I've never used i3, but I've tried sway and it works, though isn't at feature parity with i3. It's usable though. And as I wrote in a sibling comment, Xwayland integration is even more buggier in libwlc (used by way-cool

by cm3 10y ago
I wish they had picked libweston instead because it's less buggy and Xwayland integrations has less problems as well. You can get libweston the 1.12 release (aka current git master or the new release in probably two weeks). There'

No, DRI3 is default in Arch and with that there's also heavy tearing, and I must enable tearfree plus vsync. DRI3 actually has a weird bug when opening a video with mpv, where you can watch for a split second how a small rectangle is r

Two issues with that, the atomic modesetting regressions are in the DRM part. Also, I've tried the generic modesetting X11 drivers, and that one's very bad, does heavy tearing and is unusable on my machines. The best setup right n

Please focus on reducing and avoiding regressions in the Intel gpu stack. It's gotten pretty bad in the last two years. Major regressions were introduced beginning with kernel 4.2's atomic modesetting changes, across the board.

This is cool and validates Rust, but I just want to add that even 2kb stacks as mentioned in sibling comments is bigger than Erlang's process stacks. In Erlang 19.0.3, even with dirty-schedulers enabled, a process's default size i

Hehe, sure, and you could say Android is HiptopOS-the-next-generation. FWIW, I've also omitted Travis's Jawbone work. I mean, it was very public where Travis worked after Be, but I didn't really know what you have been up to,

Hmm, Travis Geiselbrecht of NewOS, Danger and BeOS fame and Brian Swetland of BeOS fame as well? Interesting.

Hehe, sure. with so many of new drives being optimized for write-once, read-often, it's important to know that from the announcements. Otherwise, people will get hopes high, thinking they can have 100TB random access flash drives in a

Which of these are read optimized drives? I know that the 100TB announcement this week (forgot the vendor) was optimized for writing once and mostly reading, kinda like for cold storage ala SMR.

Threading is more important today than it was in the past, because there are more and more people who have no idea how to use email or a discussion forum. Gmail and Discourse are partially to blame for when users quote nothing when answerin

That there are no threads to follow per se and you have to come up with filters of your own to create a view of the wall of text is something that failed me anytime I tried to use IRC. With email threads or spontaneous XMPP topic group chat

I much prefer that I can choose my client, be it pidgin, emacs, mutt, irssi, thunderbird, you name it. Web interfaces are limited in functionality, give me little control how my client works, and I'm at the whim of a server operator. M

Thanks for sharing how you use it, seems like there's no real async mode for IRC. So I guess my preference for mailing lists or XMPP isn't just personal taste.

by cm3 10y ago
For obvious reasons I don't consider web clients a reliable solution, but it's a practical alternative when away from your desk.

I never could use IRC because it's hard to sift through the noise. I have the same issue with group chats as implemented in Slack, but at least Slack can be accessed with an XMPP client, meaning I can get asynchronous delivery of messa

It seems that WebCrypto is already implemented in browsers. Does this library make use of it, or is it pure JavaScript? If so, why is that? Most crypto algos are susceptible to side channel attacks, and trying to get that right in JavaScrip

There should be a warning that on first start of intero-mode, this will initiate a rather long stack operation, which I suppose is extra long if you hadn't used stack before. Also, it seems to insist on a stack'ised project. But I

We don't seem to know what teams the negative reports are from, so may I ask what your division or team is, given your positive experience?

I know very well how little of the flexibility exists for most developers around the world, but I explicitly asked how Amazon can be a good opportunity in Seattle. I'm curious what the benefits are, since there are so many negative rep

Let's assume the rants are true for the most part. How is it possible that so many people work for Amazon despite the antics, especially in Seattle where it should be possible to get a similar job elsewhere. Are there benefits people w

HN's lack of sections is the real problem. So much interesting stuff gets submitted and drops off the first page of NEW because there is only so much stuff that can get to the front page. subreddits solve this, and another problem is t

ls -p and -F are still useful. Removing -p and -F is similar to removing 3d widgets from user interfaces and then wondering why users don't know what is an interactive ui element in modern UIs (which happen to look like Windows 1.0). I

The only reliable way to find out who uses a feature is to release with it removed. And that is the problem.

Seriously, git is overused, actually misused, in places where it's a bad fit, just because we know it and it resembles some desired characteristics of the problem at hand. This then leads to package indexes which periodically cull the

Github uses pdf.js for that, so it's not more or less secure than viewing it with Firefox's built-in viewer.
