I've ditched M$, switched to NixOS last month and I feel like I don't hate computers again. Shouldn't have procrastinated this for so long. All other operating systems feel so silly to use now (at least when they aren't

The modern .NET runtime can get devirtualize interface calls and eliminate temporary object allocations in some scenarios. It's a bit of a black box - who knows when it actually works? - but still, it's a nice boost here and the

C# 9, but with some hacks you can bump it up to C# 10 - actually works and surprisingly stable. Can't wait for them to finally migrate to CoreCLR, though.

Fans of LINQ may enjoy ZLinq[0], which is a less versatile but much more performant way to write LINQ-like queries. I certainly use a lot of (Z)Linq in my code; the performance tradeoff is just fine for one-off initialization, UI code, edit

I always wonder whether C++ syntax ever becomes readable when you sink more time into it, and if so - how much brain rewiring we would observe on a functional MRI.

I do have an inner monologue, but I do make many decisions non-verbally. I often visualize actions and their consequences, in the context of my internal state. When I’m thirsty I consider the drinks available nearby and imagine their taste.

As a game developer, I definitely distinguish high-risk and low-risk parts of the code base. There's code that can be allowed to fail, and furthermore, it will eventually fail due to the sheer amount of this code, the development tim

You can store it and move it around, but arithmetic operations are prohibitively expensive without hardware acceleration. (Note that bfloat16 has a different range than float16, so you can't interpret one as the other)

I’ll probably give DDG another go, even though their result quality would always eventually prove too annoying in practice. By the way, I have no idea what your point is.

Funny coincidence, my subscription ends today. I’m switching to self employment and won’t be able to afford the service for a while. I wish it were more affordable, because the freeing feeling of not having to rely on google is irreplaceabl

I just put 64 gigs of (fast) memory and a (very fast) 4 TB SSD in my laptop for a total of $600. In the MacBook Pro configurator the equivalent upgrades look like 36GB->64GB RAM: $400 1TB->4TB SSD: $1000

It’s an extraordinary feature that is only intended for optimization of edge cases. Making the feature verbose and somewhat ugly to use seems like an intentional choice. This way if a beginner comes across this “confusing/weird looking

This is inexcusable, and provides no benefit other than intentionally confusing the reader. I wish companies were more afraid of using blatant dark patterns in whatever they publish. I’m sure there’s a solution somewhere out there - perhaps

This is a somewhat low-effort post, but I figured I might as well share because I've personally found the default layout to be extremely annoying. I also added a snippet for hiding the severely anti-user "Enable chat history&quo

It sounds like a good idea to preemptively disable Windows Error Reporting. I usually do it (and kill all other telemetry I can find) on all Windows machines I set up. Microsoft’s going to need to try harder than this to convince me to keep
