits, it's about building entirely new security properties based on physical properties of matter.
So, even if it is interesting for end users, they would need dedicated hardware anyway.
The bot account itself. It appears to have been merely trolling, and the article seems to think it's actually a bot.
Because he testified against the entire city's worth of mafia?
Absolutely! I'm just wondering if everyone has that one language in their hearts :)
The "15 to 17" part is worded somewhat confusingly, but it's not wrong.
The number of bits contained in a double is equivalent to ~15.95 decimal digits. If you want to store exactly a decimal number with a fixed number of significant digits, floor(15.95) = 15 digits is the most you can hope for. However, if you want to store exactly a double by writing it out as a decimal number, you need 17 digits.
One problem with that is that you will end up with two EFI partitions. This is not supported very well by anything, really, so you will run the risk of Windows messing with the wrong partition anyway.
Sounds like atop is exactly what you need.

I don't think it's overhyped, at least I've never heard anyone hyping it up so much. I would be happy to recommend you other books if you want :)
I also don't think it's a big deal if you didn't like the book. I don't think even Knuth himself would be upset, really.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but that estimate could have been wrong by a factor of 10 easily. The idea of an "average video" being 50MB, for example, is questionable: at typical bitrates of 1080p videos this would amount to about a minute-long video. I don't think that's an average video at all. It also doesn't account for many things, for example the cost of replicating new videos to the CDN.
I also don't find the idea of YouTube not being profitable ridiculous or hilarious. YouTube definitely wasn't profitable before monetisation, and Google used to run it for prestige and data collection purposes at a financial loss. They clearly have been trying to make it more profitable, but whether or not they have crossed the break-even point in the past or are still hoping to cross it in the future is not as clear to me as it is to you.
yes, calling it a heist specifically is extremely colourful in the wrong way
I'm not sure what a "music jukebox" is, and how it's different from a music player, but I would recommend to try mpd. It should work with your collection, although I don't have personal experience with collections of this size. Some clients might also not have been designed to work with such collections, so probably you'd have to try several.

I'm surprised no one mentioned it. Hellblade (full title: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice) had me in literal tears. Not only it's a decent game, it's also an essay on heavy topics like mental health and the story of viking invasions.
Nice article!
You seem to be missing the word "by" in the table introducing threat T04. Also, the threat summary table uses ✅ and ❌ in a way that was counterintuitive to me: initially I thought ✅ meant the encryption approach protects against the threat.
A bigger issue IMO is how you describe email encryption in transit as a matter of fact, but according to Google transparency report[1] there are still domains that do not support in transit encryption, and, what's worse, when you send an email you can't tell if it will be encrypted or not.
