An untested disaster recovery plan is wishful thinking

As always, this is incredible engineering. I’m so excited that M series macs have a supportability path beyond Apple’s proprietary support

Notepad++ works fine on Wine on Mac and Linux. After being away from it from awhile, I realized I don’t need it anymore. I would often use the column edit mode and recorded macros, but I just bash script those now. I guess I’m a different person now?!?

ROCm on my 7900xt is solid. ROCm on my MI50s (Vega) is a NIGHTMARE

You use Alpine as a daily driver? With a GUI? How does it do with hardware support?

I really appreciate Wayland and how much progress was made in the past year

Damn, that looks great

I’m familiar with that thread. I have a C1 tv which I wanted to use with an Intel iGPU at 4K120 HDR. The Intel HDMI output can only do 4K60 outside of Wndows. The iGPU’s dp does work at 4K120HDR. Out of curiosity, I also confirmed it works on a 7900xt at 4K120 HDR. I did this on Kubuntu and CachyOS with Plasma on Wayland

I used this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7VP726N

Not an ideal setup as HDMI 2.1 had slightly more bandwidth which translates to better picture quality, but it works better for me

I think this is beyond luck. This is astronomical. It’s orders of magnitude beyond what is lucky for our entire civilization to have produced in its entire existence

If this is reproducible without chicanery, I’m terrified

I’ve been on the internet a long time and this made me say “what the fuck” out loud

Edit: not sure whether I should ask what this all is or if ibshpuld complement you on your “output”

3090 24gb ($800 USD)

3060 12gb x 2 if you have 2 pcie slots (<$400 USD)

Radeon mi50 32gb with Vulkan (<$300 ) if you have more time, space, and will to tinker

Damn. I’m turning in my programmer badge and service weapon

I have had similar work contracts.

1. do not use ANY company resources. This could put you at risk of theft.
2. do not do it on company time or make it look like it’s on company time. See point 2.
3. you are liable for being fired if you break your work contract in most of the US.
4. whether or not you actually own the IP you created is unfortunately subject to state laws (in the US)

I want you to be successful. Don’t hurt your future career prospects

Just to be clear, I think T-SQL is fine and apparently they added some string agg function so you don’t have to hack XML_agg so… Something improved. But stinky spaghetti SQL is unfixable

Oh god this turned into a vent session

I think back of what I left behind. And I feel bad.

But then I feel better because I remember the reason I left was that we outgrew our processes and codebase and we desperately needed a restructure but i got no support in doing so.

I bitched for years that it was a continuity risk and a performance nightmare. But no. “Deliver more features. Add more junk for use cases that brought us no business value.” Never consider governance or security. Never consider best practices. Just more.

I knew eventually something bad would happen and I would be thrown under the bus. So I split. It was a good decision.

But yeah. Seone inherited a lot turd code

I wish I was working on your stuff back when I supported stinky 2008 T-SQL where everything was dynamic and sequential. I would have called you just for moral support

I’m curious about this Hackintosh. You got a good guide or some info lying around?
