@DavidOndrej1 fun fact: a lot of VPS providers will ban you for this, especially if you compile a lot

stop developing locally start developing on a VPS trust me

@valigo well, panther lake seems to be going that direction as well

I've been doing programming and web browsing on this laptop for 4 hours now, and the battery is still at 100%, what is this sorcery!! Linux and Windows laptops actually could never

@ZPostFacto it started for mostly json. The big highlight of this one is speed and it also supports reflection.

@aurelienb42 I suppose it you wanted to support every known file format, that library would be useful!

Parsing JSON in C++ has been a solved problem for a long time, and yet I couldnt find a library that I totally liked. So I'm throwing my hat into the ring with vjson! See the README for why I reinvented this wheel, and why you might like it. github.com/zpostfacto/vjs…

@valigo asahi is great but not on the newer models. I have a m1 mbp and they added support for pro motion (120hz RR) recently, which for me was the main missing piece.

Not counting the keyboard, this is an incredible piece of hardware. Such a shame they wasted it on macos

@ryanrhughes yeah those are beasts. Right now I'm not really leveraging the lanes, I have a single 7900xtx on this rig.

@aurelienb42 🤤 I need this in my life. I've been eyeing a 9975WX for my AI rig. Only has 1xRTX6000 today but if I toss a few more in there, I'll need more lanes to work with.

There’s something deeply satisfying about seeing a machine use every bit of compute available

@sarniva_ @ryanrhughes nah, just wrong priorities in life xD

@aurelienb42 @ryanrhughes Damn! U must be hella rich.

why is it that chrome doesn't read /usr/lib/chromium and that, as a package, I have to install my native host manifest under /etc? That doesn't make any sense at all and it pisses me off so much

@sudox7 except nobody competent will ever say its fine

this code has undefined behavior. most of you will say it's fine because it's worked for 10 years on your machine.

@neogoose_btw is C++ giving your problems ahah

In a chase for performance I forgot why I picked rust for making fff. If you write safe idiomatic rust you can really not think about races, deadlocks, and unsafe concurrency. Once you start juggling pointers everywhere segfaults are there. And if not yours, someone else's AI will find them.

@leiserfg @badlogicgames aren't those just notifications? no id is legal if it's only one way

@badlogicgames I had to implement an mcp server, and found out that anthropic sends some jsonrpc calls without id, worst part is their schemas for mcp have the field as marked as required.

@e907700898427e @0xWARP7 @MMatt14 well the enshittification is real, but what makes me lose my mind is stuff that doesn't work or turns my computer into an airplane more than something eating a bit too much memory

@aurelienb42 @0xWARP7 @MMatt14 I'm just generally noticing a trend in software nowadays where optimization isn't a big priority, in games for example which kinda makes me sad

GNOME beats KDE in ram usage using Fedora 44

@soirilab well you only need one, and in order to make macos usable you have to download one

low iq linux users don't understand how good this design is an actually functional package system doesn't need 10 billion different package managers.

@HSVSphere I think that same guy was also bragging about vibe coding his own DE not so long ago so the distro may not be the only issue

That's on you, you chose a mutable skid distro, in this case Omarchy. Use Bazzite KDE, a distro that won't explode on you. Then stop ranting about how Linux is unreliable just because you chose the ticking time bomb.

@e907700898427e @0xWARP7 @MMatt14 no direct correlation I mean. of course lack of optimization can yield to unnecessary RAM usage, it's just not the ultimate proof of it

@e907700898427e @0xWARP7 @MMatt14 you are right but there is also no correlation between high RAM usage and poorly optimized software. Modern toolkits will cache a LOT (QT/QML as an example) if they think they can. I'm just so tired of linux people looking at btop to claim whether something is "bloated" or not

@e907700898427e @0xWARP7 @MMatt14 optimized software uses RAM where it can to avoid using too much CPU :) Many programs consuming low RAM are in fact poorly optimized

@0xWARP7 @MMatt14 Optimized software

@neogoose_btw yeah of course they make change every chip generation but overall they can make a lot more optimizations as the range of supported hardware is narrower than your typical linux/windows computer

@aurelienb42 that's not true - example is aarch64 dotprod and some specific instructions that only available starting from M3 version, when inlined those doesn't require an indirect function call in a hot loop

You probably have no idea what your CPU is capable of. Here is the same x86 2 core CPU on my vps running fff-demo. One compiled with -march=native, the other one compiled with simple cargo build. Difference is 83x because Zen 3 architecture is very specific and by utilizing better instruction & order you actual cut of a giant portion of work.

@neogoose_btw to be fair since macos targets very specific hardware you probably get all these benefits if using a mac already (I mean for the stuff coming with the OS) also I will remain a proud gentoo user, no nix for me :D

@aurelienb42 yeah seems like I am slowly getting the point of nix everywhere e.g. the other thing no one compiles but the one that improves the performance dramatically is ffmpeg & libx265 when compiled with -march=native you can hit up to 4x of encoding speed out of nothing
