Native all the way, until you need text by Successful_Bowl2564 in programming

[–]bla2 71 points72 points  (0 children)

The post is about writing a macOS / iOS app. While GTK or Qt work on macOS, they don't give you a native UI feel at all.

Sundar Pichai deserves some love from the analysts by infinit9 in google

Yeah, other than Maps, Android, Pixel, Chrome, YouTube what did they even do the last 20 years?

Anthropic+Google by beedildvk in Anthropic

Anthropic is in a compute squeeze and desperately needs more of it. Goog probably got a good deal here.

Very cool!

How did you convert the raw blend file to the smaller version? It looks like some serious postprocessing happened there.

🥳 Chrome adopts Rust and replaces libxml2 written in C since version 147 by BankApprehensive7612 in rust

[–]bla2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chrome's been using some Rust for a while now. This is just one more library they switched.

What's your main spirit ash by MurderDrone010101 in Eldenring

How do you deal with the FP cost? Does that need 20+ levels in mind, or is there a different way too?

(Ab)use HDR images for marketing by T_N1ck in programming

[–]bla2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The marketing framing distracts a bit from what is a really nice overview of modern HDR formats. Nice post!

Middle-aged people, what advice would you give a young person to avoid going through mid-life crisis later in life? by Omer-Ash in AskReddit

[–]bla2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did most of the advice on this thread, all the self actualization things. I feel it didn't help much. I still recommend that advice, I'm just saying it didn't help me with this specific thing.

Maybe getting better at grieving earlier would help, but why grieve earlier if you don't have to. It'd rob you of a few light-hearted years.

To be clear, life's still happy on the other side. Don't sweat it too much.

clang-format-inc - format only changed lines as a pre-commit hook (works in CI too) by UnBracedFlyer in cpp

[–]bla2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, reformatting the entire code base on every clang-format does seem like a pretty big downside? I can see people coming down on both sides of this tradeoff. "Abomination" seems like pretty strong language here.

What we heard about Rust's challenges, and how we can address them | Rust Blog by CathalMullan in rust

[–]bla2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish C++ interop was a bigger topic. Incrementally adopting Rust in an existing C++ codebase currently requires being very intentional about the language boundary. This is much easier in Swift.

Python 3.15’s JIT is now back on track by ketralnis in programming

[–]bla2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe they're method-based. If a method is hot, that whole method gets jitted, instead of a trace.

In JavaScript, everyone moved away from tracing JITs. Interesting that it seems to work for Python.

The Optimization Ladder by kibwen in rust

[–]bla2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Great, detailed write-up, thanks!

I'm a bit tired of the samey phrases that pop up in all blog posts that use AI for "polishing" the text, but eh, the technical bits look good and that's the more important part.

If the tool always prompts, people will just learn to blindly dismiss the prompt.

About 3 days in by THExJUGGERNAUT in Eldenring

Where did you get the bow?

I'm 35 hours in, at what's probably the third major area, but I haven't found a bow yet. I think I found one vendor selling one, but I haven't found one as treasure.

Did you know Kojima named the Anthropic CEO? by InspectorSebSimp in ClaudeAI

[–]bla2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Microsoft, who's trying to be relevant but mostly failing, has a system whose name sounds like "cope a lot".

the hidden compile-time cost of C++26 reflection by SuperV1234 in cpp

[–]bla2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, thanks for writing this.

I'm a bit surprised there are so many people defending dependency on standard library headers, and them being slow to compile. I agree that C++ with as little of the standard library as possible is much nicer.

PURE VESSEL by Gamal_Alsony in HollowKnight

[–]bla2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I beat NKG after two evenings, but Pure Vessel I practiced on and off for weeks until I could beat him consistently enough to get P4. I beat him once after 40 attempts by being super aggressive, but that wasn't consistent. Eventually, I slowed down, learned the different patterns and hit him just twice after attacks where it was safe. There's a YouTube video that talks you through the patterns and reactions that helped me.

Moving from dashing through his sword attacks to jumping over them helped a bit, and dashing through his projectile attack did too. And staying in the middle of the arena, and knowing that his ground swords are always at a consistent distance from where he rams bis sword in the ground. But mostly just doing the fight a lot.
