We tend to forget, being so used to them, but both C and C++ have playful names (C is a successor to B, and C++ is an incremented version of C) UNIX also has a playful name (from Multics)

The package manager is an integral part of how the language is intended to be used in everyday practice, so it makes sense that it would be mentioned in the book, though.

It could be argued that it's not a good look for Ubuntu's support of copyleft, but MIT license _is_ free software, as per the FSF definition of free software.

Meta-question: Given how common :: is in programming languages, and how rare of a typo it is, is it really worth it for HN's title filtering logic to include a rule for automatically replacing it with a single :?

It is extremely hard to make a phone detector that's able to detect only phones in a specific room, considering how far the cellular signals can travel, and how pervasive wifi is for everything

You don't have to search the students. Or even put the phones in a locker. You just make the rules about them known, and if students are found using a phone during class, they can just be punished with detention/suspension. I don&

Culturally, the first person is not reserved only for human entities, for example the "don't pet me, I'm working" vests on service dogs, or the juvenile prank of writing "wash me" on a dirty car. Beyond these e

The pixel checkerboard pattern on the page's background paired with smooth scrolling on an LCD display can unfortunately result in some distracting flashing afterimages. Perhaps the issue could be reduced by using `background-attachmen

If I understand it correctly, this seems to be more than just quantizing, the models are apparently trained in this format as well. So it's possible that the many layers adjust themselves in a way that "cancels out" the inacc

I believe that they're just waiting for Firefox to ship it, at which point it will be upgraded to Stage 4 and included in ES2024.

The networks trained were really small, with only one hidden layer, and a width of 16.

You can now opt in to the proper interpolation with the `in srgb-linear` option: linear-gradient(in srgb-linear, ...) Works in Safari/Chrome but not yet on Firefox

C is a much simpler language, so it's far easier to reason about the semantics of "unsafe" code. For example: Rust has destructors (Drop trait) that run automatically when a value goes out of scope or is overwritten. If memor

It's like a docker/package manager for the LLMs. You can easily install them, discover new ones, update them via a standardized, simple CLI. It also auto updates effortlessly.

When I saw the name "Toledo" I sorta knew I was in for a treat. Familia Toledo is somewhat legendary, they are a multigenerational family of coders from Mexico who did an operating system and a browser in the 90s.

My gut feeling with how far they've come in so little time says it's definitely in the double digit percentage points.

I am also looking forward to that, but I think the Serenity philosophy is to not make any long term plans and commitments. If the language becomes mature enough, and there are people interested enough in doing that porting, it will likely h

When you open sites on other "new" browser engines you typically get a really butchered visual result, with layouts completely broken, elements missing, wrong colors, etc. For example, Servo didn't support floats until recent

Isn't this just `&dyn Trait`? Would it be a stack allocated, owning version of that, that can be moved? A pure `dyn Trait`?

With HiDPI/Retina displays, that 24px is actually 48px or 72px, so the need for pixel hinting is much less commonplace than it was 10 or 15 years ago. Also, nothing's really stopping most developers from just scaling it naively to

This tool has been incredibly useful to me for getting a high level overview of compiled binaries and JS bundles: you can typically tell if something fishy is getting included by the unexpected changes in entropy/categories. Thanks!

iOS popup menus have actual separators, they are much thicker than those lines around each item. They just haven't shipped hr for select support in Safari for iOS yet (they will in 17.4, you can try it in the beta) For an example of ho

I wonder why they only sent one? Why couldn't they send 3-5 identical helicopters so they still had a few more to spare? (The hover weights ~1000kg, the helicopter ~1kg)

What's frustrating is that we get the annoying things like the cookie popups everywhere but the beneficial stuff is somehow properly region locked to inside the EU?
