I have another controller-related anecdote. I have a Razer Wolverine Xbox controller that has extra back paddle buttons. The controller doesn't expose the paddles directly to PC's over USB. You have to use button remapping on the

TIL that PopCap’s engine was called SexyAppFramework and it’s open source. And everything inside it is prefixed with “Sexy”. SexyString, SEXY_ALLOC_MAP, SexyTrace... It’s certainly of an era, haha.

Many people start learning blender with the donut tutorial. It’s pretty famous. It’s a general beginner tutorial, but blender can be so weird that many skills don’t transfer (like how you move the camera in the viewport). The tutorial takes

It’s a security feature, Apple does the same when you register a security key. You must register two. If you’re using real yubikeys, it’s protection against losing one. If you had two from the start, you’re not at risk of losing your only w

And also the weights for GLM 5.2 are 1.5 TB. The only Studios Apple sells today are hard-capped to 64 GB (M4 Max) or 96 GB (M3 Ultra) only. You'd need at least 24 new M4 Max Studios, or 16 new M3 Ultra Studios, or 3 used 512 GB M3 Ul

You can select a different test instead of scanning the QR code. There's a button under the QR code for a "visual test" which is just the usual "pick pictures containing a bicycle" thing.

I am not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure you can’t just slap an MIT or whatever else license on public code with an intentional trojan hidden in it and expect to not be held accountable for the damages caused by the trojan running. If the dama

The argument is "there is no significant evidence to support the claim that Apple has given up on the Vision Pro". I don't think anybody is arguing that it's selling amazingly well or is a growing market. And I agree wit

Maybe the posters might have deleted the comments themselves? I often post comments on HN, just to delete them 5 minutes later when I realize I don’t care to deal with the replies I’ll eventually get. You have to be quick because if someone

I think super cores are a new type/tier of core, not a rename of performance. The base M5 has super/efficiency cores. The Pro and Max have super/performance cores.

I wonder if the reason why the screensaver process doesn’t exit has something to do with the live wallpapers they added to macOS a few versions ago. The live wallpapers become your screensaver, playing the video. Then when you move your mou

I used to work at Microsoft and I can tell you this was absolutely not true during my time there. As an engineer, you needed to have an answer to that question or else you could not be promoted (at least in some parts of the org chart). I

They laid off SDETs circa 2014 (I was one). I don’t think Windows ever had QA people, but it did have automated testing and dedicated people to write and monitor those tests, then file bugs if something broke. But not anymore since 2014. Th

They don’t have great North American peering. If you happen to be there and are unlucky, you won’t be able to get a very reliable/fast connection to the server. I tried to use one for Borg backups a few years ago and just ran into endl
