They’re not the same though. YouTube doesn’t make the content.

Thanks for the video recommendation. It’s a great video explaining and showing what’s going on in hardware. No filler content, very good.

I really don’t understand the point of this. If you’re in a browser all day, then you’re also in your browser all day so just use a free app (or even the built in calendar that most OS’s have.

There’s absolutely no way I’m ever going to enable notifications on my browser with how many garbage websites try to send notifications.

And on top of that, there’s a subscription for one of the most basic bits of software there is. The FAQ even says none of the data leaves your device, so there’s no ongoing server costs to cover.

I don’t get it.

I’d probably bet that the majority of games on steam have less than 1000 sales, so being a popular game on Steam probably doesn’t mean much compared to being a popular game by daily active users viewing unity ads.

I was once pulled on to a small unity mobile game that was being released by a small studio in the iPhone 4 days to help fix performance issues. After looking at the frame capture, I could see that the entire scene was being rendered about 5 times per frame from different angles. Turns out the team had a bunch of cameras enabled, but because they only saw the rendering from the last camera, they just edited that one.

I sometimes think Unity makes making games TOO easy, and you end up with people that have no technical knowledge of the way games work so they can’t fix/diagnose the most basic things. Obviously the game runs slower when you render the scene 5 times, but they didn’t even think to open a frame capture tool.

The fix for the issue that plagued them for months, was to uncheck the ‘enabled’ box for these unused cameras. Probably took 30mins to diagnose and fix.

That’s exactly the point. If you can list the number of ‘AAA’ games on one hand, then the meme holds true. I work on AAA games on in-house engines, and I’m yet to meet someone at work that would consider using Unity for anything other than a mobile, or small ‘indie’ game.

In the UK ‘Sudafed’ (the brand of decongestants) is available off the shelf, but doesn’t contain pseudoephedrine. There is a different ‘Sudafed’ branded coloured box that you can get from behind the counter by asking someone, that does contain pseudoephedrine.

This is a pretty bad take.

Not only is the new (apparently, I don’t use Edge) order easier to dismiss with the ‘better’ option, but it also matches Microsoft’s own guidelines which are applied in most places in Windows: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/uxguide/win-...

“Firstly, you are contributing less to the economy by not supporting local restaurants, sandwich bars and coffee houses in the vicinity of the office and spending less on transport. This means you are of less economic “value”, which may sound brutal but it is a fact.”

What does this have to do with how much someone should be paid by an unrelated company? I’m still going to be buying food from wherever I’m working, regardless of it being near the office or not.

This whole article seems to have been written from the viewpoint of CEOs (which isn’t surprising, given the newspaper).

And most people won’t even need to fill a self assessment at all (if you’re not in the higher tax bracket it’s all handled automatically)

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I’m talking about modern ads that you see now. They will often say ‘search for Hilton hotels’ or whatever, rather than the domain. I thought that was to help SEO

I always assumed that ads that told people to search for the product/company were to raise their search ranking (due to relevancy?). But I’ve got no idea if that would actually make a difference or not, or if it is just so people don’t have to type a URL as you said.

Why have bad feelings at all. It’s a shop, and I’m assuming the end goal of you looking for discounts is to make purchases from that store?

I received some cheese in a food kit that was labelled as Vegetarian, but I misread it as Vegan so I didn’t bother eating it (I’ve had bad experiences with vegan cheese in the past).

I’d not seen cheese labelled vegetarian before which is probably what threw me off, but I didn’t even think that the rennet in cheese comes from cow stomachs, so having a vegetarian alternative to the rennet makes sense.

After realising my mistake I tried the vegetarian cheese the next time it showed up, and it tasted indistinguishable from other ‘normal’ cheese I’d had in the past.

My misreading and prejudice against what I thought was vegan cheese would have stopped me buying something that I liked. If it wasn’t marked as vegetarian I wouldn’t have even thought twice about eating it.

Yes, you can do basic stuff directly in VS watch did windows, or for more advanced stuff you can use NatVis - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/crea...

I actually dislike Teams because of the Office integration. Teams where I work ends up with 10’s of ‘teams’ with 100’s of channels. Each channel having its own set of documents that have been uploaded and added as tabs to a channel. It’s impossible to find anything, but even when you do, you end up with a half broken version of web word or excel that fills the page so you can’t chat anymore.

I’d rather teams did 2 (albeit complex) things; Direct & Channel chats (with one or more people), and video calls with one or many people. If I want to use Office, I’ll use the right app.

It feels like Teams is trying to do too many things, and it’s bad at all of them.

There’s also ‘wefwef’ which is a SPA that’s highly based on the look and feel of Apollo for Reddit on iOS - https://wefwef.app/

I think they did a pretty good job with making it feel like an app, rather than a web page. If you add it to your Home Screen on iOS it’s imperceptible to an app and fixes safari lagging when you swipe back a page.

What is the idea behind this? The only thing I can think of (I’m not a web developer, so might be missing something obvious) is that it would ‘stop’ third party tools from being able to automate the login flow. But if that was the case, couldn’t they just change the html/JavaScript to allow pasting again? As far as I know, blocking of pasting into forms is a fully client-side setting.

I think they mean it like; the CEO that’s acting like a child, rather than literally.

Microsoft have an extension for Visual Studio that does this (and also shrinks lines with {}), I use it every day.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualSt... (there’s been a version for the last few versions of Visual Studio too)

macOS has AppleScript that does the same thing, and it’s built into the OS. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ap...

https://www.redditstatus.com - the Reddit status page is showing Fastly London ‘down for maintenance’. Lots of sites are having an issue for me in the UK (including Reddit), even bbc which is usually always up.

We make use of lots of distributed compiles at work which .o(bj) files are useful for, but to compile something locally it might be useful to keep things in memory - if all of the objects fit. The code base’s objects I work on won’t fit in ram, so will get paged to disk at some point during linking anyway

I’m a heavy Visual Studio user (work for a AAA game dev, C++), and find VS without extensions horrible to use, but after Installing the ‘Visual Assist’ (which seems to be an industry standard in game dev at this point) extension it gives me all of the advantages you mentioned. Have you tried using this (admittedly paid for) extension?

It’s not that simple. A ‘bent line circle’ can be crossed from one ‘end’ to the other much faster than with a line by going through the middle.

I asked for it to tell me how it was feeling, but using emojis to express it instead of words. I got a happy face, then a sad face. I guess they’re just the most common emojis that represent feeling?

I had fun asking it to form it’s answers using 2 emoji characters at most for each answer. It’s absolutely amazing what it can output (including hair colour of the emojis)

Which implies that this thing either has custom hardware for the watch, or it’s an app that anyone could install in theory if they had access. I doubt it’s the former.

On the face of it this sounds like a way to extract more insurance money.

I filled up today at a Tesco for £1.74, it’s definitely starting to come down in the UK (some places more than others/not at all).
