ReHabMan is just amazing. It's even easy to get started with all the tutorials. Indeed, the problem I was getting was with nvidia support, mini-display port, multi display in general, video drivers, hybrid video (integrated + discrete card), etc. Everything else was working a bit too well.
It's sad that this is not legit, the community is really awesome. At least this nvidia move with drivers is a good news for the users in general I suppose.
I personally worked on windows back in the days, discovered MacOS, moved to ubuntu, hated all the PPAs, missed the tools I had on mac so gave hackintosh a try, wasn't legit and had lots of troubles with nvidia, moved to arch linux, struggled with lack of nvidia support too (ironic isn't it?) but turned out to work a bit better on Fedora (maybe because I got better with X11, wayland and configs in general) Then someone left at the office and I got his macbook so I moved back to MacOS (my dotfiles are now compatible on all main os and I automated my setup...). I don't think I'll switch again for a while (time consuming, it's a long trip), but this news is really tempting to move back to hackintosh. I have to admit it though, I really enjoyed Fedora :P
I've just recently installed macOS Sierra on my ASUS laptop thanks to ReHabMans tutorials, some things took me days to fix like the audio, but you always end up finding the solution in a thread made by that talented guy. The only problem I had was high RAM usage and some other things that need tweaking.
edit: mic and cam don't work, this way nobody can spy on me ;)
If Intuit, Sage, and Adobe got together they could just go ahead and pick a winner among Linux distros on the desktop. The main complaint is always that there are too many to support. Put those three on one, maybe get Activision and EA on board, and whatever they chose would be the defacto standard on the desktop.
Doesn't make sense from a business perspective. It's not like a Linux desktop is some new bet -- marketshare is small. Intuit barely supports the mac and even that is relatively new. Adobe has a disproportionate number of mac users for a variety of reasons, but that isn't the norm. With android and iOS already being 2 new platforms with little code shared, adding another platform that has little growth potential isn't cost effective.
It's a bit of chicken and egg. Marketshare is small in part because there's not a clear winner (or even two clear major leaders). People don't invest because there's no consensus on which to support. Because there's no consensus, there's no impetus to invest. Because there's no support for these apps that are Windows only or Windows and Mac only, the users aren't there to demand the support.
If a coalition (or cabal if you'd like to phrase it that way) of software vendors formed to select, build, or define a distro for the business desktop it'd become a more viable option.
If it was installed broadly at work, many people in turn would look for it for home use. It's how MS-DOS and then MS Windows became the de facto standard in a time of CP/M, Unix, Apple DOS, Atari DOS, GEOS, Amiga Workspace, OS/2, and MacOS. Having a single majority OS didn't happen because it was superior. It happened because of network effects.
Steam does a good job of covering all of the Linux distros, even if you're on your own for things like Arch Linux (the community maintains a great Wiki).
The only thing they need to do is fix high-DPI display support (it's broken even on Windows and there is a HUGE issue on GitHub that has been around for years now without any action being taken to resolve it, a little frustrating):
They do. I agree. It's not going to help someone who needs QuickBooks, Peachtree, After Effects, Photoshop, and other apps to work as well as on Windows. WINE is neat, but it's not a solution for SMEs to run their businesses.
What I'm saying is that if Steam can support many distros easily, then it is certainly possible for Intuit/Sage/Adobe to as well without that much extra work than just focusing on one distro. It really comes down to just providing packages for each package manager (Deb, RPM, etc.). Linux environments aren't all THAT different at the end of the day.
A very good example of Compute Shaders for the recent release of Unity 5.6 that supports Metal for MacOS and iOS. This is just awesome, grab the project on Github and try it! It's not perfect, but still very impressive. All the gravity is being calculated using the GPU :)
Hi, this is a chrome extension to convert ANSI characters to colors.
Posting here just in case someone is interested in giving a hand, it's just for fun, but could be handy for some users.
It's kind of cool as I was able to get browserify to work within a chrome extension and it currently strips ANSI characters on a single button click so our eyes can stop bleeding ;)
The hackfest posted many videos from the HF2016 event. There are some very interesting presentations in there.
You'll find a lot of cool topics such as ios hacking, php7 opcache security, dark web, internet of dongs, IMSI catchers (will freak you out) docker security and way more. Oh and the presentation from Chad M. Dewey about hacking the high seas is really funny.
To anyone near Quebec interrested in hacking, you must go there every year ;)
Thanks to the hackfest organisation and all of the presenters, that was indeed a really cool conference.
Happy new year!
npm search will at least return results now ahah. I didn't know about https://npm.im/npms-cli , sounds like a great alternative. Thanks for sharing this release here :)
Sounds interresting, I'd be glad to see a blog post with the actual use cases and a few graphs with different numbers of cores, and maybe the sources so people can go further.
I'll try to dig it up. I suspect it's sitting in an SVN repo somewhere...
If I recall, I took a stock Python interpreter and instrumented it with RDTSC instructions to do lightweight timestamps on GIL acquisitions and releases.
This is an awesome idea. Totally looks good and I'd definitly add something lile that on my portfolio. I hope this will get attention by the gh guys :)
There's a few funny discussions in the list, I could not stop myself from sharing it ahah.
