It seems Google (or maybe just some of the employees?) derive pleasure from taking things that were working just fine and then breaking them so my life is harder. It's almost a yearly occurrence at this point -- some thing that, once u

I found a fix! https://github.com/t-mart/kill-sticky Just add a little bit of code to a bookmark button, it works wonderfully . Click the button and your scrollbar returns, the keyboard works again, _AND_ the page ren

There is _absolutely_ a future for you in Software Engineering, you just need to find the right fit or the right pair. For instance, my skills and strengths are in some sense the inverse of yours. :) I enjoy building things, I dare say I

It frustrates me too! No scrollbar either. I noticed once I clicked on the main content area it scrolled normally (by which I mean with the keyboard), but still... unnecessary frustration. Is there some reason this sort of user-hostile d

I saw that bug too, if you refresh it enough, it goes away.

This! I could really use more info. A phonetic transliteration for all languages (esp Mandarin and Japanese...) as well as a sort of "bouncing ball" indicating what word is being said. This is _so cool_ for an MVP. Perhaps in

Did they refuse your ask? Or are you complaining that you never even thought to ask for a raise and your job didn't read your mind or offer first? If the latter, you have comically absurd and unreasonable expectations -- you can&#x27

It's actually happened multiple times already, 1989, 2011, as well as 2021. After 2011 (during which there was rolling blackouts, boil-water advisories) an advisory board made recommendations for upgrading the infrastructure. The

Smart pointers and RAII do _so much_! I really like zero-cost abstractions, like a nested scope with a RAII object (which will get optimized out) to implement a BEFORE{} and AFTER{}. That plus structured bindings return types. :)

> C++20 support? Not that I think it matters but this is, of everything, the strongest argument to me. For shame, clang, for shame! I switched because it had better modern c++ support. Guess the winds are changing.

You sound like you know what you're talking about. > They never tried, honestly - ICC had plenty of defaults that were targeted at performance above correctness. Is it possible to get ICC level performance out of open source tools?

Exactly. I couldn't have put it better myself, thanks. They're techniques after all, models, tools .

I've written firmware, systems software, drivers and plenty else this way. Just because the language gives you rope doesn't mean you _have_ to use all of it. I enjoy how terse and straightforward even good ol' structured n

Not in my experience! Though it was a few years ago, I'll have to re-evaluate. In the past, when doing numeric/scientific programming -- lots of dataflow, it was much easier to "coax" clang to generate the right (perfo

Whoa, really? Since when?? After a lifetime of using GCC, I (like many others) moved to clang a few years ago, out of frustration with the slow development of GCC, a desire to use new C++ features, and stayed because of the superior error

Interesting! The '97 & '98 ones were intense, I remember. I think ever since then it's had higher awareness in the larger population but I have no way of knowing. It was a significant enough event to even be represented

I was wondering the same. I think it's a new standard for how Chrome extensions work? I hope it doesn't affect FF users, and uBlock Origin will continue to function same as it always has.

Always surprised at how few nodes there are relative to how loud the noise is about crypto. I don't mind deploying a service and running things myself, it seems there are only a few thousand of us in the world. Even Tor only has &quo

Hahaha :) Close, but no. Regularly I mean "roughly yearly", and I'm a signals processing dork, not much of a health nut.

> Virtually all deaths from solid cancers are preventable with routine scans to find tumors before they metastasize. Fantastic. I take it from those links this would be detectable with a full body MRI? I already wanted an excuse to sta

The imagined memory of you dancing with peter brings a huge grin to my face. Thanks for this. Fuck (and cure) cancer.

by loxias 4y ago
Thank you for this. Captures my feelings perfectly as well. You're right about those hugs, hah! I don't think I ever even noticed before, looking back on memories that are now a decade old. Never self-promoting indeed!

Is a shard a server? If so, how powerful of a machine were they using? I'm deeply unimpressed at only 1M TPS on a _40 node_ cluster.

Doubtful, considering "Chinese" technology is often American technology + state-sponsored espionage. Plus, I think the Buy American Act had the IT waver removed, no?

I think a robust transaction processing system, which can scale and handle as many transactions as you can imagine, complying with regulations while not having any single points of failure does count as a technical challenge. I don't

This looks like a neat tool, but without the ability to collapse and expand most sections, it's only useful for trivially small JSON files :/

NFS gets a bad rep. I use it everywhere with 0 problems or configuration headaches. Sure, I wouldn't use it in situations where security is a concern, but for me and all my computers? It's wonderful. And SO much faster than s

You're probably right, AND, I'm speaking about doing this ~a decade ago. I expect things have improved, but if I recall correctly, the challenge was all the integration with external systems (krb5, LDAP, print stuff). Took more
