I use showdead on hn, and I'd say it's kinda 50-50. A comment thread like this one is gonna draw out the worst offenders though.

cpp is barely passable, I wouldn't dream of even trying m4 :v

Mine is similar, but I use the C preprocessor for templating (you can run it independently, by running `cpp`)

Me too, considering the uncompressed table is tiny anyway, so saving ram for its own sake is not a useful goal here.

Contents of a commit is not a patch, it's the whole tree. The got ui presents it as a patch, but that's generated at runtime by the "git diff" command. It does internally use delta compression to save storage space, but

I would really, really hope not. Certainly raw rendering using the underlying graphics api would be faster. If the canvas api adds more overhead than the entire stack of tech required to render a HTML native widget, then something has gone

Super relevant use case: you are making an app for multiple platforms, say iOS and android. You have some common logic, but for the most part the apps are separate, native apps. This would let you write the common part once, without needing

Am I the only one who increasingly wishes that Firefox could be detached from Mozilla? I donate to Mozilla because I care about Firefox, but all the other crap they waste time and money on is not only useless, it is of negative value to me.

+1 for love2d, have done several ludum dares with it, and I can honestly say it's the perfect tool for the job.

Was 90% sure this was going to be an article about homelessness in Dublin city centre (the real Dublin, not some imitator in Ohio :p)

There is still some performance gains to be had by removing the IHS and placing the cold plate of your cooler straight on the die (and even crazy shit like lapping the die), but yeah, the major reason was intel's bad paste under the ih

Same. I stopped when I realised it was passively teaching me celebrity gossip, which I never wanted to know.

Would be interested to hear about the user hostile features of github/lab? I've used both quite a bit and they seemed fine to me?

Sure, I don't necessarily agree, but that's what I felt was his point in the article.

Admittedly, I'm not someone who is very knowledgeable on the subject, but that is not what I got from the article at all. My read on it was that the US needs to be more diplomatic instead of forceful, and try to reach some sensible coo

They could also just offer their house as a traditional rental, with much the same effect.

Because they are BGA chips designed to be soldered on, and most people do not have the capacity to do that at home.

The best thing about an ereader for me is, I can read it lying down on my side. I wear glasses, so if I'm reading a real book I need to have them on, and lying on my side crunches the frame up. But with my kobo, I can crank the font up

Came across this paper, which is apparently the birthplace of the alpha channel, and it reminded me that many concepts I take for granted were actually invented at some point.

£380,000 seems like... a drop in the ocean for a project like that. Surely they will need multiple millions just to have a chance at commercial success.

While I'm sure there are some people at fb genuinely trying to "fix" toxicity, overall the issue is that they're not trying to fix it. They want to do the minimum possible to protect their image / bottom line, they

LTT weren't giving them away though. First come first served, and you only got the opportunity to buy them at MSRP, instead of scalper markups. They werent given away for free.

This makes me think a nicer (and simpler) implementation could be just special comments that have a shell command in them. Then your ci script recursive greps for commands, and runs them. That way you get enforcement in ci, not for devs, an

Maybe bad advice: just apply for remote positions that are not listed as junior. The worst they can do is say no. And for sure, any remote job with a western company should pay a lot more than 500/mo. The standard advice of "have
