Also they are horrifically broken if you use OS-level magnifier (ctrl+scroll etc). I don't know if this is the application devs' fault or not; I haven't investigated OS mouse warping APIs. Warping the mouse back to the center

I read that whole (single) paragraph as “I made really, really, really sure I didn’t violate any NDAs by doing these things to confirm everything had a public source”

That’s the statement I found last time I went down this rabbit hole, that they don’t have physical brightness info for third-party displays so it just can’t be done any better. But I don’t understand how this can lead to making the black po

MacOS does wash out SDR content in HDR mode specifically on non-Apple monitors. An HDR video playing in windowed mode will look fine but all the UI around it has black and white levels very close to grey. Edit: to be clear, macOS itself (Co

I don’t think I can take that claim by itself as necessarily implying the cause is hardware. Consumer OSes were on the verge of getting protected memory at that time, as an example of where things were, so if I imagine “take an old applic

Thread is talking about kids knowing how to request emergency services with a nearby phone in case something happens to their parent(s). Nothing to do with giving kids their own phones.

Do you have an M1? I’m really hoping this is a USB-chipset-specific problem that got fixed. That hope is supported by…one random Reddit comment.

Can we collectively retcon an unencumbered replacement name for such things? Odoromop?

I don't think I can trust TTS for language learning. I could be internalizing wrong pronunciation, and I wouldn't know. One time I tried Duolingo for Japanese already knowing a bit. To their credit I assumed it was recorded clips,

In this analogy, they are only retesting things reported by a previous red team who did that target.

Yes this helps specifically when passing functions as pointers or something like std::function (edit: or overriding methods), it will at least inform the developer that they need to add noexcept to the function declaration if they want to u

noexcept doesn’t prevent any throws at compile-time, it basically just wraps the function in a `catch(...)` block that will call std::terminate, like a failed assert. IMHO it is a stupid feature for this very confusion.

I accidentally trained myself by playing with SimTunes < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimTunes > a lot as a kid. But I think it trained me to be slightly flat. Electronically perfect notes sound wrong, and I tune

It is a headscratchingly bad idea to put op-amps in week 2 of course #1. I can’t even remember for sure if we did them in the first course, but if so, it was at the very end, after you already know how to do algebraic working-out of value

Probably not, but mitmproxy is not a reverse proxy for any production purpose. It’s for running on your local machine and doing testing of either low-level protocol or web security stuff.

I was unpleasantly surprised by but thankful to have found eclecticlight.co’s findings about PAR2. When I learned about PAR2 I immediately wanted to make par files for everything because bit rot scares me. But, from https://eclec

Why downvotes? Ignoring C++11 changes for a minute, c_str is absolutely able to cause a reallocation if it needs to, such that after it returns, its return value and the value of data() are the same. Ergo no, the GP statement alone doesn’t

PEP means "post-exposure prophylaxis"; PrEP means "pre-exposure prophylaxis". You take PrEP regularly (if you know you're at risk due to sexual habits etc whatever), but only take PEP in response to a specific possi

I bought a Sony TV a couple days ago. It’s just a Samsung panel identical to a current Samsung TV but placed into Sony innards. Which means no stupid terrible Samsung software! That’s really why I chose it. So seeing this comment tree point

Devil’s advocate on the last point about the libssh vuln: it would be in a sandbox, but if you do take that with the commentary that most apps have large areas of sandboxing disabled, then the sandbox isn’t effective in stopping exploitatio

You seem knowledgeable, and I’m possibly going back into a GPGPU project after many years out of the game, so: overall do you see a good future for filling these compute-related gaps in the WebGPU API? Really I’m wondering whether wgpu is a

They don't care. Source: got swapped on TMo, front-line CSR fixed it but no one else at the business cared; would not even refund my final bill. Solution: move to Google Fi. It has a word-of-mouth reputation for being resistant to this

I like the idea of testing build-system behaviors like this, and I don’t think it’s ever really done in practice. Scriptable build systems, for lack of a better name for them, exist at a bad intersection of Turing complete, hard to test dif
