   From the java section: > A vector of bytes uses significantly more than one byte per byte. There is still the option to use an array of bytes (the primitive data type, not the class Byte) if the performance of boxing/unboxing is a p

   Sounds more like phantomjs/casperjs.

   I guess you would do something like: cat /dev/screen | pngenc > foo.png

   Is this actually implemented server-side on any networks?

   That discussion escalated quickly.. What i got from the thread is that systemd will only work with glibc, intentionally? If that's the case then it's kind of sad. Since systemd will become the standard glibc will be the only alter

   I like linus comment[0] about a workaround on the issue in your 3rd link. [0]: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1404.0/01331.html

   The issue with drivers is a bit interesting. I wonder what pulseaudio does that alsa doesn't.

   There are already several similar issues in their bug tracker with no resolution. These all seem similar to what i've been experiencing: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46350 https://bugs.freede

    I still use ALSA on my desktop system due to weird issues that only happen with PulseAudio. I still don't trust Lennart, even though systemd looks nice from what i've seen.

    I think a saner default would be to not start daemons on install. It's one of the reasons CentOS has grown on me. The biggest annoyance is the lack of consistency. Some daemons start on install, others do not. Some use an /etc&#x2

    I don't disagree with swap being helpful in some (maybe most?) cases. But there are cases where it clearly does more harm then good. I had a postgresql datbase server with a lot of load on it. The server had loads of ram, more than wha

    So, if your working set (files, application memory, etc) fits in memory, how does swap not introduce latency?
14. 44.▲
    by dale-cooper 12y ago

    For a desktop with sufficient amount of memory swap is just bad from my experiences. When i was using swap on my desktop system, which i usually have running 24/7, i'd often come back in the morning to find that linux decided to s

    I think the main issue is that hardware companies in general really suck at writing software.

    I really want to like firefox, but it is just so much slower/unresponsive than chrome. Is this something specific to my setup? I tried this new version out on a clean profile and compared it to chrome: http://fixme.se/p

    Does anyone have a cheap VPS provider to recommend for this? I usually use digital ocean but from what i hear, most of their ip space is blocked everywhere due to spam issues.

    Interesting. How would these failures manifest themselves for a user?

    I've often wondered how hard this would be, there's a lot of games released for OSX that aren't released at all for linux that you could play with a piece of software like that. Feels like it should be easier than implementin

    Could just take debian/ubuntu, remove all library dependencies from all packages and recompile them statically i guess. Not really sure if it's worth it. There's nothing stopping you from running something like debian stable and then manual

    I think that's more towards some kind of integration testing. You're supposed to test one unit independently, and then write integration tests that actually tests that the whole system works. Not saying that's the best way but i think that'

    That's quite interesting, i had no idea! What i was hoping for was some kind of term for one character or symbol and use that as a unit, but perhaps it's impossible to create an abstraction like that. I'm curious if a Sanskrit speaker would

    by dale-cooper 14y ago

    Yes. What i'm saying is that it would feel less error prone if the character object was actually a codepoint. It's a leaky abstraction, you shouldn't need to handle something that is tied to the internal representation of strings in the jvm

    The UCS-2 heritage is kind of annoying. In java for example, chars (the primitive type, which the Character class just wraps) are 16 bits. So one instance of a Character may not be a full "character" but rather a part of a surrogate pair. T

    Me too. And at least when i got mine it was lighter than the air but with way more performance. Only two negatives, the fans can be quite loud and the windows driver situation is horrible, but i use linux so it's not an issue for me.

    AMD graphics supported by the open source driver should work pretty well (unless you need 3d performance). The proprietary driver is complete shit though.

    Well, it feels like asymmetrical connections are still more common so it should not get better?
