Why are we sending someone to “Extra Hell” for making an improved image format that has better compression and is an overall improvement over all 3 of the existing formats it replaces (jpeg, png, gif)?
Shouldn’t this apply to everyone the companies who refused to adopt it, thus breaking every normal image workflow? (Same thing can be said about JXL)
Edit: fix vague wording
Is it possible this is because of extra memory/storage costs? I thought Samsung sold way more fold/flip this past year so it seems weird to cancel the whole flip line to me
The fact that the macOS usage is still only half as much as OS X after ~6 years is pretty incredible to me, especially since Intel macs have still been supported until the end of this release cycle
Adding to the list of bundles, my new 3ds (still annoyed at that name) was bundled with animal crossing and it was digital as well
Calling reddit the last bastion of internet quality is a crazy take no matter what time period you’re talking about
(preface that I’ve never actually worked with wasm before)
It seems like wasm64 exists though? Does it have any crazy limitations or is it just not well supported yet?
Not that I want to defend AMD but the reason they haven’t been able to is because HDMI is a private spec and the HDMI forum specifically forbade them from releasing the driver they tried to publish a few years ago (even though the firmware with the actual implementation is in the GPU itself and still proprietary). That’s why 2.1 works on windows and not Linux with the past 2 gens of AMD GPUs.
They are quite literally taking the “if you don’t like it, fork it yourself” approach. Who said they aren’t going to make changes/improvements on top of it?
I don’t see anyone else mentioning it but this is also probably because brave browser is published under the MPL license so the licenses are actually compatible between projects. They don’t want to implement completely from scratch because there is a compatible existing implementation that they can build on top of instead of starting from scratch.
Ok but there’s a big difference between being on the bleeding edge of tech and releasing games which are borderline unplayable because of bugs and framerate issues to the point where Nintendo issues an apology on your behalf.
I think I’m cautiously optimistic after seeing the gen 10 trailer, but at the same time after ZA I’m ready to skip out on it if the direction looks bad.
I just want my black/white remakes so I can be done with this franchise -_-
Not that I want to defend Nintendo but Palworld barely even qualifies as the same genre as the mainline Pokemon games, literally the only thing they have in common is that you catch monsters
I was confused about this also, I’ve been using GameNative on a pixel 10 on and off since I got mine in October. Maybe compatibility just got a lot better because of fixing GPU drivers? I did notice a lot of games had issues but I assumed that applied to anything that doesn’t use snapdragon
It depends. I run GrapheneOS and it can pass everything except the most strict integrity check (which is just that you’re using a custom ROM at all).
In practice most apps don’t have any problems. Google assistant doesn’t really work for me but I’ve seen posts saying people have gotten it working. Google wallet and Google Pay are also explicitly blocked by google, so they will never work.
I think the reason GrapheneOS never did a GSI is because most of their security improvements rely on specific hardware calls that GSI abstractions don’t provide access to. This probably would still be an improvement over lineage though, just not as secure as base Graphene is.
The work-life balance is otherwise pretty good and my manager/direct coworkers are chill 🤷
Otherwise I would have lost motivation a long time ago
That’s the thing though. Even if the code is good, the plans are good, the outputs are good, etc, it still devolves into chaos after some time.
If you use AI to generate a bunch of code you then don’t internalize it as if you wrote it. You miss out on reuse patterns and implementation details which are harder to catch in review than they are in implementation. Additionally, you don’t have anyone who knows the code like the back of their hand because (even if supervised) a person didn’t write the code, they just looked over it for correctness, and maybe modified it a little bit.
It’s the same reason why sometimes handwritten notes can be better for learning than typed notes. Yeah one is faster, but the intentionality of slowing down and paying attention to little details goes a long way making code last longer.
There’s maybe something to be said about using LLMs as a sort of sanity check code reviewer to catch minor mistakes before passing it on to a real human for actual review, but I definitely see it as harmful for anything actually “generative”
As someone who has to sift through other people’s LLM code every day at my job I can confirm it has definitely not gotten better in the past three months
NixOS manages to be all of these at once except the manual dependency management
As someone who has worked with a pretty large C# codebase and several smaller ones, I’ve found it to be one of the least efficient languages to program in. This is maybe not a technical fault of the language, but the way Microsoft encourages developing C# means that once you get past a certain point even simple MRs will have 10-20 files changed. There is sooooooooo much boilerplate caused by .NET that even things like Java Spring Boot just don’t have (and even then I’d consider Java to be a pretty bloated language in terms of boilerplate).
That’s ignoring the fact that the ecosystem surrounding .NET is a lot more enterprise-y, meaning a good portion of libraries require paid licenses to use.
I’m realizing my wording might be vague, by “everyone” I meant the big tech companies that didn’t implement it, like Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Adobe. AFAIK most of the open source apps actually implemented support pretty quickly, and obviously it wouldn’t be the end users’ fault because they can’t change what formats are supported
