I currently use a mix of thin typedefs (using ClockT = uint32_t, the compiler doesn't catch mixups) and putting units in variable names. I've used this approach in Python, Rust, and C++, and in over 1 year have had zero bugs that

I'm a bit disappointed there's no x-height control I can decrease to get longer ascenders and shorter lowercase letters. It's a recurring annoyance I have with almost every font being released nowadays, I find their x-heights

I think Instart Logic does some sort of ad proxying to bypass uBlock Origin. Normal solution is to install uBlock Origin Extra, easy solution is to disable JavaScript for evil sites.

You mentioned that "the biggest hold up is getting enough properly trained data, tagged appropriately, in order to let the models train correctly." I think using SNES music as training data is a viable way of getting hundreds of s

When loading this page, it slowed Firefox to a halt. It contains hundreds of 1x1 iframes for some reason, labeled aswift_(number), along with an Amazon marquee at the top. I would call this website malware at this point.

The SNES is a 1990s game console. Its music is generally synthesized by the SPC700 chip, from individual instruments stored in 64 kilobytes of RAM (so the instruments often sound synthetic and muffled). The advantage is that it's possi

From what I've heard, Lotus Improv (1991, failed 1996) was intended as a spreadsheet where each data set was stored in a separate namespace/object/table, which had named columns/rows, or even more than 2 dimensions. Appa

By default, uMatrix blocks Google Analytics, whereas uBlock Origin stubs it. If both are installed (in my case), uMatrix often wins out. If Google Analytics is blocked, many sites will spend 2 seconds on a white screen waiting for Google An
