Personally I have two major issues with macOS: CPU usage and bugs. There are a ton of background services that periodically spin up for no obvious reason, consuming a ton of CPU for a few minutes at a time, then go back to idle. I don'

Amazon would still be in charge of enforcement, they'd just be held liable for not doing so. Which is not a pleasant place to be, because blocking automation is not an easy problem, and it's difficult to measure success.

It's more than that, it's the official conformance tests: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/VK-GL-CTS/blob/main/external...

Also remember that native code can use multithreading, so if your challenge is something that could be farmed out to multiple CPU threads until one finds the solution, that's another factor in favor of native code performance.

About the benchmark data: It looks like your pow_sha256 library is using is the "sha2" crate, which is a pure Rust implementation of SHA2. So your benchmark is around the delta of your library compiled to native code vs. your libr

I looked into doing something like this once and decided it wasn't going to be very effective, for a few different reasons. JS engines (or even WASM) aren't going to be as fast at this kind of work as native machine code would be.

That's Numberwang. (Wordwang?)

I've been running it for almost a year, using docker-compose. It seems rather unstable for me. Every week or so, Sentry will just stop handling incoming events, and the request queues just keep growing. And if you try to upload symbols

It could be an ANGLE change responsible. I know Apple's been working on the Metal rendering backend. Maybe something in that is breaking for you. I'm not sure if the video represents what's going on perfectly, but it appears

Out of curiosity, what are the WebGL bugs you ran into?

I had a very similar pattern happen a year or so ago on one of my bank debit cards. The difference in my case was that they made one fraudulent charge on the card beforehand to lend authenticity to the "we're the fraud team"

"Discrete TPM" means you have a daughter board that you plug in to a physical TPM port on the motherboard (check your motherboard manual for where it is, and which kind is compatible). If that device is physically not actually the

Whoah, that's news to me. I used PostgreSQL fairly recently (a year or so ago?) and ended up abandoning it after I was forced to do the export/import dance through a few version upgrades. When did that requirement go away?

Gallium, Indium, and Tin, I believe.

The CN is "*.transip.nl" instead of "timetagger.app" for some reason.

I don't have much to add here, except to say that this really matches my experience with Wave G. Wave G's support team also doesn't even realize that the CondoInternet network they acquired provides IPv6, and when asked about

by AbacusAvenger 6y ago
Yes, their IPv6 support has been mediocre. The big advantage to Wave G is that they have symmetrical gigabit download/upload rates. Comcast, on the other hand, provides gigabit download rates but ~30-40Mbit upload rates.

They only announce a /64 prefix via RA (with no DHCPv6 or DHCPv6-PD), so address assignments are via SLAAC. For that ISP (Wave G), I use NDP proxying to allow the LAN side to utilize those addresses as well.

by AbacusAvenger 6y ago
The major problems I've run into with IPv6: - Some ISPs do not offer prefix delegation, so I have to use weird hacks like NDP proxying (I use ndppd for this). - My dhcpcd.exit-hook script is becoming a monstrosity to maintain the prefi

My apartment building had a very brief (less than a few seconds) power outage at the time 1600M seconds rolled over. Weird.

Out of curiosity, do you know of any implementations where ssize_t has that kind of range limitation?

How many applications are left that still use Mercurial? I can only think of two big ones, the JDK and Mozilla's entire code base. Are there still others around? Seems like everyone's moving to Git these days, which is great consi

> The KDE desktop environment has been updated to version 5.18.4.1.19.12.3. Is that... actually the version number? I thought KDE just used a 3-part version number (major.minor.maintenance or something).

Deletion doesn't mean the data is actually gone from disk though, so it would basically leave unencrypted evidence of incognito browsing history. There are multiple use cases for incognito, and tracking inside the browser is only one

I don't think they'll back out of RF tech entirely. The best WiFi chipsets I've used in recent years have been Intel-vended, and they're broadly used. On the other hand, I've been bitten by Broadcom WiFi chipsets to
