One problem they really need to address though is that as soon as you put everything in a single compilation unit, then compilation is single threaded and dog slow. Compilation units maybe make sense for C and C++, but for other languages t

Oh, that looks really neat. No support in mutter yet, though I haven't seen any dismissal either, so who knows if it will eventually gain support.

This is inconvenient for someone writing a custom client as it is yet another feature to support, but it really doesn't matter for anything that involves framerates unless you start to change the cursor every frame or so. Normally you

by yxhuvud 3y ago
Then the cursor doesn't change while it is above the app. You can still move it.

Or even better - remove features and then let someone else implement them.

The stance of EU is clearly that you should not have to do business with Apple to publish to the iPhone. As such, no one forces Apple to do any business with Epic.

They are very intentionally choosing to put that responsibility in the client. It is very irritating and their choice (as opposed to other compositors that support the decoration protocols) is one of the bigger sources of Wayland fragmentat

If it is essential to their business, people can and will try to convince themselves and other people of just about anything, regardless of how ridiculous the arguments are.

Well, that will likely not be a thing due to GDPR.

The customers of Apple pay for their phones. Spotify is not a customer of Apple (more than whatever they buy for their employees). No further payments need to be involved.

Did that guy just categorize EBM as pop/soft? That is .. quite a stretch.

Nice. I can imagine certain ISPs (that I will not shame by name) won't be very happy right now. This really throws a wrench in some proxy models. Good riddance.

I expect it will have effect fairly often - DISTINCT is something less experienced developers often add to fix their bad queries, and generally the first thing I do when I start to improve performance is to rewrite it to not have to do that

You use bundler to manage what dependencies are installed and use that to get a lock file. You also create a .ruby-version file that specify the language version. There are a whole bunch of different tools to select what ruby version, but a

Well, that may explain dragonpope.

Dragonpope was not easy to combine with anything.

Psygnosis managed to do that as well, in the C64 version of Shadow of the Beast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_GdJiEjSho Spelling error is at 5-8 seconds in. As that is kinda the first thing you see, it is quite noticab

> I think if I was to do a Waylabd compositor, a first step would be to put things like window management beyond an IPC boundary, just like with X. Isn't that already the case, by protocol definition? At least compositor and clients

by yxhuvud 3y ago
Yeah, I link against C libs because reimplementing the protocol seemed like a pain in the ass. The prevailing strategy seems to be to generate code based on XML protocol specs, and I'd prefer to avoid that crap. That would probably be

I raise with a wayland client in crystal: https://github.com/yxhuvud/wayland_client Very basic though, you'd have to provide your own functionality to print any text..

Another big reason is the lack of value types in languages like Java. Modern languages with a GC tend to have those, and where it makes sense to use them they help, a lot.
474.
by yxhuvud 3y ago
Well, you'd have to move a whole lot of code generation from load time to compile time, including the stuff based on db layout. So quite a bit of work.

Uh, that sort of depends on what part of EU you are speaking of. The Romance countries does not have the same legal traditions as as the ones based on the English way (even if uk is gone, there are others that share tradition with them), an

More glaring about the claimed performance gain is that they didn't mention what code they ran (as far as I could see). Was it a selected small piece of code or was it a big Django monolith? As I didn't see any mention of what cod

Except that nowadays you can actually do async file IO using io_uring.

There has been a lot of improvements since then, both performance wise and auto-update wise.

The branch does, but not optimizations that could be done, like vectorization.
480.
by yxhuvud 3y ago
And some languages that perform array bounds check on each array deindex operation, which basically stops some of the above even if the optimizer can do all of it. Crystal is an example of that, where it would be possible and quite straight
