Lets say you use a variable named abcd in your function. And a variable named abcb in a for loop inside the same function. But because reasons you mistakenly use abcd inside that loop and modify the wrong variable, so that your code sometimes doesnt work properly.

It’s to prevent mistakes like that.

A similar thing is to use const when the variable is not modified.

Unix domain sockets, shared memory (classic and/or over anonymous file descriptors), file system in userspace, the (ms) ini format.

Was going to sleep when i wrote that.

Uds, shm, fuse for ipc. Ini for configs.

Having a company behind software means you can pay to have your bugs fixed. Big distros want that stability for their corporate customers. It’s no secret or anything. KDE has sponsors, but doesn’t have a direct relationship with a huge contractor like RH. Same reasoning for systemd.

Politics, basically.

You can, since a couple versions ago.

So i checked the fhs. Doesn’t say it is deprecated. V3 just mentions XDG and glib (the probable sources of such claims).

You can get lower latency with vulkan then with opengl. I remember some emulators (gamecube?) talk about why they implemented vulkan.

I actually kinda like that one.

So biased. If you don’t know what distro to choose, go with kubuntu, mint, or pop. That simple.

Kubuntu. Unless you come from osx(then gnome), or have a really old computer.

Oh, you lost your leg to an elephant ? Here’s a crutch, go learn how to use it.

That’s similar to what i want to make. An open world where every npc and enemy has their own life and you can do anything, even start a settlement and grow it into a kingdom.

It’s just so much work, and procedural generation takes a lot to not be bland (hand crafting would take a huge team of artists and designers). I’v scaled back the design two times and magnitudes, and it still seems big. (PS It’s just a hobby for me, so don’t expect anything)

Dwarf fortress is probably the best at it and it took a talented person a long time to get even to this point, not to mention it’s 2d squares.

Didn’t know that. Turns out some lubricants cause plastic to swell or harden and crack. Recommended to use silicone or special lubricants. https://readingplastic.com/choosing-the-right-lubricant-for-plastic-parts/

Yea, it’s called Water Displacement formula 40. A penetrating oil mixed with stuff. Not nearly as goid as grease

Didn’t work on my last two sound cards, and always had latency problems for many people.

JACK is for profesionals. If you need to take an input from an instrument, run it through a software filter, and output it immediately. Or if you need to output from one program to another to another. Etc. Usually that means small buffers and a lot of cpu usage. Not really for normal desktop users. Grab a specialized distro like ubuntu studio and try it, if you want.

It’s more like JACK for desktop. PA was never good, just obvious bad design.

Gimp Tool Kit, where gimp means Gnu Image Manipulation Program, where gnu means Gnu’s Not Unix. So, in short, gnu’s not unix image manipulation program tool kit.

Kubuntu. Easy as that.

Thanks. I googled it and yea, just as i thought. Lately i was thinking about how one would make long lasting furniture and this fits perfectly.

Got a picture ? I was wondering what kind of furniture would be timeless, as most consider old fancy furniture as tacky.

If it’s plain, i can imagine it without a pic :)
