I'm curious if someone knows what's going on. It feels to me like Firefox is showing the image in HDR but with the wrong gamma curve applied.

I was using a Chromium-based browser for a bit until I looked into how forks are handling the Mv3 changeover. Seems none them are willing to maintain Mv2 support. A couple of them claim it's fine because they have ad blocking built int

I've never done that because pens end up in the dirtiest places. People aren't washing their hands before using them, they gets tossed in a bag and sit in the crevices alongside all sorts of dust and dirt, they get set on dirty de

Can't walk around with it though. Not just because of the tether but because they don't care about supporting AR. I actually cancelled my order of the BSB2 because I decided that I like having a camera to temporarily see around me

It's annoying to ever have to enter a password manually, but it does make sense every 1 or 2 weeks to force it. Not even as a security thing but as a memory thing. It's incredible how something that you seem to know so well can ge

Whenever I ask these AI "Is the malloc function in the Microsoft UCRT just a wrapper around HeapAlloc?", I get answers that are always wrong. They claim things like the function adds size tracking so free doesn't need to be c

It's been a meme for longer than that. The joke to bait people 20 years ago was "Why do they call it an Xbox 360? Because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away"

You give them a hand saw because power tools are far easier to inflict serious injuries with. But if you're teaching a kid who's old enough, there's no reason to start on a hand saw if you have the power tools available.

It's probably best to act like more complex things are just syntax at the start. Leave the fact that something like range is just a normal function that returns a generator for later on. Like if range was used like this: for i in

They admit it's contrived, but this isn't very convincing func printSum(a, b string) error { x, err := strconv.Atoi(a) if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("invalid integer: %q", a)

Just for the data sharing feature alone it's worth using. It's so damn easy to onboard and maintain data sources when they have a Snowflake share. You don't have to worry each day about loading processes randomly failing and

It's not great on a smooth scrolling input device either. You need to carefully scroll to not leave it halfway through a transition. And there's no next/previous buttons available to step through properly. Best you can do is

Awww no! Keep using them proudly! Don't let AI ruin the awesomeness that is the em-dash :)

I bought a TP Link router to run in AP mode for WiFi 7. It has none of those antennae sticking out. It does have a little grid of LEDs on the front that I have set to the UwU face option though...

The JIT can optimize this. I know for sure if there's no captures in the lambda it won't allocate. It's likely also smart enough to recognize when a function parameter doesn't have its lifetime extended past the caller&#

I think they're likely being very conservative about what they issue, lest someone see the plate, be offended from misunderstanding it, and then get people riled up about how the state is supporting hate or obscenities.

The strategy I've used with these people is to let them prototype with AI and then have them hand over their work to me where I can then make it significantly more efficient. The nice thing is that their poor performing version acts as

I haven't had any problems with syncing and using passkeys with 1Password and Firefox on MacOS, iOS, or Windows. When the site wants to create or use a passkey I get a prompt from 1Password on the device that I'm using. No need to

The candidate here focused on the wrong things, causing it to be overly focused in some areas while ignoring the main task which revolved around creating an interface inspired by a specifically listed set of terminal mail applications. So,

But I want a yes/no prompt. Otherwise anything can request root access and get it without my input. Again, Windows handles this about as well as any system without granular permissions based access control can. A prompt comes up which

It's all down to the ambient light. That's why bias lighting is now a thing. Try putting a light behind your screen to massively brighten the wall behind it, the 1000 nit peaks will be far less harsh. And if you bring the device o

I find Linux even more annoying when it requires elevation. I get a password prompt rather than a yes/no dialog. I don't care about defending against an attack where I left my computer unlocked while I wasn't watching it, so

Nothing with MDM, it's just what happens with those. I have no idea why it happens but I suspect in some cases it's badly coded apps directly asking for creds rather letting the OS do it. Whatever the reason for it is though, it&#

I only just learned of that let-else syntax here. I haven't kept a close eye on all the changes to the language over the years, but this is exactly what I've wanted if-let to allow.

Stop focusing on the additives. It would be nice and convenient and comfortable if we could just lose certain preservatives or swap out certain ingredients and magically be healthy without actually changing our diets, but that's not go

Except for the crowd of extreme purists on HN where the backend is written in their divine C language by programmers blessed with an inability to ever have bugs that make it to production. Ad where the frontend is pure HTML because JavaScri

The downside to me knowing how small programs can be if I don't link the CRT is that I can't help but feel like what I've written is terribly bloated if I don't make an effort to avoid the CRT. I blame people who constan

But isn't assembly often abbreviated as ASM? I think WASM appropriately follows from that, even if capitalizing ASM in the first place was an odd thing for people to do.

But it repeats the 0.9.0 test on the new hardware. So the first big jump is a hardware change, but the second jump is the software changes.
