I used to switch coated (teflon, ceramic, other fancy gadgets) pans every 1-2 years after eventually wearing them out. This seems so wasteful! I wish somebody had given me the foll…

Besides boringBar, the following are enabled: Claude, Dropbox, MacWhisper.

I am running the trial and it seems great except for two crucial deviations from Dock behavior. Clicking on a button ("chip") does not bring the associated window to the foreground…

I am very worried by feature creep in libc++ and libstdc++ and the harm that this inflicts on the wider C++ ecosystem. Transitive inclusion of large parts of the STL, and entanglin…

> Why would you recommend that? [..] It's a bunch of work for no benefit. nanobind/pybind11 (co-)author here. The space of python bindings is extremely diverse and on the whole pro…

There is also IINA that somehow seems more snappy/better-integrated on macOS.

Caution: if you rely on pybind11 or a project using pybind11 (many projects do, like NumPy/SciPy/Tensorflow/PyTorch..), hold off on upgrading to Python 3.9.0 for now. A change in P…

What's wrong with red-black trees? :) Since you mention C++: you do realize that std::map will typically be implemented with one?

Here are links to more concrete studies concerning this effect. Action spectrum for melatonin regulation in humans: evidence for a novel circadian photoreceptor. Brainard et al. ht…

Note that this is only for OpenGL ES!

The extra-painful part about this whole situation is that it's apparently only due to Apple blocking NVIDIA from signing and publishing their drivers. (for whatever bizarre reason …

The maintainers of SCons have long argued perceived performance and scalability issues do not exist ( https://github.com/scons/scons/wiki/WhySconsIsNotSlow ). I've long been really…

Lack of NVIDIA support is a deal-breaker. The AMD ecosystem is just so far behind when it comes to frameworks like CUDA, OptiX, cuDNN, etc.. Why can't Apple open up kernel-level su…

The material database provides broad coverage of common and more specialized materials, including isotropic and anisotropic BRDFs of metals, paper, car paints, organic samples, fab…

The renderer accurately simulates a good chunk of geometric optics -- light propagation along rays, multiple scattering, specular reflection, refraction, and surface roughness due …
