评论信号：Well, I have not once found a single case where an app reacting to screenshots and controlling the process in any way was anything to me but hostile and annoying. This one does not help.It somehow is perfect example of how modern software engineering feels to go astray for me. A feature in my device working completely in benefit of the one providing said software. I wish, and wish only I can, that this trend goes away at some point. reply: It is actually astonishing to me that this is not something which can be turned off at the OS level, or as a permission setting in the app permissions.The app knowing I took a screenshot feels adjacent to me to a keylogger. Imagine how many apps are capturing that information silently. To my mind, a screenshot is something that is happening outside of the app context, the app knowing about it is a security flaw imo.

评论信号：If it's between this and a perpetual logo, I'll take this any day.I actually really like this approach. The action button isn't relevant in this context, and it doesn't occlude the content.There's certainly situations where you wouldn't want this (ie if you're developing the app and you want to redesign starting from a screenshot), but for the average user I think this isn't overly hostile. I understand that people are dogmatically opposed to intent being modified, but I think you need to balance nuance. I actually enjoy having an attributable source in shared elements, and I think this is a low-impact way of achieving that. reply: No need to set up a false choice as a straw man to knock down.It is user hostile.You're just defending Bluesky because you're on the same team politically. If the subject of this headline was X (an app that does the same thing, which I also don't agree with) everyone here would be seething with rage.

评论信号：This is phone OS developer's fault for even allowing it. When I take a screenshot, I expect to have an image of exactly whatever was displayed on the screen at the time. Its not a picture of your app, its a picture of my screen. Some banking apps used to (or still) prevent this and now some apps get a hook to insert their branding. My device serves some master other than myself. reply: iOS allows something similar. twitter (X) will also add a logo. I believe reddit did the same but i stopped using their app a while ago.

评论信号：I did exactly this thing when I was a broke teenager. The files in my ID1 directory that I shuffle around from computer to computer to this day came from that disc 30 years ago. (I still have the disc, but not the case.) I did, however, purchase Quake II and III when they were released. And many years later bought Quake on Steam. I think they got their money's worth from me after all.(There were some who believed that making the shareware disc easily-crackable was an intentional stroke of genius. It got people who couldn't afford the full retail version to buy the game and expand its popularity. The argument being that $10 was a fairly ludicrous amount of money to pay for a single shareware game. Shareware CDs tended to be $5 on the high end, or free with most computer/gaming magazines.) reply: > There were some who believed that making the shareware disc easily-crackable was an intentional stroke of genius.I doubt it....

评论信号：As soon as I saw "Quake Shareware" in the title of this post, I thought "Pray to the one you will pay!" which was what appeared on the screen when you ran QCRACK.I always wondered why Final Doom didn't unlock with QCRACK - I always assumed it was a bug with the keygen, never realized it wasn't possible to purchase it from the disk at all! reply: You can actually unlock Final DOOM from qcrack. But you need to use -g to give the codename of the game[1] because sku.17 won't give it away.1. https://rmolina-co.blogspot.com/2016/08/qcrack-y-la-belleza-...

评论信号：It’s worth getting the Quake shareware disc for the NIN soundtrack. Official track names are now available following the vinyl release a few years ago. This is the only CD release of the soundtrack. Just don’t forget to skip track 1. reply: NIN and iD (re-?)released a vinyl record set for the 30th anniversary a couple weeks ago.

评论信号：The part about getting authorized to test the emergency calling capabilities is cool! I should've expected that would be a thing but I didn't ever consider it.

评论信号：I see AF algo has some trouble with defocussing a perfectly sharp scene for no reason. :)Does this HW have access to PDAF pixel data?

评论信号：Great job.My advice would be to not take the frustrating and useless road of a non-profit structure for some things that you do for pleasure.The for-profit will be simpler and give you more liberties, and if, in the end, you have the good mindset that you want your creations to be shared freely, you can do it anyway. It is a state of mind.

评论信号：> This module is under active development. Once upstream, it should allow Rust developers to run Rust code on GPUs. We aim to develop a rusty GPU programming interface, which is safe, convenient and sufficiently fast by default. This includes automatic data movement to and from the GPU, in a efficient way. We will (later) also offer more advanced, possibly unsafe, interfaces which allow a higher degree of control.I really appreciate the work and the effort that went into this. However, such an approach has previously not really worked for C++ with LLVM offload. Why would it work for Rust? reply: > However, such an approach has previously not really worked for C++ with LLVM offload. Why would it work for Rust?They're very different languages, with different semantics. Without reading more than the synopsis of the paper, they're 100% leveraging the substructural type system and will have a really tight requirement for you to use a certain kind of Rust code at the CPU/GPU boundary.

评论信号：So... why go through LLVM at all instead of having the MIR target PTX/HIP C directly then?If they really wanted a vendor neutral solution for Rust GPU, that already exists: you write the CPU side code, including buffering, allocation, concurrency, etc through Vulkan binding and consume the compute kernel in SPIR-V from HLSL/GLSL/WGSL etc. As it stands, the way they use Rust here feels more like using it like TypeScript types/interfaces than anything else.Again, the size of most operations that should be done on the GPU is known ahead of time before compilation, so it's very much possible to statically allocate memory at compile time instead of going through all this trouble to write what's essentially a Rust shaped DSL for GPU compute. reply: Because it's convenient? Shader and vulkan semantics can be quite limiting and annoying to write.Maybe it doesn't matter in a post AI world but perhaps it will allow better abstractions.No need to yuck someone else's yum.

评论信号：I write all my code in Rust because I am a Rustacean. In many of my custom LLM inference engine projects, the biggest fight has always been bindings. I don’t want to maintain and write bindings; also, if I use an existing project that provides bindings, then I have to wait for the owner to update or fork it and then maintain it on top. It has been a big headache. Running Rust core on GPU sounds like something I will try from day one. Kudos to the team and will watch it closely.

评论信号：Super excited about Quack (partially due to the name). I use duckdb for both analytics and runtime, but I do have to serve/handle/manage a giant, multi-GiB duckdb file as effectively a runtime artifact[1]. I'm aware that this isn't the perfect database for this, but the mix of it being fast, having spatial support, sane coding interfaces, great dbt integration, and me being able to do everything between "run a giant several hundred step dbt pipeline" to "query the output of said pipeline" to "read/query a csv on disk" with the exact same tool is just so nice. If I could centrally manage said asset more akin to a traditional database, I'd be very happy.I've partially solved this with separate databases for different steps in the data pipeline(s) and have even experimented with Clickhouse as a complete alternative, but I really like way too many things about duckdb to replace it.[1]: If you care: https://skaldmaps.com/blog/2026/07/zip-codes-are-a-bad-spati... reply: I built a platform for some midsize companies in a specific vertical that is basically a data warehouse with some LLM-driven dashboarding and query tools on top. Typical data size 5-150gb....

评论信号：DuckDB is one of the things I've been most excited about in a long time. Introduced it to projects at 3 companies since 2023, greatly lowering resource requirements and running it in a variety of environments. Just having the ability to do out of core bigger than memory data processing on lower end consumer grade hardware is remarkable.Thanks to the team for everything! reply: Curious to learn more about how people are using it?Are they downloading parquet files and running analyses locally, or are they connecting to Iceberg-like data lake and leveraging DuckDBs query engine capabilities or have you exposed an interface (REST, UI) to query your data?

评论信号：https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flowDuckDB has been a fantastic engine to build on (in python), and processes thousands of events per second, day in an day out, without issue
