TOML was created purely because INI has no format spec at all. So what you want is just TOML.
If you don't like certain things, just don't use them in your configs (i.e. tables)
Ok I don't know what finding a sticker has to do with speed.
You don't know that it takes time to load graphical assets? And you can't comprehend that I'm using it as an example of how much more stuff Telegram clients manage to do/load in the time it takes WhatsApp to load one screen?
Well, for starters, UIKit apps are faster and better on battery than web apps. Then we add a bunch of APIs that are just not available to a web app:
- Core Bluetooth
- Core NFC
- Periodic synchronization
- Background upload/download
- Background location tracking (in some cases, it's a plus, though)
- Nearby Interaction
- Anything USB
- No widgets
- No HomeKit integration
- No share extension
- No Live Activities or Dynamic Island content
The list is honestly too long.
To be clear, I do wish that Apple was less hostile towards PWAs and developers were better at making PWAs. Until recently, you couldn't even send a push notification from PWA.
It's such a rare beast that I didn't include it. Here is what one of these looks like: https://frame.work/products/power-adapter-240w at that point you might as well just take an Xbox power supply. Also, still going to have the problem that Xbox takes 12V and USB-PD just does not provide more than 5A at any voltage.
Doesn't help that many market their power adapters as such, but when you look deeper, it's something like 2x75W + 3x50W + 4x10W.
In Telegram, I can open a chat, find a sticker, send a sticker, post a circle story, and shitpost in another group chat. All while WhatsApp loads my chat history. That is on any platform and any network condition, except for fully offline.
Their desktop apps are just Qt and not WebView inside a Qt. Mobile apps are native and not React.
Keep in mind that you can buy cables that are USB-C on one end and whatever on the other end. I have multiple USB-C to 12V barrel jack cables for this reason specifically. No idea because you still need a special cable, but better than nothing.
Well, the issue is USB-PD:
- 12 V × 5 A = 60 W
- 20 V × 5 A = 100 W
- 28 V × 5 A = 140 W
Meanwhile, that Xbox roughly needs 12 V at 7.5 A (let's say 90 W, but the internal supply is 165W) . So there is just no easy way to do it with USB-PD. Technically, you can make/buy some sort of USB-PD bench power supply to do this, but I'm unaware of anything on the market right now. One that I use (DPS-150) is limited to 5A output.
You're better off buying some chunky power bank (like Anker Solix) that has your regular wall plug outlets.
When I say I want an app that implies a few things:
- this isn't a one-off use, I don't want an app to pay parking meter once and never use it again.
- it's an app and not a WebView pretending to be native
- it's native and not react-wanna-be-native
- you know how to make an app
I have to use this app to open a parcel locker and every time I launch it I have to wait for "downloading bundle". It's probably the easiest kind of app to make and yet somehow they made it worse then a website.
I had to turn on performance mode for some fights in Expedition 33.
Depends on the game. Many shooters have always targeted 60 fps (COD / BF iirc)
Define always. I don't know about COD, last COD I played on console was targeted 30 fps on PS3 and the same was true for every PS3 shooter. BF5 ran at 50fps on average. Battlefield is really an exception to the rule because they lowered graphics waaaay lower than on PC to get reach 60 fps. IIRC ps5 Pro can reach whole 120 Hz in BF6.
PC ports of Capcom games are always piss poor so no surprise there.
Biggest FPS surprise FPS for me was Destiny 2 where PvP damage to you was tied to your FPS.
Well, new GTA is 30 fps only. Some (most?) games have performance vs quality toggle. Quality mode being 30 fps, and performance mode looks too ugly.
Sure "only 30 fps" is big news, but pretty sure "quality mode target 30 fps" is still norm.
In Xbox, many games launched at 30 fps only, then gained 60 fps mode.
Until I see majority target at least 60 fps as minimal mode, my point IMO stands.
Consoles target 30fps though. Very rarely they target 60fps and even less rarely they can reach that.
Especially in competitive gaming, I often see people targeting frame rates way beyond their display’s refresh rate. I’m not sure whether this actually provides a real benefit or whether they’re chasing a placebo effect.
In video games you essentially have one giant loop that runs every frame (today it's more than that, but at its core it's still that). Producing frames faster than the display’s refresh rate can still reduce input latency because the next display refresh is more likely to use a recently generated frame. It does not necessarily mean the game receives more input events, but it can process and reflect those inputs sooner.
Not placebo, but diminishing returns become significant, and the benefit depends on frame queues, VSync, VRR, whether the game is CPU- or GPU-bound, and how its input and simulation loops are designed.
Once on a late-night session, I had Cline!Claude spontaneously point out the time to me and suggest that I get to bed and come back fresh the next day.
I had Claude say something "It's getting late, let's pick this up tomorrow" at like 11am.
As for context, in my experience Claude starts trying either to do maximum work with minimum tokens when it's approaching limit, or it starts deferring useful work while doing busy work. Both result in a mess and complete loss of traction after compaction.
I do the opposite. I force LLM to "do jj new -m <desc>" after every logical batch of edits.
No signing is easy - make signing interactive and requiring a password.
Anyway, telling agent to NOT do something is always worse than telling agent to do something.
That's why you should say something like "Use constants instead of magic strings/numbers" rather than "Do not use magic strings/numbers".
Also whatever review its doing against the list of checks - must be a fresh context.
Do human developers check for 200 items when they do code review? How long would that take? It's quite clear that AI code review could be better even with some error.
We (humans) don't do 200 point inspection, but we also don't review every code change in a spherical vacuum without prior knowledge of the project. However, we do check a lot of things.
What's hard for AI is also hard for human, if not more.
That's just plain wrong. AI straight up suffers with counting things, and I'm not just talking about counting 'r' in strawberry. Some things are easier for AI some are easier for human.
I'd assume China wants to keep as much manufacturing capabilities of Taiwan intact. If it was just about unification, then it would have happened long time ago.
It's not like every SaaS wasn't using the same style of landing page before AI.
In US, USPS (government snail mail) literally has program that allows you to send^W spam marketing mail: https://www.usps.com/business/every-door-direct-mail.htm
This. Amazon has the best checkout and delivery system in the world, and that alone is worth a few extra dollars.
IIRC amazon yeets you out of their marketplace if you sell items cheaper than on amazon.com. Which you can work around by giving our coupon on your website, but that results in email/sms spam.
Every time I do that I get frustrated:
- shipping sometimes goes to from day(s) to weeks
- suddenly their ads start going to email
- please review us emails
I'd rather bezos get his cut.
I asked Opus why it used raw http client instead of api client that is already a dependency and it said: "you're right it's overkill" and proceeded to implement api client on top of raw tcp socket.
It’s wild that we’re still unraveling the effects of COVID-19. It really feels like every video game exec convinced themselves the pandemic boom was permanent, and that we were all going to be stuck at home forever playing games.
Don't forget gifting of translucent Xbox.
2018, 2020, and 2021 MX-5 (so all of NDs?) disabled touch screen in CarPlay unless you're in Park. I'm okay with it because using touch screen in ND Miata is uncomfortable for me to use any way, and Mazda really nailed hardware buttons navigation there.
Despite having File System, ZFS is a lot more than just file system. Sooner you understand and make peace with it, easier it is to use it.
I regularly shop at Costco and its usually one of five which ever is more convenient at the time. In all of my experience with Costco there is exactly one that has shitty parking, the rest are fine. That is if you have enough wrinkles in your brain to notice that in front of the store there 10 cars waiting for spot and parking a little bit in a back is easier.
I often see people cruising around still looking for parking while I already managed: to park, walk to the storefront, get myself a hot dog, eat my hot dog, grab a cart.
Yes, It's just not every tool is aware of ZFS ARC. Which is what this post is about. Author just describes in an odd way.
I guess I will add to the list of feature I miss from android.
I haven't tried this on iPhone yet, but on android you can share Wi-Fi connection. Many times I've connected phone to hotel Wi-Fi and then chromecast to my phone.
Surprised no one's mentioned it so far, but CarPlay / Android Auto aren't just features, they're consistency.
No, they are not. When you press "Home" button on your car where does it go? In some cars it goes to CarPlay main screen, in others it goes to car's built-in system main screen. When you press back what happens? When you press Nav/Maps button where does it go? Again, some cars will launch built-in navigation while others will go in whatever last nav app you used in car play. Mazda disables touch screen when car play is enabled (which is good and I like it)
One interesting use case I saw was a couple where one used a left-to-right interface and the other a right-to-left UI.
That depends on if car was originally made for left-hand or right-hand traffic, some cars allow you to change that (in my BMW it required messing with obd port)
