Regardless of whether memory was externalised, it’s still the case that it was lost internally, that much is true. If you really care about having a great internal memory then of course you’ll think it’s a downside. So we’ve externalised me

Strange that so many of our customers at Qt use Qt Quick if it’s as useless as you say it is

Not just politically bad but I read through the authors contributions to X11 that got him banned and they were full of random renamings and irrelevant refactorings that seemed to have no reason to be there other than to look like he was cha

Mainly random lisp errors being thrown in certain cases, likely just unimplemented functionality, I didn't record them since there are so many. I probably see one every other day but usually it's somewhat outside of the normal ope
