It's an important distinction, you know!

The Xbox One consoles were never hacked because Microsoft went paranoid crazy on the security model

Excited to see how this plays out. Looks like there's basically nothing implemented yet though.

If you pause the video you can scrub by dragging the end of the bar. It's terrible UX but it's technically possible

So while not technically "secret sauce," it's certainly "special sauce." Good point.

Apple designed the silicon to have an "x86 mode" for the memory model ordering, as well as an undocumented mode that makes certain arm instructions set flags similarly to x86. There's a good write up of the reasons here: https://dougallj.wordpress.com/2022/11/09/why-is-rosetta-2-fast/

Fediverse really sounds like the metaverse but for feds... Not exactly a term i want to associate with

Yaml is fine until you want to abbreviate Norway and get false... toml doesn't handle everything well but at least it doesn't have insane problems like that.

Just call it a11n or a12n and nobody will know if they can't count or if you can't count

I'm pretty sure it already generates thumbnails for the posts, so they may be able to reuse that code for the sidebar. Or @Ruud could just point it at a smaller image. One of these choices is much easier than the other :)

 

The sidebar image on the homepage, https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/913f672f-5d9a-48b5-af28-1a8fbb4f7bc7.jpeg?format=webp, is a 1MB 1080p jpeg that gets loaded every time I open the homepage (at least without caching).

Wouldn't it improve both bandwidth use and page load speeds to rescale that image to the smaller size it is actually rendered at?

They breached the data back in February and were waiting for the IPO... I guess this is a better use of the leverage, although there's no chance it goes anywhere
