I can't remember the last time a game did anything other than run (this is with only trying games that have been documented to work). I think the worst I've had is audio not working in cut scenes in some game, but I don't rem

I play multiplayer games with anti cheat all the time. The only ones that don't run are straight up malware.

Looks cool! I'm curious why you chose to use read for small files and mmap for large files. I haven't really used mmap much yet, but my understanding is that it's just better at random access patterns, and read / write i

You can just visit https://repology.org/ and see that GNU Guix has the 5th largest repository, ahead of Fedora and Gentoo. This does not include any proprietary packages, which can be added using https://gitlab.c

1) You missed half of my post 2) Zig will provide foundational knowledge that makes languages like Fortran easy to pick up (which is the other half of my post)

Both are mentioned in the thread, but lately I have been thinking that Zig and Scheme feel like the Yin and Yang of programming languages. Learning both of these languages won't teach you everything there is to know about programming,

If you extend the definition of functions to include state, sure, closures are functions. It would be more correct to call them procedures though, which are a superset of functions and operators with side effects. > An fexpr is a functio

I use AI (LLMs) all the time, but I use it very intentionally. I don't reach to it for everything. A while ago I was paying for both Kagi Ultimate and Perplexity Premium to see which one fit my needs better. I ended up dropping my Perp

Try hosting a cgit server on a 1u server in your bedroom and you'll see why.

As of 0.15.X, you can build strings using a std.Io.Writer. You can either: - use std.Io.Writer.fixed to use a slice for the memory, and use .buffered() when you're done to get the subslice of the buffer that contains your string or - C

Also been using Jujutsu for about 2 years. I feel like I have learned so much about how git actually works by simply not using git.

The Nix documentation is what drove me away from it years ago when I tried. I ended up landing on GNU Guix, where I have been for about 5 years now. I found the OS documentation to be much nicer (info pages!) and the decades of Scheme docum

I haven't found one. I don't carry a phone unless I have a specific reason (ie: gps). I use my desktop or tablet (Daylight Computer) with a voip service (jmp.chat) when I need to use a phone number, and I carry a Sony ZV-1 in my p

It seems like their stance is more a matter of development resources rather than a deliberate decision. https://orionfeedback.org/d/2321-orion-for-windows-android-l... It is interesting that they don't mention fut

Unless you need compatibility with Adobe file formats, Free editing software works fine too. I've been using Darktable for about a decade. People bash on GIMP for not being able to do what Photoshop can, but it's because GIMP is b

See all the remasters and remakes that didn't happen because they weren't legally able to. We are worse off as a society that enforces artificial scarcity on ideas than we would be if we returned to a world that did not have such

Zig is safer than C under default conditions, not faster. By default does a lot of illegal behavior safety checking, such as array and slice bounds checking, numeric overflow checking, and invalid union access checking. These features are d
