Right. I thought the "big guys" know better and they have some processes to vet Crowdstrike updates. Maybe even if they don't get its source code, they at least have a separate server that manages the updates, like Microsoft&

And I never said that anyone is telling me to use Java. It was an example. Because of the nature of AV software, its code would be drowning in "unsafe" memory accesses no matter the language we chose. This is AV, it's always

If it works the same way - absolutely.

Not a helpful takeaway, I've yet to see a Java kernel driver.

Is it really impossible for an individual engineer to make decisions that are good for business, and still feel inclined to job-hop?

Right. How different would it be from just writing inline CSS, exactly?

Curiously, C actually has bignums. Now. In C23, they added a _BitInt(N) type (e.g., "_BitInt(1024)" for a 128-byte type). The compiler support for that is limited, though. To let N be >128 in Clang, -fexperimental-max-bitint-wi

Nice read. The fact that it is possible to 3d print metal parts that withstand temperatures and pressures of a rocket engine is so exciting. How expensive is it?

You can work everywhere. You won’t be paid as much everywhere, though. Even if your motives aren’t simply greed, bigger salaries mean higher barriers to entry, and working together with people that pass higher barriers to entry will move yo

So somebody is going to pay 250$/hr for a job requiring only stale public knowledge? Why hasn't it been outsourced yet? If I only cared about money, I'd probably just make drugs :)

I wonder if there’s something opposite — an abstraction for the Web to provide some layout rules that are more sane than CSS.

Not all humans though.

Hey, it's just like in the plot of GTA V :D I thought it's something absurd Rockstar made just for the plot, but apparently it's a common thing.

There's that (practically useless) thing, there are all sorts of palm gestures like U+1FAF3 "PALM DOWN HEAD", U+1F91E "CROSSED FINGERS", and of course U+1F595 "MIDDLE FINGER", but there's no fig gestu

Because technically, they didn't. As they say in the documentary, the version of the game that they made after the first year or so was bad, and they acknowledged it, and they changed their processes and introduced the "cabal&quot

I don't think that the parent isn't aware of that. I think the parent says that providing employee perks for your contractors _is_ violating the US labor law.

JavaScript is fast because it is used by every person every day, so lots of smart people from big companies put lots of thought how to make it fast, and I still get a feeling of overwhelming anger when browsing the new web Reddit on a 4-yea

Valve uses volunteers for the majority of translation work. Some languages are lucky to have competent and committed volunteer translators, others not so much.

The article fails to explain how the alleged monopoly of Monotype hurts smaller type foundries. Reads almost like a hit piece. There's some story about an independent author not having a legal team to protect from fonts stealing... d&#

I used https://github.com/naavis/4k-Intro-Template/ to get started. The main ingredient of the secret sauce is a special compressing linker, called crinkler.

So polite it hurts. I wonder if in the future people on the internet will leave deliberately offensive posts to show that they are human.

Nobody is, unless they're not 5. Brain plasticity is a thing, but the article doesn't mention it.

Eeeh, if only Epic hasn't signed an agreement (as any iOS developer did) where they explicitly agreed with this policy, then it would be so simple.

Most of the time, you convert the image from gamma space to linear space, you do whatever you want to do, and then convert back.

That's interesting. "Support for the war" is not an expression that makes a lot of sense to me. Nobody in their right mind wakes up in the morning and tells themselves "yes, I am going to fight in the war just for the sa

On my Pixel, Android 13, I can see the wifi password in plain text on the QR code screen, below the QR code.

Why do you think so? I think I'm pretty comfortable with what I'm doing now, but maybe I don't know something.

Not _only_ that. It was an example of how tools help me deal with inherent complexity that cannot be dealt with by "just write better code". I do use debugger. During big fixing, I need answers to various questions, such as: on wh

I'm not sure I'm following. A visual debugger ticks a lot of boxes for my needs. Not all - some of them I had to tick myself, but I don't think that trying to reinvent the value that's already there in a debugger, would

That's all good, but if the problem itself operates with more data than a human can reasonably operate with, this no longer applies. I do 3D meshes programming. The amount of vertices, planes and other geometrical entities that I need
