Lots of production software is written in Python, for better or for worse. In fact, production software gets written in every language eventually, no matter the intent of its designers. Maybe you only write your production software in C a

Hmm, could you explain what makes it terrible?

Well I use it, not that that means much :) Tried several "json replacement" formats (bson, cbor, msgpack, ion...) and json5 won by being the smallest after compression (on my data) while also having the nice bonus of retaining hum

An exception to being outdated or significantly less powerful than the competition... Like the original comment said...

cmov doesn't go through the branch predictor, and AFAIK it even loads both operands unconditionally every time before checking the condition. I see no reason to consider it a branch, and have never heard anybody else categorize it as o

I've been using this website for years (since it's one of the top results on Google) and it has always said "32-bit coming soon". I have given up on it actually ever coming. Not sure why it even includes x86 in the t

I guess most people don't realize just how buggy hardware is. Any complicated chip out there will have dozens to hundreds of errata, some completely breaking important features. Firmware writers, system library authors and compiler ven

No, that's the Premium Search API price (which is for business intelligence/market research like you mentioned) Prices for the new basic API have not been announced yet

That sucks. I have some personal Twitter automation scripts that only make 20 requests per week or so. No way I could justify paying for API access for something small like that.

I don't know what meaning of "active firefighting" you're thinking of that doesn't involve fire, but you can open the PDF linked in the article and see "On January 21, 2023, a similar incident occurred. San Fr

Well I can't test it in bog, but TypeScript allows exactly this syntax and it will give you an error like "Property ptint does not exist on type ..." One would imagine that let {print} = import "std.io" is eq

が marks the subject, and the subject of わかる is the thing that's being understood, not the thing that's doing the understanding. (Maybe you meant subject in the non-grammatical way? It's confusing.) Either way, は is fine in th

From researching this in the past, it seems like there are many more learning resources about CPU design than GPU design. Not to mention that CPU design is often covered in college curricula while I'm not aware of any GPU design course

You only #define _CLIB_IMPL 1 in one translation unit when compiling.

Some options: ffmpeg, GIMP, Krita, Photoshop (if you enable it in the settings), and the reference implementation cjxl which you probably already have installed if you use Linux (because QT and GTK depend on it).

Isn't that circular reasoning? Chrome shouldn't support JPEG-XL because not enough consumers support it? Chrome is the number one consumer of images. If Chrome added support, suddenly 90% of people would be able to use the forma

Well, I am interested in saving server bandwidth by delivering smaller image files at the same quality. I can't enable a flag on my user's browsers though. :)

It is supported by every image manipulation program I use on a regular basis. Photoshop, Krita, EOG, IrfanView. That's enough for me.

Sad day for image formats. JXL really looked like the future, it could have replaced all the image formats I use on my websites. Especially the lossless JPEG recompression mode, for which there is no existing option. I think I will continue

And earlier today they committed the removal to the chromium repo. Why did they only release this data a week before the change? It would have been nice if they gave people the chance to double-check their methodology. (Testing on an old ve

I think they probably registered a WASM interpreter like wasmtime to automatically run any .wasm files. You can do that using binfmt_misc on Linux.

by hmry 4y ago
It is a binary, a WASM binary. However, your CPU can't execute WASM binaries. That's why you would either have to use an interpreter to execute them (which would be slow), or compile the WASM code into native machine code for your

Any links on srgb-oklab or p3-oklab? I have never heard of either of them, and Google doesn't seem to know either. Generally, OKLab is its own independent color space. It's not like HSV for example, which is just a transformation

Definitely. I would argue even in shell scripts it's not always great. Just thinking about all those times rm -rf "~/${configdir}" accidentally wiped someone's home directory because that unset variable was implicit

Same here, I also get frequent crashes on FF. In the past it used to crash when selecting text with the mouse, but since the latest update that seems to have been fixed. Now it tends to crash when drag&dropping things instead.
