Windows already does this for a number of years. Drivers which run in kernel space are not allowed anymore to access whatever they want, and Windows own kernel space data structures are protected against modifications by other kernel mode r

There are 100% VS Code workflows - you edit in VS Code, commit from VS Code, and do code reviews from VS Code and review GitHub issues from VS Code. > frustrating to those who work on Firefox to suggest that it somehow depends on Chrome

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted, because you are technically correct - a lot of Firefox developers use VS Code, which is based on Chrome and it is part of the toolchain. ELI5: are you really sure that when you work on Firefox

Unfortunately lots of apps keep large caches. For example almost all electron apps keep the last two or so versions around when they auto-update. And since Electron apps are around 250 MB that's 0.5 GB of old versions per app. I recent

Do you think Microsoft loves it that people are building Windows apps with Google tech? But this ship has sailed a long time ago.

Because it sacrificed pixel accuracy - the horizontal lines were a continuous signal and the pixels kind of blurred into each other. Looking at a CRT monitor side by side with a LCD one was quite revealing - even a last generation 2005 CRT

If you put your eyeball to the screen, sure, just like you can see the pixels of an LCD screen. But it's not how you're supposed to look at it.

I worked on a CAD/CAM product, debug mode was literally unusable, it was 100-1000 times slower than optimized mode.

Has author actually seen a CRT TV image in real life? Because it didn't look like that, you didn't have those clear distinct lines. Color CRT displaying a game, no lines: https://i.imgur.com/eI2yb7Y.jpeg Black &am

It's called 30-hour clock. This convention is also used by some TV ratings measurement organizations - a show ending Tue 02:00 will be recorded as Mon 26:00, since it logically belonged to the day that ended, not the one that started.

HTML/CSS/JS are the most superior UI engine that exists right now, especially when used through something like React/Vue/Svelte. So creating an even better one is quite a tall order.

You can think of two levels of deallocated memory: deallocated just inside the app, and fully deallocated towards the OS. Only the fully deallocated towards the OS will crash. When you deallocate small amounts of memory, the underlying C li

Thanks, their @deepkit/type is exactly what I would need, but it seems they do that by a TypeScript plugin, and I'm in an esbuild setup which completely bypasses TypeScript. But I will check if maybe I can use DeepKit to auto-gene

Yes. For example it has the "any" type which will bypass any sort of type check. But I think it's more nuanced. Depends of what you mean by type correct. Even in Haskell you can override the compiler and say "trust me on

Non-soundness is sort of a feature, it lets you force your way through and just say "trust me, this is a Thing" when it's just hard (or impossible) to make TypeScript see that. In practice, you can write large code bases wher

Keyword similar. I use type guards for other things (like typing JSON responses), but they can't solve this particular problem.

One think I struggled a lot with until I got it is that the TypeScript types and the JavaScript code live in totally separate universes, and you cannot cross from the type world to JavaScript values because the types are erased when transpi

Didn't Microsoft LINQ try something like that? Was not particularly successful.

Flatness is a curve, not a number. If you try to distill it into a number (by integrating the error for example), you can have two speakers with the same "flatness number" which cost about the same, yet sound very different. This

You just leave it aside until you figure out it's status. Since it's pretty likely the money will be returned, I don't think this is a controversial take.

With our current technology it's impossible to make a flat frequency response speaker. It's possible for amps, mics, DACs, but not for speakers, unless you talk about million dollar facilities. So you need to pick from different n

Why do they pay $249,999.99 instead of a round $250,000? Is it for tax reasons (different bracket)? I think it would upset me a bit to not have that last cent there. Feels disrespectful in some way.
