Core fonts absolutely support Unicode. My (non-Xft) xterm windows are full of Unicode characters right now. It is true that anti-aliasing is not supported by the X.Org server, although scalable fonts have been for a…
It talks about trimming 'legacy' features and specifically says they are omitting 'font-related' operations. That obviously means no useful core X11 application will work (unless you count xlogo and xeyes). Whether the…
The meaning of 'X server' has been well-established for 30+ years.
If you are not going to implement X11 drawing ops and XRender (which I, and many others, still use heavily), what's even the point? Any 'modern' program that only does client-side rendering already supports Wayland.…
Definiteness has no obvious equivalent in Russian.
>If an English word looks similar to a Russian word, then the stress is likely on a _different_ syllable Most of these are Latin and French loanwords where Russian (same as e.g. German) carried the accentuation over…
>the only way to "fix" the birth rate is to reject humanity (education, urbanization, technology) and retvrn to monke (subsistence farming, arranged marriages, illiteracy, superstition), which no civilized country will…
I’m actually happy about DRAM prices and hope more people share your mindset. This is the only thing that can force developers to start optimizing memory usage instead of externalizing the costs onto the poorest users.
It's absolutely possible to be mistaken about this. The placebo effect is very strong. I'm sure there are countless things in my own workflow that feel like a huge boon to me while being a wash at best in reality. The…
'It's $CURRENTYEAR' is just a cheap FOMO tactic. We've been hearing these anectodes for multiple current years now. Where is this less buggy software? Does it just happen to never reach users?
I am surprised. Does that imply most GNU/Linux users go out of their way to install Chromium actually? Ubuntu and Firefox have a similar market share.
The anti-AI ‘movement’ is a minority like all partisans are a minority. You shouldn’t be comparing them to passive consumers but to enthusiasts who actively demand ‘AI’ in their browser/Paint/Notepad.
It’s easy to bash Mozilla because it is failing. Their usage share is a statistical error, and most of it comes from being shipped with Ubuntu. Firefox badly needs a value proposition beyond not being Chromium-based.
Those are garbage-collected environments. I have some experience with a garbage-collected 'assembly' (.NET CIL). It is a delight to read and write compared to most C code.
High-level languages were absolutely indispensable at a time when every hardware vendor had its own bespoke instruction set. If you only ever target one platform, you might as well do it in assembly, it's just…
My evidence is the git commit log: https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/84460945/#q84481507 This doesn’t even include the XFree86 CVS commit history and older, which accounts for most of the code in X.org. Some of those…
It's part of XInput 2.0 and works as well as it ever did with upstream X.org. The more popular approach to multiseating these days involves logind, udev and two video cards (or drm-lease-manager). Then the two display…
How come 90% of his comments are dead then? This one was too until I vouched for it.
Are you aware you are shadowbanned?
If you decide to move your blog to another platform, are you going to maintain API compatibility?
>In practice, you had to pay for everything. As a private individual, you didn't actually have to pay for anything once you got an Internet connection. Most countries never even tried enforcing copyright laws against…
Given how heavily most C programs lean on type erasure vs. monomorphization and how often they reimplement basic data structures, it's kind of a miracle they hold up against Rust/C++.
>This uses a static variable to have it persist between both the compare function calls that qsort makes and the main call which (potentially) changes its value to be 1 instead of 0 The only misleading thing here is…
>How did people even come to this bizarre conclusion? The first reason is that it is true. All of the best evidence suggests a minor male advantage on g and a major advantage in more specific abilities, such as mental…
You can pre-share the certificate out of band, or set up your browser to TOFU like SSH does. Then they are not useless and may be superior to PKI for certain threat models.
