I wish it was feasible to have alternative mobile systems, but it's not really. You can't simply give up every popular app for a system nobody else uses or develops for. Sailfish has Android emulation, but good luck running bankin

I always assumed this was already how those were rendered, because that's kinda obvious, and raymarching is a standard technique for real-time volumetric rendering.

The web being polluted only makes me ignore more of it. You already know some of the more trustworthy sources of information, you don't need to read a random blog which will require a lot more effort to verify. Even here on hackernews,

No, they can't. They'll still be randomly deciding if something is fake or not, so they'll only have a probability of being correct, like all nondeterministic AI.

Exactly. The web before LLMs was mostly low effort SEO spam written by low-wage people in marketing agencies. Now it's mostly zero effort LLM-generated SEO spam, and the low-wage workers lost their jobs.

It's also only a little more than what Microsoft paid for Minecraft. Priorities.

The only attribute of the language is hijacking Google's marketing to become relevant. It's a terrible language, which has no practical reason to exist.

If you like Makefiles to run random tasks, and insist on not using the proper syntax for that, use `just` instead. It uses the same syntax, but actually for running tasks and not producing files, so you don't need .PHONY statements.

Israel are the terrorists. And linking to their propaganda, you're only showing how much you've been brainwashed by them.

The site you linked to seems to be on Musk's side though. Wasn't there a non far-right source? Calling this "censorship" is only adding to his agenda. Musk decided on his own account to close his office in Brazil, which

The terrorists didn't need an excuse to put bombs in pagers. The person you were responding was talking about the Hezbollah, though.

This terseness is what makes Haskell so hard to approach for beginners, unfortunately. After you went through the effort of learning the syntax, it becomes very clear what it means, but I agree that dropping punctuation between a bunch of n

The "dynamic borrow checker" is called a RefCell, and it's a footgun you have to explicitly point at your foot and pull the trigger, not something you'd randomly stumble upon. It's something you'd use very situ

If you're wrestling the compiler, you should improve your programming skills before trying to analyze programming languages.

Just learn how to program without mutating things unnecessarily, it isn't that hard.

Unfortunately NT doesn't have any usable distribution, so it's still a theoretical OS design.

The rust ecosystem is young, most of those libraries haven't even reached 1.0. Basing any serious project on 0.x libraries is always subject to this issue.

Build times are a bit slow, but runtime is just as fast as what you'd get doing the same thing in C or C++. Development time is absurdly faster, though, since you don't spend much time debugging annoying language-design bugs, and

Rust is blazingly fast, though.

Why would I want to "group" tabs though? Is it something related to that disease people have of hoarding thousands of tabs instead of just opening what they actually need?

Chrome does tabs exactly like Firefox has done for years, though. Except it uses 10x more RAM than Firefox.

The examples don't work, though.

Firefox worked on XP when it wasn't dead yet. There's no reason to port newer versions to a system that's no longer maintained.

Kolibri also exists, not sure how alive it is nowadays, though.

Exactly what I thought as well. UIs get increasingly slower as time passes, not snappier. We had snappy UIs in the 80s and 90s.
