Funny, I just uninstalled it yesterday.

I only used it for the automatic blame behind the cursor, but I just learned that that is built-in to VS Code (something like “toggle blame decorator”). The built-in one is faster too.

The “compare references” feature is nice.

For those looking for a more open alternative, check out openGrid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mDBue4fw3U

I found Multiboard really confusing and it was never clear what I actually needed to print to start snapping things together. openGrid is much simpler in comparison and also took up a lot less material (especially when using the Lite grid variant)

I'd rather him resurect that space game that was teased a while back..

The premise was something along the lines of the sleep timer had a byte overflow error or something and instead of sleeping 10 years, it ended up sleeping thousands...

( Edit for spelling I hope )

Yes - it was called 0x10c. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/0x10c

On Windows of all places (95ish to MEish) there was a remote tool called radmin and it had something that I wish companies had embraced: it hooked in to (maybe even before?) the window-rendering functions and sent the changes over the network. It’s hard to explain exactly what I mean because everyone is so used to streaming pictures of the screen over the network (if they even use remote access at all), but you could have less than 20ms latency while controlling over the internet while using tiny amounts of data (50kbps? 100? not sure but somewhere around there).

OSX had the opportunity to follow that path before settling on the “render windows, capture the screen, compress the image, send it over the network to be decompressed” VNC-style remote access that’s bog-standard today, and if they had Vision Pro would be set up to be an absolute mind-blowing macOS experience.

Yeah, you can do this with x forwarding on Linux. Not sure if there’s a modern Wayland equivalent.

I’m curious about “L” being a curse world in Cantonese. I looked it up but couldn’t find anything about this.
lbussell commented on Out-braking the ABS myth [video]   youtube.com/watch?v=sDbWZ... · Posted by u/dsego
lbussell · 2 years ago
I ride motorcycles on the track, and most track riders/racers disable or delete ABS on their bikes. The idea of ABS sounds great, but it’s often too primitive for high performance riding. On a hot summer day with sticky tires and a clean track, you’ll flip over the handlebars before you lock the front wheel. However, most ABS systems work by detecting the speed difference between the front and rear wheels. As you brake hard into a corner, the weight transfers forwards and the rear wheel can come completely off the ground. I’m braking as hard as possible but at this point the ABS sees the rear wheel spinning freely in the air and decides I don’t have brakes anymore. Check out this clip from WSBK for an extreme example of what I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/48lcS3hPVrE?si=UORAFvQt4Djf95Uv

I don’t claim to be able to out brake ABS on the varied conditions of the street though. I would NEVER turn off ABS outside a controlled environment. Honestly it should be a legal requirement for bikes just like cars and it’s pretty silly that manufacturers like to charge $500-1000 extra for this feature.

It's understandable if some people would prefer a larger layout. I wouldn't argue people should be using smaller keyboards.

It's "I don't mind moving my hand to hit the key" vs "I don't mind holding down some Fn key to hit the key". (Or with F1-F12 on Macbooks, you need to both hold down a Fn key and move your hand).

For an example of "36 keys ... how", I think the popular miryoku layout is fascinating. https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku/tree/master/docs/re... -- Often, mnemonics for particular keys aren't all that complicated.

I picked up the Miryoku layout a year or two ago and the home row mods (Ctrl, alt, shift...) make all the difference. Adding a thumb key into the shortcut to hit a key on a layer doesn't take much extra mental energy and it becomes muscle memory for certain shortcuts. It's a little like playing different chords on the piano. I added some customization for Vim arrow keys and now I don't think I'll ever go back.

I wouldn't have guessed C# would be a good fit for something like this, but neat to see!
lbussell · 2 years ago
I believe Ryujinx actually translates the ARM code to .NET IL, which is then JIT compiled to machine code by .NET. As far as I know it’s a pretty innovative approach to emulation!

And on Apple Silicon, it just runs the Switch’s Arm64v8 instructions natively using a hypervisor! [1]
