That was a fun read. Kudos to the writer. This is software development life.

Well, back in the day you had 4 megs of ram, MS-DOS and other OSes that are simple as they come, and full access to the hardware. These days if you want to support macOS, Windows, Linux: I say good luck to you, Electron can save you there.

Thank you for this! Could possibly just hotpatch my existing app, add this to the packed in javascript .asar resource file and not having to make a new build with updated Electron version.

Reminds me of the performance optimization somebody discovered in Super Mario World for SNES, where displaying the player score in was very inefficient, taking about 1/6 of the frametime allocated. "SMW is incredibly inefficient w

I remember dropping parallel hashmap into my C++ app after years of using the standard library containers, and being honestly positively surprised my app got significantly faster after that. So thanks for the developer of this!

You can just search for HDR videos in Youtube.

Sure, but a lot of extra work for something like that. Also, Apple Walled Garden..

Metal allows Apple to squeeze that extra performance out of their devices. They have full control over, and can implement whatever they need to deliver Apple Vision Pro for example. With Vulkan, they would have to wait for a committee to ap

I love mate. It has probably saved my life as a software developer, not tolerating the strong effect of coffee on my sleep, but yerba mate, and especially freshly stored in vacuum bags, slightly dried but not smoked is my favorite. Meta Mat

Hehe spot on. 58% faster ad delivery, in 58% more random places than you would have expected!

The hardware looks and sounds great. Too bad it's running Windows 11.

Long and dark winter probably. Nothing to do but sit inside, and study the dark arts of computers.

Good article on the basic nature of software projects, they never seem to end unless you decide them to end. When to do that ? Who the hell knows, it took me about 10 years for my own project to reach a state where I could say "This is

Had to log in just to upvote this comment, brought back nostalgia from the Slashdot days of yore.

It is a cause that cannot be discussed here, without getting downvoted to oblivion.

Bram was a a legend. So many people dying right now. Hopefully it was not the same cause that so many other people relatively young are dying from right now. Seems he was 62, not so old yet. Wondering what happened to him ? RIP, I've s

Hopefully they really put effort into the web part of the product, I mean really writing text on a phone or even a tablet is not so easy. But I'm guessing they wont do that, as Meta wants lock in and registration, and following all you

Twitter is a hard platform to get into I think, I used to think for a long time that what good is this thing for. Then it kinda clicked, at least for me it's not about tweeting stuff, but it's more about finding the people who are

Yeah, must be a damn big task trying to fix a codebase that is already over 10 years old.

Don't know about that, but before Musk the shadowbans were just a theory and I remember Jack Dorsey even denying existence of them. The committee twitter had before was in close collaboration with FBI. Currently twitter is one of the o

All this talk about demise of twitter, and why ? For me at least personally, the experience is better. No more cult of personalities with "verified" badges and wondering who gets it and who does not. No more censorship of certain

Interesting story. Wonder what caused his downfall into insanity. Was Zappos getting a sudden influx of money, giving him too much sense of power and importance ? It's also sad that he felt he had to overachieve, our current system val

I did not mean Nazis. Have you even followed the censorship in Twitter for example and the situation that is unraveling now ? We already ban certain views, but yet, pornography: no. It's not important enough, and as seen here by the do

Well, I dont do that. But what are you going to do about the majority of people doing this ? And children looking at their phones. I've heard of tales of second graders looking at porn together while on recess, that is the world we now

Yeah the hypocrisy is really silly. You can kill, murder, maim people, but oh no better censor that butt crack showing! And yet at the same time, most of the porn industry is in the US.

By this logic we should not try to even protect our kids from anything.

What about the predatory nature of the industry ? 18 year olds being hunted down to "act" in these pieces, mostly by older men who are just using these women for their own pleasure and financial benefits. Is this okay ?

I understand the censorship argument also, and to be honest expecting also people defending their right to watch porn, the addiction is real. Porn is like a thought virus, if you watch it enough you will start to think about all these thing

I'm not saying it should be the governments responsibility. And governments are already heavily censoring and trying to kill child pornography, religion and certain political views, so why would this be so different ? It should be our

Well, censoring porn is one of the things I would happy to be censoring. Although this leads down a steep road easily to censor other content also, yet for a long time I have wondered why is it so easy to find porn, and why is nobody doing
