Saw this paper via Reyk Flöter's tweet [1] noting work done in OpenNTPD around constraints [2]. [1] https://twitter.com/reykfloeter/status/1357311912623689729 [2] https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-

Yup, my only major gripe is with Spotify matching the volume from my desktop (application level) to my phone (system level) and vice versa. I've seen lots of reports of this "feature" being more of a bug and reporters being t

I'm on the fence about this, I don't think Bram or other Vim devs are malicious towards Neovim. But the repeated implementation of equivalent features with incompatible APIs (terminals, async, and now faster scripting) doesn'

See the "PHASING OUT INTERFACES" section of the link in my comment for Vim's reasoning of moving away from this. Personally I broadly agree with it as I've seen many people struggle setting up plugins that depend on othe

I'm really not a fan of the decision to overhaul Vim script. It seems this is driven from a desire for Vim script to be faster [1]. I've not needed Vim script to be "faster" but I don't use very complex plugins. Tha

The post doesn't specify requirements or application level targets for performance. They show a couple of good latency improvements but don't describe the business or technical impact. The closest we get is this. > If this data

This is a very high level overview and ideally I would have liked to have seen more application level profiling, e.g. where time is being spent (be it on CPU or IO) within the DB rather than high level system stats. For example the followin

Yes! Sadly a lot of people skip over this despite vimtutor pointing to it at the end. Copy/paste below as the text doesn't need paraphrasing, but also because a lot of comments here seem to be advocating vimtutor as something more

Not to be snarky but OpenBSD's random system has always seemed very elegant to me and seems like such a system could avoid this failure mode in systemd, video[1], slides[2]. That said it's good that the faulty RDRAND was discovere
