The year is 2026 and Linux distros still don't have a sensible OOM policy.

@datavorous_ So basically NPU is an FPGA but primitives are just computation units

Demystifying NPUs - one of the first articles on the internet! There is a distinct lack of articles on the internet to explain why we don't achieve the desired performance from NPUs, after model deployment. There are either research papers, or marketing fluff, so I try to explain the hardware underneath in a simplified way. We also discuss why block-wise quantization doesn't work as expected on NPUs.

@oerg866 tools like these also tend to be quick and dirty if you code them by hand though

Most negative reactions to this news show quite well why the internet and PC popularization were a mistake. “BUt FiX tHe cOdE” — yeah, if Windows wasn’t doing this already, the code from the scheduler, DVFS, etc. was broken and NEEDED FIXING together with the code from the shell, explorer, start menu, etc. It’s precisely one of the main benefits of 5+ GHz client CPUs, and no, it won’t make your miserable x86 battery life any more miserable by any remotely significant degree.

@tatiana_mao @y_saionji_tech TI C55x/56x are probably the last chips of this kind (doesn't have an 8/16/32 bit word size) that you can easily buy and I use that as an example for machine dependent type width feature of C every time

@nitzukai @rinocore yes. you can't really ask for something better in 2026, in an era fewer and fewer people know how a desktop operating system wished worked...

@rinocore using Windows 11 definitely is better than using 7 because of nice QoL stuff but what people miss about 7 was how much BS free it was, it was just a desktop Operating System that Worked

Windows 7's UI is lowkey too overrated. I say this as someone who personally grew up with it and used it for roughly 7 years. Sure, it's decent and definitely better than the current win11 UI, but not THAT good..at least in my opinion

在网上搜索explorer.exe的替代品,搜到一个大家都在推荐的files.community,结果用了才发现这玩意儿比Win11自带的explorer都还要更卡,右键菜单五秒才出来 UI也没有比Win11好看多少 打开一个包含有上千张照片的文件夹直接卡死,Win10和Win7自带的资源管理器都没这么差 那我换了个寂寞???

@Czaki_PL @icpolicy @bee_fumo Again, you don't need to. I've built Qt 6 programs that ran just fine on Windows 7 SP1 with no special tweaking. As for the gcc version situation - it's true you can upgrade GCC on older distro. It just doesn't magically be there. Have a good time compiling compiler

@Czaki_PL @icpolicy @bee_fumo On Windows you dont even need an old OS/SDK to make binaries work on old OS. See VC-LTL project. Makes binaries built with MSVC 2026 run on XP. Older glibc = older GCC, this also meant missing language features, which may very likely be unacceptable for many projects.

@icpolicy @bee_fumo You might compile against older linux version by using VM or docker container. On linux you do not need to buy license to run older version of OS.

@gunnmask @awwright @TheGingerBill @rovarma again, you can bring your own runtime libraries. you can't bring your own glibc. containerization just does what every windows/macos app did, but, to solve the glibc problem you even have to repack literally any binary using glibc. and you still have to build with an old glibc.

This is 100% true, but Linux devs were and are in denial about this. There’s a reason the install page for every cross platform app looks like * Download Windows installer * Download OSX package * Click here for Linux install instructions that may or may not work on your distro
gingerBill@TheGingerBill

I don't know if a lot of people have thought why this happened. To make Linux viable for the layman, Valve had to make Proton (derived from Wine) so that Win32 API became the first and only stable ABI on Linux. Why did Linux Distro devs not care about stable ABI historically?

@awwright @TheGingerBill @rovarma yes you can statically link but windows/macOS offer STABLE ABI ON DYNAMICALLY LINKED SYSTEM LIBRARY INTERFACES. on Linux, only stability you got is syscall. not even libc is stable and you can't bring your own/static link glibc with your app because it interferes with system libc

@TheGingerBill @rovarma I know you're referring to userland and I'm still not sure where "first and only stable ABI" comes from. You can fairly reliably create a statically linked executable now, it's just going to be large if it's something like a game.

Microsoft’s distinguished engineer teases that “native apps are back,” as the company plans to build 100% native apps for Windows 11. Windows 11's biggest problem isn't ads or performance, but the app experience. Apps like Netflix, WhatsApp, and even Microsoft's own Windows apps are now powered by either WebView2 or PWAs (web app technology). I don't hate web apps, but they feel slow and not truly part of the operating system. A right-click makes you feel you're browsing Edge, and have options like Inspect Element. Microsoft has confirmed it'll build 100% native apps for Windows 11, and it's also moving some OS features back to native code. This includes the Start menu, which is currently powered by React and is now moving to WinUI. The upcoming Agenda view, which was a WebView2-based component, is also moving to native code. However, the biggest challenge is that Microsoft needs to convince developers to build native apps for Windows.
