  1. By the way even Windows APIs find it too difficult to encode separate args into a command-line string. You can get the arguments out of the command line string by calling CommandLineToArgv but the windows APIs provide no encoder (i. e. there is no ArgvToCommandLine). Rust got the implementation of this encoder wrong. (ya see folks, microsoft wisely did not even try)

  3. > i think developers do technically have a choice, they could go use directx and metal instead, both of which are much more cringe masochism than vulkan Direct X and Metal are tied to the Windows and Apple platform and Vulkan is the graphics API of Android and Linux. You do not have a real choice, you have a choice of what graphics vendors provide you. I cannot write my own OpenGL implementation or an entirely different API because GPUs are closed, undocumneted hardware, so there is no big competition in terms of graphics APIs. Yes you can layer stuff on top of other APIS (with the associated drawbacks) like Vulkan on MacOS is, I think, but there is no level playing field for graphics API implementations. > a lot more refreshing to use than something like springboot or react These are not graphics APIs But I agree, an even better example for libraries that have no competition would be system libraries/APis (like win32 API, Android SDK, linux syscalls, libc, etc.). They will have to be used (directly or indirectly) no matter how good or bad they are.

  14. I think GNU canoeboot should be a thing. I also like that the FSF is so wonderfully stubborn in its attitudes, this is the way to suvive as an internet movement because if you compromise your ideals will be continuuosly watered down (look at something like the HandMade network which is now an average programming community instead of a software community that writes everything by themselves instead of using libraries), so I think the FSF stance on libreboot is correct, even though it is the better project for users. Since canoeboot follows the FSF Guidelines they should allow GNU Canoeboot, absolutely.

  16. No the worst way is to tie a rocket to a helium balloon, then once it reached its final height go to the space elevator and bring it up to LEO (the counterweight of the space elevator is beyond GEO), then ignite the rocket to speed it up to orbital velocity while it is falling back to earth, then use a couple of skyhooks to save propellant. Now that we got the rocket into orbit but forgot the payload we accelerate the payload using a rocketsled bolted on the back of a large aircraft and hook it onto the orbital mass driver, detach and use steam powered thrusters to attach it to the rocket we shot into space earlier. From then on we use the rockets built-in fusion explosion motor to reach the target orbit.

  31. 5:18 C programmers will instantly disagree with you No. i think using C libraries from python with pip is easier than trying to configure and build C libraries yourself. Especially if you write C on windows, where there is no system package manager, when you do not use Visual Studio, where the configure shell scripts don't run, where there is no standard location where C libraries should be installed to, where the MSVC compiler and linker live in weird directories and are not on path. Basically the only C libraries that are easy to integrate into your C project are header-only. Especially when you want to also build for weird targets e. g. WebAssembly and so on.

  34. Well, if your Hello, World program runs on top of a buggy OS then it is also crap, you need to run on bare metal to have ideal software. Also your hello world program likely relies on a compiler, assembler or interpreter (maybe a hex editor). Therefore it is not immune to compiler/...-bugs. I am curious, what kind of error does your program output if it cannot write to stdout e. g. if its output s piped to /dev/full does it write to stderr and exit with a nonzero exit code. This is a common bug in Hello World Applications. Does your program rely on libc stdio? Well, then you may have bugs/different behaviour on differebt systems. Then there is the question what ideal software really is, a Hello World App which does not offer different languages, Unicode, RTL maybe not ideal for international users. Ideal depends on the user, thd use case, and so much more that it is very hard to ever claim that a piece of software is ideal in a geberal sense.

  35. It is not possible to make C memory safe without either introducing a performance penalty, breaking existing code, requiring new syntax for lifetime and ownership annotations, or making code not interoperable with existing code. C will continue to stay unsafe for a while. lifetime/ownership a la Rust in C is worse than using Rust directly pointer metadata and generational handles have the problem with int to pointer casts and other shenanigangs GC/bounds checking has runtime overhead ASAN has runtime overhead and is not designed to be safer, its a debugging tool Maybe things will get better if the hardware supports things like tagged pointers that stor the bounds of the allocation and other things, but memory safety is not free and likely won't be. Making C memory safe without compromise is not possible in theory and practice.

Their tools are free now, but they can change their pricing dramatically or shut down their GPU servers and I would be stuck with a dysfunctional app.
    2
  41. ​ @LedoCool1 Yes and no. Rust has lifetimes, aliasing information, etc. etc., mutable XOR sharable borrowing, C++ has not and cam therefore not verify memory safety. Well you might argue that if you use smart pointers correctly, that it is safe, well then dumb pointers are safe too.

  49. Please do not politicise programming languages.

  68. "You know what is better than perfect? Sandard!" I agree that the web has a lot of advantages when it comes to the development and distribution of cross-platform software, in part because operating systems have failed as a distribution platorm (paid developer accounts, bad app signing requirements...). But I agree that with Tsoding and Jonathan Blow that the Web could be much better, it has problems because it did not start out as a distributed software platform but as a bunch of static hyperlinked documents. The design of things like CSS and JS are definitely suboptimal and their implementation and behaviour are by no means trivial to understand. This is both a problem for web developers as well as browser vendors. People will use the Web as the best standard platform until something new comes around. The question is, when will a simpler, easier to use Standard come along that has the momentum (it is hard to gain enough users!!!) and freedom and power to replace Web? Probably not in the very near future.

  70. Ran bitmap under WSL. It runs fine. The default size is 16 by 16 pixels but you can resize the canvas easily. My problem is that bitmaps saved by this program cannot be opened by other programs such as MS Paint. Bitmap itself can open the 1-bit per pixel image though.
    1
  71.  @knghtbrd  No, I didn't. I just assumed it would be in bmp format because the program is called bitmap. But you are right, it saves C source code. I think that is kind of cool. Imagine a modern image editor offering you to save the image as a C source file.Could be useful for embedding icons and such. But modern C23 has the option to #embed binary data directly, so it does not have to be lexed and parsed from text back to binary again (although I am still waiting for compiler support for #embed).
    1
  72. I also tried bitmap's C "parser", it fails for instance, when you explicitly type the length of the array, or if you do not declare the array as static, but you can save it as char alone, but not "signed char", it does accept whitespace in the array but not in the declaration, so make of that what you will.

  74. As a windows user user, when programming with C and win32 I actually had the idea of using SVG for the executable icon. Unfortunately Microsoft windows only supports raster icons. Also there is no SVG preview in file explorer (unless with additional tools). Are there some reasons regarding performance or security, or why is this not a thing? I certainly know that Haiku developed their own vector icon format for executable icons, so I think it is just laziness on MS part. How is it over on the linux side? What happens if you have an adversarial svg with a really complex <path> or millions of tiny overlapping triangles? Would be fun to try it out (and have a lagging cursor change). Also I think using TinyVG instead of SVG would have been cooler (SVG is a very complex standard with some weird edge cases and more geared toward authoring vector images instead of efficiently encoding them in the most compact form). What do you think? Anyway, I am really a fan of vector graphics. Maybe I should write a vector UI sometime which also allows sending vector commands over the network like X11 forwarding). I prefer having a light cursor on a dark background, not like Brodie does it here, I imagine it makes it faster to find, as the contrast is better.

  81. I wonder how Mojo compares to Cython. Cython is also a superset of the Python language intended to run pythonic code at C speeds. However Cython markets itself as an option for scientific computing whereas Mojo markets itself as a language otpimised for AI and ML computing. Of course Cython has been around for longer and is more mature. Mojo for instance does not even run on top of Windows yet (only WSL) and isn't ready. I really like some ideas about Mojo autotuning and Rust like ownership semantics, not found in Cython. I guess we will have to see, how compatible/performant Mojo really is and how it compares to other fast Python solutions: lpython, pyston, mypyc, jax, numba, cupy, taichi, PyPy, triton, nuitka, brython, skulpt, pythran, weld, ironpython, transcrypt, pyccel, pyjs, grumpy, uarray, shedskin, jython, compyle, codon, seq, HOPE, transonic and many more. Some of them are incompatible with CPython and therefore limited in their use e. g. Codon. Some limit themselves to only a few jitted, performance critical functions e. g. numba, some try to be fully compatible with Cpython e.g. PyPy, nuitka which only brings modest performance improvements so numerical stuff in PyPy-Python is slower than calling C libraries within CPython, and some extend the python language e.g. Cython, Mojo. The problem with the superset approach is that you are kind of writing C in Python, so why not write in C instead?

  104. That still often does not make sense. In the case where people do that they often want grapheme clusters because "characters" as in unicode codepoints don't really mean anything.

  128. Humanoid robot is not good. A real robot also need not be limited by human range of motion. Or one can save on the mechanics neck, by just putting cameras on the back of the head. Why built a robot with the constraints of the human form? It does not make sense, unless you want to impress investors with a useless teleoperated demo (where the human form would be required for teleoperation)

  142.  @sysbofh  yes it does. I can make a distro NOT for French people. A smaller audience can be achieved by excluding people or by being about something few people care about.

  143. Elementary does not forbid people from using it. It is a DEI distro for DEI people. If a non DEI person is using it, how will they stop that from happening? Right! They can't won't and don't.

  150. Question: Why are there missing icons in Kate, could Kate not just notice that it did not get an icon backand use a default icon? (in any case, if the icon is missing or the part of software implementing the spec, there could be a fallback) (but maybe this breaks somebodys workflow, where they hate icons so much the delete all of them and they actually prefer icon-less everything, so when it would fallback they would be sad)
    1
  151. Yeah, but why does an application even expect that icon themes work 100 % of the time. Could an application not notice that it is not getting an icon back, and use a fallback icon bundled with the application? The whole idea that the icon theming always works, isn't what I would consider defensive programming, especially considering that they know it is broken on Gnome, that it is an old spec and so on...

  155. Hasn't that been clear from the beginning? Constellation also wanted to return to the Moon. Humans on the moon are not really necessary, rovers are cheaper and can do most of the science anyway. Apollo was politically motivitated as a result of the cold war, so no. Also Lunar starship ain't gonna happen. Since there are international partners for Gateway we might get Gateway...

  156.  @nagualdesign  It wont land on the moon, if SpaceX cannot get the lander developed. Starship is an increadibly hard design, (full reuse requires high engine performance, getting to the moon requires cryogenic propellant transfer between multiple ship, SpaceX needs to relight a Raptor engine in Space after the propellant depot has been in orbit for several weeks if not months, they need to think of backups in case their stupid cable crane fails, they need to develop lunar Starship itself, land it on the moon to prove that it is worthy and so on... They can fail in many ways, and Starship is a bit like the Cybertruck, costly to develop, eventually scaled back to be more traditional in manufacturing, no real market (few people need 100 tons to LEO in rapid cadence), economically suboptimal (Starship can currently maybe get 40 tons to orbit (they still fly empty without mass simulators, so maybe even less) and still has problems with re-entry. Well, we'll see how it goes, maybe the chinese will be first this time...

  157. I no longer search normally because of this. I go directly to where I suspect I find something. Or I use a query that does not have seo optimized words, words that normal people use less frequently (in this case specification, standard, khronos, etc)
