Phoronix: The GNOME Shell Calendar Will Stop Over-Consuming The CPU, Eating Up Battery Life

For the past five months there has been a bug report affecting the likes of Pop OS 19.10 and Fedora 31 over the GNOME Shell Calendar server using "20~25% CPU all the time" and "every 2-3 seconds or so there is a CPU usage spike where the calendar processes eat something like 20-25% of the CPU." That is significant on modern CPUs as well as on battery life for laptops while finally the issue has been fixed...

Well, that happens if you happen to focus on brainfuck, python and such stuff instead of writing effective code with efficient tools.

What that has to do with the issue? It was just bad code. No programming language in the world can fix stupid, and in fact, stupid is worse the lower level you go....

Everyone is stupid. Those who think they're not are in for a real treat at some point lol.

That’s about the last fix needed..

The one where a single process was using over 20% of your cpu all the time? Good thing it only took them 5 months. I mean, any longer than five months and it would almost seem not worth using.

So, what is your definition of efficient tools and examples of effective code, where this would never happen? Please provide some examples and enlighten us with your wit. Nobody is impressed by your hand waving.

Make GNOME great again.
I once had a dream
Ich bin ein XFCE User
Ninety-nine percent of failures come from people who make GNOME
The only thing we have to fear is GNOME
Never waste a minute thinking about desktops you don’t like
Yes we scam

The merge request has a milestone for gnome 3.38. Is it also going into 3.36? It would be a shame to have this issue for the next 6 months..
