Yeah, unfortunately he tested on OSX; notice all his numbers are bad, an unfortunate side effect of Apple unwilling (or unable) to focus on performance as a way to improve user experience and finally fix the compositor lag that's bee

Summary: 1) Extremely fast GPU-accelerated terminals have a latency of slightly more than one frame due to only rendering once per frame (for performance and latency reasons). 2) Gnome-terminal sucks. 3) Old school terminals, like xterm, ar

If you read the article, the headline is a confused mess. He was putting other kid's faces on existing child porn using common face swap software, and distributed the modified stuff as if it was real, including details of the kids who

Now that is super interesting. I'm glad they're still around trying to do what may be a computing revolution.

The last Mill CPU talk was put on Youtube 5 years ago, but they mentioned they were going silent because the talks were giving too much secret sauce away and racing patent filings by accident. I never heard from them again.

I remember when Uber got roasted by the postgresql mailing list over this: ultimately, a post mortem was done on all of Uber's claims, and it was basically proven that they were incompetent, did not read any available "best practi

As far as I can tell, LAION is effectively a phone book. This would be like suing someone because they made a browser bookmark saying that was piracy.

That is a false equivalence though. ex: "Nazis eat food, you eat food, therefore you're a Nazi." Doing something that all people do and are expected to do, on either side of the conflict, does not actually make a difference.

The wat video is one of my favorite videos to show newer programmers. It really convinces them not to use Javascript, and consider more serious, mature languages... like Rust. (If this was a TED talk, this is where the audience would confus

I've tried it. You can't really port magit from Emacs, its workflow depends entirely on how Emacs works (and this is a good thing, mind you). Neogit just feels awkward to use IMO from a vim perspective. That said, I'm happy w

Magit was one of the coolest parts of Emacs when I spent time over in that land. I have to "settle" for tpope's Fugitive. This is one of these tiny tools that should continue to exist.

Wait, they stopped me before? I've always backed up my Steam library to my NAS just so I don't have to download 1+ TB if my Windows box decides to explode and take the drive and/or filesystem with it.

Pragmata Pro is a huge influence on Iosevka, the author has admitted it. What makes Pragmata Pro work, afaict (since I've yet to actually buy the damned thing), is it is insanely well hinted... this is the one thing Iosevka will never

Thats still a mistake in your thinking, however. Non-WSL Linux systems are the majority. They are in your pocket, in your car, your TV, in space, on Mars. Microsoft will never be a player here but is still invited to the bazaar if they wish

Thats a weird way of putting it. Windows is effectively dead outside of desktops. Nobody that isn't mired in 90s/00s processes (ex: the banking and energy sectors are minor players in the enterprise universe, but are still stuck i

Some people are caffeine hyper-metabolizers. You may be one. And no, the "standard" coffee dose is a single "double"/"cafe" cup (ie, 12oz or ~350ml total) of drip or immersion or pour-over (extraction meth

I, too, want to mention that this has already been working. Any app that works with "real" Xwayland (or already is Wayland native), will work on WSL2. WSL2's Xwayland uses Mesa/DRI's WDDM backend, so its translating

I'd like to also echo this. Best analysis of the history behind the anti-nuclear craze of the 60s and 70s is basically Russia infiltrated the Hippie Movement of the 60s to exploit the "government is bad" soft anarchism (=mina

Gamers Nexus has done such testing for GPUs, dB adjusted performance numbers. No reason you can't for laptops.

I'd also like to say its a great place. I hung out there for awhile when I was giving Emacs another 6 months of my life (as a lifelong vimmer), great community.

Given that Fish is switching to Rust, I'm considering Fish as my alternate shell. I've tried many, but I always end up going back to Bash. Is there any reason why you think Fish isn't enough, and you're looking at super-

Google quiet kills services often. Nobody at the company is tasked with actually working on it, the creator often no longer works at there, the team that built it often either no longer works there or has moved to another team that does som

by DiabloD3 4y ago
Sort of? It's still a valid comment as long as it continues to be true. Google needs to clean house at the top, and go back to engineering-first teams, not engineering-never.

I don't know why this guy is being downvoted. I thought this already was canceled, as (almost?) all 20% time projects at Google have been killed. Last time I heard about this being relevant was, 2015? ish?

Update: Adafruit sells a RP2040 in a Pro Micro clone for $9: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5302 , otherwise seemingly identical as the Sparkfun RP2040 Pro Micro clone. That makes it about as cheap as real ATmega32u4-
