android is plagged with planned obsolescence. Don't know if that's going to help.

linux started as a hobby project... I am curious to know which RISC-V design they'll go for in this SOC. M. Wren getting real hard experience on RISC-V is going only to help RP to select and audit more seriously any RISC-V design which

I wish I could buy RP2350 with the ARM cores being hard-fused disabled, "cheaper" since no ARM royalties would have to be paid. That said, I wonder how much they did improve their hazard3 design, because we all know the future is

It did not see the proof of the correctness of circular buffers? one consumer, one producer, parallel execution, 2 atomic pointers, one read pointer, one write pointer and the cycle bits.

akamai? Could they be more concerned with the various script kiddies and scanners using akamai (often linode) IPv4 ranges? Please?

Wow, I super cheat: I use syntax highlighting AND vim folds... but I code assembly with a C pre-processor for register usage naming.

It is a complex matter. But it narrows down to one thing: the number of real-life alternative compilers, which is in direct relation to this benchmark: can a small team of average devs, or an individual average dev, develop with reasonable

It is nice, but I am currently dropping all make/meson/cmake/etc based build systems for basic shell scripts where I break down the usage of the "compiler driver" in its basic steps (for instance C with CPP source f

Are your sure GTK+ or the EFL (enlightenment) or etc do not handle properly DPI based rendering?

This "new C" would be severely different than B, and way closer to C... this new C is more a "sane and explicit oriented" subset of C than anything B.

I am talking about C syntax, not absurdely grotesque ultra-complex syntax like the ones from c++, java and similar (is that true that rust syntax is not that much less worse than c++ one now?). We need a new C, fixed, leaner and less comple

by sylware 10mo ago
WRONG! Plain and simple C is, by far, one of the current _LESS WORSE_ performant alternatives which can be used, actually, from low level to large applications. C syntax is already waaaaay to rich and complex (and ISO is a bit too much push

Actually it is a massive improvement: expensive niche features are now optional, features you have to discover and handle dynamically. This helps to avoid developer/vendor lock-in by 'tons of features required'. If I am not t

by sylware 10mo ago
It is a major improvement: many real life compositor implementations, discover dynamically the features of the compositor, some will have a remote desktop expensive feature.

by sylware 10mo ago
It is optional: if you want it you will need to select a compositor which does have this expensive feature. Don't forget, wayland is fully dynamic.

What to keep an eye on is noscript/basic (x)html interoperability, namely a web site, not a web app. With a web site and not a web app, you are not dependent on the whatng cartel web engines, in other words, the door is kept opened for

I build my own distro, I build myself Xorg: I did witness his Xorg breakage all over the place. I did welcome happily the revert of all his code.

:) This is a feature of a wayland compositor: I don't want it able to do remote.

by sylware 10mo ago
It seems wayland has fractional scaling, but it is recent, but the bottom of this is high DPI handling should be handled at the GUI toolkit level. Compositor scaling is just a dirty fix for legacy GUI apps.

by sylware 10mo ago
The right way to handle high DPI is at the GUI toolkit level. Scaling in the compositor is just a dirty fix for legacy apps.

by sylware 10mo ago
Since there are many wayland compositors, wayland clients must be very conservative (don't be fancy) and most of all respect the dynamic discovery of the interfaces and features and must adjust (from core to stable interfaces). For ins

In (physical) high-tech engineering, like the blue led, it seems there is a pattern: extremely competent people are going against all their peers and the people in charge (usually the worst).
