Yep, someone needs to do the same workarounds Windows drivers do but on Linux and the translation layer is a good spot for them, look at https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/blob/938d7... for example
Is this written by a real person though?
My Windows 11 installation broke down after one of the updates. Now I get "Please reinstall Windows" warning in Windows Update settings. And some error hex code which doesn't really help. I've installed like 5 different…
What about new features? There are many small features that can't be used via older APIs and bigger ones like accelerated ray tracing.
The kernel might be a polished gem but win32 API? Practical is a term I'd use as win32 has managed to survive to this day but that came with a boatload of hacks and problems. It's ugly.
I write C++ daily and I really can't take seriously arguments how C++ is safe if you know what you're doing like come on. Any sufficiently large and complex codebases tend to have bugs and footguns and using tools like…
I've had similar experiences when working on non-web tech. There are parts in the codebase I'd love some help such as overly complex C++ templates and it almost never works out. Sometimes I get useful pointers (no pun…
I have the same issue. I've disabled "Find My" feature and uninstalled everything that kept showing up as battery draining apps. My iPad loses about 20-25% of battery every night and there is nothing showing up in…
That's scary. I have an old Steam account with tons of games and already got banned once due to a bug in anti-cheat software and for a while my whole account was marked with a cheater tag. The bug was so widespread that…
Spotlight straight up broke on both of my Macs after Sequoia. It can't even find exact matches in many directories marked for indexing and re-indexing did nothing. Just searching for apps under Applications doesn't seem…
This work is related to recently found signing weakness and supposedly fake key with resign works with unpatched CPUs.
Some content mills seem to display a date but automatically update it periodically. Sometimes you can outright see it can't be correct since the information is woefully out of date or you can check from Internet Archive…
It's useful to have AAA tier sample game level assets available for engine development or for apps like Blender.
I guess WPA3 and bluetooth are not "core systems" either.
Gitea + Drone has been a great combination. I have a somewhat complex project with CI pipelines running on x86/arm64 Linux and x86 Windows and from time to time considered switching to Forgejo + actions or Forgejo +…
Debian at least offers old ISOs: https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/
Exceptional events yes like when the help output is printed due to incorrect usage. But when calling with --help directly it's the expected output.
Xcode is a mess in many fronts. For example my Xcode updated automatically to a version which couldn't support Ventura anymore, the OS I'm still running. I had to uninstall the app store version and manually download…
I'm getting early PulseAudio vibes with PipeWire though. BT audio devices stuttering and sometimes losing audio completely regardless of output devices unless I restart the daemon. I guess it stabilizes again during…
Luarocks works quite well if the lib is pure Lua. For native libs it's a wild west and success depends a lot on your environment. Sometimes the lib is being built with -Werror and fails if you're using more recent…
Classic. Switch from Intel to M1 felt more like an upgrade from NetBurst laptop to Core series for me, a great step forward but not really groundbreaking imho.
So what's the allocation pattern like (regarding malloc/free)? Last time I used scripting language in constrained environments it was Duktape and one of the issues was wildly varying allocations ranging from few bytes…
Yeah the old Qt? client was great & snappy. It took quite some time to get basic features like cmd-f for the new client and it still does not support searching playlist by typing directly. Or at least didn't support…
I've had issues with LuaRocks on pretty much all platforms. Some libs work fine (at least those without native deps) but the Luarocks native builds mostly lean on handcrafted makefiles. They usually come with hardcoded…
No Linux support? Guess I'll have to keep using Solaris with my A4000!
