> On paper, it’s largely the same as prior years. Not even the same. The 9P screen has lower PPI than my 7P, the camera has worse field of view and the battery has lower capacity.

IIRC, Einstein actually spent quite a bit of effort trying to reformulate electromagnetism as a geometric curvature just like gravity, but eventually published a paper admitting failure. I recently saw some physicist talking about revisitin

I don't personally disagree with the sentiment, but the prevailing message we are constantly getting on places like HN is that you should "release early", "move fast and break things" etc. So by that standard they&#

This is how Japanese companies get their employees to work unpaid overtime. They give their line managers overtime pay, and everybody else is too ashamed to go home before their boss.

The web site appears to claim that this solves interoperability between systems. I don't understand how. What enables one system to understand content coming out of another? For example, let's say you have two medical devices shar

In the vein of the discussion here, I think it's relevant to highlight Kagi's Small web [1] initiative, which is intended to give more discoverability to sites like this. I find it to be admirable and it gives me some small hope f

Sure, you can get stuff out faster by using a web view, but it will suck. It's the usual conflict between speed of development vs control. In the 90s we had Visual Basic for that, but if you were serious about quality you would use som

> Holy sh*t, they actually have bindings for each OS and built a Rust abstraction on top of that. That's pretty wild I grew up developing Windows apps using the native Win32 API:s, and there was nothing particularly daunting about i

Well that got rid of the core dump each time I quit, and it fixed the language server issues. So together with the portals configuration it seems to be working as well as it can.

Apparently yes. I tried installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk at first, but that didn't work. xdg-desktop-portal-kde did. But now I get issues that are likely due to problems with downloading language server binaries and running them, as t

I just tried it on NixOS 24.05. It starts, but nothing happens when I click "Open a project" or Ctrl+O. It's as if it lacks the ability to show a file selection dialog.

I made a C++ logging library [1] that has many similarities to the LMAX disruptor. It appears to have found some use among the HFT community. The original intent was to enable highly detailed logging without performance degradation for &quo

I think what is ending is not the Internet, but eternal September. Because soon every person in the world is online and there will be no more new people to continually corrupt the netiquette that we've built. Eventually we as a society

If you have schema requirements, why _not_ do it with tables and columns instead? The point of the jsonb column would be precisely to store arbitrary stuff that has no schema.

I ran something called Dogz [1] which was a pretty advanced dog simulator. You could train the dog to perform tricks or punish it if it did something you didn't like. They claimed to use AI and it worked very well although I don't

Ligatures in code are a very special case as they intentionally show entirely different glyphs. Typically ligatures are used in typography to make the text feel more natural by avoiding pathological combinations of glyphs that look awkward
