I literally have no idea what forgejo is, I do not think most people have heard of it. Gitlab's reported growth numbers are down year-over-year. Meanwhile GitHub reached its user growth target of 100M developers an entire year ahead of

What is the next big thing after Microsoft bought GitHub, by that logic? ..or are we all in this thread just not talking about GitHub, it's a necessary evil, etc.?

The roadmap I linked above. The WASI folks have done a poor job at communicating, no doubt. Just for you I did some googling: see here[0] for the current status of WASI threads overall, or here[1] and here[2] for what they are up to with WA

According to their roadmap, WASI preview 2 will have threads and sockets. So, in light of that, what is the reason for diverging from WASI and creating WASIX?

The parent poster (syrusakbary) is the CEO of Wasmer and trying to push WASIX, a quasi-proprietary 'open standard' while it seems the rest of the WASM ecosystem is in fact moving to WASI preview 2 [0] [0] https://news.y

Might not be all that crazy; people are often sentenced by courts to perform community service - perhaps related? There's also apparently a volunteer -> actual employment process for national park service.

I think you're missing a good amount of nuance here minified JS can be turned into reasonable JS, yes, but you're probably not going to get TypeScript code back, so the same sort of challenge exists there. Assembly -> high-leve

It's worth noting that the Chrome team maintains pure software rendering implementations of both GLES and Vulkan, as well - so in the worst case Chrome could fallback to 100% software rendering. IMO that's only really necessary if

If I played the old one and enjoyed it, what's the pitch for the new one? e.g. why is it better? On the surface it kinda just looks like the previous one, but I haven't dug into it

WASM runtimes miss out on a _lot_ of optimizations that a battle-tested C compiler will perform, and sometimes requires machine emulation (e.g. Go compiled to WASM results in a virtual machine/emulation layer to run Go code.) It can wo

It's a solved problem, and it's called trademark law / a wordmark.

Distant shore was fantastic, I remember playing it a ton when I was younger and got an iPod touch for the first time. I've been thinking about that concept of game and how it could be integrated into other games

Now that I think about it, they could implement timeline skipping support on the server. Select a time, the server alters your personal livestream and can still inject ads at any moment

by slimsag 3y ago
How will AI help you? Make the screen blank for 30s while waiting for ad to end?
167.
by slimsag 3y ago
Another possible endgame is all YouTube videos are livestreams and you cannot skip on the timeline, with ads inserted directly into the stream. In that world, the best an adblocker would be able to do is show a blank screen for 30s while it

They should just call their devices 'game consoles' instead of computers, then nobody would bat an eye!

Didn't they also shut down GSuite Hangouts for a while, before eventually bringing it back?

Yup - why would I pay for it when I'd prefer not using it at all and getting that time back? They're helping me with that.

That's exactly how LSP is designed. The editor e.g. requests 'the user is hovering over code <here>, what should I show?' and the server responds with some Markdown text. Or 'the user wants to navigate to the thing

JavaScript uses UTF-16 for everything is why, and LSP is a TypeScript-first protocol.

Apple -> MoltenVK is an emulation layer and doesn't give you as much control as using Metal directly. Nintendo and Sony prefer their own APIs, NVN and LibGNM, and AIUI Vulkan is a second-class API on those platforms which does not o

Apple.. and Nintendo.. and Sony.. Xbox.. And I guess Microsoft/AMD/Nvidia if you want the latest feature set on Windows the same year it comes out.. I'm fine with passing blame to all those parties for not getting it together

It's worth noting that both Dawn and wgpu (the two primary WebGPU implementations currently) disagree on key parts of that API - particularly around instance creation, and so they are not ABI compatible today. If you're building a

by slimsag 3y ago
In some cases wgpu has extensions that fundamentally change usage (e.g. bindless) which aren't supported in browsers at all, right? i.e. wgpu natively and WebGPU in a browser are really just two different topics entirely

The latest hints from Vulkan and D3D12 developments (VK_EXT_Shader_object[0], D3D12 Work Graphs[1]) suggest there might be an industry move away from pipelines and towards alternative solutions. [0] https://twitter.com/slims
