I haven't used FreeBSD on laptops. openSUSE is the best best for you I'd say. It's stable enough, had very good package repositories and is used by quite a lot of people. Fedora has the same issues regarding up to date packag

Wow. This entire thread is amazing. Thanks a lot for the links to help me go deeper into the rabbit hole.

Your last paragraph had me intrigued. I'm now wondering what other observations we have that are simply special cases due to low dimensionality.

If you have the time could you try reproducing it on the Firefox Nightly? I'm able to repro on v51 but not on Nightly.

First things first. Set up a VM with Arch Linux, Slackware, Gentoo or if you are feeling adventurous Linux From Scratch. It'll go a long way to help you learn how Linux systems work. (Don't install a graphical environment, plain X

Report them upstream if you have the time. I'm looking to give all popular DEs a chance in an Arch Linux VM pretty soon. Ever since moving to just a window manager (awesomeWM to i3wm) I've not felt the need for a full-fledged desk

And what about adding a million rows to the RDBMS and querying it in under 100ms (which Redis allowed them to do). I will say that it was an implementation bug which doesn't warrant the swapping out of entire data storage layers.

I don't know but doesn't that mean that if a swap file had holes, the kernel will write to the holes hence corrupting any data present in the files stored at those holes? We need a kernel maintainer here.

Performance is unconditionally the same (last time I checked on an 840 EVO) given that the swap file DOESN'T HAVE HOLES. http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_admin/x1762.html

Also the command dc ships with most Linuxes. It is included with the bc package.

KDE Plasma? I haven't used it personally but from looking at the screenshots and videos featuring it, I think it looks good aesthetically. And the trope that KDE is bloated hasn't been true for the past 6 or 7 years too.

There's no performance difference as long as the swap file doesn't have "holes" (meaning that the file is contiguous on-disk). There's the convenience of being able to re purpose the storage as long as swap isn&#x27

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1807/ Kidding aside, I've been able to mistakenly activate other people's Cortana because they didn't take the time to set up voice recognition. It's a great way to e

Most of the Electron apps use multiple processes so you'll want to add up all their instances.

I think he's talking about the Linux console (the VT). GNOME has Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open the VT.

I agree. It's not just limited to software development. Take politics, food or business partners splitting off companies for example. But it's something that has a higher chance of happening in the open-source world than anywhere

First, Mir: I believe fragmentation is a very big issue in the Free Software world. Since both Mir and Wayland wanted to work towards the same goal with minor differences in details, they should have banded together and have had proper disc

The issue contains a link to the related Chromium bug where I think you can follow up. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/24107 I don't know for a fact that it is RDP but it's the common fac

Wow. Thanks. I guess it will work for all git commands (including the clone --recursive) ones? EDIT: Yup. Works great. I'll check with jhbuild and add to the wiki if it works.

Didn't used to work with git submodules back when I tried. It's been quite a long time so I can't say if things have changed.

I tried that at first but the issue was that URLs didn't map perfectly. A url like git://freedesktop.org/harfbuzz.git mapped to https://git.freedesktop.org/projects/harfbuzz.git or something to that

Cool. Arch's gnome-unstable repo ships git master builds for GNOME 3.24. I'm gonna go set it up now.

I'm so happy. The last time I tried setting up a GNOME dev environment I ran into two major issues. Using jhbuild to download dependencies doesn't work if your network blocks git:// URLs. I had to hunt a lot to learn to

Cool. That's something different and useful. Thanks for the feedback.

I think the reason this was created was to see if the Monaco editor (the one OneDrive and Azure use to edit files - it's great BTW) in the browser could be put to use to create a general purpose IDE. Also, stripping down Visual Studio

Servo is quite good actually. If you haven't already, try using browser.html from Mozilla which uses Servo and HTML for the UI.

And the biggest point is, it was a Chromium bug. Recently the Chromium team also breaked special keys (Home, PgDown, PgUp, End, Insert etc.) over RDP which caused a lot of issues for people using VSCode.

Thanks a lot for the information. Could you elaborate a little on that last point of yours? What will the markup be used for? Displaying the information when browsing bookmarks?

I started using OneNote extensively after seeing how Mike Conley (a Firefox dev) uses Evernote to organise bug info, knowledge etc. I personally use it to pick out snippets from podcasts I listen to, some code snippet or a technique I find
