How not to release historic source code

by
Regarding the release of the MS-DOS 4.00 source code, Michal Necasek makes an excellent point about how just dumping the code in git is a terrible and destructive way to release older source code. It’s terrific that the source code for DOS 4.00/4.01 was released! But don’t expect to build the source code mutilated by git without problems. Historic source code should be released simply as an archive of files, ZIP or tar or 7z or whatever, with all timestamps preserved and every single byte kept the way it was. Git is simply not a suitable tool for this. ↫ Michal Necasek at OS/2 Museum The problems caused by dumping the code in git are quite real. Timestamps are not preserved, and the conversion to UTF-8 is deeply destructive, turning some parts of the code to literal gibberish. It’s a bit of a mess, and the people responsible for these release should be more careful and considerate.

Open Group: Repeat after Me II / Polish Pavilion at Venice Art Biennale 2024

by
Open Group (Yuriy Biley, Pavlo Kovach, Anton Varga): Repeat after Me II / Polish Pavilion at Venice Art Biennale 2024. Venice (Italy), April 19, 2024.
Official description: Repeat after Me II is a collective portrait of witnesses of the war in Ukraine. The protagonists of two films from 2022 and 2024 are civilian war refugees who speak of the war as recalled through the sounds of firearms, and then invite the audience to repeat after them. The artists use a karaoke format. The accompaniment here is not hit tunes: it is shots, missiles, howling, and explosions—and the lyrics are descriptions of deadly weapons. This is the soundtrack of a war that the witnesses try to recreate. The ability to recognise these sounds can save their lives, and we are invited to learn the language of their experiences. The audience can repeat the sounds of the weapons or withdraw into the safe space designed to resemble a karaoke bar. Yet this is no ordinary bar, like the ones we know: it is an instructional karaoke venue forecasting an even more militarised future. This spectre will remain with us for so long as nationalist imperialist policies will be accepted as part of a diplomatic compromise.

Rss.App Review

by
Let me start by expressing my deep frustration with the customer service I received from RSS.App. I was excited to use their service, which sets up widgets for websites to enhance content accessibility. After trying the trial version and finding it lacking the features I needed for my website, I decided to purchase the $19.99 plan to explore further.

However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I encountered issues with integrating the widget into my WordPress-hosted website. Despite adjusting dimensions and attempting various fixes, the widget remained off-centered. I assumed I was doing something wrong until I reached out to customer support for assistance.

Debug Academy: How to create a partial date field in Drupal (i.e. Year & Month without Day)

How to create a partial date field in Drupal (i.e. Year & Month without Day)

One of Drupal’s main strengths is its data modeling.

But sometimes choosing the appropriate field type comes with a form widget that isn’t what we’re looking for. For example, using a Date field results in the form displaying a date “widget” (form input) which includes a full date consisting of a day, month, and year, and optionally a time.

How to remove the time from a date field in Drupal

Because removing the time from date fields is such a common request, Drupal allows its removal without writing any custom code.

How to hide the time Drupal’s frontend

Fortunately, the date field has a highly configurable display on the frontend. By visiting the “Manage Display” page (or configuring the field’s block, if using layout builder), you will have the option of selecting (or creating) a date format.

Follow these steps to change the date’s output for your frontend:
