nadioca··on Rust is Not so Hairy
How does it compare against c/c++ in terms of performance ?
nadioca··on Make. It. Simple. Linux Desktop Usability
Give it a try to "kde neon".
nadioca··on AMD Zen 2 Update: 7nm EPYC in Labs Now, Launching in 2019
Intel could ultimately try to make their processors using the other foundries until they get their tech sorted out. If I'm not wrong Samsung sells phones with Qualcomm processors and, consumers don't care much about that.

Thanks for sharing this story!
nadioca··on Arm unveils 7nm Cortex-A76 CPU
I wonder how much can actually be optimized due the reduced number of instructions found in risc processors. Is is the case if they need some special instructions they can still fit them in an arm processor ?
nadioca··on Arm unveils 7nm Cortex-A76 CPU
Looking online about this company. Apple has acquired pa-semi for $278m in 2008 which translated in having the fasted arm processor by a wide margin a decade later, definitely paid out very well.
nadioca··on Arm unveils 7nm Cortex-A76 CPU
I wanna see a realistic benchmark that compares it against intel's x86 i"X" (6th, 7th, 8th gen) to decide if it can be called a laptop class processor in first place... BTW, it's interesting to see how good apple is in designing their custom Arm processors.
nadioca··on Rumor: Running iOS Apps on Macs
Most of productive apps are web based these days. It seems like the desktop era has long gone.
nadioca··on A static binary rewriter that does not use heuristics
I was not aware about this project. Noted!
nadioca··on Using C++17 std::optional
c++ has been evolving so fast recently. Pretty sure it's going to be around for the next decades still.
nadioca··on [dead]
Very questionable dependency choices used in the project for instance by choosing "wxwidgets, freeimage and xml" instead of "qt, openimageio and "json/yaml" raises a concern about the project. For anyone interested in this subject please take a look at appleseed (https://appleseedhq.net) and cycles (https://www.cycles-renderer.org)
nadioca··on Hello Qt for Python
Those errors are always related with a bad implementation where there is something holding a reference to the qt python object represented by the bidding therefore keeping it alive even when their c++ instance has been already deleted. The solution is to go back to the drawing board and improve the implementation :)
nadioca··on Hello Qt for Python
Most interfaces created through web technology would be incredibly hard and slow to do using pyside/pyqt. We take for granted the non-blocking aspect of javasript where in python in order to make a slick interface would require to deal with threads/GIL in a much slower interpreted language compared with javascript running on V8.

Qt (Qt Desktop) bindings for python are welcome. But, it's not a suitable for a viable replacement for electron. Maybe Qt Quick, but even qt quick has some decisions that can make incredibly uncomfortable to use in large applications.

more exactly “underlying C/C++ object has been deleted" error.
nadioca··on China smartphone market suffers hard-landing, shipments decline 21% in Q1 2018
market saturation ?
nadioca··on From Microsoft to Apple, and Back Again
You are creating a case to justify your overpriced windows laptop.

nadioca··on Tim Cook on merging macOS and iOS: “I don’t think that’s what users want”
BTW they need to bring back the previous generation keyboard with a descent key travel.
