It's not strictly speaking "standard library containers", but rather "builtin containers".

You'd have to use an equivalent of `void *` (for Go, it's the empty interface: `interface{}`). However in 99% of the cases the builtin slice and map data structures are enough.

Same as regular URL hash I guess? (Browsers tend to wait a little if they don't find the target)

Is there a way to convert a regular PR to a draft PR?

Indeed, GL is not a Wayland requirement. The core protocol only requires the compositor to support wl_shm (shared memory). Some compositors have a software-only mode (e.g. Weston, and you mentioned KWin).

Sway got support for relative-pointer, but it's unrelated to positioning surfaces.

Wayland doesn't require you to use GPUs. Only wl_shm is in the core protocol, you can build a software-only Wayland compositor without any hacks, with shared memory. By the way, Wayland has nothing to do with drawing text, lines and ic

>macOS doesn't expose fractional scaling to applications, it is done by the output encoder by scaling the entire framebuffer. For software, it is strictly integer only. Wayland works the same way.
193.
by emersion 8y ago
No matter how you implement fractional scaling, it's not going to look good. The reason is simple: half pixels don't exist. If an app wants to draw a 1px solid border, it can't draw it on a 1.5 scaled display because 1.5 pixe

There are already ways to do this on Wayland, e.g. xdg-desktop-portal. It's just that those clients don't support it yet. This is more of a client bug than a Mutter bug.
195.
by emersion 8y ago
Note that Mutter already draws decorations for X11 windows. There's also a standardized Wayland protocol to make the compositor draw window decorations. It's just that GNOME doesn't like server-side decorations, from a design

POSIX sh is your safest bet for portable, interpreted code.

Their driver is really behind in terms of supporting newer libdrm features. It's also not well integrated in the ecosystem. They basically don't talk to the other Linux graphics devs.

Nouveau are doing their best to reverse-engineer cards. NVIDIA doesn't help at all, not providing any docs and not interacting with the rest of the community. On the other hand, Intel and AMD have high-quality drivers and are part of t

Note that as opposed to xtrace and Wireshark, it isn't a proxy. It either parses libwayland's output or is a GDB plugin that integrates with libwayland.

Alpine is a pretty good standalone distribution IMHO. Main upsides are musl and apk, which makes it lightweight and fast.

by emersion 8y ago
If you use Alpine releases, you'll get older packages than if you use edge. In general edge packages are pretty up-to-date. Though, they do have issues with alpine-aports patches (alpine-aports is their package repository scripts). The

Maybe asking a hash to the notary will actually make the notary fetch and hash the package if it doesn't know about it yet? (Related: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18717766 )
