How to install game-porting-toolkit (aka proton for macOS)

You also might wanna just use Whisky which does this automatically

This guide works on macOS 13.4+ using Command Line Tools for XCode 15 Beta!

What is this?

In the recent WWDC, Apple announced and released the "game porting toolkit", which upon further inspection this is just a modified version of CrossOver's fork of wine which is a "compatibility layer" that allows you to run Windows applications on macOS and Linux.

extension Task where Failure == Error {

  // Start a new Task with a timeout. If the timeout expires before the operation is 
  // completed then the task is cancelled and an error is thrown.
  init(priority: TaskPriority? = nil, timeout: TimeInterval, operation: @escaping @Sendable () async throws -> Success) {
    self = Task(priority: priority) {
      try await withThrowingTaskGroup(of: Success.self) { group -> Success in
        group.addTask(operation: operation)
        group.addTask {
          try await _Concurrency.Task.sleep(nanoseconds: UInt64(timeout * 1_000_000_000))

libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).

My take-aways are:

• You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.

• Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse

Running Hashcat on Google Cloud's GPU-based VMs

In February 2017, Google announced the availability GPU-based VMs. I spun up a few of these instances, and ran some benchmarks. Along the way, I wrote down the steps taken to provision these VM instances, and install relevant drivers.

Update April 2019: Updated instructions to use instances with the Tesla T4 GPUs.

    float sign_alpha = ((quadrant & 1) == 0) ? radians : M_PI - radians;

    float gamma = rectSize.width < rectSize.height ? atan2(bb.width, bb.height) : atan2(bb.height, bb.width);
    float delta = M_PI - alpha - gamma;
