HELP! My Linux computer was working fine and today after I rebooted, it would not longer boot to a GUI, or it boots to a black screen, or it boots into the terminal, or I have no display acceleration and the best resolution I can do is 1024×768 This guide […]
So, it’s been 2 months since the release of DirectStorage Github repos and no new major updates. I deferred this post for a little while waiting for more updates, but I guess I’ll just have to post it with what has been made available so far. Myths? At least so […]
I finally found an explanation that worked on my (non-tech-savvy) friends using an analogy. How Bitcoin works, consensus, and why ‘mining’ rewards money. Why on Earth having a computer running all day earns money? My friends struggled with this concept. This explanation was very well received. So I thought I’d […]
So I saw these tweets earlier today: Horizon Zero Dawn has been fun.Tells me I have an old driver. Still runs. Takes 30 minutes to compile shaders. I watch the intro cut scene. I think. Better to update the drivers. I quit. Update drivers. Start the game again.And now we’re […]
I’m pissed. Quite angry. While I see a lot of users saying “wow, this spectre attack is genius. And it’s been there for 20 years hidden in plain sight!”, there’s a minority of people saying “I f–king told you”. I belong to the latter. I was under the impression branch […]

This is a rant. C++17 is at our doorstep and we’re no closer to iterable enums. And what annoys me is that I coded a solution in a single day as proof of concept that should be implemented at compiler level, yet I refuse to believe I’m 100 times smarter than […]
La página de AFIP siempre está llena de actualizaciones, muchas de ellas innecesarias. Y sucede que en la última actualización algunos se habrán encontrado con la sorpresa que es imposible eliminar un adherente de Obra Social del Monotributo. El caso en cuestión se trataba de un allegado cuyo familiar adherente había […]
So every now and then I hear: – We’re falling short on git. It wasn’t designed for big projects. [often in the context of game development] – Is your project as big as the Linux Kernel? No? I thought so. I find this extremely misleading. Not because the Linux Kernel isn’t […]
So I got interested into terrain editing software. Of the little free stuff I tried, I was marveled by lithosphere. However it lacked some important UX enhancements (like undo/redo, saving to PNG, or a useful open/save file dialog). It’s Open Source written in Python, so I tried to give it […]
