Selfishly, this will be a minor win for me. I occasionally like to try indie games from itch. For safety reasons, these are obviously run inside a VM. Unity games have always run like garbage on this setup, so the more developers migrating

Is there really any alternative? Data migrations are always going to be terrible. You need to slowly roll out the incremental changes so that everything is backwards compatible until you the threshold point where you can finally delete the

Why do you hate capitalism? Not engaging in monthly services, consuming additional ads, or letting Apple sniff your data in the cloud. I too am saddened by what feels like a deliberate tactic to further cripple the already locked down cable

That's a cute trick with the ATOM feed content-type. Simple idea, that probably(?) will not trip up any dedicated readers, but makes a nice usability win.

Eukaryotic cell is such a bonkers insane development, I definitely lean towards the impossibly lucky scenario. There was no need for that to be the origin story of a mitochondria like organelle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Could they expand this to the other garbage software suites hardware companies get to auto-install? I plugged a Logitech mouse into my work laptop, and Windows helpfully installed a Logitech control utility. Lacking admin, I cannot disable

I guess we should rewrite it in Rust. Airplane logistics feels like one of the most complicated systems running today. A single airline has to track millions of entities: planes, parts, engineers, luggage, cargo, passengers, pilots, gate ag

Airport software predates basically every standard on the planet. I would not be surprised to learn that they have their own bizarro world implementation of ASCII, unix epoch time, etc.

Throwing a loop of numbers on the end seems far more feasible. I put together a hasty Python implementation which can immediately find three hits at 5 characters. TQDM is reporting ~450k tries per second, so depending on how lucky you are,

Why not? No matter how small, as a tax-payer, I helped fund that development. National security, it is not. Should qualify as public domain.

Evidently Paradise Lost has been in development so long, that someone scooped their game concept (metroidvania where an alien is terrorizing the humans), Carrion[0]. Although, Carrion leaned significantly harder into the horror element than

I might just be over-caffeinated, but I would accidentally chord that all the time. I am continually bouncing up and down text when I am noodling on an idea.

It is fraud. As a consumer, I want companies to be required to state facts, not words that inspire feelings-like a superior product.

Not speaking for ML, but I love jsonl as a distribution format. Lots of storage overhead vs a more appropriate bulk container, but it makes it trivial to stream, sample, concatenate, etc. Anything else (eg csv or parquet) is going to requir

From a preservation angle, how big is Books3? Is it easy enough for mortals to mirror for that unlikely future where it might be possible to self-train reasonably good models from scratch if provisioned with data?

One potential readability improvement - if the numbers in the tables were all right aligned. More controversial opinion - if you standardized all of the sizes onto either TiB or GiB. Anyway, very cool. I am shocked at how many header files

You reminded me of this article[0] where the author asks why not dataclasses by default? I am inclined to agree, dataclasses feel Pythonic in that they remove boilerplate with reasonable defaults (sorting, hashing, etc). [0] https:/&#

Is there any intuition about how frequently data-at-rest errors occur vs data-in-flight? Would the native DDR5 ECC get me 90% of the way there or is it so minor as to be effectively meaningless? I assume it is going to take another decade t

More-so, what tooling relies upon StrictYAML? I can immediately point to the TOML spec and every language is going to have a library which reads it. Some off-brand YAML flavor is not ideal. We cannot even standardize on JSON5. As superior-b
