    Personally I have two major issues with macOS: CPU usage and bugs. There are a ton of background services that periodically spin up for no obvious reason, consuming a ton of CPU fo…

    Amazon would still be in charge of enforcement, they'd just be held liable for not doing so. Which is not a pleasant place to be, because blocking automation is not an easy problem…

    It's more than that, it's the official conformance tests: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/VK-GL-CTS/blob/main/external...

    Also remember that native code can use multithreading, so if your challenge is something that could be farmed out to multiple CPU threads until one finds the solution, that's anoth…

    About the benchmark data: It looks like your pow_sha256 library is using is the "sha2" crate, which is a pure Rust implementation of SHA2. So your benchmark is around the delta of …

    I looked into doing something like this once and decided it wasn't going to be very effective, for a few different reasons. JS engines (or even WASM) aren't going to be as fast at …

    That's Numberwang. (Wordwang?)

    I've been running it for almost a year, using docker-compose. It seems rather unstable for me. Every week or so, Sentry will just stop handling incoming events, and the request que…

    It could be an ANGLE change responsible. I know Apple's been working on the Metal rendering backend. Maybe something in that is breaking for you. I'm not sure if the video represen…

    Out of curiosity, what are the WebGL bugs you ran into?

    I had a very similar pattern happen a year or so ago on one of my bank debit cards. The difference in my case was that they made one fraudulent charge on the card beforehand to len…

    "Discrete TPM" means you have a daughter board that you plug in to a physical TPM port on the motherboard (check your motherboard manual for where it is, and which kind is compatib…

    Whoah, that's news to me. I used PostgreSQL fairly recently (a year or so ago?) and ended up abandoning it after I was forced to do the export/import dance through a few version up…

    The CN is "*.transip.nl" instead of "timetagger.app" for some reason.

    The Nest endpoints are returning 500 as well.

    I don't have much to add here, except to say that this really matches my experience with Wave G. Wave G's support team also doesn't even realize that the CondoInternet network they…

    Yes, their IPv6 support has been mediocre. The big advantage to Wave G is that they have symmetrical gigabit download/upload rates. Comcast, on the other hand, provides gigabit dow…

    Comment #25000402

    They only announce a /64 prefix via RA (with no DHCPv6 or DHCPv6-PD), so address assignments are via SLAAC. For that ISP (Wave G), I use NDP proxying to allow the LAN side to utili…

    Comment #24999906

    The major problems I've run into with IPv6: - Some ISPs do not offer prefix delegation, so I have to use weird hacks like NDP proxying (I use ndppd for this). - My dhcpcd.exit-hook…

    My apartment building had a very brief (less than a few seconds) power outage at the time 1600M seconds rolled over. Weird.

    Out of curiosity, do you know of any implementations where ssize_t has that kind of range limitation?

    How many applications are left that still use Mercurial? I can only think of two big ones, the JDK and Mozilla's entire code base. Are there still others around? Seems like everyon…
