@GergelyOrosz I'm reminded daily of https://t.co/s6649VzK3b - it's not my site, but I wholly agree with the sentiment.

And yes, it used to wreck spinning metal HDDs on laptops - or, at least, babies smashed and crashed HDDs 😅

@notch @tomieinlove Calling out benchmarks is useful, because in some of the scenarios you may even find that the difference between the two is non-existent, depending on your use case:
- is the return value discarded?
- is the return value used?
The compiler may even replace trim this completely

[Chris Hewitt @chrish619]

@notch @tomieinlove Premature optimization is usually a two-fold problem:
- focussing on areas of the program that either amount to nanoseconds, or picoseconds where other (potentially major) performance problems arise
- focussing on those performance issues, over readability
1/n

@JLarky Argh.. This will be because the search term exists in, or nearer the domain name I the uri.. Which will give it a more "weight" - even if other projects have more follows/stars - and added weighting if it appears multiple times.

Search engine algorithms are soo basic sometimes.

@WebDevLaw In a site that touts all e2ee is for nefarious purposes, someone's credentials leaked - that's funny.

Its a good that we have some way to stop passwords being intercepted when you login to a site... Oh wait.

Side note, I spotted this article yesterday "Oh, I know them!" 😂

This is a problem for so many "single player" games that have online boards, or DRM mechanisms.

I understand that there's a cost to maintaining software - but there should be some kind of process to migrate games to a community for maintenance should a developer drop services.

Playing @mirrorsedge and the servers have been shut down. I never understood why they didn’t use server less or a single VM for the couple of dozen of us who play games like this. There needs to be a way for EA pay the $30 it would take to keep this running every month

[Chris Hewitt @chrish619]

@mightywrath Windows 11:
- Task Manager & Notepad overhaul is nice;
- not enthusiastic about the Start Menu - but it's search still works;
- If you're using Intel with E-core/P-core, scheduling actually works - Win10 just sees a core, and your game threads might run on slower cores

[Chris Hewitt @chrish619]

@mightywrath It reminds me why I like @WorldofWarships... But WoW with RPG+looting elements while fronting £74.99, is a tough sell.
At the very least, I'll be waiting until it is < £30.

@DJSnM @astrobotic @Int_Machines Ix-nay on the crunch-say

Just a suggestion. 🤣

[Chris Hewitt @chrish619]

@WebDevLaw Wait.. "Maintain System and Data integrity, no backdoors, and no forced decryption" is a win, in my view - as it was fundamentally and technically flawed from the outset.

But, if that's the case, doesn't this Bill now have "no teeth" - and if so, is there any point now? 🤣

[Chris Hewitt @chrish619]

Sweet.
Thanks @AMD @gamescom

@sansom_amy Loving the block colour aesthetics.
Although, if I'm completely honest, it reminds me a lot of the original Google Camera logos on Android.
(Yes, I know which came first)
