Agreed. I found that the best way to get reliable ops long-term is to mercilessly dive into the code for every issue encountered, and fix it at fundamental level. It takes significant time, but after following this practice for a while, thi

How can I use it? The simplest way seems to be to use the "Celeste" color scheme which implements this. Is this the only way? I'd like to use a dark theme, like the default Monokai.

That is correct, but it doesn't answer the question whether it's Bytes or bits (which makes an 8x difference). Given that the reported values don't care about the "m" (which means "milli" -- clearly doesn&

For clarification, does "mib/s" mean "Mbit/s" (since lowercase b usually stands for bits, and uppercase B usually for Bytes)? If yes, how comes log processing runs at only so low throughput in general? That is

@tptacek I have seen various endorsements of Signal from you, Bruce Schneier, Edward Snowden and so on. I am honestly curious about how this aligns with the fact that Signal * has no tests [1], * has no CI [2]. How can the security of a sof

Please allow swiping the address bar to switch tabs. Otherwise it's just too slow. That is what keeps me away from using Firefox on mobile (15 years Firefox user).

/proc doesn't really tell you much about userspace concerns such as "how much memory has the malloc implementation handed out to the program. It describes only the kernel-userspace parts of memory usage. For example, malloc f

Sure, my patches are linked in the bugs I filed: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24026 - "malloc_info() returns wrong numbers" https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi

Are there functions available with which I can at run-time query how much OS memory is used, how much handed out in allocations, how many mmap()ed pools are used, and so on? I find that one of the most important features of a malloc library

I'm currently working on a "scriptable strace" in Haskell that you can use to inject arbitrary faults via syscall modification. https://github.com/nh2/hatrace I've used it so far to find and determi

Can confirm. For me also sometimes input "buffers up", not showing up for over a second, and then appearing at once. I attribute most of that to the first bug in my list for now, as it freezes everything.

I can confirm both. Often, closing a tab in Chromium simply does nothing. Chromium has lost my tabs multiple times (not by profile corruption, but not restoring them on startup). Firefox hasn't lost my tabs for over 10 years -- one big

> 800 tabs As you commented, most of them are unloaded and only 10-20 are actually "real tabs". Have also tested with less by now, same problem. On Chrome on Android I have more tabs, 16x less RAM and 50x less CPU power, and it

> Why did you reference that last issue? Because it's still happening, also on Quantum. I still see the 5-15% CPU usage on idle. If you strace Firefox, you'll see the syscall spam, even when the browser is apparently fully idle

The Nix package manager can help keeping packages that are not available for your distribution updated and customised ( https://nixos.org/nix/ ). In the past I used to install newer, or customised, versions of e.g. `git`

I don't think so: Full immediate mode rendering on the GPU would require scene graph and application logic on the GPU. People don't do that stuff in shaders or CUDA, because they were neither designed for it, nor is it fast, nor i

You can also do some simple math to arrive at a justification: Assume a 4k x 2k display at 60 FPS. Compute the throughput needed (Bytes per second) to draw an RGB framebuffer. That is: 8M pixels x 3 Bytes x 60 fps = 1.44 GB/s Note how

I've always found the name `assert()` to be particularly bad. Many people do not know that their compilers optimise away assertions in `-O` ("release") builds. They use assertions for control flow and input validation, which
