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.
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.
Debian at least offers old ISOs: https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/
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.
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…
You can simplify it to cmake -B build && make -C build for example
Of course reasons matter. Apple actually got some extra time when there was a fundamental flaw in XNU's task structure handling since fixing it properly required some heavy refactoring in the kernel.
What do you mean by games supporting it, I thought the idea was Steam Link acting transparently?
Yeah I agree, it's not the ideal situation but it is the real world. Simple makefiles do not work often and there are systems that can solve the problem. Not elegant, brilliantly designed tools but ones that work anyway.
Yeah, CMake and autotools solve different problems than make. I'm definitely not a fan of either one but if I need to really distribute and compile something on more than one OS there isn't much of a choice. The posted…
Loving how they list Pentium II as a minimum requirement. I still have an old netbook with Intel Atom that I use when travelling to certain parts of the world and while it is clocked at 1.6 GHz and has 2 GB of RAM many…
