I will never understand why resellers ask whether there's a reseller discount when purchasing a single license of something?
Why would there be a discount?

Is there a way not to burn quithub's LFS quota on github actions?
I have a repo with GBs of LFS data, and it looks like the checkout action downloads the entire thing every time it's triggered.
This is not only is extremely wasteful, but also gets expensive very quickly!

How much RAM do you have in your dev workstation/laptop?

The filesystem APIs on Linux remind me of Vulkan in a way. There's all these little low-level bits and bobs that can be used to build anything, but there's not a convenience function in sight, so everybody ends up implementing the exact same things in slightly different ways.

Sometimes a guy just wants to move a file to a different location, ya know?

I'll leave this here for the Rustaceans:

This shows Live++ running on a Rust app using nothing but the latest stable Rust toolchain - no nightly or custom builds. Note that this doesn't require code to be structured around dynamic libraries.

Optimized loading times and performance, task bar progress, a few XSX-specific improvements, and the first beta version for PS5.

@molecularmusing heyo!

small heads up the front page for live++ has what seems to be a dead link

With support for PS5 nearing completion, here are a few Live++ stats:

• 3 platforms
• 20 VS projects for tests
• 36 VS projects for Live++
• 137k LOC including tests (excl. external libs)
• External libs: Qt for GUI, Intel XED, xxHash

It has certainly grown to become the largest codebase I've ever built on my own.

PSA:
If your platform offers a native way to declare variables in thread-local storage (e.g. __declspec(thread) or __thread), use this instead of the C++ standardized thread_local.
The native version often offers superior codegen, even for simple types like int.

How can you mess up something so integral to the OS so badly?

Probably one of the most important comments in the Live++ codebase, because I would already have forgotten by now...
