I wrote a small non-shaping rust rasterizer for geometry (Live demo https://mooman219.github.io/fontdue/ ). I definitely agree that higher density screens are the solution, but bad AA and linearization can really reduc

It's a bit silly, but it is what it is; I believe they closed the ban support forums >5 years ago. It rubs me a bit wrong that a purchase I made on another platform is inevitably going to become unusable because of an acquisition.

When I was a kid mid 2008, I modded Halo 3 maps with 3rd party software on Xbox Live. This went on for a while and of course my account was permanently banned. As a result, I cannot access the Xbox Live service from my account anymore, even

It looks like those files are marked as public. Does it trigger for you on files not being shared?

I have a lot of strong opinions on the minecraft ecosystem. I remember the days of Lightstone and hMod to Craftbukkit and Spigot, and all the drama in between. I started doing server work seriously back around 2013 as an independent contrac

I don't think "someone who just scans websites with automated tools reporting vulnerabilities" is inherently a bad thing. At worst you get a free invocation of a tool you didn't know existed, at best you start a dialog a

One data point but I have had issue with EVGA support, and their cards for years (I owned two before I swore to never buy another one). They had heatsink issues at one point and it was incredibly hard to get it fixed without me paying shipp

I'm sold on the audio quality. I'm not an audio enthusiast, but it sounded incredibly clean. I would definitely pay $100 for a prebuilt version.

I agree that no_std is incredible. I really want to see more crates embrace it and encapsulate their no_std logic away from their standard logic. I very often see crates that are like 95% of the way to no_std but then choose to bundle some

I'm always excited to see what comes out of these game jams and seeing how people ship their one off game. I've noticed games with web versions typically rate higher than games with only locally executable versions (for obvious re

I want the best of de-coupling and coupling of services, where you only need one identity to manage a variety of services, but each service is isolated from one another. This comes in two forms: identity and repercussions. In terms of ident

KeeWeb + KeePass + Dropbox gave me everything I needed to emulate 1Password, and I definitely recommend that stack if you're greatly opposed to this 1Password change. That being said, the thing that got me to change was when I tried ou

I don't think it's a holy war, I think it's recruitment and timing. I'm assuming they rather remain purely C and invest in better tooling, but attracting new maintainers is hard, writing better tooling needs maintainers,

The average person blinks 28,800 times a day. 10% of your time awake is spent with your eyes closed [Source: Google I'm feeling lucky. YMMV]. Imagine saving 10% on your lighting bill. This is revolutionary. You really only need it to w

I agree. I think "illegally cloned" would be a more accurate headline while still having as much clickbait as the author intended.

It's worth noting that OpenSimplex has different characteristics to Simplex in higher dimensions. Specifically some have noticed a stark tendency to form orbs in 4D, so it's definitely worth comparing the output of all 3 (perlin,

I was caught off guard by this! It just always felt like simplex noise was just perlin v2 and I never thought twice about the legal status of it. The 2022-01-08 Anticipated expiration is definitely something to look forward to here, especia

I work on a SIMD optimized font library [0] and have stumbled into the same situation of hand writing SIMD intrinsics. Some things are just kinda hard to make sure they get optimized correctly, and there is enough difference between the pla

Orbit only works with bluetooth on your phone, not the entire Find My network. Additionally, I think it's a fallacy to say that it's fine for Apple to not consider the risks because some other products didn't consider the ris

I personally don't think anyone is fair game for stalking and this device lowering the barrier to entry should be discussed, and discussing it shouldn't get the kneejerk reaction that they're being painted in a bad light. The

This seems like a problematic situation. In a vacuum I can see how they want to mitigate the stalking risks, but as of right now, unless you have a recently updated Apple device then, then you're completely ignored by the stalking miti

Long term platform stability seems to be moving from relying on the OS to higher up in the stack with the advent of Docker. It feels like Docker is being used more and more in cases where I would have considered something like CentOS.

Apple is experiencing supply chain issues, and there is a shortage of laptop devices right now if you try to make bulk orders (>1000 units). I have no context on their phones.

Skimming the paper: It sounds like being vulnerable to this issue and having a performant CPU go hand and hand, but it's interesting to see AMD and Samsung have some resistance to this (although are still vulnerable, just less consiste

The namespace issue was frequently brought up with the crates.io team on Discord, Github, and focus groups at various points over the life of the service. The takeaway is that the lack of namespaces isn't a funding issue, they did not,

It's like watching a murder mystery unfold. It feels really daunting to dive this deep into a bug on its vague symptoms. It's probably the selection bias for what gets on the HN front page, but it feels like a large minority here

I think this is a balancing act of risks, and I wanted to bring up what I believe to be a success story when it comes to handling suspensions: Microsoft. One thing I believe Microsoft gets right is that suspensions are isolated to the servi
