Actually, if you build GTK3 yourself, it doesn't need anything more than a current default GTK2 distro package does, but you'll lose features like colord support. My experience is with Gentoo USE flags, but I believe FreeBSD ports

And even if you don't use GNOME3, Gtk3 is now required by Firefox, including Firefox gtk3 bugs, which will be fixed in Firefox. Most importantly the many regressions of Gtk3 itself. Gtk3 was a good refactoring to support Wayland and Hi

I was curious to know what FreeBSD versions NVidia supports, and I cannot believe it's 7.3 to 10-CURRENT. This makes me believe they will quickly follow up with 11-CURRENT. This is very cool in terms of FreeBSD's kernel API. http

I've just auto-mirrored a few projects to GitLab and I must say the CI integration is great. I have still to figure out thinks like using a repo-specific dockerfile as an image (because gitlab-ci uses docker images), how to avoid re-do

As an answer to sibling comments: if your Emacs clone doesn't support elisp, then it's not a replacement because the elisp code out there is the #1 selling point of Emacs. And much of that elisp code exists because the editor is a

I meant replacing the VM, not the Lisp dialect. The value of Emacs is the elisp code available and the platforms it runs on. I don't think there are many users who like the underlying Lisp implementation's runtime behavior.

Maybe this can be the basis for what guile-emacs has promised but not yet delivered. If this gets elisp support, it could turn into a viable replacement.

Odd, isn't Quartz completely made of scalable vectors, including images? I mean, it's a derivative of Display PostScript.

You're very much right and I agree that modern designs like making stuff flat is a huge step backwards. If you want to remove 3d widgets, then at least implement mouse over highlighting so that one can see what can be interacted with.

The features are all listed, but just by glancing over the site it's not clear what extra features are provided on gitlab.com for open source projects that would require webhooks to external services on github and the associated securi

Yes, automatic connectors would solve a lot. Some users might insist on a bidirectional solution, though it's not necessarily a requirement. In fact, I personally wouldn't want Gitlab to request permission to modify the github cop

It's not primarily about the platform being open source, but relying on a SPOF. It's dangerous and empowers Github to pull all kinds of stuff while they have the marketshare. Today's github may not do shady things, but tomorr

This seems to have coincided with a practical cause to look for a new place: But now that we have to leave Mac OS Forge anyway, it makes sense to convert to git and take the opportunity to do some much needed and overdue restr

by cm3 10y ago
It would be nice if git would know of multiple remotes in such a way that one could ask it to pull from a random one or fall back to one of the others if the selected is unreachable. Like DNS records for a host. This would be an improvement

Given that Gitlab provides a superset of Github's features, it's possible to operate on both platforms, while clearly indicating where the primary location is. Gitlab has built-in CI, so that can be used exclusively there, and it

Given the new crash-proof video driver architecture since Windows 8 and the variety of USB devices and their associated complexity, I had assumed the USB stack would be equally crash-proof by now. Isn't that the case? I recall they did

When Microsoft laid off much of their test dev teams 1 or 2 years ago, was the plan to roll out beta code to everyone and outsource QA? Genuine question. I mean, if they're serious about this, making Windows open source would make sens

I wouldn't say Python is more accessible. Considering this will be used by first time programmers who just want to design to print, and given that Scheme has less semantic baggage than Python, I'd wager that it's a better cho

And the reason this is more prevalent on QNX is that it's a microkernel based platform. Here, in Linux, there's the debate what should be allowed into the kernel, whereas that question is pretty much never asked for QNX. You also

And the metadata support was instantaneous, without noticeable overhead or delays. I mean, your query windows would live update as you would expect them to. Despite faster machines, this doesn't feel as instant on Linux, OS X or Window
