Sorry, i meant that it is buggy. Specifically the line\* drawing functions. I filled a 22x22 window with segmented lines and it blanked the window. A line across the leftmost pixels on the window (x=0) behaves differently then anywhere else

If your goal is quiet and quiet alone, i would suggest a good cooler. A cooler master hyper 212 is really quiet. I thought data centers are going for ARM cpu's now, as shoveling data is not all that cpu intensive ?

It's not just downloading. Websites come with css (not that big of a problem) and JS (big problem). All that has to be processed by the browser. I found that websites sometimes pull css and js bundles (as in whole ones, even over 20kB

OSX, IOS and "NetworkManager"(linux) do that. Thing is that it is usually useless. Only instance where you would even send a package (thus showing your MAC) when searching is if you were searching for a hidden AP. Funny that Mic

No point in speculating. I showed you how. Go test it. Even the fastest SSD is not even near the speed of /dev/zero. Easy to extrapolate any speed from those two points (minus the filesystem overhead (the thing we are talking abou

First i looked at who made the paper (since it is right there on the first page) and thought "oh, this should be detailed and objective". But alas it was neither... Android cares about POSIX about as much as Windows. Programs that

Thing is that.. JS is usually broken, the world is usually unfair, IoT has proven itself to be usually shit and most frameworks are bad. Xerox is not a small startup that just wants to make printing easier. Even if it was, at least s

Somewhat off-topic: Are Cisco products worth the money ? Personally i haven't had that much experience with their stuff, but i remember seeing a brand new router running hot with two fans blowing in it (other routers at the time were 2

Xfce, kde (possibly unity, maybe enlightenment) can do the former. Dmenu (probably unity, kde, other standalone programs) and enlightenment can do the latter (Enlightenments Everything launcher is amazing).

It is rare to see something come out of Fedora that is not NIH. As for all the mentioned package/image managers, IMO they all bring more problems then solutions (except maybe nix). Dependency resolution brings sloppiness and keeping

From one (or more) of the comments here you can see that the reasoning for rust in topics about C is "everybody should write rust instead of C". At least for some people. One other comment got it right, it is annoying to have mult

If you ask me rust is also not for programming systems. (the error handling specifically) Side note: Who even started the whole "x is a system programming language" ? Who said you can't write "system software"[0] in

Worth reading is the builtin documentation ("h" or F1). More things there like memory used in virtualization, T, Z and D for processes, and "l" and "s" commands. I like these visual explanations though.

In some things it is, while in some things it ain't. In some things haskell is better then bout, in some things it ain't. In fact the same could be said about most programming languages. But that is not the point...

Do you have any real objections to what i said ? Did i even mention systemd or any sysvinit ? Polkit is on systems with and without systemd. And, if you just have to pull sysvinit into it, shell scripts are simple (note that permissions

The problem is that you have many things to configure instead of just one. That is a problem as we humans have a limited capacity for remembering things. On top of that polkit is basically javascript and xml (i think), and one can not expec

Similar story here. Running is good, great in fact. As long as you run properly and on soft ground, that is. If you can swim somewhere i would recommend that instead as it is easier on the joints. Exercise will also give you an appetite, of
