I’m not a blind person but I was curious about once when I tried to make a hyper-optimized website. It seemed like the best way to please screen readers was to have the navigation HTML come last, but style it so it visually comes first (top

The original repo is about using a subset of a language to compare language implementations. I can see the point in that. But language benchmarks like this are incredibly useless and very easy to get wrong anyway. For example it you actuall

When he introduces himself to a new audience on podcasts his standard intro is that he is not a performance guy, and he refers to his past colleagues who he learned a lot from as being on a higher tier than him. He preaches reasonable perfo

I implemented the OpenGL API for fixed function hardware once, and chose the cut off at 1.5 with some extensions like framebuffer objects. 1.x has a lot of cruft that nobody should use, but is still easy to implement. 2.x has a lot of stuff

Just yesterday I saw another Hetzner thread where someone claimed AWS beats them in uptime and someone else blasted AWS for huge incidents. I bet his coffee tastes better this morning.

This stuff is sometimes difficult to search for because people don’t name it or there are many different names. Arena allocation on windows for example is basically calling VirtualAlloc for a couple gigabytes on a 64 bit system (you have te

Are you alluding to the microsoft terminal fiasco? It was the other way around: his terminal supported more text features.

No, the employer would have to provide training and show that the employee is willfully not participating. That’s legally challenging for non-trivial stuff.

I think thread pools are one of those solved problems that the silent majority of C programmers has solved ages ago and doesn’t release open source projects for. I’ve also written my 300 line for pool and allocator together and always laugh

In order to fire a German employee outside of their multiple month trial period they have to commit a crime or willfully ignore instructions, or the company must be in financial trouble due to outside circumstances. Underperforming is not a

I recently read the lifework book of a nobel prize winning psychologist and it was full of these disproven experiments. As a non-psychologist my trust in the experts is extremely low.

Regarding your second paragraph, those issues are equally catastrophic for game engines. Therefore they generally use (float x,y,z,int zone_id) to reset the origin and avoid floating point errors. Think MMOs, open world games, etc. There ar

Yes, it violates the standard, although in practice it should work because the alignment is the same.

As neither Korean nor American I wonder: how is this the US government’s problem? Koreans should complain about their bosses to the Korean government.

I think most security issues are just due to people not parsing input at all/properly. Then security consultants give each one a new name as if it was something new. :-)

Now imagine your solution is not on a distributed system and go through that list. Centralized logging? There is nothing to centralized. Secrets management? There are no secrets to be constantly distributed to various machines on a network.

While I’m pessimistic I do hope they turn their ship around. We don’t benefit from having less diversity in that market.

There are binary files with text header, e.g. PCD (pointcloud data) writes the payload type, point count, point attribute names and types as text, and the list of points is stored in text, binary, or compressed.

That whole post reads like a parody. Making fun of other config formats, only to go full blown category theory to explain one can merge config files.. Also weird to use key-value maps as basic type instead of lists, then having to make list

I have wondered about this for a long time, but HN seems to talk about this topic rather often for a tech site. Why is this the case? I don’t think this is the right place for such discussions and they never lead anywhere.

So real people without beauty surgery are unrealistic to you, although they exist in reality. That obviously can’t be it. So I take it what you actually are trying to say is “this shouldn’t be considered the standard”? But it’s not the stan

Reading the comments it seems to me that people focus on disallowing visa to censor. I think the bigger issue is that nobody can create an alternative payment processor and do business with Steam/Itch, because visa will pressure Steam&
