I was looking for the etymology of these two terms which I had thought to be synonyms. As an avid screenshotter myself, I never knew the subtleties that differentiate it from scree…

I assume it's this: In Python, coroutines cannot yield from within another function call: if coroutine A calls function B, B cannot yield. In Lua, it's possible to yield a coroutin…

It's possible that the tweets were actually produced together somehow. This might buy just enough search space between the two of them.

New any% world record. 22 frames from TAS.

That makes sense. I agree that it's must be a standard understanding among statisticians that one of these interpretations is implied (although maybe given what happened with the M…

I found that Elden Ring ran better on Proton on Linux than on native Windows on the same device. Loaded faster and ran more smoothly. I do not know why.

The bucket formulation is very elegant. I still feel the problem arises from English, not probability. It's clear that "we've checked one child, it's a boy" implies "at least one c…

Probability does not bite; describing partial information in English bites. It's not actually true that the probability is 1/3, nor that the probability is 1/2. (Same with 13/27 vs…

Will this work? define string_length(x) _Generic(x, \ const char * : strlen((const char*)(const void*)x), \ struct MyStringBuffer * : ((const MyStringBuffer*)(const void*)x)->lengt…

Kaze has expressed intent to produce a patch for sm64 with all the optimizations he's found after he releases his overhaul hack.

One of the big optimizations Kaze makes is to remove a huge lookup table, which greatly reduces cache/memory usage.

"Deep coroutines:" where you can yield from a function called from the coroutine. Lua supports this, but python doesn't (as far as I can tell). Is there a term for this? To the aut…

I found that article quite confusing. I think these slides are clearer: https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse421/18au/lectur... (provided you know about induction already.)…

I may have misunderstood, but I believe step 1 (eliding loads) is simply a cache scheduling problem. The optimal solution is the greedy "furthest in the future" eviction policy.

This looks really cool! How many gigs is the model that's installed this way? If it's large it would be nice to include a disclaimer.

Here's another one. Handy "syntax" that makes it possible to iterate an unsigned type from N-1 to 0. (Normally this is tricky.) for (unsigned int i = N; i --> 0;) printf("%d\n", i)…

Gimp takes strange turns now and then, does but gradually improve over time. It used to be that fuzzy-select would cause immense lag practically every time. Now my biggest complain…

"Silence" apparently does what Signal used to: https://silence.im/#download -- unencrypted SMS messages, and encrypted SMS for others who use the same app.

Signal already colours SMS and encrypted messages differently. Unecrypted (SMS) messages are grey; encrypted messages are blue.

I initially downloaded Signal assuming it had that feature. Then they removed encrypted SMS entirely: https://signal.org/blog/goodbye-encrypted-sms/ -- I almost uninstalled the app…
