Similarly, I use the same bindings I mentioned above on my laptop keyboard, and there I have the right command key bound to control. Since it's right next to the spacebar I can easily hold it down with my thumb while using other keys t

I use a setup that's similar in spirit. My custom keyboard has palm keys (kind of like the https://shop.keyboard.io/ ), which I have mapped to control and shift (on a mac). I have a Sublime Text keymap file that has a b

Yah so what it does is try to find a path with bidirectional links, and then if it can't it tries to find a unidirectional path. You can tell which one it did by whether the numbers in the path have a pulsing glow animation, that parti

Just chiming in that I really like your absurdly long HN comments about Rust, and that while I have a script that gives me an RSS feed of them, others don't. You should consider a blog where you just copy-paste long HN comment threads

A few years ago I made something similar ( http://ratewith.science/ ) that only uses bi-directional links, that is pages that both link to each other, and this gives much more interesting results. When two Wikipedia pages bot

I'm pretty sure it's not that it speculates through retpoline, IIRC retpoline is coded with trickery to avoid that, but it only replaces indirect branches. It's that it speculates through normal `ret` instructions in function

This is awesome! Substrate VM not being open source was a major reason I wasn't more excited about Truffle/Graal. Without Substrate VM, startup times for Truffle-based interpreters are terrible (see http://nirvdrum.com&

Author here, that would make sense, except it doesn't appear to be doing that. I also don't see anything in the docs suggesting that it would. My test app takes 1ms to render yet, and the callback returns within 100us, but it&#x27

tfw you do a bunch of research you're proud of and write an article that reaches the HN front page, and then someone chimes in on Twitter that actually the research is flawed and only applies to multiple displays, and you have to updat

Yah I had noticed their docs never said it called you after vsync. It's not that it calls you as late as possible though, as my experiments show it just calls you at an arbitrary but consistent point in the frame like a timer.
169.
by trishume 9y ago
Maybe the reason that 120fps is perceivably better is that your draw calls don't line up with vsync, so doubling the number of frames eliminates the dropped frame effect in @jordwalke's diagram! And thanks for the Twitter recommen

I have a lot of avenues to test but unfortunately testing each one requires setting up a sample app with signposts and recording a bunch of runs in Instruments, so there's a bit of work to do if I want to figure out the right way. And

Like I said, I wrote another comment where I write about arguments I think are reasonable, including that H1Bs only going to tech and rich people would be unfair. I was writing what you quoted from my perspective, I'm a Canadian studen

That's a reasonable criticism, it would indeed create an unfortunate incentive to trade benefits for salary. It's not ideal, but I still think it would be better than the status quo since it would still be voluntary. I wouldn&#x27

Yah, but this doesn't seem like a big problem to me. Sure H1B employees will get a different salary/equity/bonus split than normal employees, but assuming total compensation is similar, what does it matter? At least when I va

I don't see how that makes sense. Presumably if you've worked in the US for 5 years you'd like to stay there. Canadians often try for an H1B while they are on a TN because with an H1B you get immigrant intent and can apply fo

FWIW I did PM @jordwalke and got a very satisfying answer: this change has dramatically increased the number of JS devs that want to use Reason when they see it. It’s not that they are just guessing, they’ve actually tested this within Face

I liked the benchmarks, numbers and graphs this article included. I already knew about cache levels and prefetching, but what I didn't know was exactly how strong the effects were, especially about prefetching.
