Simula is pretty good. I tried the software with my HTC Vive (1st Gen!) and it is way more readable than any other VR text I saw. So maybe ultra-high resolution isn't strictly required. If you have a VR headset that is compatible, why

There’s PayDirekt, the would-be homegrown PayPal alternative. Only nobody cares.

Maybe you wouldn’t have access to the history of a stolen credit card or something?

The only "trick" I'm aware of is when signing into accounts in certain (Microsoft) applications. You will get a prompt where you need to select to only sign into this specific app. Other patterns pushing you to use a Microsof

Is there any way to enable anti-aliasing for stuff like that? I think CSS had something for image resampling, maybe something similar exists here? It doesn’t look too great on Firefox (Windows 10) for me. It’s better on Edge, but still not

Sure, but this friend is also changing. Suddenly now it verifies peer dependencies. Oops.

Because the interface this module plugs into is not specific to optic data transmission. Also, remember how LEDs and lasers want constant current. A regulator circuit would be required anyway.

Good, now maybe Spotify will up their lyrics game. It’s sometimes great but often mediocre at best. I also really miss the days when Singstar was a thing, or even UltraStar, the open source “clone”.

Yeah, saw it in another thread. Wasn’t aware, will definitely give it a look!

Wanted to do that, too, but had problems with the SCD30’s I2C peculiarities. And now the RP Zero is somewhat broken, bummer. Next I’ll try with a Arduino ESP32 thing. The sensor was expensive, it has to work. :-D

Sort-of. I have a Postgres flexible database in the West Germany Central region that can no longer be scaled. It was only created for testing purposes, so no biggie. The backend is basically a managed Compute resource. If you need more reli

Exactly nothing will happen because this "Authority" does not actually have any power. It also does not represent any federal state, much less Germany as a whole.

Allow me to present the strangest thing then: A tax filing website – made by the tax office! Such a thing exists, in Germany, aptly named „Elster“ (magpie).

My previous employer also had a (proprietary) data transformation system like that, with a column-oriented table data structure and lazy evaluation. It was also part of a larger hierarchical system of (table) data sources and sinks. Powerfu

One widely-used example is Angular. (It may have changed, I’m not entirely up-to-date.) The Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc) creates optimized code of Angular component libraries right next to the original files inside node_modules .

When using an App Service, you can have it mount a Blob Container or File Share. Dunno how well that works for a database though.

Could you please elaborate on the shared access issues? Is this about multiple processes using the same database? (I recently found LiteDB while researching log destinations.)

optional or repeated are not semantically correct for a required field though. I’d rather not pollute the contract this way. It doesn’t lend itself to automatically generating documentation from the schema either. Guess I’ll take anothe

In general, I agree. The problem is that serialization (at least with proto3) is “lossy”. As I mentioned elsewhere in the discussion, proto3 messages discard certain information in the name of efficiency. The end result (message semanticall

You’re right! Dunno why I dismissed Thrift in my research, but I definitely missed this fact.

No, it is, at least for C# and the default/"official" code generator. The docs (proto3) say this: “Also note that if a scalar message field is set to its default, the value will not be serialized on the wire.”
326.
by fuzzy2 4y ago
The problem is with default values: they are not sent over the wire. You cannot determine whether that false was deliberate or the sender just forgot to set it to true . I understand that "elastic" contracts may make some stuff

The problem I see with JSON is its limited set of “native” types. I really wish it had specified support for proper numeric types (int, uint, various widths) and not just doubles. A timestamp type would be great as well. What I really lik

I’m all for native UIs, but if you must go cross-platform, it’s often not worth it. Why bother with the specifics of Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS. Just build one mediocre UI to rule them all. Electron does not have to be slow, just

Maybe using filesystem snapshots (either directly on supported filesystems or using LVM or the like) could remove the bottleneck here. Are you monitoring the system status? How’s the CPU and I/O load when the backup is running?
