    I think WASM SIMD is only 128-bit wide.

    That seems like a lot. Can I ask where you got that figure? Is "day-to-day" denoting some kind of specific budget? I just tried to Google it and their AI responded with "The NHS an…

    Great to hear! I would guess the codec limitation might come from licensing requirements, as BMD would need to pay for h264/h265 licenses for Linux, and that can't really be sustai…

    I recently used Resolve (just the free version) for a project. It was my first time seriously using the software but I ended up spending a lot of time with it - lots of timeline ed…

    All I know is, it's the end of the long Easter weekend, the sun came out to play yesterday and today and London has been looking very fine indeed.

    I'd love to hear any advice on that! My friend went round and round and sent many documents back and forth for over a year trying to renew her British passport, to no eventual avai…

    Some British women now find themselves in a Kafkaesque situation where the UK home office refuses to renew or grant them a UK passport, because their foreign passport is under a di…

    You can actually go and read the source yourself [1]. If Bun is "just a wrapper", then surely Node.js and Deno are too? [1] https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/main/src

    Funnily enough, that video talks about the pain of implementing a VST3 host at around the 25 minute mark. "If you're planning on doing it, set aside a lot of time."
