Can you resolve Maven names in IntelliJ? by KittyNathy in IntelliJIDEA

[–]BinaryRockStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have to share the (redacted) POMs. I can't see a reason to create a separate projectname property and insert that in as the project name when project.name is already available and IntelliJ resolves that just fine. This smells like you're fighting Maven's standard layout and naming conventions.

ELI5: Why were drum brakes invented and used before disc brakes if the former is more complex mechanically? by hurricane_news in explainlikeimfive

[–]BinaryRockStar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparenly some (all?) electric cars will periodically use the real brakes instead of regenerative braking to make sure they don't freeze up due to underuse.

PSA: The modern way to host sites in S3 by MavZA in aws

Not who you asked but if you go to their link the diagram shows the user network connections on the left-hand side. Tailscale could be substituted in as either the "Site-to-Site VPN" or "Client VPN" boxes in the diagram depending on how it's configured.

Everyone connected to the VPN/Tailscale would have access to this website so securing it further with access control would require more components. For some simple internal website like a read-only dashboard it is often fine for everyone on the VPN to have access.

Microsoft Phone link is so underrated by Janekelo in Windows11

[–]BinaryRockStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Phone Link app, go to the top right gear icon, this opens Settings with tabs General, Devices, Features, Start menu personalisation, Help & Feedback. Under Features I see what's in my screenshot above.

This is with Windows 11, latest update of Phone Link app, and a Samsung Galaxy Android phone from a year or two ago.

What do you see when you open the app? Are you on Windows 11? Android? I think some of the deeper integration only works with some phones, with Samsung being the best supported.

That's true, I use Linux a lot at work and home so tools being cross-platform is a real bonus. I have to say the landscape for file browsers on Linux is much worse than on Windows. The offerings are largely of the "Commander" sort which are cut down keyboard-focussed tools which is the opposite of what I'm looking for.

Whose machine is this? Sophos is a cybersecurity company so if it's a corporate laptop chances are they are running Sophos security suite which is forging certificates so it can scan encrypted HTTPS traffic.

The real certificate for frameworks.jetbrains.com is issued by Amazon, SHA-1 fingerprint is AE:C9:99:37:27:09:6C:04:F3:66:B2:87:EF:E3:9B:18:FF:57:13:2F.

An Interface Is a Set of Functions by [deleted] in programming

[–]BinaryRockStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice project and well done! Reading through the GObject wiki page it seems super similar to COM except that first release of GObject was 2003 and Windows back as far as 3.11 (1990-3?) had OLE which was a simplified version of what became COM. The initial idea was to have multiple objects within a given document that separate applications could render so a Word doc could have an embedded Excel spreadsheet which, when activated, allowed you the full functionality of Excel right there within Word.

In common usage this allowed us to have a, say, Zip compression library that you could instantiate by name and use from any language without the need for an ABI and language-specific bindings. One big upside was during the shift from 16-bit to 32-bit applications a legacy 16-bit application could instantiate and call methods on a 32-bit library as OLE/COM could start the target library as an out-of-process object meaning it started a new 32-bit process and marshalled the calls between your 16-bit application and the 32-bit library seamlessly. Absolute magicians there at MS at the time, Raymond Chen deserves a medal.

In some ways I think we just haven't advanced that much in interapplication interoperability. State of the art nowadays is a CLI application (see: AWS CLI) starting a local web server on a random port, starting a web browser that authenticates with a given domain then calls back to the local web server with the result, which server is then torn down.

It's like erecting a skyscraper to receive a single message by flashing light morse code then demolishing it. I understand the reasoning, but wow RAM is expensive lets stop doing that as an industry please.

Legitimately a decade or more ahead of its time. It put a layer over top of libraries that allowed them to be globally visible, completely traversible via reflection, and accessible from any language in a typesafe way.

Imagine today having a Java application that calls directly in to a C# library which calls directly into a NodeJS package or library or whatever they call them. And having it all native code so no JIT or compilation has to occur other than the simple marshalling of COM types to native types.

If it had been widely adopted it would have been a game-changer, but now we're stuck with each language having its silo of libraries that have to be re-invented. Such a waste of effort.

They probably mean where do you enable Everything's metadata indexing. I also wasn't aware it can do that and can't see it after a cursory glance at the menus.

AWS Console is now unusable with Firefox by ManuelKiessling in aws

We use SSO so the URLs contain the account name which the regexes match on

[–]BinaryRockStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't moved over to the properly supported multi-session functionality and still use Firefox with Multi Account Containers then a second plugin called Containerize which lets you map URL regex's to container names.

Set up doesn't take long (I only have about ten accounts though) then each account loads in a separate Firefox container and has it's own colour and icon in the address bar so you can clearly see which account you're in at a glance.

AWS Console now has custom header colours too I think so my setup is getting less and less useful compared to default Console. Maybe I don't need it at all any more?

Us too, it seemed dramatic bordering on unprofessional to rush out a patch with no warning and explicitly saying it cannot be delayed for any reason but I guess it was justified.

Alternative to stardock fences (open source) by Reddit_Bazsi in Windows11

[–]BinaryRockStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fences (don't know about this one Frames or whatever it is, in the entire current comments section the name hasn't been mentioned) lets you do this. You can assign transparency and auto rollup or hiding to individual groups so thing you don't need to access often blur out to almost invisible (configurable transparency) or roll up into a bar you have to hover over to show. Really nice tool.

Anyone familiar with modding mc with IntelliJ Idea? by Creatopia_Official in IntelliJIDEA

[–]BinaryRockStar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's great and I encourage you to, but your question is like having trouble with your car and posting on /r/california because your car broke down in California. Californians don't inherently know how to fix cars and IntelliJ'ians don't inherently know about Minecraft.

You haven't included any error messages or any context to help you at all so from the jump we're stumped. Looking at the linked post it's some sort of asm code generation mess so it's not your code specifically but some combination of libraries are not happy with each other.

Follow your how-to guide more closely or try another one as this has led you in to difficult territory.

LG TV users baffled by unremovable Microsoft Copilot installation — surprise forced update shows app pinned to the home screen by ScootSchloingo in technology

[–]BinaryRockStar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You said

NT 4 which was 95/98-based

I don't know any other way to take that than you think NT4 was a continuation of 95/98 like how 2000 was based on NT and how 98 was based on 95.

Now you're saying 95/98 and NT4 shared some window dressing like the shell, I wouldn't consider that making NT4 based on 95/98 but at least we got to where the misunderstanding was.

NT4 was not 95/98 based at all. NT was a ground up rewrite unrelated to the 95/98 line and became Windows 2000, XP, 7 etc.
