When I was writing my own CHIP-8 emulator I struggled to find info on timings as info on the COSMAC VIP was scarce. I resorted to arbitrary sleeping which solved most of the issued for the roms I tried back then.

It had a JIT recompiler based on sljit.

It's great for my side projects but I have never been able to use it at work. I gave up and used pyinstrument instead.

I wanted to submit a ticket for my use case but I can't find a minimal program & setup to reproduce the issue. I just know it in my gut it has to do with the mix of multiprocessing (fork) + async + threading.

I'm going to the office even though I'm not an essential worker because working from home ruins my mental health. I stayed home for the first three weeks of social distancing and I couldn't be more stressed and unhappy if I tried.

I clicked on the link thinking it would make me feel dumber and lazier than usual and I was not disappointed.

That was a nice read.

I've been using Awesome every day since 2009. The only things I change from the default on a new install is the terminal, the default layout and hide title bars.

The author mentions compositors, but if you don't require fancy things like transparent windows or shadows, and you have a a well supported/behaved GPU and monitor, you can probably do without them if all you care about is tearfree video. Drivers like intel, ati, amdgpu and more recently modesetting have a TearFree option that does just that. For some systems switching to a DRI3/glamour setup is enough and as a last resort you can configure X11 and mesa to force vsync.

Similar case here where I work. There's a Delphi 3 application with an access database that has been in use for an unknown number of years. Last update to it was in 2002 or 2003 and it's been in read-only mode since 2005.

You don't have to use QML/QtQuick. Qt Creator inherited Qt Designer code so you can also use it for traditional interfaces.
