Java does use dup in some cases, e.g.

   public static void test() { 
      new Object();
   }

         0: new           #2                  // class java/lang/Object
         3: dup
         4: invokespecial #1                  // Method java/lang/Object."":()V
         7: pop
         8: return

From the article: Lookup tables are always faster than calculation - is that true? I'd think that while in the distant past maybe today due to memory being much slower than CPU the picture is different nowadays. If you're calculating a very expensive function over a small domain so the lookup fits in L1 Cache then I can see it would be faster, but you can do a lot of calculating in the time needed for a single main memory access.

I can't find anything about these low gravity regions (Google redirects me to your post) but they sound interesting. Can you share some reading material?

I checked on my OnePlus 7 and indeed it's possible by default. There is a setting to disable access to the notification (/setting) drawer from the lock screen at least in Oxygen OS though.

This is actually possible. There's Linux tools to extract the WIM files from a Windows installation iso. You have to create the appropriate partition setup (EFI partition with bootloader, NTFS partition with the extracted files), and for configuration of the bootloader I created https://github.com/U1F984/create_bcd/

Not sure why this is down voted, I also looked into this at some point but was unable to find a solution.

The somehow is explained quite well at the end - they discussed different approaches and why they chose the current one.

Also down for me.

That's what "forced captions" are for: they will only show subtitles for the scenes where foreign languages are spoken.

The option is only available for known devices, which should make it more difficult to pull this off.

For Go you can use FROM scratch and save a couple more megabytes.

Apparently it's already being taken into consideration:

U1F984 — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 16:47:34 +0000

Yeah, it's a requirement by law, tracking must be disabled unless explicitly allowed. Accepting all must be as easy as denying. However a lot of sites offer an easy one-click accept all and the deny all is behind a two step "configure" + "confirm selection", sometimes even with a fake save timer.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a remote desktop software for Linux? Specifically one that also supports using a browser, video, etc. RDP (server) with proper GPU acceleration works great for this, but unfortunately is Windows only.

U1F984 — Sat, 12 Feb 2022 22:44:19 +0000

The extra setup step for websocket should not be required: https://caddyserver.com/docs/v2-upgrade#proxy

I also had no problems with HAProxy, it worked with websockets without any issues or extra handling.
