From what I understand the need for a "proof-of-concept" comes from the fact these codecs/drivers often using memory unsafe "tricks" to increase performance and therefore need to be properly tested on a myriad of hardware to make sure the conversion to memory safe code isn't a significant performance impact.

> I was right: it was a risk, and it did slow us down. However, by being forced to use Rust, we ended up with a better design that was safer and easier to debug, and it was just as fast as the C++ equivalent. In the long run, it was a massive win. We’re all in love with Rust now, and 5 years later we’ve replaced nearly all of our non-Rust code (mostly Go) with faster, safer, and better-architected Rust equivalents.

Seems like a win?

Wow I really like that little mini-map on the right...

Reminds me of the ever-hilarious Microsoft Teams performance showcase: https://youtu.be/CT7nnXej2K4

Can't even view a thread without logging in now, got to hand it to Musk for reducing my Twitter usage from passive to non-existent.

Hence the inclusion of the statistics for the United States also.

I can't provide a direct citation but I worked on image detection shopping for Kakao[1] and can say from personal observation that at least in Korea these features are far more popular (and ridiculously profitable) among women. According to Forbes women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing decisions in the US[2] so I can't imagine it's that rare there either, but I could be wrong and this could be an entirely eastern thing but given Huawei is a Chinese company I would bet it's a very popular feature for the phone.

sure, but only because HN is mostly men working in tech. these types of features are far more popular among women. (not all women of course)

It's intentionally confusing but "not-for-profit" and "non-profit" are two very different things and it seems the article gets them confused.

It's the compression and it's kinda insane how different they look before and after[1][2], maybe they should disable compression for UI previews.

I'm glad you specified in your first comment on this site that you're not CIA otherwise I would have been suspicious.

I really like the current simple design of HN, my only issue with it is how ridiculously zoomed out it is by default. I've been viewing HN at 150% zoom for as long as I can remember.

I've always assumed it has something to do with HN being written in its own programming language.

Their rendering handling seems to be a lot better than gofiber's[1] which downloads nearly 1,000 packages and sadly that ruled it out as a viable framework when I was looking for web frameworks to use.

Also available on Steam[1], I wonder why they don't link to steam on that page nor their GitHub readme.

edit: nevermind it's in there, leaving this comment for others that block 3rd party iframes.

It seems every day I come across a new billion dollar tech company I've never heard of before. Their sites always have a ton of well known companies under their "Trusted By These companies" banner too, and always seem to include NASA.

I guess an infinitely large storage quota is only slightly less sustainable than a 45,000GB one.

Personally I use codeberg[1] which doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles but for personal projects it runs like butter.

Am I reading it right that the original Free Tier had a quota of 45,000GB? That seems absurdly high and not very sustainable (hence the change I assume).

It would be interesting to see the kinds of results that come from that. There's some insanely talented tinkerers in the code-golf community.

Seed 23478978945674839578275983475348957348597345984375345834753498 produces 0.4444444444444444, am I insanely lucky in my keyboard spam or is this a common output?

Some search engines seem to just completely ignore quotes now, it's very frustrating especially when I know what I want to search and the search engine just isn't letting me.

Violent: Intense or extreme, especially in emotion.

He's using capitals to specifically show intense emotion. Violent doesn't always mean physical violence.

The original blog post is an advertisement, they are advertising a new payment method. Whether or not this specific post on HN linking to the advertisement is also "just an ad" is what's up for debate.

I assume in this context it's because HN isn't just an aggregator but is instead also a community, a community in which Mullvad is rather popular with (given previous discussion on the topic). So yes it's an advertisement but it's also relevant news to this community, personally speaking the "News" post here about Mullvad supporting Monero is what finally made me switch over to it, so the news and ad were relevant to me as a part of this community. (and it was relevant without them tracking my every movement, how is that possible??)

I think people here are also interested in the steps Mullvad takes to improve user payment privacy, as again every time "news" about new methods of payment or concealment of user payment history is always met with high praise and interest. (as far as I've seen anyway)

Love that the video under the "De-google yourself" header is on YouTube.

My first thoughts on the linked video are that a well written and followed script would improve it a lot, the flow of consciousness thought pattern in your speech makes it pretty hard to follow the concrete features and reasons for the product being worth using (lots of aa's and umm's, tripping over words, changing topics too quickly), it's definitely understandable as it's just a self-made video for HN but I found it pretty difficult to follow.
