flatpaks are sometimes funky with highly optimized software - they tend to need lower level access to hardware, which flatpakking sometimes gets in the way of. check if you have hardware acceleration, maybe other stuff? `about:support` has

Yeah, I kinda read that as "it's not just a chromium fork with additional code. the code is organized . nobody has ever done that before!"

Oh yes please, they're delicious when you soak them in vinegar to deactivate the poison. And the tangy vinegar addition goes really nicely with the rest of the Wellington.

I've been considering downgrading tbh. The new stuff is mostly good, but the infinite-page conflicts a lot with other gestures (I really wish I could disable it) and it's overall noticeably slower nowadays.

There are some (the article's author builds a pretty sophisticated one: https://github.com/destel/rill ), but the ecosystem spent a very long time vilifying abstraction and generics and we're going to be payi

This is a very neat effect and it looks great , but I feel I have to ask: As much as I of course want a holographic Charizard, I'm really not fond of sparkly foil effects on... anything. Stickers, cards, I mostly think it just looks b

Ha, and it uses the gyroscope too - that's excellent work

That's a rather special case: they and Cadence control when calls into their code unblocks, and they use that to run your code as if it was a single-threaded event loop. That way, the stuff they do can be deterministic while simulatin

Well over half of the code I've ever seen that uses three or more channels (i.e. two semantic ones plus a cancellation or shutdown) has had serious flaws in it. Granted, that generally means they're doing something non-trivial wit
821.
by Groxx 1y ago
Their planned semantics don't allow for that - there's no backpressure in that system, so it might race ahead and process up to e.g. item 100 while still working on item 1. If everything fits in memory, that's completely fine

Okay, yea, that was a fun read. Thanks for the article/post/what the heck is the right term anyway! I learned lots of things I did not expect to learn today.

It does not, which is easy to verify from the source. Every func passed in is always run (with the exception of TryGo which is explicitly "maybe"). At best, using the optional, higher-effort errgroup.WithContext will cancel the c

There are so many of them that I've always kinda suspected this, yea. I maybe-literally never saw anyone in any of them across a few years prior to COVID (despite working near enough to two that I saw them multiple times a day). Bu

There are heat-pump water heaters, if that fills in a conceptual gap. The main complaint I've seen with them has just been that they're slow, but that's more of a product-design (at a price point) issue than anything fundame

tbh it seems intentional to me, and I broadly prefer it. I would much rather have a hot device than a loud fan, at very nearly all times I use a computer. hot aluminum dissipates heat quite well, just passively cool as long as possible pl

Obviously yes. They all routinely treat my "thingsByID" array like a dictionary - it's a compact array where ID = index though. They even screw that up inside the tiny function that populates it. If anything IMO, they over-v
