- Comment on Tool for instantiating a C++ template at runtime? 9 months ago:
This doesn’t specifically use the template metaprogramming interface for C++, but seems to do what you want regardless. github.com/jmmartinez/easy-just-in-time
I’ve never used the library myself though.

- Comment on Introducing Numbat: A programming language with physical units as types 11 months ago:
This is a cool idea. There are other programming languages that have libraries that expose similar behavior. For instance, Rust has the uom crate, Haskell has the units package, and C++ has the header only library SI.
But there is something to be said about it being built in.

Change to Haskell formatted commas and the problem goes away :D
{ "a": 1 , "b": 2 , "c": [ 3 , 6 , 9 ] }
- Comment on Monaspace - Microsoft presents a new font family for code 1 year ago:
If the streching is so small as to be unnoticable (and I agree it’s pretty subtle) then I also don’t really understand the benefit.
Typically, the idea behind this sort of design is that it should be unnoticeable. The motivation is that, with other monospace fonts, the differences in character width, along with the inconsistent spacing and line thicknesses are both noticable and distracting. Some of this badness is avoidable, and this is what this font attempts.
and yeah that height difference is really weird. That almost seems like a bug.
I’ve been informed, (and had to double check because I didn’t believe it,) that the two "i"s are actually the exact same height. The first looking larger than the second is an optical illusion. Font design is hard.

True, they are the exact same height. Holy optical illusion, Batman!
- Comment on Monaspace - Microsoft presents a new font family for code 1 year ago:
Here’s your code example in the editor. I don’t personally think the difference between the 'm’s is super noticable. But what did strike me a lot more is the difference between the two 'i’s in the first line.

Does this scope do Fourier analysis? If so, can you see which frequencies are being suppressed? Does this suppression at this frequency also occur with generated white noise?

And likely many more. These were just the ones I could find in a short search and were at least moderately annoyed by.
- Comment on [VERGE] Gmail is getting emoji reactions 1 year ago:
I use Thunderbird, and if this takes off in a real way then Gmail will be unusable, because each emoji reaction is realized as a separate email. 👎

You can likely inspect the traffic if you use Wireshark.
- Comment on If you work remotely, your bosses are probably using software to track you. Here's how they'll catch you slacking off. 1 year ago:
Disclaimer, I have not studied the software in question and there are many ways to implement it, so this isn’t a way to say a computer is clean, just a way to detect if it’s infected.
Typically, keylogging programs like these are installed as device driver filters. Open devmgmt.msc, locate your keyboard and right click -> properties -> details tab -> property drop down -> upper filters and lower filters.
These should be empty normally. If there are entries present then you have some program that is hooking into your keyboard driver and accessing your keystrokes.
Similarly, there should be a filter on your mouse.
If you are especially paranoid, you can jot down the GUID of the keyboard and mouse driver (it looks like a long hex number with dashes surrounded by {}s), then shut down the computer and boot to a rescue disk, open up regedit, mount the registry hive for SYSTEM it’s located in \windows\system32\config\system, (let’s say you mount it to SYSTEM.remote), then navigate to SYSTEM.remote\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
Then you scroll through this key’s values and look for UpperFilters and LowerFilters.
The reason why you do it this way is to avoid a rootkit situation, where a driver also hooks into requests to the OS for certain information, and uses that to hide its presence.
- Comment on Do eSIMs have any downsides from a privacy standpoint? 1 year ago:
If a phone can track you with a deactivated eSIM then it can also track you without a SIM, by just also giving you a secret eSIM for use when your regular SIM is missing, and then simply lying to you about it.
