ptomato··on Sublime Text 4 Build 4142
yup, though it's worked pretty well with the languages I've tried it with (go & rust)
ptomato··on Sublime Text 4 Build 4142
Sublime does as well, for languages with LSP support
ptomato··on Sublime Text 4 Build 4142
> Is your complaint that the projects are folder-based instead of taking the form of a "project file" containing a list of files in the project

as an aside, you can totally do this with do this with sublime-project files if you want.

ptomato··on Sublime Text 4 Build 4142
they don't use QT; they use a custom toolkit.
ptomato··on Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
I'm not aware of any commonly used linux FS that allows `/` in a filename
ptomato··on Threadripper 7000 Storm Peak CPU Surfaces with 64 Zen 4 Cores
That's the consumer variants; the Threadrippers will almost certainly not be at a lower rated TDP than current gen's 280W. If they increased it by same percentage as they did for consumer, it'd be 450W, but that's unlikely; 350W might be in the cards, though.
ptomato··on At 4.4 miles, Wyoming team sets new rifle shot world record
funnily enough, a 20mm anti-tank rifle _was_ used in a crime back in 1965, to bust open a vault at a Brinks facility.
ptomato··on TSMC to begin 3nm chip production next month
Threadripper is pretty reasonably priced; a 5995WX is about $101/core, or about 3% more than a Epyc 7773x for 10% more performance. For comparison, a Xeon Platinum 8380, which has roughly similar perf per core, costs $224/core. Sure, consumer CPUs are a bit cheaper; i9-12900kf is about $45/core (though half of those are slow cores) and 5950X is about $34/core, but price discrimination for server lines has always been fairly standard. I think the least expensive you can get into Epyc Milan is around $55/core, but that's on a part that only needs half the cores on an 8-core chiplet to be functional; the 7773x needs all of them, for 8 chiplets, and the 5995WX is that but with even tighter binning for higher clocks.
ptomato··on The global housing market is broken, and it’s dividing entire countries
They let people build things.
ptomato··on EU Digital Markets Act, aimed at Google, Apple, Amazon, approved
yup. with google messenger it was used almost exclusively to spam google messenger users, and that's what'll happen with this as well.
ptomato··on Tailscale ate my network (and I love it)
on iOS, at least, the Tailscale app will pop up a push notification for you to authenticate in that case; I'm not sure if the same is true on Android but could be worth checking your notification settings.
ptomato··on Tailscale ate my network (and I love it)
no, you cannot; you must use a SSO provider.
ptomato··on Why am I no longer qualified to be a Brex customer?
They just rejected me; I'm guessing single-owner LLCs are a no go.
ptomato··on When Greenswashing Backfires – Thank You North Face
that's an (historical latin pronunciation is a subject of some debate) acceptable latin pronunciation of it.
ptomato··on Tailscale raises $100M
only with an enterprise subscription.
ptomato··on Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
Kitty is written in C, afaik.
ptomato··on Generics can make your Go code slower
Yeah, 1.17 got register (instead of stack) calling convention on amd64; 1.18 expanded that to arm64, which should be responsible for most of that performance improvement.
ptomato··on Lapsus$ hackers leak 37GB of Microsoft's alleged source code
all you have to do is run it through an "AI" and then what comes out is definitely not a derivative work and you can legally use it however you like. Microsoft is very confident in this; just see Copilot.
ptomato··on The case for induction cooking
Let me know when you can buy one of decent quality in the US with actual physical controls instead of some insane touch system designed by somebody who has apparently never actually been in a kitchen and marketed to people who won't use it but just want a thing that looks cool.
ptomato··on Open Web Advocacy
As long as the feature doesn't exist, people have to make websites that work without it. As soon as it does, people will instead switch to obnoxious interstitial screens telling and/or insisting that you enable push notifications or whatever to continue using the thing.
ptomato··on Open Web Advocacy
yup, I'd pay Apple an additional 20% per iPhone if they promise never to implement this horrible shit for website devs to endlessly badger users about to the end of time.
ptomato··on Thousands of Mazdas in the Seattle area are stuck on a single FM radio station
my similar system in a Toyota only replaces the left-most ~1/4 of the rear-view mirror, so it's still pretty usable as a rear-view mirror when it's active.
ptomato··on What I'd like to see in Go 2.0
yes, you can wrap code in {} to scope it.
ptomato··on Ask HN: Did I make a mistake jumping on the homestead bandwagon?
> farmhands to install fencing and clear an overgrown pasture, etc.

farmhands _decrease_ the buyer's remorse?

ptomato··on Three Electric-Jaguar Years
> I think there are only two EVs that are uncontroversial design triumphs: The Jag and the Porsche Taycan.

The Taycan is not the ugliest car ever, but claiming the I-Pace looks good is... certainly a bold stance.

ptomato··on Bullets: Sizes, Calibers, and Types (2020)
the full name of .38 is .38 Special, and the full name of .380 is .380 ACP. IIRC, .380 ACP was so named to distinguish it from an earlier related design, .38 ACP. In common use, if somebody says .38 they're referring to .38 Special as that's by far the most common cartridge with .38 in it, and if they say .380 they're definitely referring to .380 ACP, though it's also sometimes referred to as 9mm Browning.

ETA: and in the case of both these rounds, .38" is actually the approximate diameter of the _case_ not the bullet; the diameter of .380 ACP bullet is 9mm, and the diameter of .38 Special is .357".

ptomato··on Feature comparison of ack, ag, Git-grep, grep and ripgrep
that limits the number of output lines, not the length.
ptomato··on SerenityOS: Year 3 in Review
there's an old trick for that that works pretty well; always acquire all locks you need in alphabetical (or some sorted) order
ptomato··on Slack is experiencing a service disruption
> just one person made a dumb error and it blew up their site

yeah, the dumb error they made was "using DNSSEC"

ptomato··on Rsync.net Technical Notes – Q3 2021
yup, the Intel failure I mentioned below was a firmware issue, not any actual failure of the flash modules
