Games are just normal software dev dialed up to ten, though there are many problems that game developers enjoy not having to care about (and visa-versa). Attempting to make a basic 3D engine is probably a good exercise for all developers -

I mean, docker is just a ripoff of Linux namespaces with an API on top.

These are on-board communication channels. I guess you could run USB traces, but you would end up using I2C or SPI (via a USB chip) for devices that don't have built-in USB - which is many.

Many Clevo machines use NVIDIA. The current status of NVIDIA+KDE is flickering under Wayland and stuttering under X11 (source: helping a friend upgrade from Windows last weekend and subsequent search results). Avoid at all costs. I have had

You have fewer options without redundancy, no matter how ineffective the backup site is. The odds of getting many humans to collaborate on reaching a second planet is also greater than the odds of getting all humans to collaborate on savin

No fan of Elon, not by a long shot, but he's right on this one: all it takes is is one asteroid, one volcano, or one nuke party for this planet to become everyone's least favorite planet.

> you need SSE4 on x64 for popcnt This is a strong argument for moving to x86_64-v2 (or at least having an entire package ecosystem build for it) because popcnt shows up all over the place.

So far as I understand it, the asm is rarely a problem because of the way it tends to interact with data. It's metadata and demuxing: the glue.

I can understand the disagreement with your comment in general, but this is a media codec. Its time to just stop with the unsafe memory languages in this domain. While I am personally more inclined to use Rust, there is that provable langua

Must be script kiddies. You have the opportunity to deploy anything to a machine that almost certainly has a powerful GPU, and choose a key logger that exists in signature databases? Genius.

Hyprland here. My primary screen (and workspaces on it) is nearly always a single app, while the secondary has tiles - much like your ops friend. I would actually love a window manager that embeds this assumption.

Thanks, but I'm more likely to use Windows or even TempleOS over MacOS.

Unexpectedly fantastic news! My wife makes extensive use of the adobe PDF editing tools, which is has been a major blocker for getting her onto linux. What is a good replacement that works on windows and linux? Non-free is fine.

Alacritty is not a good terminal. It lacks support for several sensible protocols, such as keyboard disambiguation (guests cannot discern between e.g. ctrl+I and tab). Foot is probably a competent terminal with somewhat similar goals to A

There are a few sources showing how pointless kernel anticheats are, and CS2 - another Valve title without kernel anticheat - does not have this problem. The issue here is neglect, nothing more.

A bigger issue is education about which plastics to put in recycling (1 and 2 if you're unaware, 5 can be but generally isn't). All of our "recycling" heads to landfill for this reason.

It isn't for sale from the upstream vendor (nothing is), only "inquiries." It looks like extracting these from a Pi is the only way to get them. Strange decision, I would expect there to be some demand.

Arduino/embedded, but forego the "drivers" - interact with the registers directly. I recommend anything RP2040-based (the Pi Pico is the first-party option) because the datasheet stands completely alone in terms of quality.

Give it a go sometime. OSS contribution is rife with amazing free mentorship, you have a really high chance of getting out more than you put in. Especially with .Net.

I wish we could commit to not conflating NVIDIA with GPU. It wouldn't hurt a soul to call it "cuDF - NVIDIA DataFrame Library." To answer your question, it will probably run on the CPU.

Accidental complexity is an academic term, it means what you refer to as "complicated." Essential complexity would be what you refer to as "complexity." My comment was being precise about it. dyn is avoided because it is

I contributed System.HashCode to .Net Core. I was overzealous with inlining hints to make it go fast. jkotas popped his head into the PR and noted the 2MB of machine code per generic type parameter. The bigger problem was that I knew bett
