Performance is a feature. For certain use cases, it’s a top priority. It’s OK to let users know that your library is designed with performance in mind. It’s also OK to write libraries. Some people really want to write mean comments, I guess

Croatia is immensely beautiful! My plans to see the world have been on hold, as I find myself visiting the same country again each summer.

I, for one, wouldn't ever use a service that requires login via social media or some other platform, especially FB/Google. This isn’t usually a problem, though - I don’t think I’ve ever encountered an app that would impose this. (

I had a little trouble using Bitwarden a while ago (user error) and the (free tier) customer support was very responsive and helpful as well.

Not many people are motivated to take optimization this far in the Java world. On the .NET side, the language is more suitable because you can define your own value types (coming soon in Java AFAIK), and there is a lot of people using C# fo

I thought the same. Amusingly, the poster’s other comment is written in a much different style, so it looks like our detectors are well-calibrated.

Precisely. TFA misses this point completely: "A better remedy for eye strain would be to enable night light on your operating system, which will reduce the your screen’s blue light output." I simply use both, checkmate.

Surely, on average, it's 3 spaces of indentation. Feels great to finally be able to derive objective answers to these ages-old conundrums!

Note that your repo stays usable even while GitHub is down, and your team can sync their work afterwards. Or if you prefer, you can switch to a different remote without much trouble. On a different note, I do host my own Git server, but bet

This seems like overkill, and unless it has a Shadowplay-like mode where you're persistently recording and can just dump the last few minutes to the hard drive, I don't think I'd even know (or remember) when to hit record. (S

When I looked into low-budget mailing list management, I ended up spinning up a ListMonk instance. (It's free/open source.) But you still end up needing to connect it to a mailing backend like AWS SES or similar. If you want to av

On a similar note, I recall reading somewhere on the Unity blog that adding ads to a game supposedly boosts retention. I personally refuse to believe that the average mobile player's brain really is that rotten.

I find it endlessly impressive how people can hold two perfectly opposing viewpoints and never even notice any contradiction. Good reminder to do an occasional review of ideas one considers obvious.

Layout shift feels fairly terrible when you're navigating to an element that is at the bottom of the page (via #id) or simply refreshing the page. There is literally nothing more annoying than clicking the wrong link because the layout

I fondly remember waiting for new Android releases years ago. I'd jump to the landing page, get excited for new features, plan ahead on getting a new phone. I never noticed when, but at some point this stopped. My old phone works just

I considered them a while ago, but Google has become a bit infamous for terrible/nonexistent customer service (even for paid customers), as well as random indiscriminate suspensions. Not a great combo. Don't wanna try my luck. (

This has been a source of some anxiety for me. C# is such a comfortable place to be in... but I do occasionally feel like I'm missing out by not going out of my comfort zone, towards low-level systems programming. (It is arguable wheth

Subtitles vs dubs/voiceovers are largely a cultural thing. I envy countries where movies/tv shows are pretty much exclusively subtitled, for example Sweden. Coincidentally, Swedes seem to be really fluent in English on average. It

Oh, nice! Neuecc's posts and packages are absolutely unparalleled. Worth checking out if you work with Unity and/or C#. https://github.com/neuecc/

Assuming AVX-512 actually works well (haven't had the opportunity to use it myself), it could be very useful in high-end gamedev. Data-oriented programming is popular there, which makes it much easier to optimize data transformations w
