Always use musl for static linking. As a bonus you might get an even smaller binary than a dynamically linked glibc binary.

by sprash 7y ago
If you want portable apps just make one fully staticly compiled binary. This is the worst of all worlds. No security updates for used libraries and no performance gain that comes with static linking.

This is a George Soros organization calling for more internet censorship to "protect democracy" of course under the guise of "taking on the big evil corporations". Don't fall for it.

One reason even big ol sysvinit is superior to systemd is that shell scripts are transitive knowledge. You can do almost everything with shell scripts. Learning some obscure (albeit very simple) systemd unit file format won't help you

I use void now on everything, work, home even my Raspberry PIs. Can confirm that installation is a PITA. If you want something more fancy than the standard installation like an encrypted boot disk you won't get anything running without

The problem is that confidence is rarely correlated to competence. Smart people are often in self doubt because they know what they don't know.

Indeed. I recommend weight lifting. Especially free weight exercises like squats and dead lift that are training mostly the biggest muscles have a very positive impact on confidence because they increase testosterone levels measurably. Card

Fruits are actually full of sugar. Just because they are not "refined" doesn't mean those sugars are not harmful. They are essentially the same molecules (most prominent: saccharose, fructose, glucose). Bananas are especially

I hope you are optimizing "performance" for latency which is the most important metric for a pleasant experience of them all [1]. The current WSL Terminal absolutely excels in that regard. All GPU based terminal emulators I tried

by sprash 7y ago
This shows again that JPEG is apparently some alien technology from the future. People always say that nothing good can come out of a committee. JPEG proves the opposite.

Lithium is vastly abundant and is not really the problem. If all else fails you can extract it by distilling sea water. The problem is Cobalt which is essential for working LiIon batteries and is required in equally vast quantities.

The main reason for the success of 3dfx were drivers that let you talk to bare metal hardware registers instead of dozens of GL abstraction layers. The simplicity of it all is very impressive. This is something programmers absoluteley love

Nobody cares about the RTX feature. Gamers always prefer higher framerates over improved indirect lighting which is in practice rather subtle. Envrionment mapping was the king so far for a reason. Psycovisually accurate reflections are the

It implements its own protocol ( https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol.html ) to display images. This is something different from serialized OpenGL.

It will certainly mess up multi window screen/termux arrangements. The dimensions of the current terminal can be obtained easily. However the position can not. And it will still be possible to draw over other windows.

With a serialized GPU commands the remote host does not need a GPU since everything is rendered locally. Only the machine running the terminal emulator needs one. And this would also work within screen or tmux if they don't meddle with

So far my version is just a crudely hacked together proof of concept on top of st I did as hobby. It just renders textured polygons without any shaders or more advanced stuff. Since this is my first OpenGL application ever it probably won&#

There seems to be desperate demand for graphics output in terminals. Sixels are a rather crude method dating from a time where terminals were optimized for low bandwidth serial connections and very constrained resources in the device that a

It kept out of wars because it is a direct democracy. People almost never vote in favor of war.

I never said that the US is a great example for a functioning democracy. The best example for democracy is Switzerland. It also has the highest standard of living in the world as a result.

Parliamentary democracy is a type of fake democracy that legitimizes tyranny. If people were able to vote directly Art. 17 would have never passed.

The problem here is that the backroom deal of two countries (Germany and France) now has influence over countries that are totally unrelated like e.g. Finland. This turns the EU into a tyranny where might is right. Why should Germans have a
