Can you share more about the quality tests XXH3 fails? I don't know this space deeply, so I'm having trouble reconciling why XXH3 is popular if it fails tests.

I had a professor who said that if we really cared about traffic fatalities, we could end them overnight. Just outlaw seatbelts and airbags, then attach a large steel spike to the center of every steering wheel. Everyone would drive like

I would love to see a sync solution that didn't want to replace my datastore, or mediate all access to it. This approach means the tools have to be good at not just sync, but also querying, business logic, validation, authn, authz, tri

I used to use Test T. Testerton until coworkers critiqued that "Test T" reminded them of male genitals.

Some things won't matter, some will. I think it's changed over time as dishwashers and detergents got better. The article mentions that newer detergents do better with unrinsed dishes. And I remember a commercial about a dishwashe

Reminds me of Thumb-Key: https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key I'd be interested to try a full-featured Android keyboard like this.

Personally, I consider it a strike against a frontend framework if I can't type check my templates. They're entirely data-driven — exactly the kind of place where type checking is the least effort but still a a big help. In any no

Yes. I was more pointing out that blocking postinstall scripts is becoming a trend across multiple projects. Possibly a portent for the ecosystem as a whole. I could have communicated that more clearly.

Without commenting on the broader topic: Apple is a top-tier member of the Bluetooth SIG. If standard Bluetooth doesn't support certain features, Apple is empowered to influence that.

Any particular reason you can't handle incidents while out and about? I know it varies by situation. When I've been on call I've been able to mostly go about my life. I just had to keep my laptop close, stay in cell signal, a

My local used electronics store has 30 Kinects for $5 each. I feel like there must be something exciting I could do with that.

In case it helps someone: my Framework had rapid battery drain in suspend. Around 10% per hour. Turns out the Samsung EVO NVMe I installed had really high power draw (I guess it's meant for performance desktops?). I replaced it with a

Several of my friend groups coordinate big events through Facebook events and Messenger. It would be harder to participate if I didn't have an account. Also, in my area, Facebook Marketplace has totally displaced Craigslist for used go

Off the cuff, I'd say at least half of my repair costs are the labor. Any chance you've seen figures on how much more expensive the parts are for newer cars?

Some of these sound like upsides to me. I've owned a lot of older cars, and they're always a mystery box of "what will fail next?". So many moving parts, and they're often hard to diagnose. Based on your comment, I

Legacy software with a single dev can be on the fast track to getting shut down. If it was still a business priority, they'd be throwing more resources at it.

Dorky, alphabetical codenames are a big step up from a bunch of lakes in no obvious order.

Nit: they don't do that anymore , because cross-origin caches cause privacy problems. But they used to, and this news is still percolating through the industry.

One option is that Dokku can orchestrate k3s and Nomad. I don't know how well it works, but it sounds like it gives you the same simple ops interface with a clear incremental migration path to horizontal scaling.

I took his course at NCSU. I remember that every time I saw him he was friendly and cheerful, eager to chat with anyone. He may have been the warmest professor I had in college.
