I've heard that in the UK there are bag boys who even carry it to your car. Is that true and are you then supposed to tip?

I agree, though none of the theme engines I've used regularly crashed. There were two KDE theme engines which managed to crash in their gtk variant, but those had more issues than that. No crashes whatsoever with all of gtk2-engines an

I hope so, though I kinda miss the pervasive use of metadata as in BeFS. That was before its time and such a nice concept. Coupled with saved queries, it's unmatched to this day in mainstream, general purpose file system semantics.

FWIW, I've never had a theme related crash, evidenced by the fact that switching themes did not crash bugs in gtk apps if I encountered any.

I believe 5.7 is planned to be an LTS release.

Am I wrong, or does this sound like GNOME's trying to be a more central runtime and subsume parts of a linux distro in full. If that's true, it certainly doesn't sit well with me, if I consider how and why I've been usin

I use a window manager (or Wayland compositor) with select GUI apps and no desktop environment, so I'm not the customer of the GNOME or KDE projects. I don't have a 4k screen, so the, from my perspective, wasted vertical screen es

I've noticed that some projects don't link statically anymore with Qt 5.6 but others do. I believe the CMake scripts are insufficient while qmake projects works most of the time but also not always. I haven't figured it out.

One thing regarding theming: I quite like theme engines that implement the drawing code in C because there's a lot more flexibility and room for performance. It's also how proper emulations of other operating systems' looks w

Just so I understand, would the ideal goal in that scenario be fat app packages or maybe even statically linked apps? If the API/ABI support scheme as blogged about is adopted, maybe that's the practical solution.

Thanks. Your suggestion sounds correct to me.

Suggestions welcome. I tried to title it more descriptively than the original LWN or blog subjects, but it seems I failed. Sorry.

Does anyone know if Dominic Giampaolo was involved with the design?

by cm3 10y ago
Even though Gtk3 is still riddled with regressions compared to Gtk2, and there's no stable theme interface, and for example the Raleigh theme engine completely broke in 3.20, the GNOME devs seem to have decided to take it to the next l

They even have their internal Haskell compiler which IIUC gets fed a dialect in order to have strict evaluation and a couple other non-standard properties. One nice thing the ecosystem got from their internal team is the official Shake impl

I don't understand what you're replying to. I didn't say curses==unix. Most terminal based applications use curses, therefore the lack of it limits the pool of applications.

Did it work?
652.
by cm3 10y ago
Agreed, and I know, so I should have said my use case is more with plan9port which is used with existing Unix applications. Therefore I had the desire to open a special win in acme that would support some level of tty emulation.

by cm3 10y ago
Cool, hadn't seen that before. Unfortunately, doesn't seem to be in plan9port.

Thanks for the long reply, though I must admit I'm aware of all that. I was hoping for some surprise information. Your comment of it seeming like Unix might be the key point to take away. I know that I'm supposed to search in the

Do you mean Plan9's terminal? If so, the whole point of it is that it's not constrained to emulating TTY.
656.
by cm3 10y ago
What's the curses equivalent? For what it's worth, anything that does more than just print to stdout breaks in 9term.
657.
by cm3 10y ago
It's great terminal emulation doesn't exist in Plan9, but with that you lose 99% of terminal application functionality, especially curses.

GPON isn't used everywhere, but it's used a lot, yes. Still, getting 2.5Gbps, exclusively, with low latency isn't possible with the other connections (yet?).

Shouldn't they have a stock symbol for all the money they appropriated through the years? It's a publicly funded institution, so maybe it should be traded publicly as well.
