one of the things that keeps us away from C++ is that completely pointless things like this become massive ideological conflicts rivaling that of catholicism versus protestantism

If you have a notebook and a pencil, you can draw an animation frame by frame on the bottom corners of the odd pages. Then, you put your thumb on the corner so that you make the pages pass very quickly, thus seeing the animation. No ads. No tracking.

C++ is c = c + 1 C+ is c = c + Specifically, it is an "error: expected expression"

Completely agree. It also has another benefit. It isn't just members that are public by default with a struct. Inheritance is also public. So you can avoid excess noise (C++ is verbose enough). If Employee is defined as a struct rather than...

The usual way that that's done is as a pilot project with a subset of the users that are more technically inclined. It's an opportunity to both establish that as well as identify anything that needs to come up during training. But, most of the...

This all involves some high level math surrounding the main point of not generating duplicate numbers. If you're just an average joe making a game, then anything will probably work out but there are space adventures where it will not.

I wonder if you pay to remove ads does that also remove tracking.

I spent a full day testing a few IDEs and editors, and in the end I came back to Geany + Vim. I realised I was actually looking for an “integrated environment”, but that was the wrong approach for me — my workflow is deliberately decomposed...

Well, that's my point about familiarity. Netflix had time to decide FreeBSD was best for their video distribution. They had the time but...I don't know about the others.

My favorite thing about this forum is that nobody can read what anyone else posts.

If you are using markdown format for your documents, you can use mermaid: https://mermaid.ai/open-source/syntax/gantt.html Also see this: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K70D5ebtEiw

It had to have been a typo. The error message didn't make sense. Anyway, I was wondering if startx worked at all, without all the argument shenanigans. If X fails then it certainly isn't going to do anything with the arguments.

oh i see it now. i typed /var/run/log instead of /var/log lol

Point #2 and #3 are spot on but #1 requires a bit of expansion. Claim that isolating "memory unsafe" code in the appropriate scopes sounds logical, but only if you work with people who can't constrain themselves from bad design or touching code...

We should have a heart/love/something alike reaction on the forum, thumbs up doesn't do it.

The error message would be "no such file or directory". If you get "not a directory" you tried to cd to it. And it means it does exist as a file, or else you'd get a similar "no such file or directory". dice@williscorto:~ % cd...

Then Xorg was never started.

Think you mistyped something, /var/log/Xorg.0.log is indeed not a directory, it's a file.

As the originator of the thread, you can mark it Solved by editing the first post in the thread if you wish to do so.

Doing this for years. Thought it was the normal way. 😁 The window manager (openbox) is the last program called in ~/.xinitrc and it's not backgrounded like everything interactive before it. For in case the window manager crashes for some reason...

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 Post the resulting URL here.

I'm a bit confused here. What is the purpose of those directories? Dual boot? Jail roots? VMs? In any case, did you know you could leverage boot environments to boot different versions of FreeBSD? This seems to be rather futile though, the i386...

Youtube links are converted to embedded, that's all the forum software does.

Moving this to off-topic, guys.

What dependence? Where? Those are youtube's trackers. Youtube links are embedded, we don't add trackers.

Thanks! I tried adding the following to /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.zfs.spa.note_txg_time=3600 following BrainOfJ's suggestion in Open ZFS issue #18082 This seems to fix the issue for now. And this might fix it for good in the future: Open ZFS issue...

I'm looking for a way to support your wonderful project. I really like it. Today at work, I decided to test cwm2's performance with three monitors again, after the changes you made in the last commit 35a6b4ec889c8af2178170aac181ef8ad16f2c72...

No point trying to hack it yet. The status string is short, with no support for Unicode chars yet. Hence the blank box chars. It's not a priority yet, perhaps in one of the later versions, in time. If the string is too long the string will be...

Moving this to off-topic, guys.

I wonder how many of those decisions are made based on familiarity alone.

Nowadays people are only concerned about the money as in profits. The guys who made Unix were just trying to make a better OS for the company's sake. No outside investors. No thoughts of profit/loss when it was sold. No concern with how fast they...

Funding. Profits. The todays research is not research, todays research are step 0 towards profit. Look at OpenAI, they called themselves "Open" so they can get the funding, scrape the open resources, and then they closed down into a proprietary...

So I've been using and working with UNIX and Linux for a long time... I guess what I find confusing is -- that no one is stopping anyone from doing research. The original "UNIX teams" were all doing research projects - Palo Alto Research Labs...

Yes. P3 was a userland update only. Except for ARM64, that did have a kernel issue that got patched. https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-26:03.blocklistd.asc https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-26:04.arm64.asc

I've only run into this on Linux, and I think it was with firefox esr, though my memory is hazy. I see that I have the x265 package installed on this machine and the only other x265 package I see is gstreamer1-plugins-x265. I use mpv and have no...

Here is a couple demo's of the Graphics2D module.

I was talking about the economic "advantage" that it takes if all independent developers are artificially forced to rely on a commercial entity. Phones are already done. If your software isn't in an appstore, nobody will see it, use it or buy it...

I would be far more concerned with how c developers who use FreeBSD feel about it, because they are the ones who contribute back to FreeBSD.

Hey!! Don't judge me just because I can't read!! Most companies are investing in AI to maintain and extend the software they already have most of it wasn’t written in Rust. And, the vast majority of development is happening in areas where Rust...

zfs create the datasets then put files into them. It requires a little extra planning. Yes, one can create the datasets and move the files after the fact, if one is ok with the PITA. If you want to do this after the fact, zfs create the...

I don't think end-users care which language is used to write the kernel or other utilities. Users care that it works, it's secure, is free of bugs, and is affordable. For instance, when I put the key in my car's ignition to start it that I expect...

While I don't know Rust at all and I'm not involved in any system development, I think everything goes downhill at the moment C complains about an illegal operation when you store a byte on a memory address with no visible context in the program...

They are not rewriting the Linux kernel in Rust. There aren’t even that many people writing Rust code for the kernel. In the last five years, only about 25,000 lines of Rust have been added to the Linux kernel that’s nothing. I could write 25,000...

I think there isn't any driver for FreeBSD yet. But this is what I plan to do. Since at the moment I'm trying to port the panfrost driver from Linux to FreeBSD 15.0 as a separate module /s/, I suspect that the same process can be repeated for the...

l have issue on 14.3 unable to run games after installed. I just lazy troubleshooting and install straight from guthub.

What if you add analog circuitry? I don't think it's possible to somehow map a device and predict a variating binary number from a digital voltmeter between 2 points. Quite sure that's 0 success rate.

I'd like to see a tool that examines a running system to identify loaded but unused kernel modules. Use that to build a custom kernel.

If you're still having problems, see this bug report: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291768 since you seem to have an EPYC machine. See if the fix in comment 12 helps.
