It's not the same as C++ template errors. This is something that will directly cause a segfault in your code, that the Rust compiler is able to catch; AFAIK no C++ compiler would be able to catch that.

I just tried that in nightly and it seems to work? Not sure what the issue with that is.

That's one of the reasons I won't do game development anymore, the industry as a whole is still very hostile to the idea of open source. I don't see that changing any time soon.

Again I don't think that's a correct assessment, Guix actually does have some overlap with systemd because they decided to put some containerization things there. In Nix, this would be delegated to systemd. I also wouldn't sa

I really doubt anyone is going to revive those old legacy widgets. That style of widget is flawed and predates MVC-style design, you'll find it becomes very impossible to present non-string data with that tree. Most applications now wi

That seems like a strange interpretation. That post says he is owed a debt of gratitude.

I don't know about other places, but here I don't agree that it wasn't for technical reasons. To me it seems like one of the key differences between them. Guix wants to have all the package and service definitions written in

I can't say I agree with your assessment. As someone who has used both, there are a lot of nice things in systemd that aren't really present in GNU shepherd (yet?)

For Go, Rust, Haskell, autoconf, CMake, you would invoke the meson and ninja commands as part of your build process. You can't use them in the same exact way as meson subprojects, but these are just shell commands. It's the standa

I don't have any particular opinion on the best way to do this, but from those comments by the tilix developer, it doesn't seem like the approach taken by vte-ng was the right one either. From the VTE maintainer's perspective

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the toplevel window controls like close, minimize, maximize. There is currently no way to make all the widgets render using the Win32 API to look like Windows widgets. You probably don&#x

Where is meson not a choice, when it's already needed to build gtk? Projects written in other languages would still probably want to have it as a subproject and then invoke meson as part of the build process to build gtk, you wouldn&#x

I'm sorry to hear that. I'll reiterate that if someone was rude and hostile to you, that would probably be considered a code of conduct violation, and it would be appreciated if that was reported so it doesn't happen again.

Why can't you static link against that libgtk_static target that already exists? That should be accessible if you have gtk as a meson subproject. It doesn't actually look like anything special needs to be done here.... I'll b

I don't meant to say it doesn't have bugs, of course it does. Every project has bugs. As with all open source, submitting patches to fix those bugs will usually go farther than patiently waiting and hoping that another volunteer w

That seems to be over simplifying, every database is "just running a loop over a list stored in RAM." The challenge is in how you build that list, and then with a GUI the challenge becomes how to display it. Win95 had to run in ve

At least from my read of the gitlab issues, I don't think anyone is saying that the current solution doesn't have problems. The idea is to get those problems fixed instead of ditching the current solution entirely, or making it an

I'd love to see the source code to the Win95 and Win98 file managers, maybe we can copy some of the performance tricks.

> Again, the point is that type-ahead is an operation on the directory entries that are cached in the file manager's memory. It does not touch the file system at all. So would a simple search in that folder? I don't see what is

by zxzax 5y ago
If you're set on linear search then you would see the same performance for a simple search box too, I don't see how type-ahead changes it. For big folders you will still need an index, imagine now you sorted the list by reverse al

Until global file indexing became a thing built into operating systems, every file manager was slow to open and sort directories with a lot of files. At least that was my experience. An index is still needed to do type-ahead, at minimum you

by zxzax 5y ago
If you don't preload the folder contents and index it then type-ahead will also be arbitrarily slow there too. I don't know of any Linux filesystem that stores the files sorted and indexed on disk. >And how does that support yo

From what I have seen, I don't believe they ever intended to support those apps that didn't provide decorations. The move towards CSD was intentional for them and started 10 years ago, and supporting those CSD apps is the primary

No, I'm just an app developer who used GTK recently and noticed that a lot of what people say about it is based on out-of-date information. My experience really wasn't that bad, progress is being made and issues are being addresse

I don't see how that is entitled. If you have technical arguments for why you disagree then I'd love to discuss that. Qt linking against GTK is not such a strange idea either, I believe at one point there was GTK theme engine for
