daef··on Why some US restaurants are banning tips
yeah, this one also gets to my bones. and then you cant return every deposit-taxed bottle everywhere - but only in stores where it's sold. then some friends leave bottles at your place which you cannot return anywhere near... what a mess
daef··on Why some US restaurants are banning tips

daef··on Libxml2's "no security embargoes" policy
in systems level programming (the introductory course before operating systems in our university) this was one of the first misconceptions to be eradicated. you cannot trust malloc to return null.
daef··on Overengineered Anchor Links
my first instinct would be to let the triggerline move with the scrollposition, i.e. at scrollTop = 0 the triggerline is at 0vh and at scrollTop=max at 100vh... am i missing something?
daef··on macOS Tips and Tricks (2022)
dont know whether that works on apple or not - but i just paste into an unformatted textbox (e.g. browser address bar) and copy again from there
daef··on Ask HN: Windows 11 development environment discontinued?
that's exactly the thing I'm trying to avoid. since I really don't need windows very often I prefer to change win-vms like underpants (allowing me to deactivate defender/winupdates fearless) and would not like to spend hours for setting up win from scratch. I had to set up win11 for a friend a few days ago and - let me tell you - that experience sucked hard

i am very confused... what is 3D? to me 3D means three dimensions - but it looks like 3D refers to a product? this page doesn't help with explaining anything
daef··on Hard numbers in the Wayland vs. X11 input latency discussion
thanks!
daef··on SiFive's P550 Microarchitecture
i thought risc-v is >10years "old". how long is an ISA "very new"?

what would you count as low latency terminal?
daef··on Where do those undergraduate divisibility problems come from?
i couldnt come up with a proof for the initial problem (n^6+n^3+2n^2 is a multiple of 6 for every n)

because it's not true (simply insert 1, 2, 4 or 5)

daef··on Android 14 blocks all modification of system certificates, even as root?
I don't know where you're from, but here in austria most banks offer 'cardTAN' as an alternative to mobileTAN. I always assumed cardTAN is a thing everywhere...

edit: with cardTAN you get a OTP/TAN 'calculator' into which you put your smartcard to generate TANs on the fly.

I use it because to me this feels more like a real second factor, when I use my mobile for banking.
