Both run on Azure. The Windows one runs the Windows Server Datacenter edition in Test Mode. Both use a local SSD for performance.
Windows sucks at 2 things: opening files and creating processes. TL;DR: This is due to the way processes are created and the driver framework.

And yes, Epic Games Launcher is pre-installed on CI machines used by many Fortune 500 companies to build the binaries they ship to end users.
If someone can compromise Epic, they get a turbo boosted SolarWinds-style supply chain attack at scale.

Hard agree.
All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

I'm trying to find the formal documentation for the type "Error" in @typescriptlang.org website and can't find it!
I eventually learned it's part of lib.es2022 (which has a different type from Error defined in lib.es5!) but that's not obvious IMHO

It's so annoying when GOOGLEFINANCE() is down.
I missed the times when it was a reliable source of data.

Oh my! The new "Avoid crossing wall" feature in @bambulabglobal.bsky.social Studio v2.3.0 really sound awesome for TPU prints. Looking forward to try it!
"Don’t slow down outer wall" will really help with some prints.

Coding agents will mark a stronger appreciation for tighter linter rules, to a point that bothered humans writing code.
Coding agents don't mind checking for every error, disallowing unused variables or private functions, strict coding style, etc.

An idea for European countries:
A company paying every employee >150k€/h gets in return:
- no worker council
- extremely limited labor protection (you can fire people with 2 weeks notice)
- simplified taxes

#TIL Partial<> in typescript, thanks to Qwen.
That's the nicest part of coding agents, they sometimes sprinkle little bits of knowledge at unexpected places. You have to be on the lookout to leverage the learnings.

Interesting way to scam users. The attacker creates a github account, a repository and then spam as many users as fast as they can via GH issues, trying to direct them to github-verification - dot - com via the automatic email on GH issues. The domain was created a few hours ago.

AI tools are reasonably useful for refactoring statically typed languages because it's much easier to detect when they got it wrong. I do it with AI when the refactoring cannot be handled by a LSP, when there's not a clearly deterministic path to achieve it. It's not my default.
So much talk about how AI coding tools can be used to generate software from scratch
Yet when I talk with professional devs, the single best use case is... migrations! (and it's very useful there, saves a bunch of time and devs are happy to use it)
