Tbh, proper allocation is just impossible to treat in a generic way and still end up with best results. Irl it's probably the primary candidate for P...

[bug77]

That info needs more context to be relevant. It is possible for an allocator to reserve memory in advance when it detects frequent allocations. It will...

[bug77]

I have a feeling that's not an issue in this case. I would hope anyone that can understand what an allocator does and why they'd need one or the other,...

[bug77]

Since this is just a library for others to build apps, I'm guessing the release isn't that interesting for end-users.
Is there a list of apps making...

[bug77]

Funny, but Ubuntu actually goes to some lengths to ensure a good multimedia experience out-of-the-box. Whatever they can't legally distribute is just...

[bug77]

Trust me, I've been on (K)Ubuntu for over 10 years. For the needs of a developer, everything is old in there, I needed quite a bunch of PPAs to the point...

[bug77]

Ha, that's why I got hit with 2,500+ updated packages today. The update itself went fine, even if it took ~1h. Mostly to download everything.

[bug77]

That's my problem with Ubuntu: it's stable because it never really updates everything. You want something more recent than whatever is frozen in their...

[bug77]

This isn't breakage, it's just unceremoniously overwriting user's settings.
Fwiw, I've been using WirePlumber on Arch for months and it's working...

[bug77]

Whatever streaming issues you may have, they're not because of poor drivers, but because of poor implementations. Linux drivers are plenty capable of...

[bug77]

My understanding is, while the 515 driver supports all those cards, you won't be offered the option to use the open source driver unless you're on Turing...

[bug77]

That "unspellable" name is just the French word for "new" ...

[bug77]

I've always said they're not evil and they will go open source when it makes sense from a business point of view. And here's them proving me right.

[bug77]

So... is this going to be a platform that just goes "you don't have Intel's management extensions, you're not secure"?

[bug77]

Waiting for Plasma to implement Wayland support is like waiting for Achilles to overtake the tortoise. Only irl, Achilles did it.

[bug77]

It probably has something to do with wlroots being written in C, whereas KDE is C++. And it also depends on where wlrrots was when KDE's Wayland efforts...

[bug77]

This is pipelined work. It doesn't mean the current version gets no attention anymore, if someone started thinking about laying the ground work for the...

[bug77]

That's different tough. Libraries always stick with the lowest version possible, so they can be used everywhere. But nothing stops you from using the...

[bug77]

We mostly move to higher level because, with the additional computing power, compilers can do more, without needing a day to spew out a "hello world"...

[bug77]

The knee-jerk reaction isn't always wrong. I mean, where's Pascal today? Did Lisp&friends take over the world?
But because it's not always wrong,...
