It just looks slightly nicer. Touch typists don’t look at the keyboard anyways. And if you care enough about looks, you’ll want RGB lighting.

Most macOS applications now support rendering at 1x and 2x. And arbitrary scaling is done by the OS not by apps.

> it uses 150% scaling (as opposed to the ideal 200%) which means you have subtle display artifacts I agree with you, but I’m afraid Apple doesn’t agree with us. The recent MacBooks do not use 200% scaling out of the box anymore. It is a

First that’s not iCloud backup but iCloud Photo Library. Second, I’ve experienced data loss with exactly this feature. I stopped using it in 2021 after using it for six years from 2015.

We’ve had age verification for decades. It just depends on specifically what is being verified. Congress passed Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act back in 1998, that basically made it extremely tedious for websites to serve children u

The problem was directory hard links. Fortunately that particular issue was resolved by replacing it with APFS snapshots. But the reputation damage is done; I don’t really trust Time Machine.

Both third party developers and Apple have increasingly become terrible at respecting the user’s disk space. Recently my iPhone started crashing as it ran out of space. I found that Apple Maps was using twenty gigs. Fortunately the fix is s

Yes! The idea of zero cost abstractions became popular in the C++ world. It was never a thing for Objective-C.

Switching users while changing displays often results in an incorrect resolution. That’s such a basic thing: different users have different preferences for their displays and keyboards attached to the displays. Yet this doesn’t work reliabl

And the reason it’s a warning and not an error (like in C++) is that it’s actually possible that the object can respond to such a message but the compiler doesn’t know about it.

I do not get this argument at all. A long time ago I ported a simple sudoku solver to Objective-C by using the foundation classes, like NSMutableArray. It was terribly slow. All those messaging sending just to do what should have been a sin

It’s a solved problem in the VM world too. Memory ballooning is a technique where a driver inside the VM kernel cooperates with the hypervisor to return memory back to the host by appearing to consume the memory from the VM. And disk acces

That’s already happening I think. Newer terminals redraw at a fixed rate equal to the display refresh rate, usually 60Hz. But if there are more than 60 new characters being printed per second, some of these intermediate states are never ren

What features related to distrobox? I use both ptyxis and distrobox and I don’t notice any integration between them. I do notice an integration between ptyxis and sudo however. It simply turns the title bar red.

Since people are mentioning latency I’ll mention throughput. Basically the idea is that you accidentally cat a large file to your terminal and we are measuring how much time it takes for the terminal to finish displaying it. This test gener

Even before AI, I’ve witnessed at Google plenty of L6 and L7 software engineers atrophy. They stop writing code, start reviewing code, until they find that their code reviews catch fewer issues than a junior engineer’s reviews. They have be

So is it actually sanctions? I believe Huawei was on the entities list. Such a list comes from the fact that the government can require export licensing. Since Anthropic is in the U.S., I do not believe it’s the same thing as Huawei.

It’s interesting but I think it’s measuring the wrong thing. Abstraction is a fundamental principle in software. As a human, I’ve worked with classes and modules far larger than what fits in my head, just because I’m only fitting the functi

Oh I love Bazel. The problem is that it’s harder to adopt for teams used to just using make. For a particular project at work, I argued unsuccessfully for switching from plain make to bazel, and it ended up switching to cmake.

And just like dup2 allows you to duplicate into a brand new file descriptor, shells also allow you to specify bigger numbers so you aren’t restricted to 1 and 2. This can be useful for things like communication between different parts of th

If we are talking about R, a lot of people who converted from R continued to operate in the same manner, by loading entire datasets into memory with pandas and numpy.

Oh I thought the desktop 3D satellite view was powered by combining the regular satellite view and street view. Looks like that’s not the case.

It is a humble brag. I saw the specs and thought the author would discuss different approaches of finessing the data and a benchmark. There isn’t one. So it’s indeed a humblebrag.

What you describe seems to have been implemented in Google Earth. It seems like an intentional product choice to do it in Google Earth and not Google Maps. Most people use Google Maps to get directions and reviews of places, and very few pe

Make is timestamp based. That is a thoroughly out-of-date approach only suitable for a single computer. You want distributed hash-based caching in the modern world.

Now you are just making up implausible scenarios that don’t help. A chat app or any app with a PM feature either has a globally unique user name feature or has an internal identifier for the user so the user-chosen name doesn’t have to be u

Well then it’s a failure of UI design if you think this can cause confusion. In any UGC design it should be extremely clear which text is generated by another user and which belongs to the site itself.

That sounds like a competitor of yours manually submitting your site to Google for “impersonating” them or something. Anyone can submit URLs to Google to suggest it be blocked: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing&#x
