Hey, producing indoor maps of private spaces is an area I've been working in for the past few years and I know exactly what you're dealing with. I'd be happy to talk more about this if you're interested - email is in my

Every so often, posts from Bruce Dawson's blog get posted here - one such post was about using Event Tracing for Windows to diagnose an issue with an NTFS lock being held causing 63 cores to idle while 1 does all the work. https:&#x2F

I bought a new HP Stream recently and it's been delightful to run Lubuntu on - everything worked out of the box. Even two finger scrolling in Firefox with the trackpad. I have other machines that I use for my day job, but it's suc

I work on an app that edits and renders fairly complex indoor floorplans to SVG, all using React. We deal with large hospitals and airports, so it's normal for us to have tens of thousands of components mounted at once - pagination isn

I couldn't resist trying this and making some more detailed instructions for getting better images out of iOS. Turns out that you can get fairly good results without any fancy software. https://mhenr18.github.io/improvi

It is worth noting that while it's totally possible to fly domestically in Australia without having your ID checked, you're still required to have one. I'm actually quite happy with the facial recognition cameras at the Austr

Parking minimums in residential areas are one of the few times I think they can make sense. Suppose there is enough on-street parking for other non-residential uses. You don't want these spaces being constantly used by car owners who a

Daylight saving time doesn't apply to the winter though. Winter time is standard time, and DST is in effect during the summer months to better make use of the extra light available during summer by winding clocks an hour forward. The i

As a data point, my company is using yarn workspaces where one of the projects is an Electron app, and another has a Node server with native dependencies. Our nohoist section currently looks like this in order to get things to behave: &

JS (and eventually wasm) calls the OS via requiring native modules, which is why we're concerned about keeping them around.

by mhenr18 8y ago
Wasm is designed to deal with the VM sandbox, which if you're writing a server is fantastic compared to actual native code as there's better security properties. It's not fantastic if you're working on an Electron app wh

I hope by smooth you're referring to the graphics being vector vs bitmap, because Flash performed really badly once you added any kind of complexity to a scene. (edit: simple things worked brilliantly though, and often that was enough.

Their current Animate product (they renamed Flash Pro) is pretty much what you're looking for, if I'm not mistaken.

Clearly you don't live somewhere where speed limits are rigorously enforced. Setting a limiter frees you up from having to match the limit yourself and allows you to pay more attention to the road.

It's worth pointing out Qantas is the exception to your point. More incidents on Qantas flights are due to causes outside of the crew's control than due to human error. Even then, Qantas hasn't lost an airframe or had any fat

It's more that you can't tell the difference between 30C and 30.5C. No one ever forecasts temperatures using decimal degrees here in Australia. You only need decimals for highly accurate measurements, but at that point you'

No. At least in my country, all of the ways that females can be discriminated against in the workforce that are usually brought up are illegal. (Pay gaps for the same work, promotions, sexual harassment, etc) Yet people still complain they

Not until Windows HiDPI support stops being a disaster.

by mhenr18 10y ago
The definition of Retina varies based on viewing distance. The DPI needed for Retina in VR is a heck of a lot higher than what's needed for a smartphone. IMO we need to go through at least two resolution quadruplings on the Vive to get

It's fairly common in Hong Kong's denser parts like Central. I was able to get around much of the heavily trafficed areas without needing to be at street level.

I noticed this behaviour in the smaller streets of Hong Kong as well. Makes a ton of sense to me.

It's interesting that a lot of people act like living in those big cities is a necessity rather than the luxury that you've pointed out it really is.

If people aren't running make with -j, do you think they really want their build to take advantage of all cores in the first place? My argument is not specific to telemetry, it's a general one. If you have an option to do somethin

by mhenr18 10y ago
Let's assume that 90% of people don't bother to turn off telemetry and 10% do. That also means that in your preferred scenario, 90% of people wouldn't bother to turn it on and the 10% also wouldn't turn it on either. If

Actually I can't use Win + direction anymore because on Win10 it immediately nags me to pick what other window should fill the other half when I don't want to do that. I use Windows more than OS X these days.
