Well, not having Proton definitely didn't work to grow gaming on Linux. Maybe Valve can play the reverse switcheroo out of Microsoft's playbook and, once enough people are on Linux, force the developers' hand by not supportin

The problem is what will happen when Gabe Newell passes away. My GOG installers will never degrade though.

And it was treated as potentially malformed and hence the panic. That's what panic is for! When invariants are not upheld at runtime, in Cloudflare's case an abnormal amount of entries IIRC. I mean, if the error was handled what w

I see where you're coming from: animations are overused and even when they make sense they are made too slow and flashy (because otherwise how would the implementors feel like they did something if it's barely noticeable?) Animati

This is not the first time I see "secure key distribution" mentioned in HN+(GPG alternatives) context and I'm a bit puzzled. What do you mean? Web of Trust? Keyservers? A combination of both? Under what use case?

I kinda liked J but my gripe with it is that I have to learn it almost from scratch every time I try to use it. The tacit syntax is too idiosyncratic (I always forget the different types of verb trains) and I'm not entirely convinced i

If this is sarcastic you should probably add /s or someone might actually follow your "advice".

How is that worse than everything being unsafe? I've seen this argument thrown around often here in HN ( "$IMPROVEMENT is still not perfect! So let's keep the statu quo." ) and it baffles me. C is not perfect and it stil

TBH "definition" depends on the theory from which you're looking at the notes. In the eyes of the Common Practice two simultaneous notes are not chords; in rock they most definitely are; in EDM you don't even care, since

My personal theory is that (notation+terms of art) is incredibly information dense even if inscrutable to outsiders. What you wish for is more akin to coding like this: declaring a function whose name is "max" and its argume

No. I am adding new information but I think you are stuck on your initial idea. There's no work stealing. Async-await is cooperative multitasking. There is no suspending or resuming a calling thread. There is no saving register state.

You can implement an executor with threading to achieve parallelism, but it's not a fundamental characteristic of Future executors. To reiterate: an executor is just something that runs Futures to completion, and Futures are just thing
112.
by kaoD 11mo ago
Rust's async-await is executor-agnostic and runs entirely in userspace. It is just syntax-sugar for Futures as state machines, where "await points" are your states. An executor (I think this is what you meant by runtime) is n

Sorry, let me clarify, the terms are used imprecisely. Some people use "raytracing" only for the ray intersection technique, but some people (me included, in the post above) consider it an umbrella term and raymarching, path traci

Nitpick: "raymarching" is not "raytracing done in a shader" and it's not polygon-based. Raymarching is a raytracing technique that takes advantage of Signed Distance Functions to have a minimum bound on the ray&#x27
