If you change the region from "Worldwide" to "United States", you can see a much more concerning long-term trend.

I hated the most recent redesign with the jumbo user chrome. So much so that I jumped ship. Went to Opera for a bit, no on Vivaldi. Vivaldi: Has a pleasant looking UI, is easy to customize the color scheme, has a TON of options for various

In theory, sure. In practice, how many orgs serve on both example.com and www.example.com yet operate each as entirely separate sites? I cannot think of any example.

Earlier this month we integrated a C++ library written by my team with a server written by another team. We saw the data corruption, and we knew it was a reference issue, but it took quite a bit of effort to track down. The cause was confus

PyLance and the remote extensions are developed by Microsoft. They intentionally do not work with the open source editor.

The government wants everyone to have more daylight hours after work, since that's correlated with higher economic activity. From the government's perspective, they cannot force all companies to shift their working hours, but they

The viral part of GPL only applies when code is statically linked against other GPL code. Anything statically linked to GPL code becomes GPL. However, distributing GPL code along side proprietary libraries that are dynamically linked togeth

Fundamentally, the argument is that error handling in C is bad. That's both a language and a library problem.

If "new" is not allowed in the game's title, then delist the game. That seems like a fair and justified reaction. Deleting OP's developer account is neither fair nor justified.

> safe from a pinning perspective The reason you can't get &mut T from Pin<Arc<T>> is because the mutable reference lets you move the data in safe Rust, e.g. with std::mem::swap. So getting the &mut T from a Pin&

That 6 kB WebP looks awful . This seems a bit apples-to-oranges. To make the argument that WebP is better than dithering, the author should compare the 30 kB dithered image to a 30 kB WebP. Or even compare to a smaller WebP that lacks obvi

An underrated property of braces in this case is that a truncated document is no longer valid (assuming your document only has one top-level item). Truncate YAML and in most cases you still have valid YAML.

There are 4x Thunderbolt 4 hubs. - 4x Thunderbolt 4 (1x with power supply) - 3x USB-A 3.2 - 1x USB-A 2.0 (with power supply) - 1x Gigabit Ethernet - 1x UHS-II SDXC - 1x Audio Actually, it looks like this same hub is sold by both Sonnettech

Last I heard, there were graphics driver issues left to iron out. Linux 5.13 was the first with M1 support. Dunno if that's enough for M1 Pro/Max.

In the power/performance curves provided by Apple, they imply that the Pro/Max provides the same level of performance at a slightly lower power consumption than the original M1. But at the same time, Apple isn't providing a

My favorite way to solve constraint satisfaction problems is by using the the excellent CLP(FD) or CLP(Z) libraries for Prolog. A sudoku solver can be written in just a few lines [1]. [1]: https://github.com/triska/clpf

They do say the dataset is for pretraining. If your application needs the ability to identify humans, then your fine-tuning dataset would include humans. This seems totally appropriate for pretraining on natural images IMO.

I just maintain an install script to do the linking. It's just a few lines of zsh to mirror one directory into another with symlinks. I've found that the bare repo approach has too many rough edges, and that the various dotfile ma

Merely being owned by a Chinese investment group is not enough for me to distrust a company. The allegations of predatory lending are cause for concern. Still, the browser has been solid in my 7 days of use so far.

Any specific reasons to not use Opera? I actually just switched this week, being fed up with Firefox. So far so good. I very much like the UI/UX. I hope this isn't just another case of "China bad". Edit: Ah, I see the li

My ELI5 for this has always been that static vs dynamic concerns variables; strong vs weak concerns objects. - Static + Weak = C - Static + Strong = Haskell - Dynamic + Strong = Python - Dynamic + Weak = JS

The 11 AM Yoga class does not sound ridiculous to me precisely because of the nature of tech work: we don't need to all be working together at the exact same time, as opposed to most other jobs. Want to trade an hour in the middle of

But it's on by default, just like Reddit apps are required to have NSFW filters on by default. I dunno if it's possible to do this kind of filter on Matrix. That said, if they go with this argument, the precedent would have to app
