Oh. Weird use for a graphics unit.

Graphics is typically what comes to my mind when people talk about graphics processing units

I mean when it comes time to output the image from the GPU, I don't want to add a hundred milliseconds of network latency...

Where?

How do you differentiate between something that "happens to work due to an implementation detail" and a "proper feature that's specified to work" in a language without a specification?

I feel like this page does a good job of telling me nothing. It's a representation of a graph? Where each node can be a text string or a file or a URL or a container of other nodes? And somehow these links and files and containers have

It's such a simple problem to solve too: when there are too many menu bar icons, put them in an overflow menu. A single icon which contains a list of icons. And let me arrange which icons go into the top bar and which go into the overf

Many parents don't themselves have the technical literacy to properly teach things like what thr filesystem is.

Sure, that's possible, but so much of the value of Wordpress is in the plugins.

I don't think they disagree? They said that okay, that doesn't perfectly fit into the static site philosophy but he can hack something together. Which is correct.

It seems to be serious. This should be treated with extreme skepticism. Probably best to remove this from HN.

My use of GitHub is like yours; I depend on Actions, but I couldn't give less of a damn about Copilot. However, Microsoft has tried to get people to adopt Copilot-heavy workflows, where Copilot plays an integral part in the pull reques

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Google Maps, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Search, Google Chrome, Google Ads, etc. are all clearly completely different products which have very little to do each other, they're

We have pretty good laws and systems protecting our right to say something bad about companies. I trust that to protect me. We have less good laws and systems protecting our right to use software in ways which Oracle considers breach of lic

As long as they brand it as a part of GitHub by calling it "GitHub Copilot" and integrate it into the GitHub UI, I think it's fair game.

I mean I think it's useful. It answers the question, "what percentage of the time can I rely on every part of GitHub to work correctly?". The answer seems to be roughly 90% of the time.

Most languages I write are ahead of time compiled with pretty good startup time so it's not really a need I have that I feel GraalVM solves?

I'm not a lawyer. I don't k is what Oracle's lawyers can and can't do. Even if I'm legally in the right, Oracle's lawyers could break me if they wanted. I can't know if there is a ZFS grenade, and neither

I'm sure GraalVM is nice enough technology but I don't understand why anyone would actively choose to use a JVM from Oracle if they can avoid it.

At that point, you're making all your configuration fields strings and adding another parsing step after the json/toml/yaml parser is done with it. That's not ideal either; either you write a bunch of parsing code (not

How do you know nobody wanted it?

Contracts are already informally a thing: most functions have preconditions, and if you break those preconditions, the function doesn't make any guarantees of what it does. We already have some primitive ways to define preconditions, n

I just checked the network inspector, the only thing it does per key press is to generate an autocomplete list. It doesn't seem too hard to wait with the autocomplete generation until after whichever checks you run pass.

DDR5 is much, much more fickle than DDR4 and earlier standards. I think it's primarily due to pushing clock speeds (6000 MT/s would be insanely fast for DDR4, but kinda slow for DDR5). Memory training has always been a thing: du

Got it running with 4800MT/s and literally 30 minute boot times in an AM5 machine. The 30 minute boot time could be worked around by enabling the (off-by-default) memory context restore option in BIOS, but it really made me think somet

It is, but I'm not sure why that's relevant? xdertz's point wasn't, "Valve is private and therefore it engages in ethical consumer practices"; the point was "Valve engages in relatively ethical practices

I mostly play games on a computer in my living room. It boots into Steam Big Picture, which I use to launch a game (or sometimes buy new games) using an xbox controller.

"The line" referenced by "line goes up" is typically understood to be revenue or profit, so if you made 10bn last year but only 9bn this year, "the line" actually went down even if you have more money at the en

> The reason nobody competes with Steam is simply the sheer number of integration and platform features that make it easy to buy, play and share games with my friends. I don't agree. The reason I personally prefer Steam is that all
