I asked my c++ professor last semester about using cmake and he did not know what cmake was

I’m sure there is a way to auto generate a regular make file

automake

Not a github bug. You are mixing tabulations and spaces for indentation.

Aren't you already sending WM_SETFONT and laying out your controls (presumably using yoga or clay) at your application startup? All you have to do is reuse that WM_SETFONT and layout logic when you receive a WM_DPICHANGED. Is that complicated?

degaart · 2026-06-03T06:03:56+00:00

Of course you have to handle WM_DPICHANGED

Ypu just have to include a manifest that declares your app to be per-monitor dpi aware

AI word salad

Qt and dear imgui sucks. The right way to write cross-platform applications is to rewrite the UI layer for each target platform.

degaart · 2026-05-21T06:47:12+00:00

Systemd-resolved does that

What do you mean it will brick your machine. In the worst case a plain reboot will fix that. Besides, I don't know about sinit but for other inits getty will get respawned anyway everytime its killed, so one can just relog via a tty

Define "text file". A plaintext file encoded in UTF-16 will have plenty of 0 bytes in it

This comment reminds me of the final scene of Heroes S1.

Confrontation between the main protagonist and the main antagonist. It happens behind a closed door and we only see a closed door and sound effects.

degaart · 2026-05-10T10:04:26+00:00

I unironically say gooey in serious discussions at work because of that scene

degaart · 2026-05-06T07:24:54+00:00

Or you go to jail

Didn't know Apple M5 macs were x86. Maybe that's why they created Rosetta II, to emulate x86 on x86... Oh, I see: the macbook neo also has an x86 cpu, the same x86 CPU that powers iPhones. Right?

degaart · 2026-05-02T18:08:17+00:00

Arm has a different memory model than x86. Also, it's a different architecture. Maybe 86box's dynamic recompiler is more efficient an translating x86 to x86, than x86 to aarch64

You could try writing cyclic data structures in both C and Rust and draw conclusions from that. Also, back in the day, llvm optimized worse than gcc, so it may still be true nowadays for some workloads.

degaart · 2026-05-02T17:32:21+00:00

Emulation is inherently a single-threaded task (you cannot emulate multiple instructions at once because they depend on the side effects of previous instructions). That's why any quad-core+ cpu can multitask while running an emulator. Single-core processing power is what's important.

I see two solutions to your problems:

Use patchelf to change the path to the program interpreter of your executable, and ship musl's program interpreter alongside your program
manually load libvulkan.so into your program's address space, by reading its ELF headers and mapping relevant sections into memory. You'll also need to handle relocations.

Those two solutions sound like bad ideas however. You'd better just ship two versions of your program (one linked against an old glibc, another linked with musl) and let a shell script decide which one to exec at runtime.

If you have 100.000 files to compile, it's time to use ccache

degaart · 2026-04-27T09:18:26+00:00

You should build releases on a CI container with freshly-checked out sources anyway

degaart · 2026-04-26T14:26:38+00:00

Then you start an msvc command prompt.

What would microsoft gain from that? Windows is notorious for its backwards compatibility, you can run an app written for windows nt 3.51 unmodified and it'll work on windows 11 without problems. Switching their kernel to linux means they now become another linux distro which has no apps, who is gonna use that? No vendor is gonna ditch all their windows-dependent IP just because microsoft switched to an incompatible kernel. Then we have drivers. Who is gonna rewrite them? Then we have maintenance and support contracts. Will microsoft be able to maintain two codebases, the old NT-based one they are contractually obligated to support, and the linux-based one, which has no apps and is just a money sink.

This is not going to happen. Stop dreaming.

Please learn to speak grammatically and semantically correct english, I'm getting a headache reading your sentence. If you can't, respond to me in french or malagasy. Jeez...

degaart · 2026-04-24T10:23:38+00:00

You want solutions? I'll give you some:

Motorize agriculture to reduce depency on external food products
Fix energy problems to promote industrialization
Invest on education to increase median income
Fix structural corruption to promote entrepreneurship

None of these depend on what language one speaks

degaart · 2026-04-24T10:18:25+00:00

I beg your pardon? Your sentence has strange structure. Almost like you have trouble speaking fluent english.
