I think would expect an empty vec, with length validation app-side if the strings are required (or attribute to clear up ambiguity). Nothing in the attributes or type def make me think zero is an invalid number of strings.
I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg
I don’t remember for sure, but you might have to pick a custom install vs picking the defaults to get to that UI.
The installer won’t format them by default, but there’s a “quick format” option you can use when you’re selecting which drive to install the OS on.
Love this! Thanks for supporting live content in such an extendable way 💜

I’ve always had trouble feeling like I’m unaccomplished when my weekends are filled with incomplete side projects, where I jump to follow the next curiosity, but contextualizing it in this way seems super helpful.
Happy Birthday, Meg!

Granted this was back before Unity got popular and Unreal wasn’t quite as accessible so maybe it was more of a requirement to build your own tech. 🙂
Projects were scrappy and minimal as a result, but the team could speak to the tech decisions on a deep level. No shade to anyone using off the shelf engines, but it’s important to know how they work, because things will inevitably go off the rails and teams need to know how to course correct.
I have plenty of criticism for game dev specific programs after graduating from one, but something they did right was forcing final projects to be engine-less. You could pick one middleware, but everything else had to be team built, including DCC to runtime asset pipelines.
Screenshot of beta.weather.gov with an announcement info box saying "beta.weather.gov has been deactivated until further notice." The message continues by mentioning "This page has been deactivated...due to the loss of critical federal staff, which leaves the project without the resources required to continue its development or for routine monitoring and maintenance."
This is what happens when 18F goes away: beta.weather.gov has been deactivated, “due to the loss of critical federal staff, which leaves this project without the resources to continue its development or for routine monitoring and maintenance.”

I heard someone today say we’re in the timeline where Biff Tannen stole the Sports Almanac, and suddenly everything makes sense.
In my experience, the text rendering is slightly better in macOS on QD-OLED given text tends to be slightly heavier with their rendering, but still noticeably fuzzy. The best workaround for me was moving from 1440p to 4k
Also, some people can be sensitive to how OLED pixels work as they are effectively pulsing on/off at a very fast rate to control brightness. I imagine this is a bigger problem if you’re reading text for extended periods though
One factor is subpixel layout. Some OLED displays arrange the subpixels in a triangle, or with an extra white subpixel which isn’t as compatible with text anti-aliasing algorithms on Windows, so text can look fuzzy/hard to read. I had this issue with a 1440p display, but upgrading to 4k addressed it
Hard agree. My partner is a federal employee and watching the Dems do literally nothing while Musk dismantles departments around hers is so damn infuriating.
I’ve been able to apply this to other systems languages but for some reason it stumps me when I try it in Rust. Looking forward to reading about your insights!
This one is such a banger too! Guns of Fury got its hooks into me good this weekend.

The amount of clever wordplay coming out of this whole ordeal is the only thing keeping me sane.
