As explained by the developer, Nvidia recently published the source code of its kernel driver under the MIT license (called NVRM). This driver is remarkably portable, and its platform-independent part can be compiled for Haiku with relatively minimal effort, although it requires the implementation of OS-specific binding code to be actually usable.
I have developed an 'esoteric' programming language - Floating Point Tiny !
You may have seen "Tiny" in Haiku Depot. Floating Point Tiny is a big brother to Tiny - replacing integer line numbers with double sized floating point line numbers, and doing math and comparisons in a double width floating point stack.
Floating Point Tiny is an RPN based language. You can find the C source and the manual at:
The right shift key vs. the up arrow key on my Lenovo Ideapad have been placed unfortunately - I think they would be better swapped - When I go for shift I usually catch the up-arrow instead
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. It’s inspired by BeOS. To learn about the history of BeOS and Haiku, check out the video The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of BeOS.
Over the past week or two, I’ve been working on refactoring and improving Haiku’s “user_mutex” code, which is the kernel-side component of mutex (locks) for userland applications. While there’s probably still more that can be done in the future, what I have accomplished already makes a significant d...
