Just today I've used this in a Windows 11 QEMU VM to fix rekordbox (it failed to start about 4 out of 5 tries). rekordbox uses Unity with OpenGL for the UI and I guess the devs never tested it on a computer without GPU acceleration. Am

I wonder how they deal with multi-threading. Forking a multi-threaded process is very error-prone (e.g. allocator locks can remain orphaned).

Proton uses esync or fsync which (from what I've read) are on-par with ntsync. However, esync and fsync can't be merged into upstream wine because they can't properly emulate some quirks of NT sync objects, hence the ntsync d

A big issue with IPC is thread scheduling. Thread B needs to get scheduled to see the request from thread A and thread A needs to get scheduled to see the response from thread B. I think there are WIP solutions to deal with this [1] this bu

I found squashfs to be a great archive format. It preserves Linux file ownership and permissions, you can extract individual files without parsing the entire archive like tar and it's mountable. It's also openable in 7zip. I wonde

No, the entire point of those vulkan extensions is to use the hardware-accelerated video processing units. You can use computer shaders for software decoding on the GPU, there is no need for special extensions to do that. AMD and Intel have

Isn't inverse transform sampling even faster than ziggurat? Most languages have an approximate erf^-1 implementation, everything is straight forward from there. I needed to generate random numbers from a truncated normal distribution a

I think the people who say the Pixel 8 slow are gamers. Even a cheap phone is fast enough for the vast majority of people unless they play 3D games on it.

Saving a few ms during decompression actually matters when the game streams data from the disk in real time. People also hate loading screens and objects popping-in because the streaming pipeline is slow.

Well yes, because on Linux you use mmap to reserve virtual memory. I wouldn't say that tooling is not aware of all that. For example, top and htop display virtual memory and resident memory and shared memory. You need to look at reside

That's most likely reserved virtual memory. It's not committed, meaning it's not backed by physical memory.

I don't really get the point of the article. You can opt out of the privacy sandbox and block interests you don't want apps to see. The biggest change seems to be that chrome cand feed data into this system through an Android API,

Their "negative latency" thing really didn't sound practical at all for games where latency matters.

Generating an UV map from an untextured mesh. The UV map is stored in vertices as texture coordinates, and together with the topology of the mesh it defines how the texture (images) gets mapped to the mesh. A good UV maps preserve surface a
