2 different ways.

1) We're dependent on external tools for capturing and debugging shaders, most of which are detected as debuggers by anti-cheat and will kill the process before we even have a chance of reproducing the issue.

2) The other thing is driver signing, our solution use to be just production sign drivers and test with those, but Microsoft didn't like that we could sign as many drivers/dll as we wanted every single day. So they limited us to X per day and told us to use Test Signing which anti-cheat still detects and blocks. We have other methods too, but they're all slowly being detected by anti-cheats.

Well, you can give someone anesthesia, which turns most of the neurons in the brain off, and then you lose consciousness.

I also use Vite professionally on a daily basis.

FWIW Vite would indeed handle the responsibilities of sass, typescript (partly), s4d, terser, cbst, vendoring (but not eslint, stylelint, prettier, playwright, c8, exdom). It's certainly a good option!

One thing to consider is that Vite promotes a plug-in ecosystem, of which many plug-ins are maintained by individuals. I think this increases the chance for incompatibilities over time significantly.

Also, having more documentation is not necessarily good. Each tool in Vanilla Prime has its own documentation, but they are self-sufficient. Vite combines lots of things in the background, which already have documentation, then adds their own documentation, and often requires additional plug-ins that take care of integration.

Maybe Vanilla Prime could be the car you can repair yourself, whereas Vite is the modern car that is so tightly engineered that repairing without external support becomes difficult.
Also a nice little tax dodge, at least back of the day when tipping was predominantly done in cash that I'm sure was never declared on the waiters taxes.
How do you know you're being continuously exposed with "small amount"?

You don't.

You probably haven't been exposed at all, or you're one of the lucky asymptomatic people.

For example, I live in a major city, and am constantly around people post-vaccine. Yet I've had Covid 3x since them.

You can't draw the conclusion you're making from your behavior in public, as there's so many other likely possibilities.

No, tipping is a way of directly compensating people who are directly doing work for you, even in the context of an organization managing the transaction. You tip people who are personally responding to your requests -- that's why the dishwasher and other people you're not directly interacting with don't usually get tipped.

Not exactly the same background. Stayed at a company for ~5 years. Then switched. I’m at ~15y experience now. But as you mention, I’ve also witnessed a big drop in outreach landing in my inbox. My guess is that it is more to blame on the market state rather than my résumé’s.
Also curious about what other people’s experience has been in that regard lately.

(Side note: I talked to a recruiter a few month ago who was telling me they lost clients left and right. Clients were mostly telling them they don’t have any issues finding talent on their own anymore)

Ask HN: What are exciting companies you'd love to work at?
Still they shouldn't let this happen considering their antitrust scrutiny
It doesn't matter if you require the living wage or not — there will always be people who don't strictly need it in any society. Just like there will be people on the beach who won't ever need a life guard. Everybody needing a thing is not a precondition for it making sense to exist.

If we want a society without exploitation the simple fix is to lift the minimum wage beyond any value that could be considered exploitation within the given context. Not being able to live off your full time job is certainly exploitation.

If you don't need that much e.g. because you have the luck of having your parents support, don't work the full job then. Easy. Less hours worked, more time to study.

I don't want to do a demo, and I don't want to sign up for an account. I wanted to go the homepage in order to try and understand what this product actually does. The URL from the link was: https://app.supademo.com/demo/LotsOfStuffHere

So I removed demo/LotsOfStuffHere and it took me to another login/signup page. Then I removed the app. at the beginning, and I get to the homepage.

The homepage says:

> The fastest way to create interactive product demos
> Close deals faster, drive enablement and scale product onboarding with high-converting, AI-powered product demos.

this tells me very little. Is it just a screen-recorder app? The graphic is blurred out, immediately triggering the same neural pathways I experience when I hit a site with a paywall that shows a fuzzed-out page with a modal on top. So I closed the page.

When I typed this up, I re-opened the page and clicked on the modal, which seemed to try and demonstrate that this is something between a mouse/keyboard logger and an "action recorder" of sorts. I don't want either of these things on my computer.
> Kotlin has replaced Java as C#'s largest competitor

Er, I don't think this assertion is backed by data. See for example https://pypl.github.io/PYPL.html

Is Kotlin the most "active", "hot", or "up-and-coming" competitor? Possibly. But the "largest"? Its deployed footprint and popularity are nowhere close to Java's at this point in time.
"Instead of using typical supercomputer networking solutions like Infiniband, Tesla chose to adapt Ethernet to their needs with a modified transport layer."

So, they need to compare it to Infiniband, not TCP, and definitely not software TCP. And they need to explain how/if it works with standard huge capacity switches (which is at least a reason to prefer TCP over Infiniband).

There could be reasons to build this, AWS have something, but for Tesla to build their own stinks of NIH bad.

Same here, with the caveat that Google has managed to successfully bully me into paying for Premium some time ago. Not sure if any Premium users are affected.
Im not so opposed to W11.

From a privacy standpoint, W10 has seen most of the crap backported already so its a bit of a wash.

Windows 11 is a bit different and does have some wonk still. But there are things integrated that are nice. I moved to an ultrawide recently and the W11 native options for things like window sizing or taskbar management are much better and don't need 3p apps like you do on w10 with the likes of PowerToys or Taskbarx.

I still use Linux day to day and may even move there for work to be honest now that I don't do a lot of IC work in windows now.
Same for me.
I have yt premium + ublock origin, perhaps this is related to their war non premium users having adblock.
WSYIWYG web editing seems to be impossible. CMS systems seem to have mostly given up on interactive HTML editors and switched to things like markdown.

I want to like Dreamweaver but whenever I try to use it there is a 1-2 sec delay between me typing text in and it appearing on the screen.

Most HTML editors behave like they are possessed by the devil: try to select the text in an <h1> and somehow it either selects everything but the first character or it selects all the text before the <h1> and also the <h1>.
Yes, obviously I did because you responded to it below.

I find it amusing that when I cited a study that modeled exactly this scenario you poured scorn on it because it was modeled around a specific country. You didn't respond with actual figures demonstrating that this altered the results significantly, you just said "AUSTRALIA EASY MODE".

It's a combination of things, but it's similar to why online stores advertise a price, and then add charges at checkout (like shipping, or credit card charge, processing fee, etc).

You entice the customer with the lower price, and once they have committed, you can hit them with another charge or fee without as much ramification.

Restaurant customers can be price sensitive, so tipping is a way to advertise a lower price that isn't actually real. Also, it's pretty ubiquitous, so unless you heavily advertise a no-tipping policy like Kroger delivery, most people will assume tipping is required, and factor that into your now higher price.

> The issues at Fermilab are, however, also hindering the DOE, which earlier this year called for bids on the contract to operate the lab. The University of Chicago and the URA have submitted a contract bid together with other partners. Associated Universities, Inc., which runs the US-based 100 m-diameter Green Bank Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile, has also thrown its hat in the ring. The DOE says it will announce the winner of the contract by 30 September.

Just give "us" the contract and we'll address all the problems that have come to the fore since the request for bids was announced. Does it ever end?

The first GUI OS to include a scalable font manager with antialiasing as a standard feature was Acorn RISC OS 2, in 1989.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC_OS

(This was also the OS with the first icon-based taskbar, before NeXTstep and its Dock; and also the first GUI where dragging a window to move it moved the window contents, not just a dotted outline. It's the original inspiration for the Windows 95 taskbar.)

There are a couple of pics of v2 here:

Whether an upgrade is worth it depends on your workload and how much you depend on it. All I can say is that if Zen5 would have brought the same improvement over Zen4 as Zen4 did over Zen3, I would definitely have considered upgrading. But it seems it's nowhere near it. So yes, maybe AMD just made the mistake of performing too well in the past, and it probably was just a matter of time until they hit a wall. The problem really is how AMD has marketed Zen5, with numbers that simply couldn't be reproduced by reviewers, so it really leaves a bad taste.
Without hardware support, once the attacker gets to the hypervisor, you can't trust the hypervisor, or the "guarantees" that such tainted hypervisor provides to be upheld.

You need hardware support for confidential computing (for example, AMD SEV) to be able to trust that the hypervisor can't just read/write all over the VM RAM.
I use Google Photo because it’s easy. However, the rate of recording has outpaced my ability to stay organized. I appreciate the memory highlights and throwbacks, but I think we are missing out on leveraging technology in this space. The lack of openness, portability, and permanence is disheartening.

Digital photos have an incredible opportunity to attach context to memories — not just time and place, but feelings and emotions. But, so far, this has been severely lacking.
Imagine parents or grandparents being able to attach stories about a childhood event, or to annotate a travel journal. If such things are possible today, what are the chances they will be available and discoverable in twenty or fifty years?

Not many people consider the discoverability that a book of old photo prints offers over a digital library. To have a universal and timeless reach, there needs to be more openness and interoperability.
Physically, the probability that an aerosolized particle enters your body is lower with a mask than without one, as at least some airflow will go through the mask and carry particles onto the mask surface. How much lower, of course, is difficult to predict.

It’s worth noting in this context that masks have been shown to protect the wearer, not just to prevent the wearer transmitting viruses. See e.g. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7106e1.htm

It doesn't seem to be even directly related to the Zen 5 launch, as the problem affects Zen 4 equally, and it looks like Windows has been leaving performance on the table for years, while AMD were completely unaware of the fact.

This only came to light as a result of investigation by Wendell from Level1Tech, who noticed the discrepancy between AMD-provided Zen 5 performance numbers with his own, as well as the performance variability between different BIOS settings. Meanwhile, AMD has been running their internal benchmarks using Admin account, and recommended the same in the official reviewers' guide. Not sure if such ignorance makes them look better or worse in this entire mess.
Took a performance benchmark in both Firefox and Brave. Both of them are unusually slow (addons/extensions disabled, fresh profile), but Firefox especially so. Source for the huge render times seems to be desktop_polymer.js, specifically the part that's registering and setting up custom web components. Once the website loads, performance becomes a lot better.

My guess is that a Polymer update made Youtube slower for everyone, but SpiderMonkey isn't particularly great at the kind of excess operations that have been added. Firefox in particular seems to suffer from complete UI freezes whereas Chromium browsers seem to just have slow tabs when the browser is overwhelmed.

While I certainly wouldn't be surprised if this is part of an anti-adblocker mechanism, not every slowdown on Google's websites is done out of malice. Some of it is just caused by bugs.

Depends because sharing logic like that can be dangerous. Each system is going to have exceptions and unique properties, and SOME will leak into the shared space. This is a hard problem. If what you were saying were true, software would be perfect. It's not though, it sucks ass.

I mean, try writing an API for 100 different consumers with different needs. Good luck! They're gonna ask you for X ... Z and B depends on F but F can't exist with C and C is just a bad idea overall but also O is there and that changes things and...
Why are you speaking in generalities when we are discussing a specific question: this one. Your comment seems akin to saying "asking questions is suspicious, especially when I disagree with the premise."
I doubt that. I cannot understand much beyond my immediate area, and I cannot activate economies of scale.
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. My experience with Intel GPUs on Linux is features getting progressively disabled in newer kernel versions due to hardware bugs (FBC, PSR & DC6 C-state on my Goldmont laptop for example).

My favourite bit is how the intel xorg driver supported TearFree for years, then got sunset and everyone was told to migrate to the modesetting driver. Except there is no TearFree in the modesetting driver (just use a compositor!). It eventually landed in xorg master last year [1], but no one is making releases of it any more.
