I thought they just did that because their infrastructure was old and prone to sparking and causing wildfires.

This is a whole drive write for every 6 hours of use. Modern TLC is usually only warrantied for about 600 drive writes, though it can usually go higher before failing. So if you use your laptop for about 5 hours a day, you can expect the SS

I found out when experimenting with it that Snap inherited most of the .deb cruft. As someone less experienced in .deb packaging, I found it very confusing with all the Ubuntu-specific package separations and archaic requirements. If I don’

I like rust, but I detest cargo. I don’t like that it forces a particular structure that makes every project feel like a visual studio template. I also don’t like that it has an single authoritative registry that it pulls packages from on b

Fewer datatypes. “Less” should be used when you’re talking about a qualitative measure, “fewer” when talking quantitatively. This message is sponsored by your friendly neighborhood grammar nazi.

There's only integral buffer scales, so it's entirely up to the compositor or client to do fractional scaling. https://wayland-client-d.dpldocs.info/wayland.client.protoco...

Well, you could say also something like “most modern hardware is little-endian, so it would make more sense to go the other way.” For those who don’t know, you know?

The person who scraped the site pointed out that users started out shadow-banned, and were only unmuted after it was confirmed their posts fit a certain profile. That’s definitely not neutral. Reference: https://twitter.com/

Drivers are an untenable problem. eGPU on regular Macs is helped by there being existing x86 drivers needed for first-party Apple hardware. There’s not much incentive for Apple or the third parties to write drivers targeting Apple silicon f

I don’t think there’s any LPDDR4 4266 available with ECC, so it couldn’t use it. The error message probably just indicates M1 supports ECC as an option.

Yeah, I looked it up before posting. And "superficial" would be better a better word than "manufactured." Only like 10% of gold production goes towards industrial purposes. The rest is used for jewelry or as currency bac

Interesting that you would choose gold, when its value is mostly manufactured.

I’m conditioned to let these anniversary things claim what they want, since they’ve started becoming arbitrarily long events. Companies will do things like “the 25th anniversary of x product,” and use it as marketing for as long as a year.

The name is going to be a problem for me. I keep thinking it’s “[Super Nintendo] World.”

8GB is plenty for most people right now. A browser won’t eat that much memory for normal sites and reasonable tab counts. An interesting thing about the M1’s RAM limit, though, is that it literally can’t get any bigger. 16GB is pushing it,

From what I hear, the Stadia version is actually really good. The solution to their problem might be porting that version around.

No, you'll generally pass the relevant bone information and desired transforms to a vertex shader, and that computes the new positions.

Could be short for elsewise, maybe? Else has the fewest characters—that’s likely the reason it panned out.

People who can’t afford the cost or just don’t want to pay the exorbitant cost will avoid going, even if it means their lives. Having chest pain? What if it’s just indigestion, you don’t want to go to the ER and have a $5000 bill. Oops, it

With how much of the X server the NVIDIA driver outright replaces, I’m not surprised. It also has a ridiculously huge back-support for X ABIs. They don’t remove the old ones, and compatibility code is all baked into one driver instead of se

And CSS wasn’t widely used until a few years into the ‘00s. Only then did more consistent layout engines finally make it viable for stuff other than just styling text.

I believe they still license the ARM designs and just make changes on top of them. The GPUs are also very much PowerVR-based, even though they aren’t branded that way any more. The special hardware for emulation was also mostly debunked. Tu

Except they won’t. Instead nobody will pay the exorbitant markup, so the scalpers sit on them until it’s clear they won’t make a profit, then return them all to the reseller. So 80% of the first units will remain unused in-box for a few mon

There’s a few nuances like this with OpenGL and Vulkan that you’ll find in the specs. Normally you don’t encounter them because the compiler by default aligns to certain boundaries. Then someone tries to get clever and uses a custom allocat

Toolkits like Qt and Gtk only support integer scale factors. (Qt does fractional, but still has glitches) The scaling factor in the article inside gnome tweaks only changes the font scale. I personally use 2x Gtk scale and 80% font scale, a

I dunno. In the 2000s it was worth buying inferior PowerPC hardware because Mac OS X was so forward-looking and friendly to develop on. It was exciting. Nowadays, there’s no question that the M1 hardware is fast and the Rosetta 2 translatio

The problem with abstract thinking is that there’s often more than one way to represent an answer, so that means the teacher has to actually understand the problems, not just match to an answer sheet. I’m reminded of a widely circulated com
