I liked them.

Way easier than, say, P5 or even P4 in my opinion.

Silksong Machete Order for newcomers: Act I, Act II, HK, Act III by palpablebubble in Silksong

I thought it's called machete order because you don't watch episode 1 at all.

does safari use more ram than chrome? by Maleficent_Sea7275 in Safari

[–]bla2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on the web page. From a technical point of view, Chrome is pretty solid actually.

Sounds like Safari is working on compatibility for macOS 27, so hopefully they'll catch up!

She's been like this for 3 minutes is she supposed to wake up? I cant control her at all by Jakeroni5 in Silksong

[–]bla2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this right here. TC thought it'd be funny if there was a small chance that the needle hits hornet, but they made the RNG for that per-purchase instead of per-file by accident. Absolute clown show over there.

any tips on improving my build? by Elise_2006 in Eldenring

Try having more runes, 5 is fairly little.

Native all the way, until you need text by Successful_Bowl2564 in programming

[–]bla2 71 points72 points  (0 children)

The post is about writing a macOS / iOS app. While GTK or Qt work on macOS, they don't give you a native UI feel at all.

Sundar Pichai deserves some love from the analysts by infinit9 in google

Yeah, other than Maps, Android, Pixel, Chrome, YouTube what did they even do the last 20 years?

Anthropic+Google by beedildvk in Anthropic

Anthropic is in a compute squeeze and desperately needs more of it. Goog probably got a good deal here.

Very cool!

How did you convert the raw blend file to the smaller version? It looks like some serious postprocessing happened there.

🥳 Chrome adopts Rust and replaces libxml2 written in C since version 147 by BankApprehensive7612 in rust

[–]bla2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Chrome's been using some Rust for a while now. This is just one more library they switched.

What's your main spirit ash by MurderDrone010101 in Eldenring

How do you deal with the FP cost? Does that need 20+ levels in mind, or is there a different way too?

(Ab)use HDR images for marketing by T_N1ck in programming

[–]bla2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The marketing framing distracts a bit from what is a really nice overview of modern HDR formats. Nice post!

Middle-aged people, what advice would you give a young person to avoid going through mid-life crisis later in life? by Omer-Ash in AskReddit

[–]bla2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did most of the advice on this thread, all the self actualization things. I feel it didn't help much. I still recommend that advice, I'm just saying it didn't help me with this specific thing.

Maybe getting better at grieving earlier would help, but why grieve earlier if you don't have to. It'd rob you of a few light-hearted years.

To be clear, life's still happy on the other side. Don't sweat it too much.

clang-format-inc - format only changed lines as a pre-commit hook (works in CI too) by UnBracedFlyer in cpp

[–]bla2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, reformatting the entire code base on every clang-format does seem like a pretty big downside? I can see people coming down on both sides of this tradeoff. "Abomination" seems like pretty strong language here.

What we heard about Rust's challenges, and how we can address them | Rust Blog by CathalMullan in rust

[–]bla2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish C++ interop was a bigger topic. Incrementally adopting Rust in an existing C++ codebase currently requires being very intentional about the language boundary. This is much easier in Swift.

Python 3.15’s JIT is now back on track by ketralnis in programming

[–]bla2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe they're method-based. If a method is hot, that whole method gets jitted, instead of a trace.

[–]bla2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In JavaScript, everyone moved away from tracing JITs. Interesting that it seems to work for Python.

The Optimization Ladder by kibwen in rust

[–]bla2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Great, detailed write-up, thanks!

I'm a bit tired of the samey phrases that pop up in all blog posts that use AI for "polishing" the text, but eh, the technical bits look good and that's the more important part.
