@ChristerEricson @EddieMakesGames QEMU is a very recently version with patches for clean shutdown of windows, CPU pinning, and some VFIO fixes. We extensively use PCI passthrough to bypass most virtualization, or get the hw to assist (SRIOV).

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@ChristerEricson @EddieMakesGames No overprovisioning. We statically preallocate all resources, including CPU, storage, memory, networking, and graphics, for each VM. This method ensures that each VM has its own dedicated resources, thereby preventing resource contention and enhancing performance predictability.

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@ChristerEricson @EddieMakesGames For performance, our hosts are bare metal, KVM hypervisor, 4-16VMs/each, container-deployed. Almost all run Windows VM workloads.

@jtilander Breakpoints? Debuggers? Who is this??

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@r_gspan @Froyok Nice!!! I should push out an update, I haven’t looked at it in a while.

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@andy_kelley Mostly a problem for game developers on windows, because of 1) perforce and 2) extremely slow/complicated build systems. These problems don’t really occur for most people today because of git (free branching) and builds are mostly very quick (if needed at all)

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@cmuratori Nobody even notices this anymore. Group Stockholm Syndrome. There must be some good reason you’re putting yourself through this. Do people still use VS? Outside the games biz? Time to move on. They ship the build tools separately now + there’s vscode if you just can’t let it

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@MichaMettke Happy Birthday!! Very happy to have you here and wishing you the best this coming year. At 0x1E, you’re still a spring chicken :)

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@jtilander You got it wrong. You will start the project, no problem. Finishing is the issue. /me looks over to my raspberry pi collection.

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@jtilander Well well. Who do we have here joining the fork party :D copy on write. One thread. Ahhhhhh life if simple and rock solid.

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@jtilander Yeah story of my life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But that’s ok. Those who know, know.

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@jtilander That’s impossible. What was this script doing?? Bit twiddling? Clipping polygons? Geez

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@c_nich @kenpex @tom_forsyth You can do that in wasm (for web)

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@tom_forsyth @c_nich @kenpex How dare you :) I left it open to interpretation but of course I meant watcom 10.0a 😍

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@kamidphish @domipheus This. No matter where you look, you find a universal truth: at the lowest level everything is held together by a dozen or so perl scripts wrapped in bash orchestrated via cron. There are no tests and no docs. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@mattswider I finally got a PS5!! Lord have mercy. Thank you 🙏🏼 very much, I’ve been trying randomly checking sites since feb. I started following you I think a week ago and just got lucky

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]

@jtilander That’s really old! Happy belated Birthday old man :)) I just found out today as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Amit Bakshi @ambakshi]
