The other issue is that people seem to just copy configure/autotools scripts over from older or other projects because either they are lazy or don't understand them enough to do it themselves. The result is that even with relative

I'm really weird when it comes to exercise it seems... Doing intense exercise right before bed gets me into a really relaxed state and I fall asleep quickly. Like, doing push-ups and sit-ups for 10 minutes straight. I don't run th

I think the idea is simply to typedef __nostring__ char* bytes; And then use that type instead of annotating every single variable declaration.

But why do you even have to do this fucking bullshit that you randomly stumble upon, while googling error message after error message, ending up in random github repos and issues? And no, just because the three random cards you have work do

Yes, that's why they should have made them work properly. Simply put the main problem was that those old IMs required a persistent connection to the server when you "just" had to add a new protocol that can do session resumpt

He has stories on his blog about windows 2 iirc, so there was an overlap from a time where they were still relatively small. So I think it's a bit odd they never talked or met.

What I don't get is why they don't at least assign a dev or two to make the poster child of this work: llama.cpp It's the first thing anyone tries when trying to dabble in AI or compute on the gpu, yet it's a clusterfuck

libgd, the graphics backend of php. It's an ancient pile of shit yet the "maintainers" refuse An help, contributions and improvement as good as they can. The most popular example is emoji support on their text rendering. Ques

Interesting, at the airport I always see general "no (devices with) batteries in checked luggage" signs. One time I had an old phone with battery removed in checked luggage and when I arrived at my destination, I saw they fiddle

This was the norm in Germany for a while. Then we got a law ("Routerfreiheit") that forces ISPs to allow you to use and modem/router you want. Before that you couldn't do it with DOCSIS, but it kinda worked with DSL, if

That's not their point? Linux has all the drivers lying around on disk and on every boot just does hw detection and loads the appropriate ones. It takes a few seconds. You can take a Linux install from a modern AMD system, stuff it int

I don't think it's clickbait. Even though the title doesn't mention C# or .net explicitly it seems clear from that Span<> stuff that this is talking about some higher level language...

How about spice? I don't know anything about the technical details, but it seems to offer most of the advanced features like usb redirect and I think currently gets video support. It's currently really only used in qemu but I don&

I think most people will agree that ui is the hardest part for normal desktop software. Not getting any kind of ui going, but good ui. Consistency, how to group things, what goes where. If your app needs two inputs and a button then this wo

Sure if it's indirect I agree it will get messy fast with a dozen functions suddenly needing to handle an additional parameter, but unrelated to that... I'd really like to know who needs recursion for this that's deeper than

You also never know what's in the original firmware, so why trust it more than the update, security-wise?

I don't remember when I tried it for the first time, but I did like it much better than the new opera. At least they were adding new features much faster. It was still different enough and lacking (to me) important features from the ol

In the long run most likely yes :( The door is closing slowly. Great timing with the whole manifest v3 switchover...

Well, today mostly yes. But at the same time, I've been an Opera user (if not fanboy) for a good decade, until they ditched their own engine and basically started from scratch with chrome as a base. It lost 99% of its features overnigh

And it will catch on. Everyone here knows LLMs are not a search engine, yet the average Joe treats chatgpt et al like it is. Just a few days ago I was talking to a relative (70yo) and we were arguing about whether the pool at a bathhouse in

Because why would you think this is of any relevance? You're making some estimate and go like "welp I guess that's good enough" and assume that there must be a proper mathematical approach to this.

360 emulation was already quite good a year ago, now there's even an experimental fork of xenon that does recompilation for even more performance.

I also found it very weird back then.

That's for random "I know asm so it must be faster". If you know it really well, have already optimized everything on an algorithmic level and have code that can benefit from simd, 10x is real.

Also because ticking boxes. You just provide an app that fulfills all the silly security requirements for banking apps and then if something goes wrong, the customer has the burden of proving it's the banks fault. I've had my bank

I once had a dell laptop that after about three years started complaining on power up that I wouldn't be using a genuine dell PSU and should switch to one. I ignored it at first because you could just hit enter and carry on, but after

If we're making compromises anyways we could just do text mode right away and move as much as possible to the final stage. NT managed to do so just fine until Vista, including the home-user targeting XP.
