Servo started earlier and besides, Rust looks more promising than another C++ engine, however long it takes.

I personally wait for Servo to mature and power a decent browser. Especially with Vulkan renderer.

I noticed the video has some neat split resizing using keys. Looking around, I came up with this if anyone needs: -- Ctrl + arrows resizing splits vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-Up>', '<Cmd>resize +1&

I'd recommend fzf.lua for search, it's very cool.

How do you rename it with LSP? For now I got to setting up LSP configs and servers for a few languages but didn't get into using it yet besides getting extra syntax highlighting.

Enabling corruption seems to be the primary agenda of this court these days.

Seems like a lot below and around bring this as the main point for not using it. Which doesn't make sense to me.

Any decent distro has it. So you don't need to execute any random scripts, just install it or prepare the image with it for your OS install. That's it. I don't really get this whole defaults being a blocker for tools choice.

How hard is to install it though? That doesn't sound like a reason not to use it.

The opposite - it would be a personal problem if someone would trust the likes of Apple giving them undeserved benefit of a doubt.

by shmerl 2y ago
I wouldn't look for any excuses for someone who is as often nasty as Apple is.

by shmerl 2y ago
Apple thinks "One Ring to rule them all" will work on mindless enough. But otherwise, yeah. Those who aren't mindless wouldn't want that.

It's not about a must have. It's about a must have being tied to them. That tying is what's harming the market by preventing interoperability. It only makes sense to prevent such kind of traps. I.e. a must have can be a must

That doesn't excuse all the garbage Apple doing for the sake of their lock-in. They totally should have been blasted by anti-trust years ago for banning competing browsers on iOS. And many other things. Seems like EU finally started ge

Cost. What prevents someone from making something new to fight against an incumbent? Cost of entry most of the time. That's the mentality in the lock-in. Make switching too expensive and difficult to even bother. Possible? Yes, but har

You don't need to control the entire industry to cause anti-competitive damage. You just need to have enough leverage that your influence can't be ignored. Examples of Apple doing that is banning competing browsers on iOS and the

When it's used as a tool that makes it impossible or very costly to switch from what such tool is tied to. To give an example. If CUDA wouldn't have been tied to Nvidia hardware, developers could use CUDA on any competing hardware
892.
by shmerl 2y ago
Of course it would. And should be applied.
893.
by shmerl 2y ago
CUDA is pure lock-in, so it only makes sense for antitrust regulators to evaluate if it's causing anti-competitive damage to the market. Hint - it is. Lock-in is never good.

Mesa's implementation will get a compliance certification once it's ready. I don't see why they would have problems with that - other Vulkan drivers got compliance from Khronos once they passed needed tests. Patent FUDs are n

Interesting. Looks like it works but with poor performance. I guess I'll wait for them to finish the rest of the work to enable more parallelism first. Also, did they start using EAC? That usually works very badly in Wine unless develo

How does that stop Apple from supporting Vulkan on their system? It is pure political sabotaging. And you can't pull any excuses like "it requires effort". Apple have pools of cash to do the right thing for users and develope

> Star Citizen is another one recently moving to Vulkan, they just rolled it out as a graphics option in 3.23, and it's slated to replace DX11 once it's working well Does it work well in Wine on Linux with Vulkan renderer now

by shmerl 2y ago
Well, Asahi / Mesa developers demonstrated that they can "just support Vulkan" on Apple's hardware as the linked post explains. So Apple never had any excuse for not doing it. Their reasons for sabotaging Vulkan support
