   Does any one know if there's a North American equivalent?

   I happened to read the same information but reported by another publisher [1]. In that article, it points out that the energy density is only 60% of a traditional lithium-ion cell, but that disadvantage is offset by not having to use much c

   Great work! Does any know if this new frontend will improve rust compilation time?

   Saved in my note, much appreciated. Yes, I agree building a UI library from scratch is hard and probably not worthy doing (too many people tried and gave up in the middle; probably better to channel that enthusiasm on improving existing one

   I see. Thank you for the detailed information. I will read the linked content. I don't know if this is a good place to ask. But I was interested in wgpu because of the interest in building a cross-platform non-web UI library. I read a

   I haven't. I didn't realize the move. Looks like I need to find some new learning material. BTW, do you know any up-to-date tutorials?

   Could someone correct me? I am pretty new to graphics programing but I was learning wgpu (the Rust binding of WebGPU) the other day. I was under the impression that the shader language is GLSL (version 450) and it is then converted into SPI

   I just want to mention, if you feel there's some excessive padding and it's a waste of space (especially vertically), I suggest you take a look at a compact theme at GNOME Look. Currently, not all themes work properly with GTK 4,

   Too late to the party, but just want to mention Enlightenment DE (a nice DE also worth trying) since you mentioned EFL.

    It's great that the author promotes both Nim and GTK4, which, in my opinion, are both great opensource projects. But I think the author should make it clear that he disabled text anti-aliasing for some reason. A lot of people in this t

    I think this is a very good idea but it may depend on what you are doing. For example, if you are using Nim to talk to some C library, I believe you won't be able to compile the C part into JS for debugging (even if you are not debuggi

    Does anyone know what kind of UI library Winamp uses? I mean, if it's opensource, we can probably use it to build a lot more fun UIs since it's so "skinable".

    Not a kernel expert, but I am curious, couldn't we load that AMD driver conditionally?

    I had the same issue with YouTube ads on mobile. There's an open source YouTube app called Vanced (yes, with out "Ad") which runs exactly like the official YouTube app but you have the choice to turn off ads.

    Would this basically be APU but with an ARM core?

    I believe the built-in Firefox PDF reader does exactly this.

    Linux is not supported.

    Thank you for the link. It was a great reading. But I just want to point out that Blender2D is a software renderer.

    Like you said: people in PL research. They specifically work on researching programming languages. But that is just a tiny fraction of what academic world has.

    Would having a decentralized repository be a good idea (one that is not subject to this kind of corporate/political issue)?

    This is a docker image of the WeChat Windows client running on Wine. I think it would be reasonable for the author to at least put some credit to the Wine projet in his project page. Instead, I have to check the Dockerfile to see how it wor

    I used CK's free filing this year and already got the returns back. I was happy that there's finally a good free option I can use but now I hear this, I am kind of sad.

    Would you elaborate on the size of QT? I searched and found this link ([1]) that suggests when done right, the QT part is about 20MB. I am asking this because sometimes people have different idea on what is accounted for being big. [1]: ht

    Just out of curiosity, can anyone from China verify if it works? (for now) Edit: my concern is that the engineers at GFW might quickly upgrade their system to target it.

    Yes, and even the "why downvote" comment got yet another downvote.
