Benchmarks mean nothing.
You’re free to suggest another method of comparing the two languages’ performance. This is the best we’re have, and Rust wins in every single benchmark shown there.
These aren’t the results of code written by an average programmer.
Citation needed.
I like Rust and all but we do need to admit it doesn’t magically solve all our problems.
I never said it did. I simply pointed out that it’s demonstrably faster than Swift.
This is completely incorrect. Their contract states that you can’t sell Steam keys for less elsewhere, which is entirely fair in my opinion. If your game is on multiple platforms or storefronts, you can sell it for whatever price you want there. The fact is that nobody does; they list it for the same everywhere and pocket the difference if someone buys on EGS.
If this was true, games would cost 18% less on EGS because they only take 12%. Shockingly enough, they cost the same.
If it’s “barely a problem in practice” why did you bother to mention it like it’s an active performance issue?
This post is so full of inaccuracies that I don’t know where to begin. I’ll just mention the first thing I noticed: just because drivers are compiled with the kernel doesn’t mean they’re all loaded at runtime. modprobe exists for a reason.
Because support is missing from SteamVR, existing games, or both.
Nature is healing.
Nobody who packages debs are updating their applications for jammy anymore. Anything I install is several versions old at this point. Just the other day I tried to compile an application that uses Autocxx, only to find that it requires C++14 headers, and the jammy repo only had up to 12 or 13. I know I can add PPAs or get things other ways, but it kind of defeats the point of a package manager if I’m constantly hunting for things outside of it.
I’m looking forward to Cosmic, but I’m curious if it will delay the 24.04 LTS release. 22.04 is pretty long in the tooth at this point.
Try Sidebery instead.
Show me a standard that was destroyed by EEE and I’ll show you a standard that never took off in the first place.
XMPP says hi.
It’s not reading the clipboard; it’s writing to it.
EAC works in Proton, as long as the developer takes the time to configure it right.
Pop is great for gaming, and part of the reason I picked it was so I’d have access to more software packages. No regrets.
This is making perfect the enemy of good. What’s actually going to happen is people are going to use “password123” because they can remember it.
Same here in every point, except my wife’s work computer is Windows 10, not 11.
The nice thing about open source is that you can just contribute the feature if it’s important to you instead of needing to make an external utility to do it.
If only they supported Linux. Proton support out of the box is the biggest selling point for me.
