As an AI skeptic, I’ve been brought around to using Claude Code to understand a codebase, like when I need to quickly find where something happens through a tower of abstractions. Crucially, this relies on Claude actually searching my codeb

Yes, the fact that functions in NTDLL issue a syscall instruction is a platform-specific implementation detail.

I’m curious why the author chose to model this as an assertion stack. The developer must still remember to consume the assertion within the loop. Could the original example not be rewritten more simply as: const result: ast.Expression

The golf swing is extremely non-intuitive for several reasons, not the least of which is the physics of trying to swing a hunk of metal at the end of a 3-foot rod around your body at 100mph. Fixing one thing will often send something else o

I’m curious why you used `@_silgen_name` to forward-declare the Darwin notification APIs. Does `import Darwin` not make them available?

Again, my suspicion is that you are actually seeing the ICC profile being applied correctly, and it is the pixel values in your image that are incorrect. A good test would be to run a single 100% sRGB red pixel through your image processing

Given the Safari team has been the major driving force behind support for wide gamut in web browsers (for the very obvious reason that all Apple devices ship with wide-gamut displays), I am extremely suspicious of the author’s assertion tha

It’s absolutely debunked, unless you think there’s somehow a chance that the guy who was classmates with the murdered M.I.T. professor, attended Brown University for postgrad, and was seen on CCTV at Brown is somehow not the Brown univers

99pi articles are transcripts of the podcast episodes. I said what I remembered hearing when I listened to the podcast episode last week, which I apparently misremembered.

My understanding from the episode is that the plan was never for the public lands to grow in value. The private lands were given away or sold as incentives, and the owners could choose to capitalize off them immediately (e.g. as soon as

The linked tweet shows the door of an exosuit opening and a human climbing in. Is there any more context, like video of the door closing, the human/exosuit performing any tasks, or the exosuit surviving harmful environments? xcancel do

This is what macOS codesigning does. Notarization goes one step further and anchors the signature to an Apple-owned CA to attest that Apple has tied the signature to an Apple developer account.

It’s useful background if you don’t understand how paying tariffs works for small individual shipments. This is something most Americans who buy stuff from abroad haven’t had to deal with until the ending of de minimis.

I guess we can’t know precisely how this happened without seeing UPS’s original Form 7501. The amended one sounds strange. Why did they claim that the duty for the actual HTS code is $0, and attribute the entirety of the tariff to the speci

Oof, so free software didn’t do the job despite a ton of effort and leveraging a boatload of past experience, and the paid software gave a misleading impression of success before accepting Jeff’s money, only for the actual fix to be burie

Nowadays people expect their terminals to handle UTF-8, or at least the Latin-like subset of Unicode, without dealing with arcana such as codepages. For even the simplest fonts, rendering something like í likely requires drawing multiple gl

FWIW you cannot have Unicode-correct rendering by caching at the codepoint (what many people would call “character”) level. You can cache bitmaps for the individual “glyphs”—that is, items in the font’s `glyf` table. But your shaping engine

Fullscreen tri is not necessarily the way. If the GPU has significant penalties for rejecting fragments, or your text is sparse, you should probably use form-fitting quads or polys. Also, monospace (and implicitly, Latin) is doing a huge am
