I quickly skimmed and did not really see any compelling reason why I should switch from vterm. Then I went into the docs and found compelling performance numbers (10MB cat test: 220ms vs 550ms; throughput: 75MB/s vs 18 MB/s). You

You are just worrying for no good reason. Doom Emacs and Spacemacs are both very good; being far removed from vanilla emacs is not a problem to be worried about.

I understand that. I am just arguing that making your build tool aware of multiple repos is enough; no need to use submodules in git and make your build tool pretend to operate on a single repo.

I don’t understand this. One of my colleagues drove me mad with exactly this behavior. He opened an internal tool to load some complicated data for visualization. The tool immediately had a popup that said “Loading” with a sole button label

Git submodules aren’t convenient either. For the silo and corporate development use case, just use multiple repositories and make your build tool aware of multiple repositories. It is slightly less painful than submodules.

140 watts is the FTP. That means you can do it for an hour, and it will be an extremely exhausting hour and you will want at least two days of rest to recover from this workout before doing it again. If you are not chasing watts, it’s much

I just rode with an untrained cyclist (new to cycling) yesterday. The person averaged 80W over five hours. It’s about right for an actual untrained cyclist.

It’s basically well known to cyclists that training with a power meter that tells you “watts” more accurately gauges effort and caloric expenditure. (Heart rate gauges subjective effort however, taking into account stress, caffeine intake,

An earlier article on the same blog had some very useful information on how easily the aggregated census data from 2010 (before differential privacy) could be used to reconstruct real data for individuals: https://desfontain.es&#

Hinting purposefully destroys letter shapes in exchange for crispness. People who like macOS style font rendering prioritize letter shapes faithful to the font designer more than crispness. Whether good letter shapes is more legible or cris

Why would you use the exact same technique? Remove all fonts and all text from the PDF and render everything as vector graphics. It’s an old trick to prevent people from extracting paid commercial fonts from your PDF. And of course, OCR doe

The author says LaTeX doesn’t produce tagged PDFs; but that’s entirely because most users of LaTeX didn’t care enough. All the pieces are there. We just need more user education.

That's not a jj feature, but a CitC feature. You can use it on hg workspaces or plain p4 workspaces.

That's a C99 feature, designated initializer. Hardly modern. Yes it was ported to C++ relatively late, but it happened in C++20.

My biggest tip to reduce complexity of data validation if you are using React is to stop using React controlled components and switch to React uncontrolled components. They are an underused part of React. You usually don’t need React to han

I hate the History API especially pushState. Even with this limit of 100 times per 10 seconds it still pollutes my browsing history too much. I need to vibe code an extension that makes pushState/replaceState noops on all webpages.

It’s somewhat rare for a transaction to read many rows and then write. Typically a transaction reads a single row, applies business logic, writes a single row. Then you have analytic workloads that do no writes and read entire tables.

My experience just differs from you so much. Two of my employers extensively use serializable isolation and the code to handle retries is automatic. It helps that there are other reasons for retrying the transaction, like load shedding. The

It doesn’t. It’s just that dereferencing a zeroed pointer reliably crashes the program (unless you specifically do funky things with mmap) but dereferencing garbage memory as a pointer could do a lot more insidious damage.

The JetKVM picture is aggravating to look at. It shows IPv4 address in large print and the IPv6 address in small print. That’s fine, but the IPv6 address is truncated with an ellipsis. How is that useful? A truncated IP address doesn’t work

Using hex is probably a mistake. We didn’t use hex for IPv4 and that worked really well.
