Also they are horrifically broken if you use OS-level magnifier (ctrl+scroll etc). I don't know if this is the application devs' fault or not; I haven't investigated OS mouse warpi…

I read that whole (single) paragraph as “I made really, really, really sure I didn’t violate any NDAs by doing these things to confirm everything had a public source”

That’s the statement I found last time I went down this rabbit hole, that they don’t have physical brightness info for third-party displays so it just can’t be done any better. But…

MacOS does wash out SDR content in HDR mode specifically on non-Apple monitors. An HDR video playing in windowed mode will look fine but all the UI around it has black and white le…

* “which of the 3 big data structures in this part of the program/function/etc is this int/string key an index into?” * some arithmetic/geometry problems for example 2D layout wher…

I don’t think I can take that claim by itself as necessarily implying the cause is hardware. Consumer OSes were on the verge of getting protected memory at that time, as an example…

Thread is talking about kids knowing how to request emergency services with a nearby phone in case something happens to their parent(s). Nothing to do with giving kids their own ph…

Do you have an M1? I’m really hoping this is a USB-chipset-specific problem that got fixed. That hope is supported by…one random Reddit comment.

Can we collectively retcon an unencumbered replacement name for such things? Odoromop?

I don't think I can trust TTS for language learning. I could be internalizing wrong pronunciation, and I wouldn't know. One time I tried Duolingo for Japanese already knowing a bit…

Game exploits are extremely game-specific

In this analogy, they are only retesting things reported by a previous red team who did that target.

Yes this helps specifically when passing functions as pointers or something like std::function (edit: or overriding methods), it will at least inform the developer that they need t…

noexcept doesn’t prevent any throws at compile-time, it basically just wraps the function in a `catch(...)` block that will call std::terminate, like a failed assert. IMHO it is a …

I accidentally trained myself by playing with SimTunes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimTunes > a lot as a kid. But I think it trained me to be slightly flat. Electronically perfec…

Or maybe they just wanted to share something connected to the article

It is a headscratchingly bad idea to put op-amps in week 2 of course #1. I can’t even remember for sure if we did them in the first course, but if so, it was at the very end, after…

Probably not, but mitmproxy is not a reverse proxy for any production purpose. It’s for running on your local machine and doing testing of either low-level protocol or web security…

I’ve tried to find “the autocad font” so many times before. Thank you!

Purism also had/has this AweSIM cellular plan offering. Shortly after I signed up (a couple years ago), their backbone provider went bankrupt or dropped them or something; don’t re…

I was unpleasantly surprised by but thankful to have found eclecticlight.co’s findings about PAR2. When I learned about PAR2 I immediately wanted to make par files for everything b…

Why downvotes? Ignoring C++11 changes for a minute, c_str is absolutely able to cause a reallocation if it needs to, such that after it returns, its return value and the value of d…

PEP means "post-exposure prophylaxis"; PrEP means "pre-exposure prophylaxis". You take PrEP regularly (if you know you're at risk due to sexual habits etc whatever), but only take …

I bought a Sony TV a couple days ago. It’s just a Samsung panel identical to a current Samsung TV but placed into Sony innards. Which means no stupid terrible Samsung software! Tha…
