> "Stability" is lacking in video editors because none are written in Rust. I’ve doubts about this statement. PS: Pitivi is implemented in Python.

by ho_schi 3y ago
Regarding Pitivi I have to confirm that. I tried it multiple times on a novice-level (just cutting and accelerating). Unreliable and crashing, both on AMD and Intel. The quality of encoded result is also bad, even with H265 and highest qual

Question std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); What is the effect of turning off synchronization with legacy functions from C? When C++ is used for I/O and no C is used this should be a habit. I’ve the impression that most

And buy a compact camera. To be honest. At the moment a device of any kind is left unattended accessible for others security is already violated. Ability for physical manipulation allows for literally everything - same status as harmful sof

Yep. The photo thing is my use case and the one where the lock screen fails to work with FaceID. But there a various use cases and this things carry the same data as a laptop. Losing a Nokia 5110 was bad. Losing an iPhone as “average” use

by ho_schi 3y ago
The cameras - i.e. FaceID - on the iPhone are unlocking the iPhone prematurely (to early). Why? Because they unlock the device in advance before you request it by action. Watch the small lock . It unlocks before you swipe up. Example? You

Bugreport for headline Linux users provide more and better bug reports. Which helps developers improving overall quality. I still wonder why Valve didn’t provided Counter-Strike 2 earlier for Linux. The average user of Windows

Oh. Microsoft invents new APIs and don’t maintain them. Win32, MFC, WinForms, WPF, WTL, WinUI - What is the next? Therefore Windows looks like a patchwork and is hard to use. And half of the UI is literally still Win2k. For applications by

8GB RAM would be enough. If not companies searched and found a successor for Flash. Is is Electron! It wastes memory, it is slow, it doesn’t integrate to Linux, Windows and MacOS and it allows to deploy bloated JavaScript locally. But it i

I would even argue that cryptocurrencies are worse than banks. They are unregulated and some politicians believe wrongly it is good. That is the worst possible combination? By design cryptocurrencies make rich people richer. Either they b

Is that bad? My impression is that people without a TV or relying on a feature phone seem rather happy. Does something provide a necessary purpose? Is there an alternative? Is it working autonomously? Bidirectional? I also assumed you nee

Look at Hackernews, Stackoverflow or Amazon. All of them work perfectly fine without JS! And only Stackoverflow (Markdown Preview) has a reason to use it at all.

You probably should blame the people which made the game? We face the same issue on Windows, too. Low quality ports from console to Windows (e.g. The last of us ). So it is more about appropriate ports. Valves native ports of games - CS1,

Yep. Metal was a little early. Why they should? Because it it would improve portability for their platform and Linux. And it weakens Microsoft. What we've instead, three competing APIs. Apple labled OpenGL deprecated and many rely no

by ho_schi 3y ago
Please no! Don’t use Proton as API. It is a compatibility layer trying to implement what Microsoft’s implementation probably does. Use Vulkan or OpenGL if you can. Proprietary APIs? In 2023 we shall all know to avoid them. It is not 1998.

Electron is Flash for the Desktop[1]. It is cheap to implement. It wastes resources, doesn’t integrate natively and is a security problem. As usual the industry safes money and the customer has to pay for the memory. I’m sick of application

Now it looks like a fair and good offer. And later - when you depend on it and are stuck in the vendor lock-in it becomes expensive?

That is what closed-source software does on Linux and Windows and Mac. Usually all required libraries are shipped with the executable. Most don’t link statically, sometimes this even isn’t possible. People also ship Microsoft’s system libr

I hope for both and the categories are aiming for both. I assume “also Linux” for AAA and the “only Linux” for small independent developers :) What I expected for 2023 was Half-Life 3 with a Linux port. And the press release stating that a
