Am I the only one having some concerns about a technology which organisation is going too widely high profit company dependent?

Even ten years ago many of there hardware was garbage.

Is the culture of Rust/Cargo getting as bad as JS/NPM these days

Thanks for saying it.

When I see some rust projects, they looks like they where managed by JS devs (“1 need, 1 package”) that want to do compiled language… The amount of dependencies can be utterly insane.

For me, it mostly means rust have a strong package system, not that rust have good devs.

I’m doing Python at work and you have to use a many pypi package for financial reasons (yet, I restrict myself as much as possible), but seeing this mindset is scope specific open source project is crazy.

All of this does not means all rust (or JS) devs are bad, its just a consequence of bringing code to the masses: Its a good thing in many way. Lets acknowledge this and not being impressed by badly engineered dependency choices.

Yes, bad use of API shouldn’t be use as reference, but it also increases Valheim (which does not seems to be the best API us ever):

I can confirm, this also brings Valheim from 45 to 70-80 FPS on my machine (4090M, 7945HX) at 1080p Ultra Settings.

Commit here.

They simply added this line op.max_unroll_iterations = 32;, related to NIR shader compilation. Passed to NIR here.

(I stop here, lost track and interest in further investigation)

All we need is 8K AI scaled Doom 1993 at 120 fps on ourprinter LCD screen.

GPL is basically a contract that code will always be shared if distributed. This licence ensure any distributed library will give your code (legal standpoint).

MIT is more a use as you want licence. Devs can take the code, build and distribute binaries without restrictions.

They are not made for the same reasons. If you want to write Libre software, GPL is your friend.

As other says, rust build statically by default, having a MIT ecosystem help to spread the langage. Yet, this also mean someone can see its code used in a commercial product without sharing back, credits or counterpart.

Different uses.

I was a fan of STALKER. What is Anomaly?

Sucks less than, tradeoff, compromise, words I would love to hear more in my development days.

I know many don’t like it, but Supreme Commander 2 is very fun 1V1. It’s a good mix between build engine and classical RTS.

Just don’t play the campaign, its a disaster.

This and CC Generals are the best non-Blizzard RTS to date, IMHO.

Generals is hard to run on Linux, but DoW runs flawlessly.

Haha, a PA fellow here!

PA is very cool when you find players matching your skills. I have good memories of 4V4 games, when both teams synchronise to puts players with the same level at the same starting location so everyone have fun.

It does not have that much soul, IMHO, and performance problems when games stands too long on multiplanetary systems.

Of course they do, but their are not big in number and market share. Maybe « Almost all world wide deployed critical infrastructures runs on Linux » is a better statement.

The other thing is companies care about CVEs as they use Linux to run their critical infrastructures.

From here:

In January 2022, the code formatter Black saw its first non-beta release and published a new stability policy.

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer.

That was my question. :)

That’s some impressive specs for the case.

Testing goes stabler and stabler with time. Then testing move to release and the previous untesting (sid) move to testing. It’s a that moment that you can have surprise. This is the moment where I often wait one month or two, apply the updates and check my os is working as before, meaning running my day to day applications and game and see if things work. The only problem I had once was shader cache. I removed few things in .cache and I was good.

I don’t use Sid, but testing, it’s working almost flawlessly. Each release (once every 2 years, I guess), I take few hours to check everything work; remove shader cache, etc.

My setup, right now (dirty, for authenticity) :

I play a lot, we just played Grounded with friend yesterday.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I’m totally out of the loop. I know Linus, but can anyone summarize what is the problem with billet labs?
