I've gotten notices from Hetzner for hosting IPFS node, apparently it does some local network discovery by default which looks like a malware when you squint hard enough.

Don't forget that some of the new features are mutually incompatible. For example couple years ago you couldn't use the "new ui system" with the "new input system" even when both were advertised as ready/a

As someone who's learned Vulkan to a fairly deep level over the last two years I've found learning with LLMs invaluable, especially for explaining concepts and the whys behind things. That said debugging graphics bugs has to be so

Doesn't that make people with best opportunities (most skilled workers) leave and people with least opportunities (least skilled workers) stay? Personally if I was offered 6+ months of severance I just couldn't justify staying ev

You joke, but I remember seeing a talk by Wunderlist CTO who has pretty much that. Also polyglot company and microservices in random languages. Can't find the talk now, but https://www.infoq.com/news/2014/11&#

KYC data is the most dangerous data that can leak right now. If your CC leaks, you will know almost immediately and can revoke it and generally will get your money back. Password leaks can be neutered with 2FA. Medical data leak can perhaps

I think that biggest difference is that your client applications don't need to be explicitly configured to use the bastion server. For example ssh, web browsers, rdp, samba and so on can just pretend that you are inside the target netw

Oh wow, the guy used the word "versatility"... he even dared "narrative" and "just" - the latter one two times! Astonishing, does he have no shame copy pasting this obvious AI slop? It is obvious that no person

But that's just classically styled library like bootstrap? How is it in any way similar to shadcn where you copy the component definitions to your code and restyle them with tailwind? It looks visually similar, but completely misses th

I also wonder about it recently. Also in regards to Rust which is hailed as the great savior but has the same, minimal, approach to standard library and needs loads of dependencies.

LunarG is working on first party Vulkan driver for MacOS https://www.lunarg.com/lunarg-achieves-vulkan-1-3-conformanc... . My understanding is performance is worse than MoltenVK at this point, but it's getting there.

I don't think that more minutes of contact is better for anybody. As a patient, I want to spend as little time with a doctor as possible and still receive maximally useful treatment. As a doctor, I would want to extract maximal comp fr

GPU memory model quite different from CPU memory model, with application level explicit synchronization and coherency and so on. I don't think that transparent compression would be possible, and even if it would surely carry drastic pe

This is the real killer feature of Vulkan/DX12, it makes writing generalized renderer so much easier because you don't need to batch draw calls per vertex layout of individual meshes. Personally I use Buffer Device Address for con

I've turned on fastmath in python numba compiler while thinking "of course i want faster math, duh". Took me a while to find out it was a cause of many "fun" subtle bugs. Never touching that stuff again.

LINQ in EntityFramework certainly isn't perfect, but frankly it's so far ahead of anything else available in all other languages. It was a brilliant idea to add expressions type into the language AND to create a standard set of in

It looks great, but I'm missing what's innovative about this? AAA procedural folliage has been done for 20 years, terrain too. Blender has had procedural geo nodes for a long time too. What is so interesting here?

I've bought used 3090 last year for ML and while it works fine, has correct DRAM and stuff, when I tried gaming on it I've noticed that it is significantly slower than my 3080. I'm not sure if the seller has pulled some shena

Pangui seems really cool. Especially since it's from people developing Unity plugins so we could get good GUI for games too.

We're mostly talking about FPS here, you've got 2 main cheat categories: aimbots and esps (visibility hacks) Esps are purely client side, they read actors from game's memory and draw a client side overlay. It's impossibl

What's a difference between this domain model and the service then? In your example you'd have a Login service and all the code related to login would have to go through the Login service, right? Why do you need the additional dom

That is the future, but I don't think we are quite so far just yet. Right now quality TTS is very expensive and too slow for realtime. Then there are obvious IP issues. Also many books need subtle edits for audio version. I don't
