Zig is exciting to people that still actually like C. Is that a rationale choice? Not very often. Is it a wrong choice? Also again not very often. At least, not for anything in scope of a solo dev. The industry where it seems strongest po

std::allocator was so painful to use it was almost always easier to just reimplement the container instead (especially for trivial ones like vector). I haven't used the relatively new C++17 polymorphic_allocator, though, maybe it fixes

And those games do so in a language (C++) where allocators is not a headline feature, and is barely even supported at all in the standard library. The important part is a language where the standard library isn't special, and Rust has

The labs still have performance as a differentiator for coding usages and similar, and for other things there's still all the same reasons people switched cloud hosted stuff in the first place. AWS & friends didn't get popular

Fair, although even there I don't know if I'd call that "lots" at just 23 added or modified methods that aren't in preview

Starcraft 2 was over 6 million sales before its final expansion even came out. That seems like the obvious player base for a Starcraft 3, and it seems more than large enough for a major release.

by kllrnohj 12d ago
I don't really get why people just assume RTS means it's going to fail? Like what major RTS games have come out since Starcraft 2 (which was not a critical or commercial flop) that resulted in cementing the genre as being dead &

it doesn't seem like Windows makes it easy, but it's not really required that mirror'd displays must have the same resolution. Sure can throw fancier and more powerful hardware at it, but this is something software could rath

by kllrnohj 13d ago
why not just configure Windows to mirror the displays? That seems a lot cheaper and more flexible than pass through. And you wouldn't need to worry about matching resolutions and refresh rates

by kllrnohj 15d ago
Yes, which is why this doesn't really do much. Readers still have to primarily rely on trust for whether or not they believe the news and who is reporting it.

Well this is easy to detect and kind of intentionally so, but the broader issue is quite a bit harder. Replace "infinite loop" with some very difficult program that simply takes 30+ seconds to finish and you're back to the sa

Pixel Fold has had it for a few years, it's called "tabletop mode". Beyond just the keyboard "mini laptop" style, different apps also have special UIs for it, too. Like youtube puts playback controls on it.

> the "use it as a tiny laptop" mode... It's all things they pioneered. This feature is also standard in existing folding phones. It's a pretty obvious feature tbh.

JerryRigEverything won't tell you how easily the hinge gunks up or cruft gets stuck in places it's not supposed to be or how quickly crease marks show up and how bad they are. While Apple certainly looked at the competitors to see

do you know of any that actually exist? All I can find are active cables that go up to 15 feet which is a lot better than the 3ft of copper but still a far cry short of running to another room easily

HDMI over fiber is readily available. USB is more annoying depending on the speeds you desire, but again USB over optical exists. And then of course once it's over fiber, nearly any length desired is easily achieved

Except people aren't leaving C++ for C, if they're leaving it at all they're likely leaving it for Rust or some other memory safe language.

In the case of this article, even assembly isn't low level. It's not possible at all to write low level code for a modern superscalar CPU. So no, Mojo wouldn't be low level. It can't be.

So what should they do instead? Just give up? Assume that it's simply inevitable that Google will cancel AOSP entirely and so Graphene should hurry up and die?

Which wouldn't have actually done anything about this bug fwiw since this wasn't a memory safety issue with any C/C++ code itself

This "only" escapes the JavaScript sandbox. You still need to chain it with an escape for the process sandbox. So it's not just the boring stuff of turning a predictable crash into arbitrary execution, but also finding a se
