FYI NetFlix uses FreeBSD for the content delivery platforms i.e. caches that are setup up usually at their ISP's, its one of their most business critical...

Yup https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner...

There is nothing wrong with pre-generated/compiled code, software projects do it all the time. Whether to include that precompiled code in the tree/vcs...

[mdedetrich]

I don't know and I don't care, this kind of security for desktop systems in my view is a solution looking for a problem because there are so many easier...

[mdedetrich]

I guess you can say is what has changed is that Linux is less of a hobby/toy project now, which means if they say they support something they really mean...

[mdedetrich]

I think he was implying using X11. Anyways NVidia's driver is known not to work well on Wayland and thats because Wayland + other parts of Linux graphics...

[mdedetrich]

These figures are like a decade old, lol. Its a lot higher now, its actually Windows thats losing out....

[mdedetrich]

Its only Apple that has this power to force app developers to update, with Windows they just have insane backwards compatibility....

[mdedetrich]

Not to detract for your general point but this is a terrible analogy. The reason why Vulkan is better than OpenGL even though you have to write more code...

[mdedetrich]

Right but any compatibility mode is going to be substantially lower than using the native instruction set so not sure what point you are making here....

blackiwid I would just stop responding, when oiaohm gets into this mental state its just never ending arguing and strawmans with no end.

[mdedetrich]

oiaohm I don't know why you are still arguing with me, its basically a fact that higher FPS/refresh rate leads to better performance in games and people...

[mdedetrich]

Understood, basically whats been talked about here https://www.collabora.com/news-and-b...-gap-on-linux/...

[mdedetrich]

I'm sorry this is wrong, they have done tests with professional CS:Go players and the ones with higher FPS/refresh rate monitors consistently consistently...

[mdedetrich]

How does this make sense, fundamentally speaking the API design of Vulkan is explicit sync or am I missing something?

Or are you talking...

[mdedetrich]

This is the way.

If you can push/handle a lot of frames then having tearing is fine because you will almost never notice it due to how many...

[mdedetrich]

From what I have read on the mailing list, there is nothing fundamental about BTRF's design that makes them unable to fix the write hole,...

[mdedetrich]

That kind of attitude only works if people act in good faith and they are consistent with applying the rules.

This is definitely not the...

[mdedetrich]

I don't think its an ego thing, Kent has been developing bcachefs out of tree for almost a decade now and he apparently has clients that are already running...

[mdedetrich]

These problems (which are overstated, and some of which are going to be solved i.e. de-duplication/memory management which are Linux specific integration...
