Seems it's the other way around: the README cites the months older sunset announcement as the motivation.

Haven't seen this - shouldn't this always work on unixy platforms? If using readline/editline it works, and if built without it also works.

Gamescope is custom sw built by Valve, and all the games run under X (via Xwayland). I'd suspect you could build similar functionality without Wayland (for example a custom X server talking to directly to the kernel DRM). I'd wage

Data point: On my current and previous work laptops (iGPU ThinkPads) I switched from the default Wayland back to X11 because of various bugs (hangs, stutters, resume failures), in X11 they don't happen, seems to work flawlessly. Someti

Of course military alliances can be formed after wars start, I'm not saying this couldn't happen in Europe. But it's different to have a military alliance existing responding to a conflict (or better yet preventing the confli

Hey, a bit of civility please. I assume the contradiction you refer to is that EU has this clause but it's still not considered a military alliance? Maybe you read the term differently. It doesn't mean it has zero defense dimensio

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_alliances The EU treaty has a clause that calls for assistance for part of the members (who are not neutral) but there's no military structure outside NATO. There&#x2

That's a heterodox interpretation. Something akin to it was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_European_Union but it's no more.

by fulafel 7mo ago
From military consequences pov, EU isn't a military alliance but it would of course also be attacking NATO.

They do document how to build and run, in the OS specific build docs. Eg this: https://github.com/canonical/multipass/blob/main/BUILD.linux... I think pointing end users to use the end user packaged app

Seems like curious terminology from NV. In estabilished use, SMT means executing instructions from several cpu threads concurrently in the OOO CPU's execution units so they are not starved from work, whereas timeslicing conventionally

Productivity in econ means how many units of output you get, not if they are good. So codegen is productivity in this sens, but not what you want.

Sorry but there's shades of gray between heap allocation and TCP specific free lists in TCP impls. It's not a black and white free list vs malloc API situation. For example in Linux there are middle level abstraction layers in pla

It wouldn't make sense to throw the previous gen machinery to the trash if it can keep making profitable memory. Esp as smaller module capacities become more common now with the price increases. You need to update the chip design for D

Lower density chips are cheaper, because they can be made in previous generation fabs churning out previous generation wafers with previous generation equipment. So there isn't a choice between making a high or low density wafer from t

We're up to hundreds of gbps per server, have been for some years now. Eg 400 gbps uses a lot even with much smaller avg rtt. That's not going ng to be one stream of course, but a zillion smaller streams still add up to the same r

Well, allocating and freeing according to need is reusing. Modern TCP perf is not bottlenecked by that. There's pools of recycled buffers that grow and shrink according to load etc.

by fulafel 7mo ago
Ok. So I guess it doesn't try to go very fast.

You can configure it statically but there used to be the anycast address 192.88.99.1 and the idea was that you'll get routed to the nearest one by magic of BGP. It was retired once native IPv6 deployment took off. Apparently the practi
233.
by fulafel 7mo ago
Yes, TCP is pretty hungry for buffers. The bandwidth*delay product can eat gigs of memory on a server. You have to be ready to retransmit anything that's in flight / haven't received the ack for yet.

by fulafel 7mo ago
How does it deal with all the dynamic TCP buffering things where things may get quite large?
235.
by fulafel 7mo ago
That's completely f'd of course (and unlike any deployment i've seen).
236.
by fulafel 7mo ago
This sounds a lot like what we have in 6to4 (for 25+ years now), where nodes behind two ipv4 derived prefixes can automatically talk to each other p2p, and use a gateway to communicate with the rest of the v6 internet.

Sure, the usages aren't all flawed. But it's far more likely to see "Europe" doing something than "US" doing something in the headlines in similar cases, I feel. Same goes for China, if a couple of companies d

by fulafel 7mo ago
It's a common pattern in HN headlines to assign agency to non-US continents and countries. We hear Europe and China doing stuff all the time as well. It's strange.

Yes indeed. And of course mitigating the climate catastrophe should be much more entrenched, there's vastly more voters whose lives will be impacted by it than by fortunes of the oil business.

by fulafel 7mo ago
This is worrying about trivialities. We need to be rapidly phasing out fossils usage to mitigate the climate catastrophe. Which of course requires a much much smaller supply of oil. There should be ~ $250/barrel cost added to the marke
