Mesa is usually pretty quick to update, it's just that stable distros won't update mesa all that quickly. I assume most of them have some way to install a newer mesa from a community repo or something.
This is from last month, but I haven't seen any discussion of it. Seems like Forgejo is now a hard fork of Gitea, instead of being a soft fork like it was over the previous year....
Docker is lighter and easier to manage than a VM. I run a collection of services as docker compose services inside a NixOS host VM. It’s easy to start, stop, monitor, update etc. even from a different computer (via ssh or docker contexts). It’s great.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen a lot of content that’s ripping on Arch Linux, from pictures of stickers being removed from laptops, to comments about it having a lot of bloat or frustrating package management. Was there a change to their policies, strategies, or distro that has turned this once proud vessel into a...
DACs have been very good and very cheap for years now. A $10 Apple USB dongle contains an extremely good DAC. At the consumer level, you’re paying for pretty much everything except sound quality now.
You do need an amp for some headphones. They can even be used to deliver low power at a low noise floor for high sensitivity earbuds, but this isn’t always necessary.
The difference is literally mathematically 0 unless you think your hearing exceeds 22kHz instead of the typical ~18 or widely-regarded maximum of 20kHz
Bit depth is not the same as bitrate, there is no difference in the signals that can be reproduced within the range of human hearing between a sample rate of 44kHz and 96kHz
My comment was supposed to be in reply to some lunatic spouting word salad, not a top level comment. But thanks for your effort anyway.
I consider myself an audiophile but it doesn’t require you to be uninformed, susceptible to snake oil, or judgmental. I collect FLACs and understand that there’s no audible difference between a lossless copy and a good 320kbps cbr / v0 mp3 transcode, etc.
I am an audiophile, not an idiot. They don’t. The slim possibility of reproducing signals past 20kHz causing audible changes to the signal within audible range may technically exist, but you will never ever demonstrate the ability to detect a difference in a double blind test.
The only reason to use a higher sample rate than 44.1kHz is to avoid resampling audio which is already in a different sample rate, e.g. CDs which are usually 48kHz or potentially “hi-fi” sources that may be 96kHz or higher. Resampling can theoretically introduce audible artifacts although a modern CPU using a modern resampling algorithm can very easily perform transparent resampling in real-time.
What platforms would you like your app to run on? Then, which UI framework supporting those platforms would you like to use? Then, look at the framework’s documentation to find a sample starter project that you can run as an app, and modify it from there
All cloud providers will support budget notifications. That doesn’t do much good when you shoot past the budget in a short timespan. I set a Google cloud budget of $20/month and enabled a Tensorboard instance, which had no observable indication that it cost anything except the base cost of the VM, and got notified that I was $280 over budget the next day. Apparently there was an upfront $300/month/user fee for Tensorboard. (Several months later they changed the pricing model to $10 GiB/month with no user fee.)
Not really a substantial opinion, but I have little hope that replacing a fairly well established Rust codebase with a brand new Java one will do much in terms of increasing contribution.
If you have a lot of semantic breakpoints (like the end of a concept) that don’t line up with syntactic breakpoints (like the end of a method or expression body) your code probably needs to be refactored. If you don’t, then automatic code formatting is probably all you need.
C# tells you the call site/method name and line number right at the top. It’s only really annoying when you have aggregate exceptions, which sometimes occur because someone async’d wrong

Not that YAML’s structure is too complicated, but its syntax is too flexible. All the shit about being whitespace sensitive yet with whitespace errors leading to a syntactically valid YAML document. TOML’s syntax is rigid which makes it unsuitable for expressing complex nested data structures, which is good because that’s not what you should use TOML for. Ultimately the dependence on a highly flexible baseline language like YAML to create complex DSLs is a failure on the developers’ part, and the entire configuration system should be reworked.
On the one side I really like c and c++ because they’re fun and have great performance; they don’t feel like your fighting the language and let me feel sort of creative in the way I do things(compared with something like Rust or Swift)....
