TIL that as well, it certainly makes the name make more sense!
TIL that PopCap’s engine was called SexyAppFramework and it’s open source. And everything inside it is prefixed with “Sexy”. SexyString, SEXY_ALLOC_MAP, SexyTrace... It’s certainly of an era, haha.
Many people start learning blender with the donut tutorial. It’s pretty famous. It’s a general beginner tutorial, but blender can be so weird that many skills don’t transfer (like how you move the camera in the…
It’s a security feature, Apple does the same when you register a security key. You must register two. If you’re using real yubikeys, it’s protection against losing one. If you had two from the start, you’re not at risk…
And also the weights for GLM 5.2 are 1.5 TB. The only Studios Apple sells today are hard-capped to 64 GB (M4 Max) or 96 GB (M3 Ultra) only. You'd need at least 24 new M4 Max Studios, or 16 new M3 Ultra Studios, or 3…
You can select a different test instead of scanning the QR code. There's a button under the QR code for a "visual test" which is just the usual "pick pictures containing a bicycle" thing.
I am not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure you can’t just slap an MIT or whatever else license on public code with an intentional trojan hidden in it and expect to not be held accountable for the damages caused by the trojan…
With all this discussion about Notepad++ finally being ported to Mac, I thought I’d drop a link to a previous attempt at a “port” that I’d heard of. Notepad Next: https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext It’s a (still…
The argument is "there is no significant evidence to support the claim that Apple has given up on the Vision Pro". I don't think anybody is arguing that it's selling amazingly well or is a growing market. And I agree…
And I very much appreciate that feature, and hope it never changes. However when I make comments here, I do it with the intention of reading what people have to say in response. If I am making a comment with the…
Maybe the posters might have deleted the comments themselves? I often post comments on HN, just to delete them 5 minutes later when I realize I don’t care to deal with the replies I’ll eventually get. You have to be…
> Why do you speak about yourself in the third person? When you submit a link to HN, there is an entry field for text in addition to the url. It does not really describe what the text is used for. For links, the content…
Anybody who has spent a day in school as a student knows that students can’t be trusted to follow the rules.
I think super cores are a new type/tier of core, not a rename of performance. The base M5 has super/efficiency cores. The Pro and Max have super/performance cores.
The people with green names almost certainly have alternate, primary accounts with that capability.
I can't speak for this developer, but as someone who dabbles in App Store applications, EU trader laws require that the App Store publicly displays an address for the app developer if they want to make their apps…
I wonder if the reason why the screensaver process doesn’t exit has something to do with the live wallpapers they added to macOS a few versions ago. The live wallpapers become your screensaver, playing the video. Then…
I used to work at Microsoft and I can tell you this was absolutely not true during my time there. As an engineer, you needed to have an answer to that question or else you could not be promoted (at least in some parts…
They laid off SDETs circa 2014 (I was one). I don’t think Windows ever had QA people, but it did have automated testing and dedicated people to write and monitor those tests, then file bugs if something broke. But not…
Years ago I lived in an apartment with intermittent connection issues. I phoned xfinity support who said they’d send a tech out at no cost to me. The tech comes, finds bad connections in the shared external apartment…
TikTok’s recommendations are based off as much info as it can get, really. Approximate location, age, mobile OS/browser, your contacts, which TikTok links you open, who generated the links you open, TikTok search…
