It was completely unusable on my M1 MacBook on Chrome, I suspect it's hitting some degenerate webgl/driver edge case.

The weird thing is that I actually don't care even a little bit about graphics and really want a scaled down experience (partially as a parent it's not possible to spend hundreds of hours on a game anymore... or even 20). But it&#

It absolutely would not be a spectacle to the degree of being discussed on a technology site 50 years later if people braided her hair. It's not an accident that she put a number of violent items out and had her assistants riling peopl

I don't know, it seems pretty in pocket with seeing "this is an art exhibit and I want wild shit to happen". Comparing it to a normal real world interaction where you expect people to just hang out and chat is ridiculous, if

Are you flagging the word "sexy" or are you asking whether some important projects are fun and exciting and other important projects boring? Surely maintaining 40 year old bank Cobol code is important but it's not considered

Minor thing, if you look at the citation it says that they don't want to hand over official control of official branches to Canonical because they don't trust them to engage with the community, with those citations OP must have me

New code written today will use the new version and have the correct behavior from day 1. Old code that is maintained will eventually be upgraded, which yes does come with work sometimes where you realize your code works on version X but no

It's probably both that is leaking your source out and the risk of it being a copyright violation if it spits out some GPL source verbatim and you check it in.

It seems like compilers should have an interactive mode where it suggests code that is very similar but not technically perfectly the same that is more efficient and the can accept or decline the alternate version.

Every other one can be justified by the size of char/int are not fixed, but instead the standard defines a minimum size. Int is usually 32 bit but it's allowed to be 16 bit or anything larger. Char is usually 8 bit but can arbitra

That suggestion seems very reminiscent of the notion that optimally compressing wikipedia is the same problem as what generative LLMs are doing, by virtue of predicting the next letter/word/segment with high precision lets you com

I've been advised that in the US it's not possible to declare something public domain, that the closest thing is CC0 or a similar license. But surely if he doesn't have the right to give specific licenses to individuals he do

I've been a swe at big cos for 10 years and I believe this because that's literally what the lawyers repeatedly informed me was the case. Every significant launch involves a moment where a senior engineer meets with legal counsel

Slack is accessible by third parties in the same way that phone calls and emails are, namely that many employees of the companies that own the infrastructure can observe all of the communication but are told only to do so under very specifi

It's hard to see the line here: if a lawyer has a 1:1 meeting with someone and tells them that using certain terms can be legally risky that's protected? If he has a group meeting with 10 execs to advise the same? One lawyer gives

There's hardly any AAA titles that use Unity, the most well known ones are games like Hearthstone, Cuphead, Beat Saber. These are great games but they're not exactly GTA 6 or Call if Duty.

I think most people use vscode exactly like they would use IntelliJ; it's hard for me to justify that vscode is an editor but intellij isn't.

There's multiple issues reported, only the first one appears to be UTF-16 related and all of the reported issues trigger the issue with simply opening a malicious text file. The referenced conversion presumably happens eagerly so the e

Yeah; the difference between Box and a regular object would be the object is on the heap instead of the stack (just like it is with uniqueptr). I say its a footgun to have an implicitly copyable uniqueptr because a reasonable use of using t

In this case the court said to block illegal content, and here are the IP addresses where that content is served which should be blocked. It passes the sniff test of the lawyers as not much different than blocking domains of piracy sites. T

It doesn't seem that complicated: they want unique_ptr that is copyable and copies the underlying pointee as well. I think this would be way too big of a footgun: with implicit copy it would be too easy to pass box instead of box&

Courts don't work like computer programs, if the court order would have clearly unintended outcomes then you have some option to in good faith not comply with the order, have your lawyers raise it with the right politicians or courts,

Do famous people really choose not to speak at MIT Commencement because they won't get an honorary degree for it? You'd think "spoke at MIT Commencement" would be an equal line item for a CV given the context.
