While not technically misleading, I also find it a bit misleading. When told it's going to be a "texture less text rendering", I was thinking of procedural drawing of glyphs, not embedding bitmaps in a shader instead of a tex

This is absolutely amazing. The pictures are very detailed and done with taste, there is no ads to be seen, the website is well organized. This rivals any high end coloring book I've seen, you are very talented! My kid will be thrilled

Cool, at last we can now `curl | mdx` Github readmes instead of copy pasting `curl | bash` from them!

Very counter-intuitive, yet after reading the sources definitely factual. Thanks for pointing that out.

It's not that the borrow checker is too difficult, it's that it's too limiting. The _static_ borrow checker can only check what is _statically_ verifiable, which is but a subset of valid programs. There are few things more fr

> can't we use that to emulate all our Mifare cards? Unfortunately, no. From my experience at least, most access cards are simple mifare classic cards, and they have no payload: the reader just got a list of allowed card IDs, mainta

Right I agree with you on theory. But in practice, I already do clone most of my smart cards on small NFC stickers on the back of my phone case. The things is 99.9% of access cards (where I leave at least) are default-encrypted mifare class

Is there a similar ring with NFC? I have no use for the smart health thingies, which really look like a data driven health gimmicks to me. NFC on the other hand I could find hundreds of applications, from payment to access and transport car

I dont quite understand why the author bothers with creating ctypes bindings to the shm C API while using public shared memories. You are better served by using a tmpfs (e.g. /dev/shm) and the regular python file API + mmap. Also

I have used OpenBSD as my daily driver for maybe 3/4 years, though I stopped after a dispute over the merge of some of my patches which I found petty. My experience on the good side: - OpenBSD has a very clean code base. Simple and to

There are usually a number of people in L1 roles looking to transition to more development. You can have them be L2 by having 1/3 of their time spent contributing to bug fixes and small features of the software so they get to know it b

The problem is not the timestamping, it's the queue used to push profiling events which is not fast enough

It does reach nanosecond only in the sense that its sampling profiler can report nanosecond resolution. I've tried the event profiler for microsecond sensitive projets though, and it blows up the timings and latency even at low event f

What I've experienced working well is to consider platform/infra as just another dev team. They should experience the same good practices (staging changes, tests, documentation, clean code) and duties (level 2 on calls, regular po

Something very close, but that's not what you would expect for something that markets itself as a C++ library IMHO. Especially in 2024, most people would hope (or assume) that "C++" means "C++ 11" at least. Definite

What irks me the most is that in 2024, I still can't reliably embed source code in dwarf5 to get meaningful source-contextualized stacktraces and have to ship source code separately and override the source mapping.

Oh indeed, I looked at the GDP numbers and divided by the current population ratio, looks like it changed more than I thought across time.

If you consider US versus any single European country yes. But we are talking about US getting brains from all over Europe. The combined GDP of the top 3 European countries (Germany, UK, France) pre WW1/2 is larger than the US, just as

Well the beautiful thing about software engineering is that pretty much everything is possible, it essentially boils down to "but should you really"? :-)

I mean, we've seen impacts of these unstaged updates in the deeper layers of banks, airports and hospitals. It's unfair that CrowdStrike gets more than half the blame here. Not to mention, probably half these companies were actual

US embargos are much, much more than just preventing Country <-> US trades. - The US applies embargo transitively. That means any movement of fund related to an embargoed country and transiting to the US is illegal. In other words, yo
