Reminds me of VirGL [1] and Venus [2], which I think do something similar for OpenGL and Vulkan. I use this with Baguette/Crostini on ChromeOS to get some light gaming done. Works …

Much more resource heavy. I tried NixOS and Bazzite (and other spins purporting to be lighteweight) and the difference on a 2010-era mid-range laptop was noticeable in terms of slu…

I'm curious. Do you have more information?

Yea, both Westpark itself and the open-air cinema inside the park are stellar. It surprises me that no-one has mentioned Munich's premier city park though: the English Garden (Engl…

I have the same question. It seems like a decent amount of posters here don't require (non-standard) interactivity. Plain HTML+CSS (perhaps via static site generators) would work. …

> If it’s important they will leave a message and I’ll get back to them. I can't really do that. For some things (urgent and important), loved ones need to be able to reach me. But…

Respect. I hope to find the strength to be more like that. Also to give a better example to others. I notice making the screen go grayscale (can configure volume up+down to do this…

I lot of people echoing the same sentiment. It made me recall a quote from early 2026 that made waves in a few programming communities ( https://x.com/ThePrimeagen/status/202677119…

Not sure about RA, but for RA2 see https://chronodivide.com/

I think Neovim itself has been stabilizing quite a bit in terms of upgrade breakage. A common reason for breakage is/was: - Neovim changes some API (deprecating, ...). - User upgra…

I clicked around in the kernel section and the other commenters highlighting the simplicity weren't lying. It's beautiful in its simplicity. Seeing the screenshots I was kind of ex…

Spot on. Heaven forbid it turns into a C++ (I'm not a Rust practitioner but from the outside it seems to accrete features pretty quickly as well). The ease of grokking Go (both rea…

I have a feeling that after enough slop has entered the system, the AI will also have difficulty debugging/understanding it. My questions are: will the AI get to be above our level…

Thanks for the notes. Different as/link is definitely a way for incompatibilities to creep in.

I remember when we still had tcc in Neovim CI. I think it got removed eventually for being too much of a burden to maintain. How are slimcc/kefir different/easier to drop in?

This reminds me of a great adventure. A long time ago I was travelling through Brazil, in the Amazonas state. I was in Porto Velho and needed to get to Manaus quickly to catch a fl…

I tried btrfs on three different occasions. Three times it managed to corrupt itself. I'll admit I was too enthousiastic the first time, trying it less than a year after it appeare…

What were your (main) problems with Kodi? AFAIK it is written in C++ with Python plugins. Electron would be (on the face) a downgrade yes. But how is a Lua app much smoother? (My p…

Why does one need the second (old-ish) Fritz!Box? Doesn't the first one already have DECT? Also, does this not require a landline number?

Any LLM-based code review tooling I've tried has been lackluster (most comments not too helpful). Prose review is usually better. > So we run dozens of parallel CLI agents that can…

For Go, there is https://pkg.go.dev/gvisor.dev/gvisor/tools/checklocks . There are some missing things from C++ Thread Safety annotations, but those could be added.
