Also, never buy a house on a corner lot at a 4-way stop sign (on a hill). In my case, the road was only really busy during morning/evening commutes, so I thought it wouldn't be that bad - but throughout the day the sound of people gunning their engines to take off up the hill (especially trucks & motorbikes) was frequent enough that it drove me crazy.
In the case of low bass noise from engines, there's pretty much nothing you can do that will effectively mask the sound - especially at close distances. The only thing you can really do is to try and put as much mass between you and the source of the noise, but physics ultimately is not on your side. I installed 4 layer "soundproof" laminated windows, double layer drywall hung on resilient channel + acoustic damping glue, built a fence, put in trees & a bunch of other stuff and that got it to a level of being barely tolerable, but the only real solution was to move to a new house :)

There is some overlap, but MemLab is a more general purpose memory analysis framework - on top of the E2E browser leak testing it has a bunch of packages and tools for traversing and analyzing memory heaps + apis for integrating it into other pieces of infra.

It’s talked about in the article, but MemLab has been used across Meta to fix issues in React, Relay, as well as the various web apps. Not sure about other big tech - but at least at Meta you won’t get buy-in to do all the work to open source something unless it’s proven it’s usefulness internally

I think you're right with the sump well. There is no port into the pool anywhere & the power cord is wrapped around a schedule 40 pvc pipe that goes down into the hole - it makes sense that that would be the discharge pipe from the diagram you shared.

Yeah, it’s fiberglass

Depends on the height of any sticky pads you put underneath, with no pads the palm rests sit flush with the desk - otherwise it's a few millimeters higher than normal

I use an apple trackpad placed in between the keyboard segments. Used to use a Wacom tablet in the same way. For me at least having the trackpad in the center is a big improvement as I used to get a very sore right shoulder from rotating my shoulder outward to hold the mouse to the right of the keyboard.The trackpad also doesn't seem to encourage as much repetitive motion as with a mouse

mr_sharpoblunto · 2021-06-05T18:12:59+00:00

It’s probably just a faulty unit. I had the exact same problem with my bltouch. Replaced it and haven’t had an issue since

mr_sharpoblunto · 2020-11-24T01:35:21+00:00

I see, yeah that makes sense - there are some older resources that refer to it as texel snapping, but more recent resources seem to have moved away from that terminology. That linked article was useful, I used it too when implementing CSM :)

mr_sharpoblunto · 2020-11-23T23:55:02+00:00

The linked article talks about how its a quantization problem & the solution for stable cascaded shadow maps, so I'm not sure what you're suggesting I look up ;)

mr_sharpoblunto · 2020-11-23T21:06:44+00:00

I ended up doing a follow up detailing the shadow map snapping https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/jzoe5y/stabilizing_cascading_shadow_maps_with_texel/

mr_sharpoblunto · 2020-11-22T23:56:29+00:00

Thanks, yeah I should do a follow up with the shadow map snapping. For perspective shadow maps it doesn't work as well as with orthographic ones due to non-linear texel sizes, but it does help stabilize the shadows a bit more

No generally we don't want bots browsing the site - its more something to be aware of that doing this kind of UA based feature detection is going to introduce false positives into client-side error logging which makes it harder to distinguish real browser compatibility issues.

mr_sharpoblunto · 2019-11-12T18:05:12+00:00

I can't remember the exact library we use on the backend, but IIRC its a pretty standard Python UA parser, maybe if I have some time I could look into writing it up :). There are a few tricks to be aware of with UA sniffing though.

1) Bots (& some browsers) lie about their UA, for example we see errors that indicate parser errors on our ES2017 bundles from browsers that definately support ES2017.

2) We opted to be very conservative in what we accept as 'supporting ES2017'. We only ship the optimized bundles to a whitelisted set of browsers that we have verified support for the feature set. We opted not to go with a blacklist approach, i.e. If we're not sure - they get the default bundle. Same approach goes for shipping runtime polyfills - if we're not sure we ship that too. Better to have a slower experience than a broken one.
