I love this type of highly-opinionated design thoughts. At work we have a pretty complex UI that seems a little bit inescapable to me (hard to keep legible due to complexity, etc.) Could I get you to critique it? https://sourcegr

I don't think there's any issue monetizing a chronological timeline. The issue for them I imagine is retention: with chronological, it's likely that when you visit Twitter the first few messages you see are not interesting an

That GPU-based subdivision surfaces being ~10X faster is a welcome improvement! Subdivision surfaces have always been so slow, those are some incredible gains!

I don't understand this? Blender has world-class training material provided for free. Between the stuff they themselves offer[0] and the literally thousands of training videos on YouTube.. what do you think is missing? [0] https:&#x2F

I've only heard great things about Bevy, and their community is awesome. Highly recommend looking into it if you like Rust! They also just had a huge gamejam with something like ~70 submissions. Impressive stuff! I'm super excited

How do you define "compatible"? Semver doesn't define it. An HTTP server can remain API compatible, and still drop or break support for a major feature you care about. Surely you don't want that to ship in a patch releas

Can't say historical, but 1,000 μsv/year is the annual limit / point at which increase cancer risk exists. Fukushima disaster levels were 400,000 μSv/h at peak. Short term dose of 10,000 μSv causes radiation sickness bu

Crazy how often this catches undefined behavior. Compiling GLFW with Zig we've found like ~4 separate UB issues, one I described here[0] Wish it could default to on with clang, but probably it'd break too many things. Really wonde

Note however Zig actually provides libSystem.tbd stubs out of the box, so you can cross-compile from any OS to macOS too as long as you only depend on libSystem (the macOS libc.) If you need the rest of the Apple SDK, then you'd need a

When there are hundreds of branches, not just feature branches but real long-lived development branches, and pull requests are managed the way they are in the Linux kernel (chain of trust all the way up to Linus).. "Do the mass replace

I'm confused, you believe that web developers have a trend of dismissing newer technologies and resistance to change? Have I missed something or..?

Would this be the case if you just used the `free(3)` syscall, and didn't otherwise touch the memory? I can imagine destructors in most languages involving touching the memory, just curious if a free syscall alone does it or not.

Oh my god, this, this, this! I've basically trained myself not to click links anywhere, because I know the macOS window manager will f* up my virtual desktop order and I'll have to fix it.

Spotify uses Cloudflare, right? I think Cloudflare should just block the pages. Or maybe we petition those hosting Spotify servers & ISPs to ban the pages. Actually, should spotify be resolvable by any DNS server hosted by a company? Hu

no apology needed, I am sorry the world has a culture of mistakes being a bad thing.

Weird, my 2014 account doesn't while all my newer ones do. Can't turn it off in newer accounts either (at least not without paying for Twitter Blue?) and definitely never had it on my older account

What a bizarre claim. Prometheus scrapes the same text format as OpenMetrics 1.0 and over 700 public exporters use this format, and there are TONS of other non-Prometheus software that consume the exact same text format. Prometheus's b

..I think they intend to "fix it" by making people's interactions on Twitter more narrow. They don't truly like the fact that Twitter is a bunch of popular people shouting into the void, they want to bring Twitter '

Yep they're full-time marketing people, not random devs taking time out of their day to respond. Very rarely do devs at these companies feel comfortable enough to respond directly, I think, that's natural because most people aren&

Or Element/Matrix. It's nearly comparable to Discord these days, plus it's open source.

For the author: there's a small typo "Discrimniator" instead of "Discriminator" in the video at 1:11 One thing I was confused by: the video says the discriminator "AI" is trained to detect true vs. generat

I wonder how long this will be true. Right now I think the US has 10cm/pixel resolution, but I imagine it's not long before that is far better? It might already be, we just wouldn't know about it

Serious question: what are the companies where this is not true? My experience personally and from what I have heard from others, this is basically true at every tech workplace today

Bah! Can't believe I fumbled that, thanks. Looks like the most accurate count, if you include both, is then: * 28k for Discord[0] * 1.4k for Matrix[1] [0] https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+%28https:/&
