Corporate users, ie: the people who actually pay for Qt, don't care. I suspect this only gets used by corporate Qt users, to make GUI clients to only...

Nice, looking forward to trying this.

Only processes running as admin can get real time threads on Windows. If you try to create a real time thread as a regular user, it will silently fail...

Absurd and highly biased conclusion, but sure.



C is the only language that properly separates the standard library from the...

Fedora + KDE + X11 is great. Fedora + Gnome + Wayland is a dumpster fire most of the time.

But you need to pay attention to whether you...

[Barnacle]

Yeah, still waiting for somebody to write an application that proves the superiority of Rust. Maybe less time trolling the internet and more time proving...

[Barnacle]

Github does this all the time. They have scripts that run in search of violations of their TOS. The scripts are insanely buggy and don't even properly...

[Barnacle]

Nope. Wayland is a poorly designed protocol that is destined for the scrap heap of computing history. The fact that Wayland developers are 0% concerned...

[Barnacle]

C++ was clearly created by people who did not properly understand the strengths and virtues of C before they tried to "improve" it. Rust was...

[Barnacle]

The solution, as you are describing it, is to pay somebody else (other than the Wayland developers) to either fork Wayland, or just come up with a new...

Ah, OpenBSD, I have to agree with Linus about those guys.

It is pretty laughable that such a highly security focused BSD distro just now...

Pipewire is probably one of the better attempts at a sound system in the long history of bad Linux sound systems. But it seems like they are never going...

[Barnacle]

In no way, does the Wayland devs refusal to fix their broken standard have anything to do with funding. Funding lets people quit their day jobs and...

Right. When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Or when you are a gamer, everything is required to run Crysis at 120FPS....

[Barnacle]

A core development team that constantly says "that's your problem, not ours, because we say it's out of scope!" is not "trying to find...

Real time is a disaster on every mainstream desktop OS, but especially on Linux. The Linux RT patches still have massive stability issues and are prone...

[Barnacle]

Or "more stable and better tested". The peak of x86 instruction sets when nearly everything got a boost was SSE3 and SSSE3, which are part...

[Barnacle]

Looks really good, will have to give Godot a try soon. Congrats to the team.

[Barnacle]

But I was. 2023 is not 2002. Back then Moore's laws was alive and well, it's not dead now, but it's on life support. Plus the engineering feat of doubling...

It is pretty wild to watch my 5950X getting smoked like that so soon. Although contemporary CPUs blew out the power budget and shoved in as much cache...
