   Thanks, and thanks for the other long reply :) One thing that confuses me: we were talking about "compiled code", then your answer jumps to talking about shaders. Can all OpenGL code be represented as shaders? Or is the OpenGL cod

   Thanks. So, the generated hardware-specific code emitted by Mesa is then mostly passed on intact by the kernel to the hardware?

   The current title reads "Mesa 20.3 released with out-of-the-box support for [whatever GPU]" Can someone expand on why Mesa needs to "support" specific GPUs? I thought that supporting hardware under Linux was a kernel m

   Everything is great on Windows to pick files/folders. From the linux command-line, I like fzf ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ), that you can instruct to use the faster fd ( https://github.com/ju

    Thanks for the input. I've been monkeying around open source long enough to know veeeery well that "Suggesting [...] is 0.0000001% of the work towards that goal" , and I've been culprit of that myself :) . Still, I lik

    Thanks for the ML digging :) . Agreed, it's worth bringing up again on the mailing list; will do this week and post here a link to my message.

    I agree there would be work to do and policies to establish, but I don't see this as fundamentally blocking. Mistakes can/will be done, and fixed afterwards. It's the beauty of our online worlds.

    Yeah :-/ I know, that's why I'm asking if this can be reconsidered. As a non-English native speaker, I think it's a shame. Rather than read the English translation of Les Misérables, I'd rather read the original Fre

    Standard Ebooks are awesome. If maintainers are seeing this: any plans to publish non-English books? Is there room to collaborate on adding support for it?

    I doubt things are that simple. See my before-last paragraph above: no, regarding hardware video acceleration, even Chrome doesn't do what you describe. What you describe stands for non-video content crashes, which isn't what&#x

    The problem is compositing with the rest of the web page. In VLC you don't have much complexity on top of or around the video (a few buttons, sometimes subtitles or a volume overlay), whereas around a video in a browser you have THE IN

    Yes, the UX is raw for now; hopefully Mozilla will make it simpler to enable after a few versions of testing and confirming it doesn't cause crashes for half the linux userbase. It makes sense to do little early advertising of such a

    Shift-Click on Reply/Compose to switch from text to HTML (or HTML to text if HTML is your default) still works for me. If it doesn't for you, it's a bug.

    Agreed about the flat buttons sadly following the OS-cohesiveness-hindering flatness fad instead of adhering to standard OS styling which can be recognized across apps by users. Disagreed about the To/Cc redesign, the new design is muc

    I think your and OP's perspectives are not exclusive: A. Yes, as you say, taken from a distance and considering the whole development lifecycle from idea to shipping, "compile time isn't really that bad for rust when you con
