   For me personally apt is just annoyingly slow, but dnf is much worse. I've seen how fast APK is and I feel, that my distro of choice (Void) has a package manager (XBPS) that is maybe slightly slower than it. I sometimes wonder if it is

   What would be best probably is for them to run in the random order, but the output would be sorted always the same.

   I'm no Rust expert, but it would be ok if you would do borrows there. let x = compute_x(); f(&x); g(&x); Otherwise you have moves there. Now it depends on the API, it may want the value and not the reference (a borro

   When I was actively developing my text editor my favorite test file was made by concatenating all .c, .h and .S files from Linux kernel, which at the time made it a 542MB file with almost 20M lines. It was funny to see how some editors stru

   I used Gentoo for my desktop around 15 years ago. It was a bit dumb in retrospect, but I learned a lot. Now I think that Gentoo works best as a base to create your own distribution (duh!). It is a meta-distribution after all. If you build o

   I would like QGIS to have a REPL with autocompletion. Where do people with QGIS knowledge hang out (especially devs)?

   I think of doing something like this, but I'm afraid my problem is that I'm self-directed and my motivation comes from within. Working for someone makes it again a job and making me fix problems someone else have created within li

   For fun use something you already know. Download needed stuff and offline documentation, then cut the Internet cable.

   Most work on making things faster is to give a shit.

    I guess it is a solution to Yocto build directories being huge while having lots and lots of duplicates. I thought about a filesystem layer that would do dedup like this and this seems to be a solution for the problem.

    If I can go on another tangent I would just like to recommend Octonauts. It is charming, funny and clever show. My 5 year old daughter loves it and she would like to have a Tweak costume. I can't stand many kid shows, but this one even

    I wonder how much of it is related to how Python is being used for short running scripts more than Ruby, at least in my experience. In such cases startup time is more important than being faster in a long run.

    I've got an idea to allow comments to be appended to the HTML and counting on the fs implementation synchronization, so only allow comments around 4k (or whatever is prooved to be safe) for a complete single append. It would require th

    I don't understand why and don't know when spaces were started to be used for indentation. It never made sense for me. Your code editor surely supports setting tab width if you are not happy with the default. If the answer is vert

    As far as I can see it is not yet done. It is not in the current mainline. When it will go in I would certainly like to revisit.

    I did a simple benchmark to test how fast forking is: https://gist.github.com/hadrianw/ad07a76f338f09565703ae6ea35... It tested in a loop fork/exec and vfork/exec for a dynamic binary and for a static binary

    I must check whether placing a mouse on laptop's screen would work. As the screen blanks out would it register as a move and the system would not lock itself?

    I recall that each revision of C++ is there to make the std nicer and remove language limitations. The problem is always backwards compatibility. What makes Rust different?

    I'm not exactly skinny as I have some muscle mass, still I'm pretty thin. I do not have to think about restricting calories and I'm still that way. I do not like to eat much sweets, I preferred a schnitzel since I was a child

    I think you overestimate net joy brought by Pixar. Some people watched a movie and were entertained for the duration of the movie, some were moved by it and it lead to a couple of hours worth of joy more. Some did not understand the message

    Last year I was thinking about a FUSE filesystem that would help keep downloads directory more organized. But I think that maybe using fanotify or inotify could work better for it. Probably there exist something like it. Other FS I had in m

    If it is reproducible I assume bit by bit the same from the same sources. Build date then seems irrelevant as you only need to date/version source. Also I think a metadata file could be put aside as an optional thing.
