Another software project feels it’s necessary to dive into divisive politics when it should just make good software. It’s sad, really. Now what I think of when I hear „Zig“ is a community of self-important, immature and delusional people instead of thinking about the undeniable advantages of the Zig language.
Is it really that hard to increase the bandwidth in 2025 to get mic quality that doesn’t sound awful? Opus can be really efficient at low bitrates AFAIK.
What exactly is this? Windows application firewall? Network proxy I install on a separate computer? Is it available for other operating systems? I skimmed though the website and am already annoyed because I didn’t find answers to those simple questions.
To transfer patient data between doctors and (state) insurance companies, doctor‘s offices need to have a hardware VPN device. The system was implemented by the company „gematic“. A small number of companies produce these devices.
The certificates on these devices expire after five years. Now, instead of simply updating the certificates, the companies want the state and the doctors to buy new devices which costs around 400 million.
The CCC firstly explained that this is bullshit and a total waste of money and secondly showed that it is easy to update the devices. They could do it themselves but only need the private key from gematic.
Check the Sponsorblock extension for Firefox. It not only blocks sponsor segments but also has a „jump to highlight“ function which jumps directly to the answer of the (clickbait) video title.
Youtube results sometimes make sense. I use them when looking at some electronics setups because it is easier to understand the visual part (locating the connector etc.) than to guess though a written description (the connector is the black square that is next to the ventilator).
Sometimes it is useful for coding, where there is some refactoring done that helps you to understand the "why" of some changes.
But it clearly depends on the video. Many have the 20 useful seconds burrien in 4 minutes of BS.
It lets you create materialized views that are automatically updated in an incremental way as underlying data changes, without recomputing the whole query. Previously they supported running those queries on Postgres/Kafka, now they've added their own persistence layer and horizontal scalability.
I have worked at Materialize since 2019. The elevator pitch is that it is a database that lets you maintain the results of queries in memory (and now S3) and have them update in real time so the current result is always available.
Can you describe some use cases? The only one that comes to mind is powering dashboards.
That said, do you support persistent tables or time travel? (E.g., accessing the contents of the view as it was at time t). If not, how should a situation where multiple independent clients read the view be handled? If two people load the same dashboard but see differences based on when the table was read, that might cause confusion.
No, but I think the changes that need to be made in order to do so are tractable, so I expect we will eventually (I’m not an expert in this area of the code, so please don’t take this as an official statement).
That’s some lazy FUD. But even if that were true and the contacts weren’t encrypted and PIN entry not rate limited: What do you propose as an alternative?
It's true. I've provided some relevant links elsewhere in this discussion.
As for alternatives, I really don't know enough about the situation in Iran to say what would be safe. After they stated collecting data I personally switched to Jami for secure communications, but I'm not a whistleblower or a journalist or a freedom fighter or anything and to be honest, I haven't found anything as polished as Signal that handles both secure messaging and plain old SMS/MMS. I was a fan. It's been years and I'm still hugely disappointed.
$title = $title + "for Chromium users". Which is almost everyone.
Although does Safari use something similar? I think only FF will be using Manifest v2.
"The most widely noted change in Mv3 – and there are many that have significant implications – is the removal of the blocking version of the webRequest API, which is being replaced by an API called declarativeNetRequest."
Safari supports and will continue to support v2, but Safari never supported blocking webRequest.
Vivaldi already announced that they will not support v2 because of the engineering costs. I don't know if Brave will for the same reason and they also want you to use their integrated ad block
