A 32 but integer can store a number up to four billion. If measuring RAM size in integer bytes, 32GB would be 0 bytes, because that integer would wrap around four times.

Assuming windows, if you right click on the executable, you may be able to choose to run it in a compatibility mode of some sort (like XP mode or something) in which case it should report smaller memory to the game, probably.

This article is written as though it is targeting FOSS newbie or something – a weird mix of jargon and simple language designed to overawe someone.

Their VCS is at least as interesting as SQLite :)

Only games I’ve passed 100 hours on:

Pokemon (multiple versions)

No Man’s Sky

Many Paradox games: CK2, CK2, EU4, Stellaris

No Man’s Sky. Again. It keeps sucking me back in.

EU4 with Anbennar mod – update just released with a bunch of new stuff.

Oh hi, this is me too. Since 1.0alpha ;)

Yes, but my name… So…

Now I want to do a Carthage run inspired by this ;)

The list is great! But it doesn’t really tell us which ones are actively developed. Running historical DEs is fun sometimes. For example, LXDE doesn’t really see a lot of development compared to its successor, LXQt. But once again shows the the Arch Wiki is the best ;)

I guess people do occasionally compile KDE 1.x just to see if it still runs on modern systems (it does, but obviously some underlying things have changed over the years, like the audio and graphics stacks). But that isn’t the same as being actively developed :)

Someone enlighten me. How many active desktop projects are there currently? (Not just window managers…)

KDE Plasma, Trinity (is it active? Fork of KDE 3.5)

Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon (fork all the things!), or “reskins” like Unity or Budgie?

LXQt, Xfce… Is enlightenment still active as a project?

Does anyone use Deepin – appears to be a partial fork of KDE (kwin, etc.) with new desktop environment built around it rather than use Plasma.

Or Pantheon (Vala+GTK3?).

Cosmic is from the ground up, recent and active I guess.

Missing anything?

2009ish

I am old, so this tracks ;)

All I’m hearing is complaining. It’s open source. Fix mate then so it does what you want.

Well, that’s on mate then. In KDE you could remap to a combo of your choice with ease

I don’t use mate, but assuming that it has a file manager and that file manager has hotkeys that conform to the muscle memory that is built using other file managers… Try it and see what happens?

Depending on the carrot, the skin can be significantly more bitter. And sometimes peeling can be quicker than trying to scrub dirt out of particular lumpy carrots.

YMMV

LKML and patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0fc810ae3ae110f9e2fcccce80fc8c8d62f97907

He cites his work as being a variant of a patch submitted by another developer, Josh Poimboeuf. It’s a team effort folks :)

It was designed from its very start to be used for numerical computing. So the language it built around it and it sort of excels in that use case.

This used to be the holy bible of numerical methods, if you want to see some sample code: https://s3.amazonaws.com/nrbook.com/book_F210.html

A lot of the underlying libraries in python are actually written in Fortran (or were when they were conceived, and the Fortran components later replaced). Numpy, for example, was originally pretty much a wrapper on top of BLAS and LAPACK.

This gets even more complex if you’re using a toolkit of some sort. C++ has a batteries-included way of doing something, then STL has another, and Qt yet another… Etc.
