the article opens with the fact that macOS uses 5 times less. The irony seems lost on the author. I wouldn't find this post less ridicule-inciting than if the title was "macOS's bu…

I build a tool like this with Claude in 2hs, uses Rust with OpenCV crate, egui GUI, PDF output. Basically it steps through a folder with images, finds corners, user presses Space i…

But Rust has editions. That is a big lever language designers can use if they painted themselves into a corner.

Lety me reply to this bigoted trope with an apt Turkish proverb: The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

The one thing I'd put in context is "don't waste time on commuting". In Europe for sure and possibly many parts of Asia like Japan or bigger metropolises in China etc. most people …

It couldn't possibly be that Blender simply has much more volunteer contributions? Since hacking on a 3D DCC in your spare time may be more than three times as enticing to people t…

> mythos allowed mediocre people to get results by holding their hand through the process, Yes, just like early cars allowed mediocre horse riders to get from A to B with dignity. …

We only know how many were discovered. Since we do not know the ratio to undiscovered this "1-2" is meaningless to assess the risk of this sort of attack.

That is what pure desperation about your moat getting nullifying looks like. Cast into TOS and code. Openly so.

Same with truffle mayo or truffle-based products. [1] People who grew up on the artificial flavor prefer it over the real one. I have quite a few in my circle of friends. You go to…

255.0. Everything else makes no sense and is actually dangerous when working with colors. Trust me. :) And when you go from float to 8bit you should dither to avoid banding. If in …

And both are wrong since the values would have to be in a linear color space for for the compositing math to make sense. But in some non-linear space to be useful when mapped to 0.…

PascalCase == Heap allocated makes a lot of sense to me. Even if one may argue that scripting languages usually abstract ideas like stack and heap away. :)

Why do not call a 'record' a 'struct'? Same with 'List' vs 'Vec'. And why are List, String & co uppercase? From what I gather these are built-in types the compiler knows? 'i32', no…

Controls feel reversed for me. I would add this as a setting.

I would add that Rust also has naming guidelines and sticking to them removes or at least minimizes the occurrence of another common topic of discussions on PRs/reviews. In the art…

RGB is not a color space but a color model. sRGB or ACEScg are color spaces. CMYK or RGB etc. are color models. This matters a lot. And yeah, it seems this supports neither and it …

"Materials Two types of spaghetti (regular No. 5 and gluten-free) produced by the Barilla company (Italy) were purchased in a supermarket." Are you kidding me? You did a study and …

When I lived in Adelaide, Australia 2006 or 2007, flexible-neck LED lamps that you plugged into an USB port to have light on your keyboard (backlit keyboards were not the norm on l…

Like the author of the article, I write C/C++ since 30 years. Mostly close-to-the-metal code around computer graphics. Actually: wrote. After switching to Rust five years ago I agr…

No inverse kinematics? That is the most important feature this would make me use this over the good old wooden puppet, which is small (10cm). I.e. it travels with me with my drawin…

I read the article. Their chess section makes no sense as in "why this wouldn't work for CTF". But I don't know enough that's why I asked. I imagine one could do CTF in public, mac…

Chess and Go are not dead just because Ai got better than humans at these games. What am I missing here?

Personal take: terribly disguised pitch to get someone to buy that way too long domain name from you.

Well, Python's uv seems to suggest people can see the light and pivot to one build/dep mgmt tool. Decades into a language not having a single one projects/people agree to use, sole…
