    I don't know enough about Zig to explain it, but there is more to ReleaseSafe than checks and panics. ReleaseSafe also clears memory that no longer has an owner (I might be describ…

    The vast majority of my company's enterprise plan use is through Claude Code even though we have access to the API and could be using OpenCode instead. I don't fully agree with the…

    I agree! It seems like their work on the iOS app would bring them a lot closer to web app support as well. In the iOS tracking issue, they say the main changes are moving to Kotlin…

    StreetComplete has been making steady progress on an iOS port over the past few years. https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/5421

    If anyone is looking into ergonomic keyboards, look into a layout other than Qwerty as well. I swapped to the Corne and Colemak-DH at the same time a few years ago. The Corne is be…

    My preference is Zen ( https://zen-browser.app/ ), but there's also LibreWolf ( https://librewolf.net/ ) if you want a less customized fork.

    You're right! That's pretty neat. I always thought terminal emulators were just simple text displays. It looks like Wezterm even has preferences for how cursors are displayed. http…

    If I had to guess, it's because terminals don't know what a cursor is. From the terminal's perspective, it is just told to print a solid blinking block at a certain location. Neovi…

    That's my experience too. This outage seemed like the same jank I see every day. It just took me longer to realize it's jankier than usual.

    I used StreetComplete when I had an Android phone. It looks for missing data near you, and gives you a really nice interface to input that data. They are working on an iOS build, a…

    SteamDB detects game engines based on games’ file manifests. https://steamdb.info/tech/ It’s not perfect because some engines (like Godot) have export options to bundle games into …

    It seems disingenuous to pick one of the most popular games of this year as an example when the pricing goes down with more sales. I would like to see that same breakdown for the m…

    From the article: "The shellcode used in this exploit is constructed in a similar manner to shellcode observed in previous North Korean exploits."

    I thought this was a rebranding of PrivacyTools, but it's a fork by some of the former members. https://www.privacyguides.org/en/about/privacytools/

    One of the benefits of 4.0 is also the modularity of it with GDExtension. The major parts of the engine (including the physics) can be swapped with replacements without the need to…

    Just a small correction to that (because I don't like the hate that the Cube World devs get): They never abandoned the game. It was a two person team (husband and wife), and both d…
