Same username on GitHub (public email there) and Reddit. I admit I am slowly losing the battle with my indox, so better ping on both. I would be glad to provide help where I can.

I have done it several time professionally (Motif, Qt3, GTK, etc, but not wx) to QtWidgets or QtQuick. It's been a while and I pivoted to other industries. It's a potential project killer, but it can be done. The trick is to wrap

Those "classic" UI toolkit as raster engines. Both GTK/2/3 and QtWidgets 4/5/6 have OpenGL backends, but they are slower than the raster. This is because the state machine that drives the draw context is sync

On the contrary, the analogy is very good. The steam engine represents power. Power can be used for a limitless number of applications. The steam engine is the CPU. You input energy (pressure/electricity) and extract work (mechanical&#

Gentoo has USE flags to use gnutls+compat_layer rather than openssl. This is/was possible because they was a strong-ish push a decade ago by GNU aligned projects to force this down the throat of each package because OpenSSL had a probl

Says the one who made the best/most_complex open source one rather than use QPainter ;) But really, QPainter suffers from a lot of the same issues as Cairo (and then some). The main "problem" with them is that they are CPU bo

Out of the top of my mind: * Gets good enough, but not great. Then most contributor lose interest and the pace slows. It makes the original roadmap impractical and more devs lose interest, which spirals into a dormant project (Inkscape) * M

Patches welcome :P But really, someone went quite far a couple year ago. Unfortunately he lost interest before the finish line. There is no such thing as a WM port from X11 to wayland. It's a full backend rewrite. The design that would

120mm + closed loop watercooling makes almost no noise. 140mm makes no noise (compared to background), but don't fit in the standard "U" format. 3U (ATX) can fit a full 120mm, but not a closed loop. 4U (ATX) take a lot of sp

The iPhone 3G and original iPhone both had Android ports. Back then the (internal) hardware was mostly off the shelf, so it was easier. Still, this is neat.

The Russians claim to have made such a system. They also claim nuclear powered torpedoes. It is not 100% clear how far they really are. However, there was detectable accidents, so they are at least really trying. It ain't all bluff.

My point is that this limitation can be bypassed if you are smart enough. The Linux kernel is more complex than any single BPF program, it has side effects. For example, let say that I am an attacker who which to execute a loop to brute for

by Elv13 7y ago
eBPF isn't safe to load without root privilege. This means no containers and no users process. From what I saw so far, there is fear that letting Turing complete programs in the kernel would make some future CPU/hardware vulnerabi
