SDF font rendering has been around 20+ years though? Valve really popularized in their 2007 SIGGRAPH paper and Chlumský developed MSDF font rendering in a 2015 thesis.

If you're paying the cost of serializing/deserializing the whole game state around every reload of the worker, why bother with the unsafe type-erased PersistWrapper (which still re…

I would think leaders sometimes not following their own codes of conduct is the strongest argument in favor of having them: yes, they are obvious to everyone but they are also evid…

In fairness, Emacs has long had cua-mode for rebinding C-c, C-v, C-x, and C-z to copy, paste, cut, and undo, so at least those changes are not too radical.

There's a bit of a trick in that solution: n is assumed to have the lower two bits clear so for an arbitrary n the array would really be: [(n & ~3), 1, (n & ~3) + 3, 0][n % 4] wher…

It's a common extension but it's not standard. Both C23 and C++23 only allow identifiers to start with a Unicode XID_START character, which excludes $. And with older standards, it…

That doesn't quite fit either. Slotin did the screwdriver trick a bunch of times before the accident. He was showing off.

SSDs using Host Memory Buffer for cache instead of dedicated DRAM are getting pretty common on PCs too.

Sure but you can't ignore a 20% obesity rate all throughout Europe just because the US is worse.

Points 3 & 4 could be combined: like .plan, each user has an o+r .status file. Its contents are a user's status message, but its modified time is used specially to indicate when th…

Maybe they compute in tate mode.

Why not just fix it? It's a trivial fix and has the added benefit that a zero-initialized DYN_ARR_OF(x) struct would be in a valid state, which is always nice. A struct with severa…

Does that not contradict the Zig principle of no hidden allocations?

There's also a comment on that alternative interpretation here: https://twitter.com/LinManuelRwanda/status/15058362781090611...

The article doesn't have the full quote from the video. After mentioning community-based transmission, he goes on to say that "You can start to think of it like seasonal flu," whic…

The graph is measuring in six month intervals, so the March 2009 release of IE 8 needs to also be considered.

Strictly taking everything people say at face value is great way to become somebody who "can't take a hint." The problem is that there are many things people want to communicate bu…
