This maybe sounds smart until you take a few seconds and notice the crazy amount of work these companies put into doing the exact opposite of your premise: preventing you from installing alternative operating systems and preventing you

You make it sound like both of these changes have to be entirely separately reviewed, but most of the code review processes I have seen--including mailing lists--have the ability to merge in a sequence of patches in a single go, rather than

Ok, I'll try SDXL? But, I continue to believe that it was the botched release and attempts to push people with SD 2.x that led to whatever is being talked about in this thread for why Stability gets "so little support from the com

FWIW, they lost my interest entirely when they launched SD 2.0 and the model was worse, presumably (this was what people at the time were coming up with as the core problem) as they went overboard in their attempts at preventing it from gen

I didn't say you are experiencing the same bug: I said it sounded related; like, having used the workaround from it is teaching us about what aspects of the rendering might be broken. Regardless, if you can give me a PDF file that expe

I don't understand your point... how would continually changing code avoid formatting changes? If you want to change the formatting, just commit a change to the formatting.

This is me shooting from the hip and is probably not useful: do you maybe have a font called "Helvetica" installed on your Windows system? Assuming that guess was wrong (and it almost certainly was): would you mind giving me/

Can you try disabling (setting to 0) browser.display.use_document_fonts?

by saurik 3y ago
The core use cases of WASI have nothing to do with browsers. Yes, though: Java itself--without applets--also solves mostly the same problem.

But the level of parallelism possible is downright insane with C++ because of this property... once, out of anger at my build time on something I was working on back in 2016/2017, I set up a AWS Lambda as a compilation server (fully ge

Well, everyone breaks Adobe Flash... that's the whispered exception at the end of the rule: "don't break userspace and then blame the user (unless that user is Adobe Flash... F--- Adobe Flash)" ;P.

You can at least try to prove the code works, and you can get a lot further than people seem to bother. Hell: even just using a language with types--which many people don't do--is a form of invariant that proves away a lot of potenti

Did you own prior VR headsets? If so, what is different about this one? I also have been telling people that VR is magical and that while both current hardware and the current software has issues it will get better and that this stuff is g

The article essentially says--whether this is a good idea or not--that GTK is the one hold-out, which I wasn't really expecting as a punchline; why is GTK not implementing this?

The Viture One has a built-in diopter correction wheel which can correct up to 4 diopters (which might not be good enough for you; it is just barely good enough for me).

Once you support delegating your killfile to other people it no longer functions the same as each user having their own. And FWIW, as an example, here on Hacker News, many of us have showdead turned on all the time and so while I am aware

I think people could have said the same thing about the phone network, because it wasn't obvious what they were missing: everyone already had a phone, after all, and they worked just fine; I guess we could open it up so more people cou

nmap's --traceroute uses this technique (but I don't know if it has a way to cause this long gap; this is just a demonstration that this is an oft-used technique).
