That's cool. I didn't know that (I've never used one before.) Maybe it would make more sense to do the original GBA then. The SP frontlight has a bit of a blueish tinge to it.

Yeah, writing homebrew to get the GBA screen to display whatever a screen displays under a colourimeter, and getting that to work with the actual colourimeter might not be so easy. I think getting a device profile for the frontlit SP would

by rossy 7y ago
I've always wondered if you could just stick a colourimeter on a GBA SP and generate an ICC profile for it, then use that profile to adapt the colours to your display. It probably wouldn't be that easy, but there are colour manage

What's normal shouldn't really matter. If anything, the "normal" way of receving Android updates from your manufacturer is kind of bad. I bet if laptops followed the same model, you'd see exactly the same things, li

You don't download Windows updates from your laptop manufacturer either (unless you have a Surface.) Comparing LineageOS with the custom ROMs on XDA really misrepresents their professionalism. LineageOS development does not take place

Right, that makes sense. I didn't know they removed QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native in Qt5. I'm of the same opinion as you, but I can see why it would be a problem for some. (For some reason we still had to use Solaris X terminals in my

Eh? X11 is probably Qt's best target, and it's one of the most popular toolkits for building X11 applications. What made you think it wasn't efficient?

For what it's worth, it's not just Microsoft who care. You're not allowed[1] to contribute to Wine if you've ever seen the leaked Windows source code. I think it's weird that they consider your mind to be "tain

How exactly are you supposed to refactor the last example to make it more readable? You could extract parts of it into separate methods, but I think splitting nine lines of code into methods of four or so lines would increase cognitive load

It's not just intentional data misuse that you have to watch out for. There's also accidental data misuse and data theft. Users are safest when they aren't being tracked at all. As privacy advocates, I think Mozilla should ta

It would be great to have native support in CSS for aligning text and block elements to a baseline grid (without having to fudge it with margins and padding.) I think the latest draft spec for this is CSS Line Grid[1], and it's severel

Not if you want the columns to stretch to fill the remaining space, and you also want the number of columns to be dynamic. > Also, I think that tutorials for things like flexbox or grid should include fallbacks for older browsers. Well

I don't know if they're good. WriteFile and CreateDirectory are fine, but when I think of the Windows API, I think of much longer function names. I had to use ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorA() once (and yeah,

For what it's worth, mpv lets you choose which style of seeking you want with the seekbarkeyframes OSC option. Leave it on (the default) and mpv will seek to the nearest keyframe when you click on the seekbar. Switch it off, and mpv wi

Doesn't a transflective LCD have a backlight? The media/FAQ page says pretty clearly that the device has a re flective LCD with no backlight, same as the GBA, which the parent comment was referring to.

Well, LineageOS itself doesn't use microG, because the LineageOS developers seem as creeped out by signature spoofing as you. Stock LineageOS just goes without those Google services, so programs that need them won't work. microG m

I had a visceral reaction to that sentence too, but read the rest of the paragraph. It's not wrong in the way the author meant it. The author is saying that OpenGL is like JavaScript because it's high level, it's open and sup

Take another look at SPIRV-Cross. It's a C++ library that can convert SPIR-V to HLSL, MSL or legacy GLSL/ESSL. I'm not too familiar with Rust or gfx, but it seems like the dx11, dx12, metal and gl backends reference the spirv

To be fair, HTML imports is deprecated and won't be standardised. The recommended way to package web components now is with ES modules, and they can be bundled (with eg. Rollup or Webpack.)

That's a poor analogy. It's an understandable mistake to make if you're not familiar with emulator development, but (most) emulators do not rely on stolen source code or other stolen proprietary secrets. They reverse engineer

File and folder names can't be longer than 255 UTF-8 code units in Linux, which means they can contain 255 US-ASCII characters, but only 127 Cyrillic characters, 85 Chinese characters, or 63 emoji. In Windows it's different, becau

That extract function seems redundant. GNU tar already auto-detects the compression format of the archive, so `tar xvf archive.tar.xz` will work as expected (the J flag is not needed.) bsdtar does the same, and it supports formats other tha
