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-…

Does embedding Janet still lean on global state?

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 reall…

Yep. And 'wget' is often alias for WebRequest in PowerShell. The amount of footguns I ran into while trying to get a simple Windows Container CI job running, oh man

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 …

2025 was the year when my fear of being replaced by an AI changed to fear of a big economic disaster caused by AI bubble

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 …

It's not as bad as the first previews but ugly nonetheless and overall accessibility nightmare. All I hope is that the design language stays contained in Apple ecosystem and does n…

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. So…

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 a…

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 chea…

Fragment shaders are perhaps over over-represented due to old WebGL style and easiness of integration, full screen quad + a shader is quite self contained setup. Compute shaders ar…

It seems to be a parody account

The more I read MR discussions regarding this the less I want to use the forked version. Not that anyone is going to ship it anyway.

The Linux audio stack is just baffling. After all these years it's still unreliable. I'm running Fedora 41 and often toggle between two audio devices, USB DAC and HDMI output. Some…

Or the display sleep menu which offers choices like 1, 2, 5, 10, 15 and 30 min timeout but no more than that unless you use external config editor.

Is there an open source project which uses CMake well and could be used as a reference for good CMake practices? I've been using CMake for years and it's definitely not the worst s…

systemd is good. Also enjoyed SMF with Solaris. Maybe the best way to manage operating system services might be something else than bunch of scripts envisioned in the 70s.

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 f…

This work is related to recently found signing weakness and supposedly fake key with resign works with unpatched CPUs.

Spotlight has been broken on both of my Macs since Sequoia. It doesn't find anything under Downloads dir even though it should be indexed. Or any non-Apple apps under Applications.…
