Reminds me of that „A PROJECT SOME RANDOM PERSON IN NEBRASKA HAS BEEN THANKLESSLY MAINTAINING SINCE 2003 image.“ Sorry for caps (transcribed from image).

That’s good though, right? Is there a reason for not using an identity hash (is that the right term?) for integers?

I have been using Vortex POK3R keyboards for a while now and I really enjoy their IJKL arrow keys. I like it so much that it has become a hard requirement for any new keyboard for me. Unfortunately, this rules out most keyboards without fla

I‘m guessing they completely re-shipped Safari and related components in that update. That’s where an actively exploited 0-day has been fixed. Wouldn‘t surprise me for Safari and some system components to be that size.

This is my problem as well. It‘s nice _when_ it kicks in, but too inconsistent. Why oh why can‘t Apple just add a hard 80% limit switch somewhere in the battery settings. What happened to thinking of nature, guys?

I haven‘t tested this thoroughly, but I have a feeling that YouTube also forces worse codecs on Firefox. Codecs that can only decoder on the CPU, making Firefox seem sluggish and wasteful. This is a reason why I switched to Safari on macOS.

Can you elaborate? I‘m not sure how to interpret this in this context.

I instinctively scanned the article for pictures, but didn‘t find any. I closed the tab after 6 seconds.

Thank you! This is great.

Well that put a dent in my respect for Twain. Obeying your parents, the more experienced humans, is generally the better advice. There are exceptions of course. I wonder if Twain had particularly difficult parents, hence his view.

std::vector is fine if you access elements by index, instead of pointer, which can be a perfectly fine approach. Of course this kills the general purpose allocator aspect, since you're not getting back pointers, only offsets. However,

No, I don’t think that works. Last time I checked, type inference doesn‘t work for lambda expressions. Part of the reason - I think - is that lambda expressions need to be boiled down to some concrete @FunctionaInterface interface. You can

Something I don't like: > The argument that a cooperative scheduling is doomed to fail is overblown. Apps are already very much cooperative. For proof, run a version of that on your nice preemptive system: [...] Might fill your swap

I'm glad I'm not the only one who read it like that.

Unrelated, but isn‘t this false? > A deliberately stretched example. Apple laptops are claimed to not need camera privacy shutter, because the recording light is hardware controlled, so the user always knows when the camera is recording.

Thank you. You put into words what I was thinking. The best paradigm in programming has to be procedural style. The cleanest code I’ve written and read has always been procedural. I even maintain a monster VBA Word Macro at work and - after

They‘re teaching them that floats and doubles are numbers with decimal places, and that‘s where most stop. There‘s a reason articles like „Myths programmers believe about floating point“ are written and usually get highly upvoted.

This. It boggles the mind that browser vendors (and standards committee) haven‘t come up with a preferences page for cookie consent. Expose that through JS and/or send it to the server via a HTTP header.

Well, it‘s fairer than cherry picking the most outrageous examples. Though I wonder if he didn‘t get any Reddit cookie banners because he had already accepted them at some point in the past.

It‘s still interesting to see how certain challenges have been solved back in the day. Or as a case study in what _not_ to do today. For example, Quake‘s ingame console commands were stored in a linked list. I believe looking up a command w

Very cool! It seems to struggle with mixed meter music, though (understandably). I've uploaded a song of mine that's mostly in 6/8, but has some bars of 7/8. It still makes smooth transitions, but on the wrong beat, whic

I kind of agree. A while ago I was thinking about how to implement something like Roslyn's red-green-trees in Rust. The solution I came up, with a similar in principle handle-and-allocator approach, did work, but would need the occasio

Wow, I thought I was the only one doing this. Although I‘m now kinda stuck on Cascadia Code, which I adore. Sometimes I wonder what my employer’s IT department would think of me, having installed so many font files on my machine. I also swi

Yup, IPv4 addresses are 32 bit unsigned integers which makes them very convenient to work with. That‘s also what that 50.60.70.80 syntax is about: Those are just the four individual bytes that make up the 32bit integer, separated by a perio

You’re not wrong, but it is everyone’s own responsibility to read the article and not just the headline.

Shaders are programs that run on the GPU. That term, like all others, come from the graphics processing background and history of GPUs. Like the CPU, a GPU only understands its own instruction set. If you want to run software on a GPU, you

Freeform is their attempt to boost iPad and Apple Pen Sales. For what it does, it’s decent. With office suite I guess you mean Pages, Numbers, etc? How have those been abandoned? What are you missing?

Pretty cool, but maybe a bit busy? Would make a good screensaver.
