Enterprise customers don't like surprises; not even positive ones. This is a good way to lose trust.

I'd assume it uses RADV, same as the Steam Deck. For most workloads that's faster than AMD's own driver. And yes, it uses Wine and DXVK. As dar as the game is concerned it's running on a DirectX-capable x86 Windows machi

Depends. If you want to live a good life you stay in the EU. If you have the will and ability to do great things professionally (not many do) then in most industries you need to move to the US to do it. There’s just not enough high-risk cap

So, they just literally determine every fourth pixel in the final image from the fourth image? That's a solution to a niche problem. I hope they didn't sell that as general-purpose...

Stored procedures suck. First of all SQL is a dubious language to write business logic in because it doesn’t have static typing and other goodies we expect nowadays. But more importantly stored procedures tend to drift out of version contro

MySQL is like Javascript: Full of bad decisions and footguns. It works perfectly fine, but I don’t see why you’d use it when Postgres exists.

They are very much not meticulous about ROI. The thing to understand about the ad industry is that it's incredibly adversarial. Companies need ads to raise brand awareness and make people aware of new products. So far, so well-aligned.

Different project scopes. Servo's browser is just intended for testing. It recently got an address bar. Verso seems to aim for more features.

I remain unconvinced that you shouldn't air-gap systems because that means you can't use internet-centric development practices. I find this argument absurd. The systems that should have their ethernet ports epoxyed also should ne

Also many shells come with greatly improved ls implementations built in, like that of nushell.

The biggest advantage of Vulkan is that there are games relying on Vulkan, which means GPU drivers have to play nice with it. My impression is that OpenCL is borderline unsupported. In fact, there is an effort to reimplement OpenCL on top o

Ok, just make the lift controller analogue. No digital processors at all. Nothing to update, so no updates needed.

The corporate training always says you are responsible for your chosen cloud vendor's problems, but in reality everyone assumes they can successfully blame the vendor.

I suspect the colon-colons were a mistake. Java uses periods for both modules and classes, and it doesn't seem to be a problem there. Lifetimes are really ugly. You usually don't need to write them explicitly, but that's not

I hate the unpronounceable sigils of languages like Haskell, but C-style abbreviations don't really bother me somehow. The abbreviations help you remember what the words are, at least, and for me this seems to be enough.

I don't think anyone believes there will be no C++ codebases in the future - that's crazy talk. What could happen in a decade or two is that there'll be no _new_ C++ codebases. Popular languages are retired to legacy status f

This is a sort of odd phenomenon, but I've noticed that the Rust software I'm developing professionally is never actually getting run before it's pushed to production. We have some unit tests and run those, and if that's

There are a lot of problems with the current arrangement. Privatization is not one of them for reasons that others have already explained. As far as I can tell, the real problems are: a) Ownership of tracks and stations are not separated fr

Isn't there some legal action that could have been taken against this? These are not changing requirements - this is sabotage.

I know basking projects based on their choice of language is controversial, but PHP really is pushing it for me. And for medical data, too. PHP isn't boring technology - Java is boring technology - PHP is downright dangerous.

It's debatable how many - if any - humans are truly proficient with C++.

You don't want to hear this, but it's because what we programmers do is the easy part of software. In the hardware business the goal is well-defined (just be faster+) and all the magic is in how to do it. In software the difficult

Having the same language on both ends (plus mobile devices, where the synergy is much larger) is a good idea! It’s just that JS sucks.

Amen, brother! gRPC is the best thing since sliced bread. Typed APIs are just so nice to work with, and OpenAPI is very unsatisfactory.

I learned REST first, then I started working somewhere with gRPC. It was a revelation. Type-safe APIs! I was sold. Now I work somewhere where we’re all-in on GraphQL. It’s just a massive pain for very little benefit. In many ways it’s worse

Extremely impressive. Does anyone know if performance is likely to decrease as more features are implemented? Because if not, this is a winner.
