There are a couple of emulation communities outside of Beehaw:

many results say to install custom ROMs which I can’t since its a US model and the bootloader is locked.
Are you sure it can’t be unlocked?
Many phones that don’t officially support unlocking can be exploited to do so anyway. Some will lose relatively minor functionality in the process (camera enhancements were lost on mine, but the camera still works fine) but the tradeoff is often worth it.
I think it’s pretty clear that IETF drafts are not what author meant when he wrote draft, and I’m pretty sure the IETF doesn’t have much to do with C++ standards.
Are you under the impression that there is no other sense of the word?
It might help you in the future when you are discussing things like drafts, specifications, and proposals.
As it turns out, I have done more than a little of that. Thankfully, I don’t usually see such condescending remarks in the process, nor such insistence on misunderstanding. Good luck to you, too.
Either it’s a draft or it’s a new iteration of the language. Can’t be both.
It’s a draft of a proposal for a new iteration. Is that so difficult to understand?
That’s fair. I think the last word in the URL does a good job of representing the implementation’s claimed level of maturity:
draft

11·3 days agoIs it true that Telegram doesn’t encrypt group chats at all? Maybe that would get their attention?
My biggest criticism of Telegram (but not the only one) is that they use homebrew crypto. Of course, I don’t know if your family would understand why that’s bad.
this is yet another competing standard of static analysis.
No, it isn’t.
Those are linters. They might or might not discover problematic use of unsafe language features lurking in existing code.
This proposal is a new iteration of the language and standard library. It would provide safe language features for preventing such problems existing in the first place.
It would be nice to include Zig’s approach in the comparison. I’ve only just begun learning it, but the syntax seems pretty elegant from what I’ve seen so far.
Upvoting not because I share author’s preference, but because I’m interested in reading other people’s perspectives on the topic.
7·5 days agoHow would this control people selling their used hardware? I don’t see anything about Sony trying to disable resold consoles.
you’ll get “a product that works like new with genuine PlayStation replacement parts (as needed) that has been thoroughly cleaned, inspected and tested”. You will receive all the cables and paperwork you need for a PS5, and it comes with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty
That’s worth a premium to some people.

Control+F: VMS
Phrase not found
Disappointing that the author didn’t seem aware of Windows NT’s connections to VMS. Some fun facts:
- Dave Cutler, the WNT lead architect, previously worked on VMS.
- Several of WNT’s internal systems bear similarity to those in VMS.
- VMS is a closer contemporary of Unix than WNT is.
- Advancing each letter in “VMS” yields “WNT”. (It has long been speculated that this was no accident.)
2·8 days agoIt is possible. Before Cemu (Wii emulator) had a native Linux version, people ran the Windows version in Wine.
By the way, it’s okay to say emulator. Hardware emulation is not the only kind of emulation.
I’m trying to understand Git, but it’s a giant conceptual leap.
In that case, I suggest learning Mercurial first. Its underlying design is very similar to Git, but the interface is more consistent and does a much better job of presenting the concepts to humans (especially those already familiar with traditional version control). Then, once you’re comfortable with the concepts and commands in Mercurial, learn Git, since it’s everywhere nowadays.
Consider learning at least one new language, if not immediately (since you’re in a hurry) then in your free time. Java is only one of many (and not even a particularly nice one IMHO). Try to find a language that you enjoy using; your programming life will be better for it. If you want something flexible and productive, consider Python. For more structure than that, maybe Go. If mobile apps interest you, there are Kotlin (Android), Swift (iOS), and Dart (both). If web development appeals to you, along with lots of job openings and lots of competition for those jobs, JavaScript. If you fancy the esoteric (and well-paying), Elixir and Erlang are worth a look. Lower level languages are in demand as well (e.g. C++, Rust) but they come with various kinds of pain that I wouldn’t recommend to someone in your situation.
Above all, please make sure you’re reserving time for things that make you happy, sleep, and (if still possible) some kind of exercise. Your own physical and mental health are important. If you endure a bad working environment or wear yourself thin for too long, you will burn out, which won’t help you provide for yourself or anyone else.
Take care, OP.
One pattern I’ve noticed is people seeking a language that’s better than {JSON,XML,INI,etc} at wrangling their slightly complex configuration files, noticing the additional features and type support offered by YAML, and assuming it will be a good solution.
Then, as their configs grow ever larger and more complex, they discover that expressing them in YAML requires large sections of deep nesting, long item sequences, and line wrapping. The syntax style that they saw working well in other places (e.g. certain programming languages) breaks down quickly at that level of complexity, making it difficult for humans to correctly write and follow, and leading to frequent errors.
YAML doesn’t suck for small stuff, IMHO. (But it is more complex than necessary for small stuff.)
For things likely to grow to medium-large size or complexity, I would recommend either breaking up the data into separate files, or looking for a different config/serialization language.
I almost ignored that link because most of the opinions I’ve seen from Sweeney have been self-serving and/or misleading, but it turns out he raises some good points in that slide deck. It gets relevant to this discussion around page 27: Reliability. Thanks for sharing it.
The cool kids in systems programming are using Rust now.
Can you explain what you mean by “the cool kids”?
no one yet Jonathan blow’s unnamed programming language (people call it jay).
I guess you missed my comment. ;)
Also, I don’t think Go is generally considered a systems programming language.
Games requiring kernel-level anti-cheat are such a small minority of games that I struggle to think how this could mean big anything (good or bad) to Linux gaming in general.
