By the way (hello, adobe). DNG compression compresses worse than 7zip, haha. Too much for an open standard, too hard to add LZ4 as an option in the times of having 24 core setups :…

"Sony’s software for processing ARW RAW files is called Imaging Edge. Like most first-party software from camera manufacturers, it’s terrible and unintuitive to use — and should be…

It is always written into a memory buffer first, which could be like 256 megabytes... it tooks time to fill it up, once it is filled, memory card speed becomes a bottleneck. So, ac…

They do way less then that. They just form a final list of locks and download that at the build time. Of course you have to also "recursively" go though all your dep tree and add s…

Most popular dependency management systems literally linking to a git sha commit (tag), see locks file that npm/rebar/other tool gives you. Just in a recursive way.

Natural language is pretty good for describing the technical requirements for the complex system, though. I.e. not the current code implementation, but why the current code impleme…

It's called US companies now could increase their prices by 30% and just don't worry much, if sales are pretty good already for them.

Apple has its own trackers and ad services. But it treats itself specially. While other apps need to ask. Maybe I don't want some apps from apple to have the same permissions, as o…

+ working notifications - adblocker is more of a minus for publishers though But mainly don't expect any good web app integration on mobile, because it would hit the store 30% tax.…

Would not fly. Developers would not go into the store. Because everyone knows, that 30% tax would be next (basically it is the current situation on the Mac, apple could pull the sw…

The moment they roll it as mandatory - people would stop updating.

Similar why gatekeeper exists on Mac. This would mean that old software would stop to work, though. Which is a bit anti-microsoft politics. Without running all the old unsigned sof…

Just make a benchmark which would measure quality of included references ;)

By hand or regl library (almost by hand). I tried THREE, but it feels it gives me more pain than benefits (and you still end up tweaking their shaders sometimes). AI is pretty good…

If it is not a store, just don't buy from them, problem solved.

older docs are forever there. what it needs is more training data with new APIs. Actually, because older docs are there, you can ask to update some old code to newer versions autom…

true, also declarative approach is amazing for wegbl, you need to draw many lines - pass start/end points in a buffer at once.

Wiring also, chips for ddr7 look like they have a lot of pads. And you need pads on the graphics chip for them too.

they pretty much know it. Also, many speedrunners just run, while research is done and "published" by people before, pretty much using all the hacking technics.

A lot of stuff is simple, like cleaning brushes around the house, replacing wooden fences with metal/stone. More harder - changing ventilation for the attics. Except it is still no…

nice, finally we can get all the remixes safely hosted in eu

EU/UK is like: - we care about your privacy and will not allow censorship. And the next day this or blocking DeepSeek (in Italy).

Show us results, please

Laws are nice, when they work, clear and applicable. It is probably would be as useful, as GDPR. Like of course, it sounds nice on the paper, but in reality it will get drown in a …
