I guess you're right. That this is the expected workflow. The way the UI by default dumps Prereleases and Releases together (with very small faint font to distinguish them) in the same tab called "Releases" is an issue so I s

a bit of a noob question. I'd love to be able to tweak code on the spot. Like I'm showing something to my boss and he wants something quickly adjusted, I write a couple lines, commit and then with Github Actions I get back an upda

With CMake you can build statically in a very reproducible cross platform way if you use Hunter and toolchain files. the tools are all there - just they're not popular and aren't widely used I wrote a bit of an old intro to the wo

Does anyone have any insight into why neural nets are used for the "blind" beamforming? I don't have first hand experience with machine learning, but this just doesn't seem to me like a machine learning type of problem.

Damn. That's a real shame. I really like Debian otherwise. It's still minimal to the point where you can understand all the pieces. I used it for years, but then 5 years ago I moved off of it just because it's so easy to get

how well do ppa's work on Debian? I don't like my system constantly updating (and occasionally breaking) - esp secretly behind my back like snap/flatpak but occasionally I do need the latest version of some package and i don&

Right, and OpenCL has POCL. The original question wasn't so much if the technology exists but will it be ubiquitous and guaranteed to be present on whatever platform you run on. Looking at SwiftShader - it looks like you can bundle it

I have a more theoretical followup then :) So you spend a lot of time in the talk massaging your sequential CPU task into an appropriately GPU task. It's clearly tricky and involves reworking your algorithms to leverage the parallelism

Long video, so I haven't watched it all yet, but I have a bit of a naiive question: Does Vulkan and WebGL/WebGPU "fall back" to running on the CPU if "appropriate" hardware isn't available? Or are develope

to somehow who's used it extensively - was a DSL really necessary? I find the whole idea of a separate language for just developing interactive media a bit off-putting. It's a huge price to pay over just plugging in an existing ma

thank you so much for that deep dive into the history and issues involved. I hadn't considered that it's tricky to have multiple -dev headers floating around. You can have packages link to different versions as needed, but you don

Thank you for taking the time to explain :) And yeah, zlib is a weird one. It's listed as zlib1g sometimes and the files are libz from what I remember I have a followup if you don't mind. I'm trying to rack my brain for old c

a bit tangential, while this is cute, what I've never been able to find is a definitive digestible guide to the final Debian package names. what does -dev -doc etc. really mean? (I often need a -dev package for stuff I'm not even

I did something similar with CMake and a lot of the details are incredibly challenging to piece together. Everyone just blindly copies existing linker/startup scripts. Very low level articles like this are rare and invaluable I spent a

is it part of the same pipeline? Graal is compiling to native while Gluon on Android I assume is running JFX on Dalvik instead of JVM (it possible I don't get how Gluon gets JFX to run on Android)

Yeah, I actually used fn-fx at first but it's quite complicated internally and semi-unmaintained. I found some bugs/issues and I couldn't figure out how to fix them. Then the project was taken over by a new maintainer but he

I suggest taking a look at Cljfx https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx It's built around JFX, but it's very Clojure-y (much more than the alternate Swing library). I've been making small GUIs with it and it

is asciidoc similarly powerful? I have everything in org/githubpages but I often get a bit frustrated with Emacs and its clunkiness. My issue is that orgmode has no spec and is so tightly coupled to Emacs - so ive ended up unintentiona

hmm, it seems to map to my workflow with Clojure lately. But there I'm massaging and generating new data sets (even though it's statless) but I can see that if you have a very settled data format then this would work in a language

a bit tangential, but when do you move form using in-application data structures (maps, trees, vector/arrays) to using a database? Is it basically when the data doesn't fit in memory? I've been programming for almost a decade

This is a bit tangential but maybe someone could give me a some advice. When running with many cores is there some way to get the Linux kernel to run them at a fixed frequency? I've been doing multicore work lately on AWS - which works

What are the "standard" algorithms for vectorizing bitmap lines? I'd had a little art project where I wanted to draw lines on the wall and then have them captured by a camera and vectorised .. preferrably "minimized"

Why are iframes bad in this case? In my purely HTML github pages I ended up hacking a header into the common CSS file bc that's "included" everywhere.. it's ugly and I don't think you can even put links in it... but
