It's probably not a callout post and more of a venting/"talking about my day" kinda post.

It looks/sounds like she's wired four ~thoughts~ to buttons but also uses eye tracking for movement. cf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXzncNh7rr8 "I Made a Mind-Controlled Game Controller" which isn&#x

The author (disclaimer: former coworker) has likely learned about UDP before yesterday because he's been complaining about TCP for years.

Why does a web server have significantly more cold start overhead than whatever is receiving requests and passing them to the handler in the classic lambda case?

by ben0x539 2y ago
Yeah no you certainly can do that, but imo it's kinda weird when it's not even something important or anything.

You could also respect the author's desire for this audience to not engage with his takes and move on. Either works.

It's a usage that predates and conceivably inspired Google-brand Chrome (and by contrast arguably Rust?), referring to the UI parts of the browser rather than, I think, rendering and javascript and stuff.

I mean, it's a way to set priorities. Even it turns out not to be an iron clad guarantee, having taken that pledge means when people end up taking too much time fixing bugs, it's already consensus that that's not acceptable,

I think they meant the other way around, someone pays $5 for a VPS to spam unauthorized requests to your S3 bucket to get Amazon to bill you $1000.

You shoulda decided whether this is a "economic sanction" infraction or a "we can't let you drive for safety reason" infraction. If you decided it's the former, you shouldn't get to change it to the latter

That ruling is really exasperating. The judge not accepting that the size of the tetris field is part of the rules of tetris is really weird to me. The tetronimoes don't even look similar in their comparison given the constraints of sh

Yeah it's definitely an improvement, but even with the "after" screenshot I can't imagine voluntarily using this % scaled rendering. I'm going to turn into a bitmap font absolutist.

That's a weird rhethorical flourish. If there isn't a need to prioritize work to fix the thing we're complaining about, I guess we can stop complaining about it.

> I wonder what it is that leads to such inefficiency. My understanding is that there is little corporate funding available to resource compiler engineers to prioritize "do nothing and exit" workloads.

Everybody thinks their machines aren't within reach of a 3rd party until they are!

No, they're mocking the notion that children actually want to be economically exploited. The specific phrase has some history in related online discourse.

You're not supposed to be afraid of segfaults, you're supposed to be afraid of the incorrect memory accesses that don't get caught by segfaults.

The current meta for disabling right click seems to be invisible but tangible divs on top of the thing you don't want people to right-click. ... maybe they could add something like ctrl-shift-rightclick to get the context menu on the t

(If I understand you correctly, a workaround is to switch focus to the address bar first so the ctrl-f goes to the browser chrome and not the page.)

Supported as in the software lets you do it, rather than there's people being paid to keep the software alive, presumably. A rather lower bar.

I wrote it up in a bit more detail[1], so I'm giving away the punch line here, but I used to use some cursed bash wrappers to smuggle my bashrc and vimrc along on ssh sessions to mostly-ephemeral hosts by stashing them in environment v

Is usability really just one flaw, like, could we get some usability experts to sit down with it for a couple months and then it's perfect?

fwiw, when I wrote this reply, the post I responded to said the original title was uneditorialized.

That sounds hella editorialized.

Nice writeup! What a fun genre of crime! Aside: I understand the tradition of affixing the title of the submission with the date the submitted article was published, but I really thought I was gonna learn about a 2022 game here. :(

Uh, I'm reading it to mean a scholar researching propaganda committed by other people, not a scholar engaging in propaganda or developing new propaganda tech.

I assume people are less shocked and more upset in, you know, that weary and disappointed way. Sometimes it's good to loudly complain about bad things happening even if you're not surprised about them happening!
