All I claimed was that, if you let postgres run against network mounted storage it works the same as if you used it with local storage. Do you see what I meant?
664.
by kuschku 3y ago
Well, I wouldn't use that as an example, as Postgres actually misinplemented write/sync in the past causing data corruption ;) Regarding having a distributed postgres, that's not an issue actually. As long as all writing work

I don't disagree with that, but does that matter for your program? Your code still has to handle the same failure modes regardless. I've had many situations where e.g. reading locally cached files on a smartphone eMMC had worse la

Why does there have to be a difference? When modeling rpc calls as async calls returning a result, you can be just as sure that it has completed (or failed) as with a local call. And considering write can use an underlying mounted network s

I'll disagree with that. In fact, I'd argue the vast majority of "local" functions are no better than RPC calls and shouldn't be treated any different. Sure, `sprintf` will run synchronously and finish in known time

Then I'll give you another one: ProRes RAW. Just the same as Braw, but even worse documentation.

How is it much more crispy? If every widget supports fractional DPI correctly, the output will be bit-for-bit identical between the two different approaches. That said, the GPU and output encoder options chosen by Gtk3 and Apple have a majo

Filing a CVE used to be a dialog between the researcher, developers, and third-party domain experts. Accepting every random LLM-generated report and granting it a 9.8 score is not useful in any way. I have to patch hundreds of CVEs in a mon

That's what GTK used to do. The result looks much worse than fractional scaling, is much less crisp, uses a lot more battery, and means games run a lot slower.

It's not elsewhere, it's bad CVEs everywhere . Curl is just a particularly good example because they document it so well.
674.
by kuschku 3y ago
Right now, the vast majority of CVEs reported are bullshit filed by wannabe security researchers for resumé padding. Look at all the useless CVSS 9.8's filed against curl. With LLMs, even more bogus reports get filed every single day.

Vintage lenses describes an entire category. Not all of them are hidden gems. In fact, the vast majority of them aren't. I'm primarily doing videography, but most of the vintage lenses I've tested are too soft to crop a 1080

If you'd like to e.g. crop a vertical frame out of a horizontally framed picture, the sharpness limitations of old lenses also become immediately obvious. Even many newer lenses immediately fail.

Modern HDR screens already cause the same subconscious perception as the sun would. You flinch, your eyes adjust, you even move a little bit back and feel a kind of warmth that isn't actually there.

The EU member states get a big tax rebate at the end of the year. They're free to use this money to give tax rebates to their citizen or use it to build new infrastructure.

That actually mirrors my experience perfectly. But nonetheless, the selection and move UI/UX for moving pixel grids and the tooling for manipulating pixels individually is the only feature that forces me to leave Krita and start GIMP e

Moving selections with handles after the fact. Precise selection positioning in general. And where gimp has an always visible panel for filters, krita has always visible panels for brushes. It'd be awesome if krita gained more such fun

Dolphin can do that! You'll need to install kio-admin and you'll get an option to "open folder as root". After you authenticate, you'll be able to e.g. move files in /etc/ See https://invent.kde

I own switch games. I do not want to play them at 15fps at a 600p resolution if I can play them at 60fps at 4K. Why should I not be able to emulate them?

You're right in every way, it just doesn't matter in this context. We're talking about using one intel-certified part with another intel-certified part using intel-certified default settings.
