We're going to keep maxxmaxxing forever.

I was an avid fan of 64k demoscene intros, so this fills me with joy. In fact, 96k is plenty of space for fun, even 20 years ago: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=12036

Charlatan Wonder is one of the channels I watch on YouTube. For the past few years he's been signing off every one of his videos with a rant against "content" that largely mirrors this blog post. He tells people to not describe what they do as content. It is art. Content was a word made up to feed your art into a slop machine that makes someone else's line go up.

For me, its "learnings" and "performant". We've had "lessons" and "fast"; what do those words not capture?

While the US and EU patents around MPEG-4 Part 2 expired in recent years, until today there remained one patent still active in Brazil.

Since MPEG-this Part that is hard to keep straight, this is the MPEG standard backing Xvid and DivX codecs. So let's encode video and torrent like it's 2002!

Given what this is, your readme could use a screenshot.

Merchants almost never pass along interchange fees to the customer. Instead, it's built into the prices that every customer pays the merchant, regardless if the customer uses a credit card, which means everyone pays for credit card rewards.

No. One charger. One cable. One standard.

USB-C being "one standard" is a bit of a stretch. It is the Unintuitive Serial Bus, after all. Most will charge. Some faster than others. Some will supply data with 2.0 speeds, others 3.0, yet others will do more. Some will only work with the other devices they came with. Few cables will tell you which is which, unless you have a tester.

Looking both ways before crossing the street slows you down too, but it's done for good reasons. Ignore reading code at your own peril.

Is it really a 2026 car if it was made in 2026? (New cars in 2026 are manufactured and sold as 2027)

Clicked a search result that went there probably last week. I might have an account there, but I've never asked nor answered a questioned, nor voted.

Probably something no one's ever heard of ending in "Capital Partners".

What if someone has evaluated the pros and cons, maybe even tried using AI, and decided it's not worth it?

1% failure rate of a hundred might be acceptable. 1% failure rate of a million is not.

Isn't that a named law?

I understand the appeal.

At my day job (ewaste recycling), all of us in the refurb department maintain our own lists. I keep track of individual items by scanning whatever serial number it already has. Some things lack scannable serial number barcodes (not present, smudged, etc), or don't have serial numbers to begin with. I print out labels with a UUID qr code so I can scan them into my list, and off when they're bought.

Microsoft: Moves AI exec to Xbox exec.

Xbox exec: Deletes AI from games.

Color me surprised.

Anyone who's been paying attention to Halo for the past 15 years knew there was bad management the entire time. (Halo used to be the game that everyone wanted to have and to be; now it's an also-ran due to self-sabotage.) The first step is admitting you have a problem, so good job there, keep following through.

I've never been AI guy, and have more fascination with audio. I've long stopped being excited when I read "Opus" on HN. It's refreshing when it turns out to be the audio codec.

No telemetry, no spying, no ads, no AI, no .NET, nothing.

How will MS PMs meet their quarterly targets without Windows phoning home every moment someone is using it? \s

I'd love a currently supported, slop-free Windows XP or 7, hell even 10.

It's been happening once every decade or so. I'm not surprised that they are being sued again.

Because that wasn't the point. (Moving away from big tech in general was the point.) Way to be defeatist though.

I stopped using Google search after the Snowden leaks, moved off Gmail about five years ago, and started using GrapheneOS over a year ago. I barely use anything Google anymore.

An event listener is attached to the image using the command event. When one of the buttons is clicked, the listener runs code based on the custom command value assigned to the button, rotating the image and also updating it's alt text to indicate the new angle of the image.

I think I understand how this command attribute API works, but it strikes me as superfluous. Why not just use onclick with maybe currentTarget and/or data attributes?

I canary trap my email addresses too. No, I haven't had any spam on the one I use to login. The one mildly suggested in my profile about field isn't it.

I work at an ewaste recycling company. Since I started working there over a year ago, over half the micro/tiny desktops I've seen come in are 7th gen i5 at least. In fact, I was using a Dell Optiplex 7050 Micro until about a month ago.

It's also quite nice that HDMI keeps basically all the logic and signaling the same as DVI

FTFY. VGA uses analog signals, HDMI uses only digital signals.

A significant negotiation took place late last year on Valve's side. Given its use of AMD hardware and experience, Valve attempted to engage with the HDMI Forum leadership to gain approval for the open-source implementation. ... Valve's SteamOS uses open-source AMD GPU driver components because the Steam Machine runs on an AMD RDNA 3 GPU, and the company's negotiations seem to have done their part.

Gaben be praised!

I'm positive that some combinations and ranges are invalid or reserved.
