Most of your points are about the Linux-distributions issues. If Haiku was built on top of the Linux kernel, Gnome/Qt wouldn't matter but Wayland and the Limewire stack would probably be reused though.

And it's so much easier to write several hundreds of drivers for the Haiku kernel instead of one 'desktop user' scheduler for Linux.. /S

A copy of the repo really? I just check in everything in a new commit then write the SHA1 somewhere.

Except that AFAIK currently all the successful trials have been done with magnetic levitation..

Emacs/Vim are fast, SpaceMacs/SpaceVim are slow. And buggy for spaceVim I would add.

And yet given that git is the current "default" VCS, it's very important that this is/will be "as smooth as possible".. I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to memorize "git order" of patches when

1) "Go to" as in "visit" like we did for the Moon or "go to" as in stay there? 3) No, the multiverse in an "interpretation" of QM, it isn't a solution, it brings no additional facts. So per Occam

Interesting but you must also take care of the CPU caches..

That's easy to create election rules which doesn't induce a "two party" system, but how do you convince the current winners of the current system to change the election rules?

29000 transistors? But it's the same as an ARM2 which apparently was full 32bit and had an integer multiplier.

Trying currently to lose weight: the reason why I don't 'like' this answer is because I don't track my food intake closely enough to be able to know what removing 10% means. So I guess that the first step is write everyt

Sure but then you waste time bisecting the commit which introduced the issue.. I wonder if the bissection couldn't be automated also in the CI.

I nearly down voted you.. But here you go: a language is a tool, you can make it as simple as Lisp or you can add complexity but the complexity must be there for a reason. Making languages users remember whether + has higher precedence than

The dismantling cost has been factored in but given that they don't manage to reliably estimate construction costs I don't see why the estimate of the dismantling cost would be more accurate..

While Java was obviously well funded, its early focus was definitely on marketing and making lots of new features even though the existing features were very buggy.. It was very weird fighting against the buggy standard library while hearin

But I don't see the link between a 'different kind of VCS' like Unison is and a language..
498.
by renox 5y ago
Except that Unison created its own language which makes pretty sure that they are doomed to fail.. I don't know if there is a technical reason for the new language or if it's NIH syndrome.

Unfortunately in big companies, pointing in the right direction isn't good enough: then you have to fight inertia, inter-team, inter-site disputes to finally do the right things :-(

Lack of portability: the 'standard' Pascal was very limited and each implementation added its own incompatible extension. So when a free C compiler was released..

I'm not it's a Qt issue: it could be a lack of hardware acceleration on Linux's GPU driver..

One similar thing that I've always wanted is 45° angled mirrored swimming pool glass: this would allow to see incoming swimmers without having to get my head above the water (I like swimming with a snorkel)

Floats are really a poor representation for reals, float-intervals like Frink does are much cleaner but our FPU/SIMD sucks for these kind just think about changing the rounding very often..

Nice explanation, thanks for correcting my mistake.

I've tried BeOS a looonnng time ago (it was very responsive but it didn't have software) but I don't remember anything specials about menus, care to refresh my memory?
507.
by renox 5y ago
Not really, it's a social reason not a technical reason: those who are 'hardcore enough' to build a 'BeOS shell' like to 'own' their kernel too.. From an 'time to release' POV it'll take muc

Unfortunately that's too simple: imagine a collusion with a low orbit satellite which explodes, some part of the debris will be boosted to an higher height..

VScode sometimes shows me the wrong file for the function definition (very nasty also when it's the 'right' file from the wrong git worktree). Remote view loose all the opened tabs very often. Once, I suspected a bug in the l

That's funny: I thought you were a proponent of exceptions because I read (a lot of years ago) a mail from you which said "who is going to check that printf failed"? And this remain true: a lot of things can fail (arithmetic
