In an ideal world a heavily modified form of ads could provide societal value. As a way to spread awareness that a problem has been solved, that there is someone who can provide actual utility. E.g. I recently talked to an acquaintance abou

Elder scrolls games are very moddable and people have made total conversions and map extensions. That didn't prevent the sales of newer TES games based on slightly improved engines and slightly better assets (fan-made assets are often

Kata containers, gvisor? Or if you want GUI application sandboxed then I've heard of people assembling VM filesystems on the fly and booting up a VM in qemu/kvm, but idk if that's available in a neat package.

> Responding to "can you..." with "I can but won't" is generally obnoxious behavior. It's a prod to get people to say what they actually want, instead of asking a vague questions with a stronger implication

The animation API is likely more efficient/smoother if it lets the browser offload the animation to separate threads without blocking the event loop or having to rerun layout. Any script-triggered CSS change is "unexpected" f

I wonder whether using `const` over `static` was intentional here. The first gets instantiated at each use site while the latter exists (approximately) once in the binary.

I don't think sched_setaffinity requires CAP_SYS_NICE unless you want to set it on a process you don't own.

userspace can be preempted at any instruction, so you have a TOCTOU problem.

In the end someone has to pay that cost anyway. Overbuild your intermittent sources (and then throttle them when there's oversupply), invest in baseload power (e.g. nuclear), keep using fossil fuels (and pay the environmental/heal

You can already pin to a set of cores instead of a single one. But anyway, my point is that currently userspace interacts directly with CPU features without intermediation from the kernel. So intel would have to think about how to coordinat

There are more metrics than just pixel density that they need to optimize for. HDR, WCG, refresh rates and latency, aging/color stability, ... 4k is good enough for most needs, so the demand is elsewhere. Plus the gaming market is limi

At least on x86 the CPUID instruction is part of the problem. Userspace can do feature-detection and then rely on that. But if it's inconsistent between cores then thread migration would cause illegal instruction faults. If the kernel

The rollback was only for the beta, it didn't land on master. So the next release (1.54) did in fact enable mutable-noalias. You can see it in the function arguments in llvmir: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/a3c366nG6

Those suppliers would be subject to the same regulations when supplying to the big players. They should have all that stuff already available once it's in force.

I think LVM or DM provide snapshot and compression capabilities which you could layer under ext4. I like ext4 for being simple and fast and having options to turn off the unnecessary stuff. It's great for gigabytes of caches, tempfiles

The frontend reacts to a click quite fast but there's still a spinner for a lot of actions. The API goes over a websocket, request-response delay seems to be about 300-400ms for me so it's not super snappy, but not jira hell eithe

Training is becoming multi-modal anyway and will need grounding in physical reality so human-generated text will most likely become a smaller fraction of the data.

It's unlikely that this is the only device in existence that has a power side-channel. And attacks get better with time. There are lots of engineers who go "nah, too many conjunctions, this will NEVER happen" when designing s

Last time I checked our democracies are still running on the premise of informed voters. If discussion of hypothesis needs to be suppressed during a 3-year-long "emergency" then we have an issue.

That's still a reactive defense. A safer approach is to encrypt the data and keep the keys in the CPU, which is what TME (intel) and SME (amd) do. The downside is some added latency, power consumption and die area.

But OBS is the server serving the stream to everyone. It's using WebRTC in a client-server fashion. There's nothing P2P about it.

*reduplicates Anyway, deduplication can be recovered after a defrag by running duperemove or similar tools. But it's a lot of added work so it's only really worth it if fragmentation is an issue in the first place.

Every man now has access to a swarm of atomic clocks in Earth orbit and the necessary relativistic corrections to know time anywhere on earth, down to a few nanoseconds.
