This was most certainly not the case when using CD burners in windows 9x. I remember my friend being afraid of even moving the mouse while burning a CD.

Did you try using the MAD MP3 decoder, which only relied on fixed point? I remember trying it several times and comparing the audio output to the other decoders and wondering what the deal was. I had a Pentium though and didn't know enough about floating point to understand the issue.

Could it have been Dr. Hardware Sysinfo?

I think OpenWatcom supports windows 3.x and it's quite a nice compiler if you are targeting older PC systems and don't require support for the latest versions of C or C++. You can easily use it to cross-compile from a modern OS and I used it a few years ago for a Hackathon where we implemented a simple demo that we built on Linux and ran in DOSBox with a CI-like pipeline (no Jenkins involved since it was just for fun).

Thanks, now when I checked it again I see a reference to TempleOS so that is for sure it. I wonder why they put this in the repo of 9front though. It's the main repo according to the release page. https://9front.org/releases/2023/11/22/0/

Edit: There are files with quotes from a bunch of other famous people from the OS community there too. Ken Thompson, Theo de Raadt etc.

I randomly stumbled around in their repository and found the following file. What's the deal with all the racism?

CodeNavigator for iOS was a great app for cloning repos and reading the code offline. It had support for bookmarking and making annotations as well as syntax highlighting for many different languages.

Because they use encryption. The captured radio would have had the current key set in it or this would not have worked.

RHEL, "welcome to everything is old".

Unfortunately it's also a headache to use Linuxbrew with RHEL because it keeps trying to install its bottled glibc which doesn't like the old (but heavily patched) kernel and breaks everything not statically linked to the system libc until you remove it.

I used to play a lot of games on macOS using Wine but the reason many newer games don’t work and DXVK isn’t available on macOS is because Metal lacks some features that have been difficult for MoltenVK to emulate. This means that MoltenVK is only useful if your application/game doesn't rely on those features.

You can find all the details in this issue:

Reading the latest comments there it sounds like things may improve once Metal 3 is out.

Thank you rui314. There is a lot of good information collected in that issue.

I was not aware of this feature and we do use CMake. Thank you for letting me know about it!

Does mold support jobserver or some other mechanism to throttle threads?

We use lld currently but had to disable threading as sometimes in CI several of our test binaries would get linked at the same time. Whenever this happened the lld instances appear to have spawned enough threads to overload our Jenkins slave to the point that the master wasn't able to reach it and failed the build.
