Mini apps are way more than web games. For a lot of people in China, WeChat is effectively their operating system. The platform hosts _millions_ of mini apps covering a significant percentage of the use cases that a mobile developer elsewhe

As mentioned in the post, Zed's collaboration functionality is its core USP. The entire editor was literally built around it. IIUC their moonshot is to replace the GitHub PR model with something more collaborative and granular.

No, this is a thing where the text is honest to God blurry on non-4K displays. The macOS version of Zed on a low DPI display has the worst font rendering of any application I've ever seen, and I used desktop Linux twenty years ago. I

My biggest struggle with containers is that I constantly accidentally shift out of them without noticing. I never remember that the default "new tab" keyboard shortcut doesn't respect the current container.

Dubs can be good in shows where there's a lot of fast dialog; it's hard for subtitles to keep up. The loquacious protagonist of Steins;Gate benefits _significantly_ from a dub, for example. I watched the show twice when I realized

The article claims that you can slice up the video and only use language-specific hardsubs for parts that need it. I'd be interested if there are technical reasons that can't be done.

iOS Safari has adblock support; I've been using AdGuard for years. It's a little bit of a hack, but you can also get system-level ad-block in every app by using Lockdown. Lockdown works by registering itself as a VPN that works ki

It's not just images; any software the images pull down must also support ARM64 now as well. For example, the official Google Chrome binaries used by Puppeteer for headless browsing/scraping don't have a Linux ARM build.

I'm a little surprised the author is able to fit all this stuff in a 9L pack. My 30L pack is just about full with my typical carry-on loadout of a laptop, Nintendo Switch, lightweight windbreaker, pajamas, shorts, and two shirt/so

You can have multiple colors, but doing laundry is easiest if everything is either dark or light. A backpack doesn't carry enough clothing for two loads to be super practical.

There have been improvements recently, but it still has some of the worst text rendering of any editor on macOS, if you have a non-4K display plugged in. Rendering text is kind of a big deal!

I've formed a positive opinion of Parham's character by the way he's conducted himself over the years. And Solid Queue isn't a serious Sidekiq replacement for the types of high volume applications where you'd want a

As far as I can figure out, the root issue is even simpler than that. Their hinter is broken. The edges of characters aren't aligned with the pixel grid, so there's lots of fuzzy/blurry looking text.

It's frustrating because even on macOS, every other text editor looks better on a 1440p display.

Unless the device was designed around the alkaline discharge curve! Smoke alarms rely on the lower voltage to give sufficient warning when the battery is low, and mine refuses to operate at all when powered by a rechargeable battery.

I have an early digital video camera with a genius design. It came with a custom rechargeable cell in the battery compartment. But the compartment _also_ supports regular AA batteries.

My MX Master 3 has a weird issue where it can just stop charging. Apparently this is just an issue it can have. The "fix" from Reddit is to squeeze the mouse until it starts charging again. It sounds like someone trolling, but it

The Broughlike tutorial is pretty decent. It targets a very specific genre, but it does explain every step and you have a serviceable game at the end. https://nluqo.github.io/broughlike-tutorial/

I've been pretty happy with my Arc A770 LE (16 GB). The drivers were rough at launch, but they've gotten much better, and at the time it was the best performance $350 could buy.

Or an Intel Arc card. They aren't very high end, but they're competitive at MSRP and I suspect they'll demolish this in benchmarks.

NVidia themselves have said that framegen shouldn't be used if the card isn't hitting 60 FPS to start with because of the latency it introduces. If the card is cut down enough that it's struggling to hit 60 FPS in games, enab

Apple had a decent start on this. An always-on Apple TV can connect to a Zigbee hub and provide remote access to devices through HomeKit. But it seems like Zigbee isn't winning out as the dominant standard. Most of the recent HomeKit i

Database Client is fairly similar. I don't think it does the schema diagrams or AI stuff, but it can do notebooks. Has a shareware pricing model, free for up to three active connections. https://database-client.com/
