Let's be honest, nobody is saying to rebuild the world from scratch. The stance for in-house built tools and software is a much more balanced act than that. One that prioritises self-reliance, and foments institutional knowledge while

This. The very reason I use KDE (I have tried tiling wm's, and they are horrible if I use my drawing tablet, which I use a LOT), then customize it in a way to minimize wasted space (taskbar on the left, take out window borders padding,

Same, and I say this having been making 3D reconstructions of a whole street. One should not underestimate the power of current 3D modelling tools, and modularity. The latter allows you to divide and conquer a scene by creating a set of mod

Agreed. But ultimately many issues arise when user agents customize these elements in very dubious ways. It's ok for the most part, but there's a reason behind reset.css files, and I wager a more nuclear approach was used here to

Eh, the never ending cycle. People just don't seem to care about the fediverse, because... I don't really know. I'm on a small fediverse instance and never had any politics or something filling up my feed, just wonderful grap

Standard colorspaces already takes this into account :) It's important in rendering to take your colorspaces seriously, from the engine driving them to the artist making the art. There are some crazy optimizations that take your percep

To get to a working raytracer, yes. But, take a game, or a movie. One needs render things very efficiently in a game, you have 33.3ms of frame budget. Today, raytracing in games either uses just 1 or 2 techniques (e.g. shadows) and calls it

It's huge. Passing data from CPU to GPU is most likely, 90% of time, the biggest bottleneck.

Furthermore, you would need to express them in text anyways for accessibility.

Mathematical notation, even when considering all its faults, won't be easy to replace. Simple math, maybe. But, for anything complex, any other symbol would require completely different ways of being expressed, if your aim is to make i

It's not a common Linux thing, all major distros ship with antialiasing configs ootb. The person just disabled it.

I wouldn't say they "support" C17. Perhaps with a big asterisk. Even with C11, they implemented _parts_ of the standard, but didn't ship some of its libs (threads come to mind). Same deal in C17. Any hopes of porting ove

Andddd... the terminal while running under the Wayland session (probably runs under XWayland) doesn't use the same keyboard layout you had set on the install or later in the GUI, defaulting to en-US.

People have been dealing with garbage word processor programs, publishing editors, and even doing documents in vector graphics editors. Imagine using an editor that just uses HTML + CSS under the hood, it's not that far from proprietar

Makes sense if so, the same happened with another media company in Portugal. Same kind of reaction. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/portugals-imp...

Honestly, I blame MSVC for a lot of lost momentum when adopting new standards, given it takes them more than 4 years implementing those features. Ofc, this isn't the case for C++11 today, but a lot of projects were started prior to 201

Other systems might not be part of a field as mature as yours, I would argue.

They need cameras for tracking your position and orientation. Also, tracking your eyes can be beneficial in many ways, i.e. enabling foveated rendering, not just for showing a blurred face on the external screen.

My parents never restricted me access, but talked with me openly about movies, games, or websites they saw me using/playing when they came to my room. I didn't take any precautions, or fear their reactions... because they were ope

I am noting a limitation. Previous claims might've led some thinking this was not the case for all.

Depends. There are FPGA that can only be programmed once, others a limited amount, and others that have no limit.

And most of those protocols can be disabled under sysctl.conf.

I've been building an app in pure C using onnxruntime, and it outperforms a comparable one done with python by a substancial amount. There are many other gains to be made. (In the end python just calls C, but it's pretty interesti

They are a latecomer to this market. Decisions like this are going to kill any hopes of success... (Just a guy who has seen all proprietary APIs in this space being left in the dust when a standard arrived)
