How would an open operating system fix a bug caused by sloppy game developers? I don't think anyone would think "let's not optimize the (equivalent of) critical sections in our operating system so that we don't break GTA

The problem with Firefox is that the money has to go through Mozilla, and Mozilla is not spending most of that money on Firefox. You cannot sponsor the development of Firefox directly, so your money ends up being wasted.

It's even more funny and amusing when you remember that in the initial release mail for Linux, Torvals said "just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu". https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os

This is actually very impressive - such a high quality project on technical level. I'll definitely dig into the source to see how the React & C++ widgets integration works as it looks like an interesting approach.

It would be nice if desktop software had to explicitly request access to different APIs on the system (network, filesystem, etc) as well as only request access to specific filesystem paths, then give us prompts that list the permissions tha

There are a number of areas in programming where I'd always choose C++ over Rust - gameplay programming, retained-mode GUI programming and interpreted programming languages to name a few have very complex circular memory models that ar

It's not universally supported by all packages, for instance C-based packages will not work, more info about it here: https://pypy.org/posts/2018/09/inside-cpyext-why-emulating-c... With that being said,

On semi-related note, it's worth noting that if you're trying to make a Python script run faster and don't have the know-how to re-write your program in C or how to write SIMD (if applicable), you can always try to run the sc

Considering the fact that these payment processors are still happily processing payments from PornHub, OnlyFans and other big real porn platforms, I don't think your explanation about the networks not wanting to be associated with porn

It's actually really small, according to Steam Hardware Survey, Macs are only 1.88% of Steam users, which is less than that of Linux, which is probably why most developers don't care.

This was the original sort function (it was meant to force "last" to be first on the list after the sort which obviously violated the requirement): std::sort(entries.begin(), entries.end(), [&last] (const auto &a, cons

Not at all, it may be a useful marketing metric, but not a performance one. The average load does not matter when your backend can't handle the peaks.

This is yet another issue with Rust, nowhere in my post have I mentioned C++, I made no effort comparing the two languages, I just pointed out poor developer ergonomics in Rust and you're instigating a language flame war as if you took

The first code snippet, which is as simple as it gets, perfectly illustrates why Rust is extremely annoying to work with. I understand why you need the into_iter bit and why the borrow checker complains about it, but the fact that even the

It's not a matter of personal preference, Windows UI is objectively atrocious. Like what is this even? Why does Windows need 20 different ways to handle context menus? https://i.imgur.com/uLLiMxS.png
