Facial recognition shouldn’t be costly, you can do it on Raspberry Pi with a Coral.

This is controlled in BIOS.

Just hold the power button on your laptop for a few seconds and you’ll get hard power off.

It’s not really a nuke as some processes might be protected. The nuke is to use debugger privileges. Far Manager can kill processes using debugger privileges, that will literally nuke anything and in an instant: the app won’t even receive any signals or anything.

The end task doesn’t terminate the app, it only sends a message to the window to close itself. The app will then decide what to do on its own. For example, if the app has multiple windows open, it might close the active one, but still continue running with other windows open. Or it might ignore the message completely.

Well, I understand that. But the change should start somewhere and somehow, right? I can only provide you with examples how the public transport works elsewhere, but you’ll have to do some ground work yourself, like advocating for public transport, voting for more responsible government, etc. Or… Make America Great Britain Again!

95% of Londoners are 400m or less from a bus stop. The bus service suits everyone for any journey. And then we have trains and the tube. There’s never a need for a car no matter where and when you go.

Wut?

Getting totally wasted in a forest on cheap beer mixed with antihistamines and vodka was the best thing as a teen!

You should remember that the gun death rate in the US is only three times lower than in Ukraine during an active war. US is a fucking war zone!

Plastic is better for the environment than everything else.

It’s done less and less because recycling plastic bottles is better.

Glass bottles are much much worse for the environment.

No, my problem is snowflakes and governments.

No, what has ruined the internet are bloody snowflakes and censorship. Bring back rotten.com and Rate My Poo!

I know how React Native works and it doesn’t fix anything. For example, if the underlying toolkit punishes you for deep nesting - you’re still fucked. Google recommends to have 10 or less levels of nesting, which is bonkers to any web developer. There is similar advice for iOS, Mac and Windows (not sure about GTK and Qt, haven’t used them for over a decade). Each platform has its own solution, so you end up with custom code for each and at that point or doesn’t matter if you’re coding in C or JS.

I vote for nanoid.

There are several issues with native development without a browser layer.

First of all, native UI toolkits are very different and making a robust cross platform app is pretty much impossible. So, the traditional approach is to use one toolkit, which will be native to one platform, and then let your other users deal with it. For example, GTK apps on Windows and Mac look and feel like shit.

Another approach is to use a custom cross platform toolkit, which doesn’t use anything native at all. If enough work and thought is put in such application, it can be a very pleasant experience. But often it’s shit for all users.

The second issue is that it can be quite hard to manage fluid window sizes and to build a proper responsive UI with native toolkits. Some are better at it, some are worse. Native toolkits also tend to punish developers for deep nesting of components making UI development even more painful.

HTML + CSS solves all that. It’s responsive by design, everyone is used to web apps already, nesting is not a problem at all, etc.

I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can’t even deduct which ISP I’m using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.

Your IP changes all the time, it doesn’t matter. The best someone can deduct from your IP is the country.
