Indeed, the post is rather obviously written by Claude. It's just missing a few "load-bearing"s and a "golden", so that I could have the full picture.

> The source code is theirs, binaries mixed with other copyrighted content is not. Distributing binaries should not matter. If the binary is just compiled from the source code, the…

Yes, quite easily. It requires some setup, but the basic idea is that you create a DLL and a simple loader program which injects it into your target process. You can then use a hoo…

Rust is a significantly higher level language than C, but it can be used it almost all environments where C is used; provided there's a supported compiler target for it. In (safe) …

We have used React Compiler in production for a large ecom / media website for about a year. Performance has been fine overall, and we haven't ran into any major bugs attributable …

I'm the author of said technical analysis! ( https://blog.paavo.me/cities-skylines-2-performance/ ) But yes, at launch Cities Skylines 2 was very heavily GPU bound, due to very uno…

More like 25. C# 1.0 already had capabilities Java developers are still dreaming of, like structs / value types, properties and operator overloading. C# 2.0 in 2005 introduced gene…

Considering the latest commits and issues in effects-initiative are about 2 years old, the keyword generics initiative seems effectively dead.

As it happens I do have the habit of writing very long blog posts - though none on OpenWA so far. The OpenWA readme file serves as a bit of an introduction, though it's already a m…

I don't think it's impossible, but it would take a lot of time and a lot of money; likely more time than good enough models have been commercially available. I have been working on…

I think pairing RX 5700 XT with Control as the "defining game" is an interesting choice, considering the facts 1. AMD cards were incapable of RT at the time and 2. Control was basi…

Absolutely nothing in the announcement or other publicly available source implies that, to my knowledge. Might as well speculate if a random passer-by on the street is secretly a m…

For Android specifically, by Q3 of last year more new lines of Rust were being added per week than new lines of C++: https://security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust-in-android-move...…

At least in simple cases the compiler will just inline the closure, as if it never existed. There shouldn't be any measurable overhead.

The source is only partially available; they released the source code of the game logic, but the engine was not included in the source release. You'd need to reverse engineer & rem…

And even that isn't enough; no browser supports WebGPU on all platforms out of the box. https://caniuse.com/webgpu Chrome supports it on Windows and macOS, Linux users need to expl…

I know you're being sarcastic, but to be pedantic WebGPU (usually) uses canvas. Canvas is the element, WebGPU is one of the ways of rendering to a canvas, in addition to WebGL and …

Photoshop has had smart objects for quite literally 20 years - have they gained some important features recently? Smart filters have also been included since CS3 in 2007.

This is definitely corporate speak for "no guaranteed support, no planned further updates beyond critical security bugs, you are on your own".

I am worried about the future of native UI technologies on Windows. Traditionally at least the developers of operating systems have eaten their own dogfood and have at least tried …

The start menu is not a React Native app, but it's actually even worse. Only the recommended section (which is basically recently used files - plus probably advertisements in some …

Interesting detail, thanks for letting me now. I had a look at the AI packages of all three visitors (Gelephor, Gellius Terentius, Trenus Duronius) and at least in the base game (w…
