It ignores my scroll wheel most of the time if I try to scroll multiple times in a row. The scroll is delayed significantly from when I scroll to when it actually scrolls. The amount scrolled is inconsistent, sometimes it scrolls a very slo

A pedestrian has priority on the road, that doesn't mean you should walk into the road with your eyes closed wearing noise cancelling headphones.

10k in 2hrs is 1.5 lines of code per second for 2 hours straight without spending any time to make comments, think about what the code is doing, etc. In pre-ai era that is just skimming and trusting the person who wrote it or the code chang

I find difficult to know how serious the issue is, if it is even an issue. LLM constantly confidently giving me this same sounding script with a "the root cause" and how it "is simple" while being completely incorrect.

Every decision has trade-offs. The best design is often the simplest, which can mean combining layers/responsibility in small or throw away projects. The step above that is to make the simplest design that is extendable. Often newbies

Even if you fixed the initialized data problem, this code is still a bug waiting to happen. It should be a single bool in the struct to handle the state for the function as there are only two states that actually make sense. succeeded = tru

Unfortunately it was and still is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_(web_browser)#Version_c... . MacOs is slightly more forgiving in that the last 2 versions can get the latest safari. However, people tend to keep a

Honestly I gave up trying to support apple products a while ago - the fact that iOS and Mac lock the browser version to the os version makes it such a royal pain in the ass to support.

High end machines which can easily pull 100W+ are just bad in general for portability - running at max will last less than 1Hr, will the sleep mode actually work reliably and not drain battery? - this is an issue in most OSes/laptops.

The memory is shared for the GPU, so you should probably compare with desktop GPU, so 1-2TB/s.

Honestly if you actually need high end specs then you should just build a PC. "16 core Zen 5 CPU, 40 core RDNA 3.5 GPU. 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM @ 256 GB/s + stunning OLED" - Easily done as a pc build. In a world where you can get

Doing that will increase input latency, not decrease it. There are many tick rates that happen at the same time in a game, but generally grabbing the latest input at the last possible moment before updating the camera position/rotation

The huge plus of the internet is that you can be disruptive on a global scale on a somewhat even footing to the giants. If you place a giant burden such that before you even do anything of value you need to conform to 100s of different laws

A new feature that fundamentally changes the way a lot of code is structured. A group of features that only combined produce a measurable output, but each one does not work without the others. A feature that will break a lot of things but n

The depth is 32 bit, not the index into the file. If you are nesting 2 Billion times in a row ( at minimum this means repeat { 2 billion times followed by a value before } another 2 billion times. You have messed up. You have 4GB of "p

Yes, it can be quite brand/technology specific, but chunk sizes of 4/8/16/etc MB usually work much better for SSDs, but the only data I've found to read/write that easily lines up with those chunk sizes are th

Ai generated slop. Constantly summarising various parts of the memory hierarchy, graphs with no x axis, bad units, no real world examples, the final conclusion doesn't match the previous 10 summaries. The big problem is that it misses

You should probably just use a quad tree to put your objects into and traverse that with a path finding algorithm.

From zooming into your clip both ASCII and Unicode are wrong: - ASCII is off center ~43/50 pixel margins - Unicode is off center ~20/25 pixel margins - Both have different margin sizes - The button sizes of both are the same. - Th

Is it possible to get rid of all the macros TO_FIXED, FROM_FIXED, mult, etc and replace them with a class with the correct constructors / operator overloads? Then your code doesn't ever need to be aware of the special fixed point

I'm curious why you think Javascript should be on the list, I see a lot of issues: Javascript generally runs on a website in a browser: The browser must be continually updated on the client side every few weeks at the very least. Your

Intel basically made the same CPU for about 6 years straight because of 10nm process issues. They had to keep pretending the next gen "Lake" CPU was substantially different from the last, so they just took last gen product, made s

An M5 ultra would be the best ai chip for a data center in the same way it would be a good idea to use an array of the best laptop speakers to power a music concert.

If everything you do stays in the rails of QT you're going to be fine. But you try to do something simple like load a 2GB file and everything starts to fall to pieces, then you're going to assume the people that wrote this are sup

Maybe the user wants to do real time exposure/color correction, so you want to minimise the number of frames from the moment of the input to seeing the output. To do it properly the user also would want to see analysis graphs on the sc

If ever you work at a place where the software does not make money or is treated as such then you should consider leaving. You will be treated like a cleaner, i.e. it doesn't matter how well you can clean the office if it has zero impa

I think the author has discovered memory bandwidth. When you have a simple function and just scale the number of cores it's easy to hit.

It is a common use case. Every time you buy a computer it is generally going to be "bleeding edge" to various degrees and it's unlikely to work properly for X months/years. It is only because people keep their machines f
