What are you glad about exactly? This seems to be another big bang rewrite with LLMs. Fun but extremely unlikely to go anywhere.

Clearly zero effort.

Should have have maybe prioritized differently...

The name is pretty similar, but looks like there is where the similarities end.

It is a damn shame that tools like xdotool (automation) and sxhkd (global keybinds) are impossible to recreate under Wayland.

It is just awful and the entire composition does not make sense. Why is there a globe in the sky? Why is the text ‘open access’ there which is a completely different topic?

No thought or skill went into that image besides the prompt that the author wrote in 10 seconds. It signals that the author probably didn’t put any effort in the article as well.

Am I the only one that simply disregards everything that follows an AI slop image?

Calling "installing something without Google's or Apple's consent" "sideloading" is stupid.

I will die on this hill.

No it doesn't, unfortunately.

> The permission model implements a "seat belt" approach, which prevents trusted code from unintentionally changing files or using resources that access has not explicitly been granted to. It does not provide security guarantees in the presence of malicious code. Malicious code can bypass the permission model and execute arbitrary code without the restrictions imposed by the permission model.

Deno's permissions model is actually a very nice feature. But it is not very granular so I think you end up just allowing everything a lot of the time. I also think sandboxing is a responsibility of the OS. And lastly, a lot of use cases do not really benefit from it (e.g. server applications).

I don't really understand what the value proposition of Bun and Deno is. And I see huge problems with their governance and long-term sustainability.

Node.js on the other hand is not owned or controlled by one entity. It is not beholden to the whims of investors or a large corporation. I have contributed to Node.js in the past and I was really impressed by its rock-solid governance model and processes. I think this an under-appreciated feature when evaluating tech options.

The only thing Rust needs to have a chance to succeed is better C++ interoperability. Everything else is a nice to have.

You can buy access to it.

Any serious SQLite re-implementation should buy it and test against it.

Maybe if you can deliver information in small chunks in an interesting way that doesn't require a large attention span, it will work.

But if I have to read a wall of text, it's not an alternative to doomscrolling, it's an alternative to reading a book or documentation. And in that case I'd rather read a book or documentation.

I don’t understand what this does. Who would use this and why? I need an ELIF.

Edit: Announcement was more clear https://tambo.co/blog/posts/introducing-tambo-generative-ui

Can it also generate new components?

Exactly. I fly with low budget airlines (Ryan Air) that usually don’t bother.

I reckon the main speed up is from not having to launch a browser.

Fun fact, I rarely have to show my ID when flying in the EU. But what I don’t understand is why so many people don’t have an ID in the US. Seems like one of the very basic service governments should provide.

We don't have a marketing department, so we're happy to take suggestions on our messaging!

What makes it modern are the ideas behind it: the column-oriented layout, support for lightweight encodings such as FSST and FastPFOR and support for pre-tessellation. Also, enabling doing more computations on the GPU instead of the CPU, which are made possible thanks to modern graphics APIs like Vulkan and Metal. I agree that it is better to be specific about these things (if that is your gripe with it), but there's only so many characters that fit into a title. ;)

It's on our roadmap to support alternate projections, but as you can imagine it's a big project that so far nobody has been willing to pay for to implement unfortunately.

MapLibre GL JS does support globe mode. https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/examples/display-a-... May we should update our examples to use globe mode when showing examples, especially those that show a world map. We will take that feedback into consideration!

You can use the Equal Earth projection with a plugin: https://equal.bbox.earth/maplibre-americas/

Sorry about that. Noticed the footnote was broken.

Fixed the footnote, broke all other links. Should be OK again when the caches catch up.

Note that the demotiles style is not really comparable to a production basemap such as ones based on the popular OpenMapTiles schema. The article linked in the announcement has some more findings related to compression ratio.

Also note that lightweight encodings are built into the format, and different tiles can even be encoded in a completely different way. So you have to use heuristics to find the best combination of encodings and often you need to make a trade off between tile size and decoding performance. It is still early days for MLT, but all this means there are a lot of possibilities for optimization. In fact, AWS is again financing work on MLT this year, with a focus on optimization.

Lastly, when benchmarking tile size, it is good to look at actual usage patterns instead of size of the total tile set. Nobody is zooming into a random spot in the ocean, for example. ;-)

PMTiles is actually pretty agnostic to what kind of tiles it contains! There is already a PMTiles PR that updates the byte that specifies the type of tile to include MLT.

I unfortunetely have Deutsche Telekom as my ISP and I can confirm that in the evening websites that use Cloudflare have a latency of one minute or simply do not load at all.

I don’t understand why anyone that serves the German market would use Cloudflare. Regardless of who is at fault, you are losing a lot of customers that way.

They may have fractional scaling but font rendering absolutely sucks if you don’t have 200dpi or more.

I tried using macOS on a 4K 27 inch monitor and it was pretty unbearable. Worse than a 1080p monitor on Windows or Linux.

I have waited so long for 220dpi and high refresh rate! Love to see it. Will ditch my Apple Studio Display for it.

Except at that point the dollar will be so devalued that you are still losing in real terms.

Anyone except users that need to serve the German market. Due to peering issues with the biggest German ISP that have been unresolved for years, websites hosted with Cloudflare simply don’t load in the evening.

So, is there a laptop that has good support for FreeBSD support out of the box?

My requirements are: suspend/resume, being able to drive a 5K monitor over USB-C, wifi.

I found https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops but I don't know how up-to-date it is.

I'm curious why you think Apple would support any effort that does not benefit their bottom line?

Took me about a minute to figure out how it works.
