I haven't tried this new app, but Windows Task Manager has always had the ability to pause. Hold down Ctrl and it'll pause updates. You can also set the update frequency to Paused.

I run Claude Desktop inside a Hyper-V VM. My VM doesn't have the "Virtual Machine Platform" feature installed at all. The app accepts this and simply disables the Cowork tab. I wonder if there's some other way to block t

UTF-16 is the internal format of the ICU library (International Components for Unicode, the support library from the Unicode standards people) which is a common way to add "full fat" Unicode support to a programming language. This

30 years ago, in C89 and pre-standard C++, it was the case that `int foo()` in C is a function that accepts any parameters, and in C++ it is a function with no parameters. In C89 you have to write `int foo(void)` if you want no parameters.

This OP hasn't done any of those things. They are here discussing the project, and it's clear all of their replies are human-written. The AI use is stated up front in the readme. They posted a 12 minute YouTube video demonstrati

I'm not disagreeing, but I will point out that COM reference counting is an atomic integer operation. That's expensive. boost::local_shared_ptr exists because std::shared_ptr does sometimes cause performance problems. std::sha

I don't think AWS says so explicitly, but it's commonly known that T2/T3/T4 use live migration to balance workloads across hosts. This is necessary when oversubscribing hardware (which is the explicit purpose of these fa

"Short of..." indeed. You already know the answer, although it doesn't need to be general ; it only needs to work on a single codebase. A recent and highly relevant example is the migration of the TypeScript compiler to Go.

I think you're directionally right but the bit about the web browser confused me. Haiku ships with WebPositive. You'll remember NetPositive from the R5 days. That's one of the few things Haiku does have.

Just because a hypocrite says something doesn't mean that thing is wrong. If a drug addict tells you not to use drugs, they're still right about that. UBI is the solution, isn't it? Capitalism both requires everyone to have

Can you give an example of a language ecosystem that went with reflection-based JSON serialization/deserialization and then went on to regret it? I can't think of any, and don't agree with your conclusion. It works great, and

It's expensive. I don't agree that it's harder, in the sense of TFA's technical struggles getting it to work. If you've got the money for the certificate, passing OV and signing the binary is easy. The difficulty of

Nothing small about it. This is terabytes of data and new files are added daily with new data. That's why we had to move it into S3. It was costing too much to store in SQL Server. I only reach for SQLite when it's big . Otherwis

For this use case we need the ability to do an indexed query and extract a small number of rows from a large database. It's a traditional row-oriented database workload. I'm sure other solutions would also work, but SQLite's

They don't have to be. I have a traditional non-sandboxed app with an MSIX installer. It's less flexible than MSI but it doesn't mandate a sandbox for the installed application.
