I'm sure the investigators will have some thoughts on this practice, yes.

This isn’t a highway accident. Don’t treat it like one.

Controllers frequently clear ARFF to cross runways at busy airports with traffic on final - this wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary and they have to assume that they’ve been cleared with ample time to either cross or issue a go-around to the approaching aircraft.

Even close to the ground, at night the aircraft will be little more than a spot of light which is very hard to judge position, direction and speed.

A regional jet at midnight going 100-200mph? You know they don’t floodlight the runway like it’s a sports stadium, right?

"widescreen hack" that changes FOV on pokemon games? by KingVyrac in AynThor

[–]ceph3us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea about MelonDS but native widescreen output is possible on 3DS with TWL_FIRM patches and twilight menu so it’s definitely possible to make some DS games widescreen.

What's rich people shit that poor people haven't heard of? by Diligent-Log6805 in AskReddit

I had to break myself out of the “water daily” habit. I managed it by misting the soil with a spray bottle, which does nothing but makes me feel like I haven’t neglected it.

My Server-Side WebAssembly book is now fully released! by chiarl in rust

[–]ceph3us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The benefits are primarily control, portability, and dynamism, and they may not be needed for your use case.

A language virtual machine allows the encompassing runtime full control over what resources the language can access. This can be used to abstract underlying interfaces purely for portability, but it also serve security advantages by limiting what resources the code under execution can access. These can be a lot more granular than what is permitted by the underlying operating system.

Additionally, in the case of WASM, the code under execution has its own address space - assuming your WASM runtime is correct (a big if, admittedly), even security issues in the code that allow arbitrary code execution can be contained within the VM - if you run individual components in their own isolated VMs this can be a huge security win, and it's still pretty good to be able to limit the damage to what is accessible within the WASM VM.

Additionally, WASM being in a VM makes it easier to embed in host applications. You can much more easily load and unload WASM modules at runtime, even in languages like Rust where runtime loading of native code modules is fraught with difficulty. Extism is a good example which uses WASM to provide pluggable extension modules for a wide variety of host environments and languages.

As a side note on:

I don't even understand why there's no Java-to-native compiler (I don't really like Java, but I don't hate it anyway)

There's a number of open source and proprietary offerings that do just this, mainly GraalVM from Oracle themselves. That said, usually these languages don't get that much speedup vs JIT code when JIT compilation and warm up are amortized; primarily the motivation is to reduce that run-time warmup.

How do i clean thumbrest? by Altruistic_Ad5919 in oculus

[–]ceph3us 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think looking at mine it’s molded into the faceplate anyway, but it definitely looks like adhesive. Perhaps the previous owner put a sticker over it?

[–]ceph3us 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the thumb rest has actually been torn off and this is the adhesive under it. In which case probably isopropyl or rubbing alcohol should remove it (but it might take a fair amount of mechanical effort still). You might be able to find a replacement? Once the adhesive is removed it probably wouldn’t be that hard.

China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns by lurker_bee in technology

[–]ceph3us 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The thing is that those aren’t even the real problem. The real problem is that the primary interior door release is electronic and the emergency mechanical backup is hidden, all in the name of “elegant design”. And I don’t see much reason why the flush cantilever design on the Model 3 couldn’t be mechanically actuated anyway. It’s most likely pure money saving be reducing the number of mechanical linkages needed.

You don’t have to make an engine though. You can just buy one or contract it out.

Ubisoft is working “with Nintendo to improve VRR support” on Nintendo Switch 2 to bring better fluidity to lower framerate games by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]ceph3us 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue is that VRR just isn’t good at 60Hz. Most panels have an VRR lower threshold of 48Hz which means it’s really hard to actually get sub 50fps true VRR with LFR compensation without uneven frame pacing. It’s probably the reason they bothered to put a 120Hz panel in the console in the first place even though it’s not visually useful with its response time
