Why don't they start to support units instead of these ugly header files to finally stop duplicating code? I see this might break stuff but you could implement it side by side with the preprocessor so old code would continue to work.
Brave browser worked for some time but stopped as of today. The ad speedup extension (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ad-speedup-skip-vid...) is the only thing that still works afaik.
I would love to see a systems programming language with classes which were usable on bare metal, like with c++ and unlike e.g. D or free pascal where a runtime is required.

Any homepage of your project @OP to check for the alpha?

Re:Louvre: C++ library for building Wayland compositors on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @07:03PM (#38271597)
Looks very interesting! I just wish there was a possibility to run nested Weston sessions to avoid always having to switch to command line first before trying out a new compositor.
Re:Alternative Platform to YouTube: Odysee on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @07:49PM (#37923086)
This project is awesome! Just recently began to get these anti-adblock notices on YT and while one can still skip them by reloading the page I assume this won't be so for long. Awesome that Odysee even comes with different related videos than YT itself so one can discover new stuff outside of YT's algorithmic bubble.

You're right, just tried it & worked. But I imagine they'll "fix" this pretty soon.
hi
Yeah, this is one of the reasons why I think a microkernel would be excellent for today's computing.
Re:Dumpster Tektronix 2465B Restoration on Friday September 22, 2023 @10:15PM (#37620060)
I wanted to trash dump into the electronics at the local disposal center in Switzerland and they told me I couldn't because they need to destroy the stuff by law and punishable with 10.000 CHF if not. Don't know about an university though.
Re:Pelles C on Friday September 22, 2023 @05:36PM (#37618115)
Based on LCC but no source code :/
For me the usual adblock extension and Brave browser still work most of the time. Recently I got two skippable ads on one video but overall no problem. As I am using YT for streaming music I downloaded all relevant videos to have them available for sure without ads.

I will certainly use alternatives if YT begins to force ads.

Many fonts they show in the gallery aren't available for download. Quite a pity!
Re:Focus: A simple and fast text editor written in Jai on Saturday September 02, 2023 @07:32PM (#37366375)
Afaik is Jai still in private beta or something alike, just seen some sources like this and RayLib bindings but not the compiler itself.
Re:Poll: Which distro do you use? (2023) on Monday August 21, 2023 @12:40PM (#37212021)
I'm using Garuda Linux which is based on Arch so I voted for that.
Re:Basta Persistent Bash Status Line on Sunday August 06, 2023 @09:25PM (#37028876)
I need (to write?) a variant for the excellent fish shell...!
Modules. No more duplicating code into header files, just import a module like in modern languages. I love C but really hate headers.

Then, second for namespaces.
