Closed source IDEs are if anything the norm: Visual Studio, Android Studio, XCode, IntelliJ, CLion, PyCharm, etc... Even in the "fancy text editor" category things like Sublime were always popular enough.

Because right now humans do have a magical ability machines don't. LLMs are a fuzzy reflection of what they've seen hundreds of times already, they don't have originality or intelligence (yet). As a much more immediate practi

I love most of what Rust does, but this is something they just got wrong. The + operator should always trap on overflow. Which Rust kinda wanted to do (hence why it does that in debug builds), but then they chickened out about the performan

Arena allocators are not some grand new concept. They're already commonly used in C++ in the places it makes sense to use them. Which is really not that many places, it's a fast but rather niche optimization. There's not a wh

C also has only explicit memory allocators...

by kllrnohj 5mo ago
Zig is a love letter to C. It does not do much of anything to address memory management. Doesn't even have any concept of ownership like C++ does (ergo, no equivalent of unique_ptr / shared_ptr). All you get over C is the addition

HDR has problems that aren't the fault of missing color management. Notably, the fact that HDR of the HLG & PQ variety (so HDR10) do not have specified behavior . The specs are wrong in that they basically just don't exist fo

No, my correction is correct. Colorimeters are physical measurement devices to adjust the display so that it reports an accurate color profile in the first place for which to color manage to . It's required for the monitor itself to b

graphic designers don't really see any of this, either. It's going to be photo junkies or people working on image processing systems (either building them or using them) that have to deal with this. But for the most part this shou

I would expect all LLMs are going to be better at Rust than Zig - a strong, thorough compiler will simply prevent more mistakes, and the benefits of a "simple" language decreases the larger the code base gets. The more abstraction

To be fair to OP, that follow-up doesn't appear to be mentioned anywhere in the discussion on #310226, either. They probably should have left a note about that change before locking the thread.

The fan blades deform & vibrate under rotation & airflow. Controlling that deformation is the point of the use of materials like Noctua's Sterrox LCP or other flglass-fiber reinforced LCP materials in other premium fans. So low
141.
by kllrnohj 6mo ago
Yeah, but those aren't noctua fans. Noctua's claim to fame is being lower noise, not moving the most air. I'm sure somebody is buying a premium low noise-focused fan and then pinning it to max, but that's definitely not

by kllrnohj 6mo ago
We don't know what Noctua's tolerance is. The clearance in this case has to account for the flexing that will inevitably happen as the fan spins around in an environment than can easily see 50C temperatures. ABS (what Lego uses) b

The specific fan in question has a rated max power draw of 1.8 W. In actual deployments it's going to be a lot less since ~nobody is running a noctua fan at 100% speed unconditionally

A mac mini uses a lot more than 6w under load. 2024 M4 base mac mini has a rated max of 65W[1] and the M4 more than doubles that number to 140w 1: https://support.apple.com/en-us/103253

What geekbench 5 fps are you talking about? Geekbench only has OpenCL and Vulkan scores for the 3090 as far as I can tell, and the M1 Ultra is less than half the OpenCL score of the 3090. And the M1 Ultra was significantly more expensive. F
