I'm surprised he made no mention of the SDL3 GPU API since his proposed API has pretty significant overlap with it.


Not to mention the number of ordinary people who still parrot the utter dogshit arguments to this day despite being actively harmed by them


In New York, we are trying to implement universal childcare.


Same in Barcelona.


Works for lots of other fonts too :)


How are you crashing out over a $9 toll while using a mode of transport that's (conservatively) 3x more expensive to commute just one way? Good grief lmao


Having reasons based in ethics for doing something is not the same thing as a purity spiral.


On the contrary, it is not a mundane issue. Traffic infractions and parking violations such as blocking bike lanes or crosswalks directly contribute to a less safe environment for everyone on the street. Traffic fatality is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States. It is the cavalier attitudes of people who think they should be able to whatever they want, whenever they want with their cars that belies a lack of moral character.


This is cool! @OP, are you the creator of Geoscript? I've never heard about this anywhere else before.


Most database systems are designed to amortize fsyncs when they have high write throughput. You want every write to be fsync'd, but you don't want to actually call fsync for each individual write operation.


It is really crazy how limited debugger options are on macOS. Is it simply the case that there are not that many people writing code in systems languages on macOS outside of XCode?


I used to be such a person, but after years of feeling as though Apple found people like me irritating and wished we would all stop bothering them, I finally took the hint.

Linux may not be so pretty, but it's far more comfortable.


Linux is great, my issue is laptop hardware.


What problems do you encounter? Which sorts of laptops do you prefer?

My "all Thinkpad, all the time" strategy has generally served me well (though I was disappointed by the most recent one, a T14, which would never sleep properly).


poor displays, trackpads, cooling, performance, and battery life.


MacBookAir + aarch64 linux vm -- best of all the worlds. Linux for the 5% of things I need linux for, amazing battery life and hardware for the remaining 95% of things my laptop does.


Apple continuously makes the life of third party debuggers difficult, to the point where doing so today on a “stock” system requires malware-like techniques to get around their mitigations.


Kind of. I am a systems engineer and want to work on an open OS I can debug with my syseng skills...


It's because macOS has security measures.
