Yeah it's pretty useful to enable every once in a while just to see if anything complains. Be very careful with it in production code though [1]. If you're in a dll then changing the FPU exception flags is a big no-no (unless you&

There's a great Random ASCII blog post about an obscure FPU issue like this [1]. - The crash was in a FPU that Chrome barely uses - The instruction that crashed Chrome was thousands of instructions away from the one that trigge

Honest question, is there even a legitimate use for this specific tech?

Using #anchor-links that show up in the URL (but not the browser navigation history) should really be the UX baseline for acceptable anchor link implementations. I hate it when long pages don't allow you to actually link specific secti

IMO, the most important UX features for anchor links is that you should be able to send them to other people (and save them via bookmarks). Say that you find yourself needing to check the "Control code table" section of the Wiki

The part of that interview that's stuck with me after I listened to this last year was his comments about the feudal system (at around 38:30 [1]). So, tribal organisation is a natural organisation of humankind. We tend to fall into it

Not OP but look into "computer glasses". Usually they're optimized for distances a bit closer than 1.5 meters, but I'm sure that can be changed.

Where I live (Stockholm), blinds are usually between the outermost glass pane and the inner two panes (triple glazed windows). It keeps the heat out pretty well (and prevents cats from messing with the blinds).

It's not exactly something new though. Windows still doesn't have a native implementation of country flags.

> each color of light travels at a different speed? That is indeed correct when light is not traveling through a vacuum. Refraction occurs because of a change in velocity between mediums, and the refractive index is wavelength-dependant

Angela Collier (a theoretical physicist) is also pretty harsh on him [1]. The main critique of him is that he happily keeps talking authoritatively and confidently about scientific topics that he has very little knowledge about (e.g., quant

This article gives me an excuse to mention my favorite obscure old keyboard switch type: the acoustic keyboard switch. Back in the 80s when electronics were expensive, someone figured out that you could detect all key-presses on a keybo

I'd be careful with that feature though because it used to have an absolutely awful bug (and it might still tbh, I haven't had it confirmed that it's fully fixed yet). https://github.com/microsoft/vscode&

I ended up switching to Qobuz for that reason basically. It's much more music-focused than Spotify and the editorial content is pretty good (lots of albums have an "about" section which gives you some context about the album)

The main issue is integration, not immigration. City planning and free school choice plays a big part imo. If most immigrants from poor countries end up living in the same areas and having their kids go to the same schools as each other, th

A paper does not exist in a vacuum. If a field is filled with papers authored and co-authored by known sexual harassers, do you think many women will want to enter that field? Letting shitty people gain prevalence in your field will have a

To some extent, this just sounds like willfully digging your own grave and then complaining that you're being buried. Sure, a shitty person can still do good research. But people are people, not computers. If you want to sacrifice your

Differentiating between English J and Y is also difficult for Swedes (at least for me), because in Swedish, a J at the start of a word is typically pronounced with a Y-sound. I have to make a conscious effort to make sure I don't get t

As always with debt, how bad it is very much depends on the interest rate of the loans. I bought an apartment here in Sweden a couple of years ago with the minimal required down payment ( kontantinsats ) of 15%, but 20% of my debt is stil
