How many lines of code does a typical DOS-era game have?
>>108564980Spbp
>>108564921cloc says I have 59067 lines of C code in my decomp/port project in the *.c files. This is inflated somewhat due to its nature as fixed up decompiled pseudocode and the shit I added to port it to modern systems, so I'd guess maybe 75-80% of that figure for a rough estimate?
>>108565643My estimate does not include the in house libraries used for networking, audio, etc. as I replaced all that with SDL3, editing tools, or any of the resources. The compiler used was Watcom, either 10.5 or 10.6.
>>108569314yeah, but what about the programs they had to write for the project? Big projects usually require a few in-house tools, for making assets, making levels, in game debugging and more.for instance, id made the wad packer, they also made their in house editor to make levels.

Half of all posters on this site are bots, that goes for all social media too. It's getting so good at mimicking humans that you can scarcely tell if you're talking to a bot who is just programmed to parrot whatever message they want you to believe.That alone, among many, is reason enough to hate it. On it's own it is a tool, it has no thoughts and feelings, it does what it is programmed to do. The way it's being used though, it has transcended simple next-word prediction and is being used to program people. A bot will probably respond to this post, fuck if I know.

This shit is literally everywhere because once it starts there are ZERO legal options for recourse. None. They've taken all options for recourse away already.

Lmao, even."Trans peeps" are ideologically captured and will do anything the powers that be tell them to.All the governments and corporations have to do for them to put backdoors in software or nuke them to oblivion is to tell them that it would be racist or nazi not to, and they will do it gladly. They're doing it right now with the ID verification shit, calling everyone who opposes nazis/racists/radicals/buzzword. Even projects who have nothing to do with Systemd, because the ones running or maintaining those projects are troons, such as Alpine Linux for example.They've shown over and over again that they don't care about software quality or integrity.

Stop pestering people about switching to Linux. Sure, the system is free, but the time you'll waste on it just isn't worth it.Here’s what happened to me after installing CachyOS:>No HDR support>Raytracing disabled in games>Can't disable the login password when using GNOME>Can't run games over a cable to my Quest 3 – even after installing wivrn, Half-Life: Alyx (which I don't even own on Steam) still doesn't work.On top of that, GNOME keeps showing me a window asking for financial support.And sure, Claude and DeepSeek are supposedly meant for coding and writing commands, but they can't even figure out my Linux issues — they just give me broken commands.I'm stuck with Windows.

Computer science education in Bolivia is in a worryingly underdeveloped state, and this point deserves to be emphasized. While in other countries the teaching of programming, robotics, and computational thinking has become an essential part of the school curriculum from an early age, in Bolivia a limited approach still predominates, focused on the basic use of office software and with little integration of computer science as a formative discipline. on this at UPEA

>>108566630>CSlets are all about big O notation until they find out it doesn't apply to real life data. It DOES apply to real life data, it just depends on how big your IRL "n" is. If you're working on small scale projects bounded to a local environment, then write whatever slop you want. But any kind of business or simulation software is quickly going to reach ns in the 100k-1M range if not higher, where time complexity greatly affects performance. I have had to personally go back and rewrite shit people wrote in linear time because it was causing real world systems to buckle. Whereas, if they had just used a hash table or binary search from the beginning, the system would have hummed along smoothly.>Premature optimization is the root of all evilis horse shit. POST-mature optimization is the root of all evil. It's very easy to build something performant if you are starting from scratch. But if you build a complex web of unoptimized shit, it's very tempting to keep kicking the can down the road. After a system has been in place for so long, most people working on it won't even fully know how it works under the hood. Systems can languish for years or decades because digging through and refactoring a mature system is a tall task.

>>108569073That's not what I meant. Suppose you have an almost sorted list (could be billions of items), if you have a fixed number of unsorted elements (unrelated to N), then you can use bubble sort and you'll get the list sorted in O(n) time. If you use quicksort, you run into the worst case scenario and quicksort would sort in O(n^2) time.The bigger issue is that people often don't get into the specifics of the data they are dealing with. Real data is not pure entropy, there are very often patterns in data.If you see two large matrices you need to multiply, then there are O(n^p) algorithms with 3>= p > 2 that do a really good job for all types of matrices, but if your matrices have a lot of 0's in them, maybe you should look for specific algorithms. For instance if you happen to have a LU pair, then multiplication becomes much faster.
>>108569265Forgot to add, but algorithms like timsort and pdqsort are prime examples of what I was writing about.We have the best theoretical algorithms, but they happen to do really bad on specific inputs, so these meta algorithms try to correct that by detecting worse-case scenario inputs. And also it turns out that these worse-case scenario aren't really rare, unless your data comes from pure entropy, which isn't usually the case.
My friend wants to try Linux. I recommended her Debian. Was this a good choice or not? I still have an option to recommend her something else since she hasn't gotten around to installing Debian yet.
>>108551217debian is great and perfectly fine for new users nowadays.Cachy is also a solid choice.
Go for Fedora, stable enough, not as outdated. Debian is good for someone who already knows Linux, Fedora is good for someone starting out>>108551484>snapYou are retarded
>>108566977>>108567095I really like Debian's philosophy and as an OS itself and I've been thinking of switching to it to get the "most vanilla" experience Linux can offer, as you said. But there's something that stops me: If I were to install Debian and then use PPAs and backports for newer kernels and drivers, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of Debian? Would it be better if I went with something else like Fedora/Arch, or even Debian Testing/SID?
>>108566977I can't speak to flatpak, it probably does ok. But thing's like Debian's drivers will still be way out of date, the kernel will be way out of date, it will be slow comparatively to a more modern system running flatpaks.I used to run Debian by pinning a bunch of packages from sid that mattered for performance but it was such a pain in the ass I just fucking run sid these days and its breakage is less than the multi release system.
