Kukumber··on ImGUI Ported to a LiteX SoC
Versatile: "able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities."

I never mentioned "limitation", ImGui is great for what it is, i wouldn't use lvgl to build my engine tools, i use ImGui actually

Kukumber··on ImGUI Ported to a LiteX SoC
ImGUI is great, but i wouldn't call it "versatile", it's too rigid to be versatile

It's too focused on desktop (mouse/kb), and you can't really theme it other than its colors and shape of the edges, doesn't support animations and you can't style the font, it's pretty basic

Creating custom controls is a ton of work

Then you have libraries like this: https://lvgl.io/ (gh: https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl)

That's what i call a versatile GUI library

Kukumber··on Gas shortage renders Iran’s air quality ‘unbreathable’ due to mazut pollution
Well, the Mossad keep murdering their Nuclear scientists, so they are unfortunately behind on Nuclear energy [1]

Kukumber··on Nelua: AOT statically typed Lua
Many languages to choose from, that's great

I wish the same could be said about tooling

How is the debugging story? gdb/ldb compatible? does it support its types?

Is there a language server available? formatter?

Kukumber··on Show HN: I'm a doctor and made a responsive breathing app for stress and anxiety
"free with in-app purchases"

What a boring future, "pay $9.99 to unlock this secret tip to survive in case you have trouble breathing!"

health is not a thing that should available with a pay-wall, we must advocate for a better world

Kukumber··on The base M2 14-inch MacBook Pro has an SSD downgrade
Why would they do that?

- power efficiency? that could have been tuned by software

- price? maybe they wanted to save on the SSD to improve other parts?

- different performance profile? better endurance?

I wish journalism meant something other than selling clicks

Kukumber··on [dead]
I moved all my systems to FreeBSD few months ago

There is no future for Linux as a OS, it got eaten alive by big corps and religious communities, the inclusion of Rust was the final straw

Kukumber··on Amazon has radically transformed small businesses in both the U.S. and China
I don't think Amazon has an impact in China, they already have many online marketplaces, and it predates Amazon doing business in China
Kukumber··on MSFT Q2/2023 Earnings Release
Hence a handheld would have served well for small hit games, including backward compatibility with XONE/360, it could have also been a catalyzer for their cloud/online services and a bridge with PC gaming (they own windows), Nintendo is profiting from it since most of their catalog (except for their 1st party) comes from PC ports

That's exactly Valve's strategy with the Steam Deck, they are capitalizing on it, and it seems to be a good idea, that's unfortunate for xbox, maybe for the next gen

Kukumber··on MSFT Q2/2023 Earnings Release
I read it again and i can see that, you are right, that wasn't the intent, i felt the comment was trying to downplay losses, so i felt the need to remind the differences, even more so since they just announced laying off 10k employees, including destroying the entire AR/VR/MR team
Kukumber··on MSFT Q2/2023 Earnings Release
It is important when you want to draw conclusions; you should use factual data, not your emotions
Kukumber··on MSFT Q2/2023 Earnings Release
xbox hw/gaming: -13%

This one is the most embarrassing of all, i wonder how different that would have been if they had a handheld instead of 2 console with 2 different performance profile, that seems redundant

When you look at Nintendo, it's night and day the amount of console they are about to sell, more than both Sony/MS combined each quarter

Kukumber··on MSFT Q2/2023 Earnings Release
> being able to grow revenues from acquired companies.

correction:

being able to inflate and cover up their losses by acquiring already successful companies

Kukumber··on Apple CEO Tim Cook requests and receives a 40% pay cut
Clearly you don't understand..

It affects the morale of your employees, knowing even your execs bear the price of struggle helps with mental health

It's documented and Nintendo applied it countless times during its history, look at the result today

https://www.polygon.com/2013/7/5/4496512/why-nintendos-sator...

I laugh at these companies laying off random people instead of cleaning up execs/managers, they treat their workforce like livestock, no wonder they are showing poor results lately

Kukumber··on Tesla Quietly Begins Construction of First U.S. Lithium Refinery in Texas
Texas? interesting choice, unstable grid network, water shortage, tornadoes, politically unstable

Do they expect South America's lithium to all end up in Texas?

Kukumber··on Elon Musk admits Tesla investors would rely on “funding secured” tweet
Lowering $TSLA to a near $0 will make the plan to take it private easier

What a bad time to be a $TSLA chill, i wonder who will go bankrupt first, the US government or Musk, he is just the PR person of the pockets, so that question becomes enigmatic :)

Kukumber··on The strange and awful path of productivity in the US construction sector
people in this website have a hard time with factual data, everything that goes against their narrative is downvoted, it's funny, reality check incoming soon enough
Kukumber··on GitHub Sponsors will stop supporting PayPal
Probably due to money laundering/washing issues with PayPal's cryptocurrencies
Kukumber··on Chess is booming and our servers are struggling
That's hard to believe, they make a shit ton of money

Glad i am using and supporting lichess instead

Kukumber··on The strange and awful path of productivity in the US construction sector
that explains the current situation, it's all bullshit :clown_face:

Kukumber··on The strange and awful path of productivity in the US construction sector
The pay and the working conditions are miserable, plus the society doesn't value hard work anymore
Kukumber··on Breaking the Snake: How Python went from 2 to 3
.net -> dotnet core
Kukumber··on 'censorship of TikTok over guns'says a lot about how officials prioritize safety
Looks like i made the right analysis https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34472467
Kukumber··on Microsoft has laid off entire teams behind Virtual, Mixed Reality, and HoloLens
Buying Activision is only to counter Tencent (or Netease, i forgot wich one), wich was interested in acquiring them

Microsoft and the US military are very close

Kukumber··on Japan was the future but it's stuck in the past
I wonder why

Kukumber··on Employees at TikTok Have a Secret Button That Can Make Anything Go Viral
To whom? it's not adversial to me

Are you saying the US is an authoritarian government that enforce this view on me?

Is this why they can enforce their trade sanctions on everyone?

Kukumber··on Employees at TikTok Have a Secret Button That Can Make Anything Go Viral
Weak institutions is what allowed the US to spread its military bases all over the world
Kukumber··on Employees at TikTok Have a Secret Button That Can Make Anything Go Viral
The focus on TikTok is counter productive, you build a sentiment that the goal is to ban tiktok because it's Chinese, that's racist, rather than raise awareness against social media in general

Now you get people complaining about CIA agents working at Google/Meta/Twitter doing moderation and who know what else (spying and profiling) [1]

How come Anti-Vax and bunch of conspiracy theorists grew on these US platform despite having CIA agents working there doing moderation, did they help push/promote them?

Yet none of that happen on TikTok, so why complain?

None of western youth want TikTok banned, they'll grow up being defiant against their institutions if that ever happen

Kukumber··on Breaking the Snake: How Python went from 2 to 3
Tell that to python, or C#
Kukumber··on When did Linux get so complicated?
When all these cloud companies started to fiddle with it, and most importantly, since microsoft systemd was forced on everyone

If you don't use all of that crap and stick to a simple workflow, things become easier to manage

In fact, your distribution is what makes it complicated, they ship with bloat you don't need
