I just wanted to render some fonts to a png file ...
>>106870008being smug about knowing what compiler flags or shared objects or LTO/ pseud-LTO(a single translation unit gives you the same benefits) are like they're anything special or advanced shows me how experienced you are.
>>106866126Rendering fonts to PNG? Child's play for Lisp! With its powerful macro system and dynamic typing, Lisp makes this trivial task a breeze. You can write a concise, readable program in seconds. And because Lisp's garbage collector is so efficient, your memory usage will be minimal - no bloated packages needed.In fact, Lisp's unique nature means many other languages, including those massive 512MB packages, are simply dialects of Lisp or heavily influenced by its brilliance. Python, Ruby, even JavaScript - they all owe a debt to the granddaddy of programming languages, Lisp.So don't waste time with clumsy, memory-hungry tools when Lisp can do it better, faster, and more elegantly. Once you experience the joy of Lisp, you'll never go back to those cumbersome alternatives again. It's not just a language - it's a revelation. Lisp is the greatest programming language ever created, and there's no debate about it.

>>106872061it's not about me, it's about the tech literacy (or rather, the lack thereof) of the average /g/eet.half the comments in this thread are taking about "program sizes", when the half-retarded (that's an achievement here) op started off by sharing a built project size. it's like saying the linux kernel occupies 30-40GiB on your disk, because that's the size required to actually build the kernel (with a distro configuration).every other topic discussed had equally retarded discourse. for example, the talk about that header-only library and its lack of safety misses a much bigger and practically relevant point, which is that it probably lacks many of the fringe and even bordering-on-bizarre features that many fonts seem to make use of, and that's before we get into variations or advanced shaping shit. and i did notice that no one, including yourself, responded to the main point in that comment in question.
>>106872970>and i did notice that no one, including yourself, responded to the main point in that comment in question.You can't precisely compare the size of two programs unless they link the exact same set of DLLs/shared objects, otherwise you have no way of knowing how much code each one is actually using, since you can load in a DLL without using everything in it (which is by design of course) while on the other hand any good linker will remove dead code when statically linking. You can still make guesstimates, but they are just guesses, and if everyone is guessing all the time then this discussion is pointless. You can also establish upper bounds for each (i.e pick the worst case scenario where the dynamically linked executables uses everything from the DLL), but then that's not a good comparison at all.For an exact comparison, assuming cosmic-text has the same feature set as freetype and harfbuzz, you have to statically link Freetype and Harfbuzz and stb_image_write with all formats disabled except PNG, or something along those lines.
Are washing machines super-difficult to get right? Why the fuck does every fucking machine break in a couple of years? Samshit, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, all A SHIT.r*ddit tells me to never by a samshit, which I think is good advice. But what should I buy instead? My current LG has gone tits up again, the stupid control board keeps going on the fritz.
Whatever you do, don't buy this pile of shit from Amana. I never thought I could hate a washing machine as much as this cursed thing.
>>106872985This. They're designing things to break and be unfixable. It's not even to save money. Eg. they weld together the two halves of the drum.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=138S0rSbZ10
>>106872900>Why the fuck does every fucking machine break in a couple of years? most die sooner.and that's by design. welcome to 21st century newfriend. it'll only get worse going forward.
>>106873308But for the same reason you can't get a custom built pancake motor for the GNU/washing machine. (Nor a drum - it would need sheet metal manufacturing skills, or pulling apart an existing machine to assemble so lol no.)And a VFD is a fancy name of a PWM drive + inverter. Probably in AC-AC it's dime a dozen, but with modern drone and ebike tech, running a DC bus to everything but the heating elements (and evben there) is far more worth it than running AC up and down.

Almost everyove knows that JPEG files can be encoded to enable several progressive steps of rendering, so that the incomplete file on its early stages of downloading is seen as blurry.When the information of luminosity comes before the colors, such early image can also be decoded as gray or greenish (see the attached PNG; see also https://cloudinary.com/blog/progressive_jpegs_and_green_martians for the explanation). Modern versions of web browsers actually avoid this weird colours by suppressing decoding until both colour components arrive from the Web.When a JPEG is not progressive, it is designed to render from top to bottom.All that makes me think once again about the AVIF files.There are experiments of making them progressive (you can run “avifenc” with “--progressive”), but by default an AVIF is so much non-progressive that it does not render (even from top to bottom) until fully downloaded.But what if an incomplete AVIF were, in fact, rendered? What would we see then?Would the pixels come in the same “from top to bottom” order, but in blocks of different sizes?Would the pixels come in weird colours because the chroma comes after the luma?Comment too long.

>>106872911Interpolating frames would be million times heavier and would require external application. Encoded stream is compressed and why it's efficient - it's the same as an archive. If you mess up something in between it'll corrupt.

Didn't see a qtddtot.I bought a cheap second hand laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560 with a non-functional battery) for my cousin since his parents are fuck ups who pawned their computer for booze money. I've never opened a laptop before but I figured putting a new battery in can't be too hard. Anyway, this is what it looked like when I popped the back off.Am I right in assuming all that pinkish-grey stuff between the fans and the (I think) vents from the heatsink is dust that I can safely brush off with a toothbrush or pull away with a pair of tweezers?Right now my plan is brush away the worst of the dust then just blast the whole thing with a can of compressed air. Is there anything I should know before that? Any parts I should be careful of?Anything else worth doing before I hand the laptop over to him? There's some brown gunk that's hardened on the inside of the laptop case, maybe thermal paste? Don't know if that's worth replacing.
>>106872370>Use a soft clean brush and a vacuum cleanerabsolute pussy move. grab a lighter or a soldering machine and burn that shit out
Why bother when the parents will just instantly sell it for more booze money? Most functional wh*te family. India wins again saars
>>106872711>Ruins you're laptop

GPT-5 feels even more censored and useless now. I'm actually preferring the Thinking model for prompt building, even though with 4o I usually preferred the non-thinking one.

I've noticed this weird modern trend with games but especially with programs, where if it stops receiving updates then people abandon it.What causes this weird mindset of needing constant updates?
>>106869773reddit type mods collecting projects and probably putting maleare and nagware for free money
>>106871544I can compile X11 applications from the 90s without any modifications on arch linux today. Just stop using shitware. X11 and OpenGL 2.1 has worked for decades.
>>106869142Cool.But here, in the real world, there's actually a bunch of asshole running botnet campaigns, and actually probing your system for vulnerabilities.
>>106869100because things stop working Freetube stopped working for weeks but now it's back because of an updatethe days where old software just worked are long gone
>>106869100Others talk about things that break, but obviously there are old programs that still work perfectly 20 or 30 years later and they are also abandoned. I think that people want to believe that there is somebody on "the other side" that is their little slave and making their software work for them, and if it's clear that these "little people" are not there then the software feels dead to them.
we are so back. I never doubted.
What is it, a torrent site? Youtube is already ad free and free of charge
works fine for me on mint
It's actually crazy in all that time I never found a good desktop replacement they all suck compared to Freetube

What's the future of technology in the next 15 years? Privacy concerns aside, I don't want to live in a world where there are software updates for my fridge and car, will there be alternatives somehow?
because of vibe coding things will only get worse.more bugs, more updates, more workaround fixes that cause even more bugs.its over
>>106871288You never have to. You choose to use software that other people wrote cause it's more convenient than writing your own. Eventually you will have to solve your own problems if you want a proper solution.
>>106871576I'm eager to see how slop coding will affect linux development. Kernel is probably safe as long as Torvalds lives but everything else will probably be hit badly in 10 years.

>>106859779I think it’s a good skill to have, but I wouldn’t focus on it too much. It’s kind of boring unless you enjoy solving sudoku puzzles in your spare time. I only ever use it for game hacking and malware analysis. I couldn’t imagine trying to reverse an entire program for something as autistic as backward compatibility.

Why did 4chanX suddenly stop working on Chrome?
Imagine using Chrome. Firefox does not have this problem.>but i need to use Chrome for gmail and drive!!!You can go to gmail.com and drive.google.com just fine in Firefox. There is nothing you can't do (that people ACTUALLY do) in Firefox.
>>106871854>i need to sync my bookmarks and web history!!!!Oh, well thank goodness Firefox has that too.
>>106868049when the extension worked i could see my replies and watched threads in incognito but with tampermonkey it resets which you'd think would be a good thing for incognito but i dont like it

The fact that cashiers still exist is proof that robots will never replace us
>>106858202The biggest problem with self-checkouts are the retards in front of you that take forever. The average cashier is usually way faster but self-checkout is nice when I only have a few items and there's no line.
>>106858240I would use self checkout more often if you didn't need a store employe to verify something on that thing when you buy alcohol. and since I'm an alcoholic I buy alcohol whenever I go grocery shopping
>>106865367>>106865867If I had a debit/credit card, I don't think I would want it that thoroughly integrated into the system.What if I want to pay in cash? How do I turn my proceeds from meth sales into groceries?
