A good fuzzy finder helps a lot with this. You can type something like `ccufFoo` to match `com.company.util.factories.FooWidgetFactory`. I use fzf.vim for this. Thankfully my company has its own hosted LSP that supports Java (and every oth

Context free curly braces in deeply nested code make me crazy. Labels to match up with the open symbol would be super helpful. My company’s style guide requires them on closing braces for namespaces.

Nothing. Stay with your wife’s social circle, stay in touch with your old friends, and build community where you are with your family. Children are a fantastic icebreaker and way to meet people.

Note that this is done for “existing formally verified C codebases” which is a lot different from typical systems C code which is not formally verified.

It won’t help with dark mode, but the canvas-place-element proposal ( https://github.com/WICG/canvas-place-element ) should allow those interactions on canvas-rendered text backed by a text element placed under the canva

Generated C code can be safer than hand written C code if you can prove properties of the generator or carefully test and review the generator itself. 2 examples that come to mind are wuffs and wasm2c. Both produce C code that can be shown

Not sure Signal would have made a difference for this criminal. All the data on them I saw in the article was likely captured by someone in the channel / group message. It’s just plain poor opsec, but I kind of expect that from someo

In lots of the country, parents should be asking the parents of their kids' friends if there are unsecured weapons in the house before letting them go over to play.

The Canvas2D interop feature should make it very easy to draw text to a 2D canvas and then pull that into WebGPU as a texture.

Bummer to read that MoltenVK is too buggy to use. ISTR that neither wgpu nor Dawn use it though in favor of their own WebGPU -> Metal backends, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Vulkan is a powerful API but it’s not universally cross p

MoltenVK should make it possible to port to Mac. Curious that it uses Vulkan and not wgpu.

The 80% cost of satellites is in large part optimizing them for infrequent high cost launches. Bringing the cost of launch down means we can launch a lot more stuff and that stuff doesn't have to built to the same quality as e.g. th

Many Kanji and Chinese glyphs are distinct. There are also many variants of Chinese, among them simplified and traditional. They don't have distinct Unicode codepoints due to Han Unification which tried to cram them all into UTF-16. Y

This is all enormously complicated for no reason. If you find the missing tests, just send a PR to add the tests immediately. Why go through all the weirdness of stitching into this development branch? Just add the tests and then rebase y
