I'm a "power" Ubuntu user, strongly anti-snap, but Ubuntu doesn't force users to use snaps. 22.04 has been very invasive by defaulting Firefox to a snap (there is still an alternative though, which is easy and well known

I've read the article, but it doesn't define what exactly a robot is. The problem is that one can mistake the term for machines with some form of autonomy, while, based on my understanding, they're "just" remotely c

It's highly unlikely that there is an economical return, because modern engines are radically different. I like this as well, so my guess is that some people grew with an interest in game development, and they still find it interesting

That's problematic unfortunately, because one may need a program that is distributed via snaps. Interestingly, snap has a service that self-heals, so that if one tried to hack it, it will overwrite the changes. That's... quite mal

VFIO does work, but it's hacky, so it's very inconvenient unless one has plenty of time and patience. For example, AMD GPUs don't support rebar (took a while to figure out), and they used to have (I don't know if it&#x27

VMWare has actually a decent "forward-based" GPU virtualization support. The performance is bad (on my system, around 25% of native), but for old games, it's enough. I'm hoping that VirtualBox 7.0 will have similar perfo

This is a separate problem from the pipe one. Anyway, if you're looking that behavior, you need to use `&&` instead of the semicolon.

Shell scripts can be thought like C++. They can be sanely managed only if one adopts a strict subset of functionalities. The page is probably oriented at situations where one needs to support any version of bash and any obscure/inadvis

I've been surprised how writing Rust becomes smooth with experience (mostly; it's still complex in some areas), however, there's more to a language than just the formal part. Rust requires designing the memory management (own

Having substantial test coverage is a different concept from TDD (which is an approach to software development). It's not clear how restriping an array is related to a test suite, also because if an API is slow to test (e.g. restriping
