Haha. People have already said what is Vulkan in practice - it's very convoluted low-level API, in which you have to write pretty complicated 200+LoC just to have simplest stuff running. Also doing compute on NVIDIA in Vulkan is fun if

That's what I thought of too. Given their task formulation (they basically said - "check these binaries with these tools at your disposal" - and that's it!) their results are already super impressive. With a proper guida

Thanks, this is a very interesting topic. What I personally would like to see is some kind of quantization of how the biases that the author talks about (such as insufficient seed volume of a PRNG) affects computed p-values. Specifically, w

I had been Windows user since Windows3.1. More than 3 decades straight. After a few years of working with Linux, installed Debian on home PC about a year ago and couldn't be more happier since then.

Is it a normal mic, or bluetooth? I think, Trixie have some regressions in bluetooth stack of Cinnamon - it worked nicely in Bookworm, but I had weird issues on Trixie that just disappeared once I switched to KDE (didn't try Gnome).

My dog (Briard) isn't just addicted to play fetch with balls.. Since he knows that when another dog enters the dog park, the ball will be removed/hidden from him (to prevent the dogs clashing trying to get the ball), he becomes ho

Your don't need noexcept on it, complier sees it on its own without a potential noexcept overhead... Other than that - agree.

In most cases (and this was the case of Mozilla I referred to) it's only a matter of compiling code that already have all support necessary. They are using some upstream component that works perfectly fine on my architecture. They just

Ah, com'on, spare me from these strawman arguments. Good enought is good enough. If F-Droid wasn't worried about that, you definitely have no reasons to do that for them. "A tiny group is holding back everyone" is anothe

This is super annoying how SW vendors forcefully deprecate good enough hardware. Genuinely hate that, as Mozilla has deprived me from Firefox's translation feature because of that.

It's not clear how the author controlled for HW caching. Without this, the results are, unfortunately, meaningless, even though some good work has been gone

Please don't pretend you don't understand that risks of Google/Apple maybe even Samsung getting the information is just "a tiny bit different".

TBH, such a low price for so many working (!) features is an amazing achievement if not subsidized! What bothers me here, however, is...a provenance. Let me guess, it asks from your smartphone access to your location, contacts, calendar, SM

I absolutely love 3 dimensional nature of the game and how carefully many images are chosen to allow for a precise spacetime localization with a bit of a research. Super enjoyable experience in startling contrast with geogessr, which I don&

I don't want to rant, but I don't a tiny bit like the UI they have made for tab groups, and I won't use it. They should have just paid lavishly to the developer of Simple Tab Groups, and incorporate that extension into the ma

That's likely because it offloads most of the job to GPU. On a potato it's also very choppy, but CPU fans stays quiet indeed. Gate's notes seems to put the most strain on CPU instead.

Hhhmmm, interesting, thanks for reply! That would be fairly interesting to look at the actual code you've used, and have a look at the codegen. By a chance, is it viable for you to open-source it? I'd guess it should bear lots of

> Boost Hana (which still has some runtime overhead compared to the same logic with hardcoded values) Can you elaborate on that? What was your use-case for which this was true?

While I don't disagree with that, in my experience all Windows instability on WinNT family (and I tightly worked with all end user versions of Win from 16 bit W3.11 to the recent Win11 with a very few exceptions) are caused by faulty h

Overall, the whole logic "A is written in X, but B is written in Y, hence it is faster" is so deeply flawed, that one has to consider a possibility that the author doesn't understand the mere basics of computer program engine

Disproportionally more if you divide it on the user base to get the cost of targeting 1 user when you want them all (and most of evildoers want that exactly).

[emotions redacted] Long ago there was XPrivacy project for Android that allowed to granularly set permissions for each app & system service and ensure they won't get the real private data. It's no longer alive these days, I g

The problem with these weaknesses is that they are different in each human being. For me listening an mp3 is like a sanding an ear, while some don't even hear the difference between it and a live performance.
