The Prompt API uses the Gemini Nano model in Chrome.

The Prompt API uses the Gemini Nano model in Chrome. While the API is built into Chrome, the model is downloaded separately the first time an origin uses the API.

Feature Branching also discourages developers from making changes that aren't seen as part of the feature being built, which undermines the ability of refactoring to steadily improve a code base.

Also note that every atom in the backbone has a slight charge arising from the presence of the electronegative atoms O and N. Hence the backbone is polar.

An init system does not have to be heavyweight. You may be thinking about Upstart, Systemd, SysV init etc with all the implications that come with them. You may be thinking that full system needs to be booted inside the container. None of this is true. A "full init system" as we may call it, is neither necessary nor desirable.

In every day language, people consider "zombie processes" to be simply runaway processes that cause havoc. But formally speaking -- from a Unix operating system point of view -- zombie processes have a very specific definition. They are processes that have terminated but have not (yet) been waited for by their parent processes.

Programmers should be encouraged to understand what is correct, why it is correct, and then propagate.

You might get the impression after reading David's article above that this trend arose from lazy developers who "forgot how to program", but the reality is that the tiny-module ecosystem on NPM was the intention from the beginning

+1 for taking the language back.

Can't upvote this enough. It is highly irritating to see language destroyed (and we wonder why kids bastardize the language..).

wrapping every callback function inside useCallback(): import React, { useCallback } from 'react'; function MyComponent() { const handleClick = useCallback(() => { // handle the click event }, []); return <MyChild onClick={handleClick} />; } “Every callback function should be memoized to prevent useless re-rendering of child components which use the callback function” is the reasoning of his teammates. This statement is far from the truth. Moreover, such usage of useCallback() makes the component slower, harming the performance.

When you hear there's something called "template strings" coming to JavaScript, it's natural to assume it's a built-in template library, like Mustache. It isn't. It's mainly just string interpolation and multiline strings for JS. I think this is going to be a common misconception for a while, though.

Chances are that you think that you can compile a Ruby binary on a certain OS, and that users using that same OS can use your Ruby binary. Not quite. Not even when they run the same OS version as you do.

Kagan said, “a lot of things that are said about what GDPR is doing are myths. There are tons of misconceptions.”As a result, regulators have had to spend a great deal of time undoing myths, explaining the law’s broad language and providing guidance

In mainstream press, the word "hacker" is often used to refer to a malicious security cracker. There is a classic definition of the term "hacker", arising from its first documented uses related to information technologies at MIT, that is at odds with the way the term is usually used by journalists. The inheritors of the technical tradition of the word "hacker" as it was used at MIT sometimes take offense at the sloppy use of the term by journalists and others who are influenced by journalistic inaccuracy.

Are cookies governed by the GDPR? Cookie usage and it’s related consent acquisition are not governed by the GDPR, they are instead governed by the ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law) which in future will be repealed by the up-coming ePrivacy Regulation.

When you think about data law and privacy legislations, cookies easily come to mind as they’re directly related to both. This often leads to the common misconception that the Cookie Law (ePrivacy directive) has been repealed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which in fact, it has not. Instead, you can instead think of the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR as working together and complementing each other, where, in the case of cookies, the ePrivacy generally takes precedence.

"You can try to make your own captcha. It is not so complicate." I hadn't read anything so wrong in a long time.

Applications like rsnapshot rotate a snapshot to the next level by creating a hard-linked copy. Creating a hard-linked copy may seem like a good idea but it is still a waste of disk space, since only files can be hard-linked and not directories. The duplicated directory structure can take up as much as 100 MB of space.

When you need to proxy HTTPS traffic, the environment variable is upper case: HTTPS_PROXY
