Watch your power usage. With large windowed VSCode or Cursor, you will see far higher CPU and GPU usage by WindowServer and more system power consumption. It’s easier if you track …

The crypto exchange I built 11 years ago is still pretty dense. New users don't love it, but I do. We set the standard. https://www.bitmex.com/app

Arguably, especially in the 8/10/11 era, few of these features are things that meaningfully enhance the user experience. Incredibly, we're still running NTFS and dealing with hacks…

I 100% agree. Just wait until you hear about NYPD challenge coins. [1] Pg. 21 shows us a coin that celebrates an absolutely despicable story where the NYPD forcibly committed a whi…

Does lead exposure have a "horrifying" story? It has measurable effects over years and decades, but very little acute effect.

100%. Flow always had some great safety features and some complex type combinators. But the churn in the project and lack of non-FB participation made it hard to recommend.

Flowtype works like this out of the box. In my opinion, it's a much better default.

Your comment is mostly on point, but the download speeds are way off. By the time Flash was really getting big, everyone was on 56k, (rarely) ISDN, or ~1mbps broadband of one type …

This is good advice, although it made me chuckle a bit that he in fact recommends removing years entirely, but then still has (c) 2021 on the footer. I'm always in favor of removin…

You'd be surprised, on a solid connection the input latency is incredibly good

We have a unique one: back before the z1d launched, we had a critical system that was very single-threaded and its performance drove revenue in an extremely direct way. So we were,…

https://docs.yubico.com/yesdk/users-manual/application-otp/s... It's a nice option, but of course you need to back up this static pw somewhere or program a bunch of keys with it.

It shouldn't work this way. Customer funds should be segregated from whatever prop trading the rest of the business is doing. The only way this happens is if the prop trading busin…

There are multiple tells that this move, just like the removal of radar, is supply-chain and cost-driven and not actually driven by engineering. If this were a planned move, the so…

So what's the working theory here? Does the shrinkage allow new attachments to grow, essentially a "re-wiring" that causes the mother and father to focus on the child more than the…

Looks like that's just for the 5.4GHz chip. To hit 6GHz, it's probably going to be this 350W (!!!) turbo mode. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-raptor-lake-to-featu...

Oh, man. This hits home. I wrote a bunch of libraries for public consumption with Flowtype - Facebook's competitor to TS, which was dominant circa 2016 - and there was very little …

Correct. This makes benchmarks, at least on thermally limited machines like laptops, very unreliable. High-quality review sites like notebookcheck spend a lot of time dealing with …

Turbo will move the processor above the rated TDP when there is thermal headroom to do so. Turning it off means you'll max out at the rated TDP. Now, TDP used to mean the max power…

> a try block in JavaScript immediately opts that section of code out of many engine optimizations as the code can no longer be broken down into determinative pieces This isn't tru…

Compression and snapshots indeed are the largest improvements I see, as well as an order-of-magnitude higher performance. If your applications already rely on ZFS snapshots, filesy…

These engineers are actual ex-Tesla technicians, so it's a bit more than half-assing it.

These are great, I just don't understand why Apple can't put a single camera that is 1/4 this quality into any of its $1000+ laptops.

It does seem to, yes.
