Ugh, that reminded me again that Firefox doesn't support HDR outside of OSX. Although to be fair it is not like Windows in general supports HDR well for desktop use anyway, SDR colours are way too DIM like brightness is at 25%

I am slowly coming around to the idea of desk mics, like you I detest the idea of it hanging in my peripheral vision on the desk or monitor arms etc... Even at the higher end of closed back headphones, there is a still a decent bit of noise

Something that gives me pause (to actually write into a blog) or to put up any toy projects / exploratory code as FOSS is I am not too keen on the idea of LLM companies and similar scraping that for their dataset [1]. Its not really a

In first aid training one is told to be very careful regarding how you deploy an Epipen, since an accidental jab on an appendage (usually the thumb) is very bad news. The reasoning I've heard is since Epinephrine constricts blood suppl

That doesn't cover what the GP was talking about with > (i.e. if someone were to gain access to a running Kubernetes container) right? Since those would still be secrets available in the env. I get that if someone has access to read

I'm confused, IIUC the AGPL can be simplified as "you can offer this software over the network, but like GPL the source must be available". Whereas Elastic license is about, "you must not deliver this software over the n

The most interesting takeaway for me is: > For studios or companies purchasing more than ten Unreal Subscription seats, Epic Direct Support will be available to purchase for an additional $1,500 per seat annually. So ballpark that to a

Is there anywhere you have a written explanation of some of the features, especially in the paid version (love a good perpetual fallback license!) Its really not clear what features like: - "Performance/Load Testing" - "

Wonder about this myself, have noticed with folks like Rob Walling and presumably others. They all seem to suggest testing market fit by essentially doing this for features, and in some cases soft launching websites prior to having anything

I love the idea you folks are trying to get this upstreamed, would benefit everybody. IIUC the reason HTML5 was dropped in the first place was for the big render re-work that went on during 4.27 + 5.0. So now seems like a good time to add m

Am I misunderstanding, there is a bunch of vSphere offerings on the list there, but surely they must still sell vSphere in some form to enterprises? Isn't it still common to find as a significant part of most on-premise deployments?

It is extremely bizarre to advertise with typical Mixed Reality use cases (with display elements overlaid in your field of vision). Is this actually true or do the people here who say "it lacks a display" mean something else? That

This extension is still very cool. +1 to Cyberchef, its awesome. If you really have qualms about the URL its trivial to re-host / serve it to yourself offline. My favorite part is whole recipe feature (Cyberchef builds a URL with the c

The same problem occurs with almost any of the hundreds of "rev-share" or "lets build a game together" projects that show up, its quite difficult to find motivated professionals to work on some else's idea especiall

Doesn't rust suffer from the same, way too wide dependency web? I feel like its an unfortunate consequence of having a good package manager which encourages proliferation of too many very small dependencies.

They do generally try to keep IDEs focused on a topic, for example how Rider has the role of supporting both Unity (C#) as well as Unreal (C++) projects since the the folks who seem to work closely with Rider seem to be their game developme

It would certainly be a great thing if UE was to have a second try at this. Nothing on any of the public roadmap ( https://portal.productboard.com/epicgames/ ) or references in WIP code that suggests this. Lets hope your

Seems questionable on Github's part to have .keys public by default, why not allow people to opt in ex: keybase.io equivalent? Yes I get that its not sensitive information, but as this demo demonstrates it can fingerprint people who mi

Incidentally UE with 4.26+ (and more so 5, which is almost a complete cutover) switches from PhysX to their in-house solution of Chaos. A lot of it has to do with determinism over the network IIUC.

There is a case to be made, not just for natural language but code. AFAIK there is quite a bit of examples from security labs where malware authors aren't necessarily identified but at least fingerprinted based on naming conventions, p

Interesting, never heard of that reputation being associated with more modern turboprops like TBMs. Definitely have heard of it for older piston prop planes, especially from the early 2000s, which I always understood is partly a mix of fact
