GPUs work on vectors and matrices very often, that's what they are good at, so it makes a lot of sense that they can operate with SIMD I think!

Its baffling to me that people think the brain is somehow "outside" of the universe and somehow "magic" and not tied down by physics just like any other matter is. I don't understa…

My cgit instance gets hammered so hard that my CPU use is raised to 100% and the entire server grinds to a halt. I have to set a cgroups CPUQuota limit with systemd to make the ser…

Having user processes killed upon log out seems pretty reasonable to me, and its a configurable option if you don't like it. I don't get the fuss here. I think it's just popular to…

A little bit offtopic, but I spend 12 USD a month for a 1 high performance core, 2GB ram, 50GB NVME SSD VPS, and slap nginx and cgit config on there, and host my own git repos. I r…

That's fair, I did not consider that.

Apparently I'm not. Directly from andrewk himself: If you want to comment in this thread, please either have your open source zig project(s) visible on your codeberg profile, or be…

How does that make sense? SDL is extremely portable?

You can make an entire 3d game using SDL3 as well, without opengl or vulkan, using the new GPU API!

SDL3 also includes a "GPU API", that allows low level programming of the GPU, similar to vulkan, though not quite as low level.

Fwiw andrewk seems to be deleting comments that criticize this approach. Not a good look on his part.

Just people like the linux kernel, all major browsers, most of our popular webservers, etc and basically all non-trivial software projects written in C. The good news here is that …

This isn't accurate at all. The reason people don't get malware on Linux is because they install software through the package manager, via trusted and reviewed repos. And drivers a…

The doctors will prescribe methadone or suboxone instead most likely, both of which are * massively* more powerful and addictive than kratom.

I have never used kratom, and I don't plan on it. But automatically assuming anyone who isn't hellbent against it is just a junkie "defending their addiction" is pretty close minde…

At least podman does if running rootless, I assume docker supports rootless operation as well. Not sure about running rootful though. I don't really use rootful containers personal…

Yeah I definitely need driving to be more expensive. That's a great idea!

No. The "root" you get in docker is not actually root outside of the namespace the container in running in. Assuming no bugs in the kernel, it should not be able to do anything mor…

Rusts memory safety is enforced via type safety. You can enforce more than just memory safety related invariants with the same type system? I've seen many people make this claim an…

Yes, you know that because of their marketing.

You can just wipe the luks header as a nice middle ground. Luks uses an anti-forensics algorithm that requires the entire volume key being available to unlock the disk at all (it c…

I don't think you understand what these people view as "freedom". This isn't a simple difference in political beliefs, they believe that certain groups of people are basically subh…

It also supports running in freestanding setups without an OS, and quite a lot of the language's features still work. I was extremely surprised by how much functionality is packed …

Not on my machines, or most for that matter.
