I came across a blog from a 2 years ago that compared different implementations of dot product. It had a couple interesting points. The cost of functional programming in #Swift was huge (31x on M1 and 198x on x86). I did an equivalent test in #Rust and the cost was 1x (on M2). That lets programmers use the high level abstractions without dreading the performance costs.

Rust:
left.iter().zip(right.iter())
.map(|(&l, &r)| l * r )
.sum::<f64>()

in reply to DennisL

that was a frustrating read.

Of the 6 practices:

1. Yes!

2. Yes! …but the example shown in the article is a bizarre anti-pattern that doesn’t reflect that principle at all.

3. Same as #2.

4. Eh, it depends. Build steps are over-used, but still absolutely necessary in lots of cases.

5. Yes!

6. This point has nothing to do with the rest, is a totally separate ideological debate, and shouldn’t have been included.

A bunch of comments requested an explanation on #Linux graphics drivers, so I decided to take a look at the topic, and explain Mesa, kernel drivers, the Nvidia drivers (Nouveau, NVK, the official #opensource modules, and the proprietary driver), as well as AMD drivers (with RadeonSI, RADV, AMDVLK and AMDGPU, plus AMDGPU-Pro), and Intel drivers (with i915, i965, ANV and the new Xe driver).

I hope it helps make things a bit clearer!

For those interested in accessibility and #3DPrinting, I need people to comment on the following Github issue. Prusa Slicer has always had accessibility issues for screen reader users, but the latest versions have gotten much worse. #a11y #prusa github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer…

“Writing HTML in itself isn’t that hard, no.

But: building user interfaces by elegantly composing this language’s features with CSS, creating pleasant designs and user experiences worth remembering requires experience and skills that should not be underestimated.”

"Website accessibility widgets add little value in making your site accessible to users with partial or no vision."

I dislike the term Virtue signalling, but overlays seem a good example: "expressing a viewpoint to display and communicate good character"

French educator Louis Braille was born #OTD in 1809.

He was the inventor of a reading and writing system named after him, braille, intended for use by visually impaired people. His system is used worldwide and remains virtually unchanged to this day. He was blinded when he was 3 years old. But when he was still a student, Louis Braille was frustrated by his inability to read and write.

in reply to Project Gutenberg

Then, Braille heard about a French army officer who had devised a system of written communication of raised dots and dashes for nighttime battles. He borrowed the idea of the dots, and set about creating an alphabet that could be read by touch. He decided that each letter would be represented by a different arrangement of six dots packed close enough that each letter could be read by a single fingertip. He presented his work to his peers for the first time in 1824.

The Many Pitfalls of Accessibility Overlays

“If you’re considering using an accessibility overlay to make your website ADA compliant, don’t.”

LibreOffice can open files in a wide range of formats – but its native one is the Open Document Format (ODF). And now there's an update to the ODF Toolkit, a set of Java modules for programmatic creation, scanning and manipulation of ODF files: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #libreoffice #standards #foss #OpenSource

@kuketzblog Hab mal dokumentiert wie man ohne die jetzt eigentlich notwendige App an das DE ticket der HSB rankommt: kuketz-forum.de/t/deutschlandt…

Die Aussage von deren Support war allerdings "Screenshots oder Ausdrucke des ticket codes sind seit diesem Jahr nicht mehr als gültiges Ticket anzusehen". Macht natürlich überhaupt keinen Sinn, ein Aztec Code ist ein Aztec code... aber wenn die Kontrolleure das auch so sehen hat man natürlich Pech.

Chinese scientists claim to have discovered a new quantum submarine detection technology that's an order of magnitude more precise and can fit on small drones.

This would actually be a game changer and render the entire AUKUS project pointless.

Hey all,

We are thinking about doing a regular community call for everyone interested in MapComplete.

Are you interested in joining? Please indicate what moments would fit you best: framadate.org/IZyxbVPjKR6vQKQw and how often you want the call to happen: framadate.org/wUZIlf6wmgyPvFIY

"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."

What the hell?? This is so creepy.

In the last days of 2023, I embarked on a hiking journey to the Canary Islands.
Renowned as a destination for tourists and beachgoers, these islands are also a heaven for hikers, and boast an array of diverse ecosystems, from coastal dunes to pine forests to volcanic terrains.
My journey took me along the #GR131 route traversing #Tenerife and #GranCanaria.
