Not if you are going purely through software. That's why app to app communication is so powerful. You can of course correlate metadata like when two people...

It's always the same dumb story with open source. Anything commercial is going to have a CLA for maximum flexibility. You can't have legal problems that...

[cynical]

Order may not matter if you just care about membership. An RB-tree would be better than a B-tree for a simpler data structure because the data is stored...

[cynical]

Yeah I was going to mention that I have no issues, but realized you might not be running the main release. I thought it was fine on Kubuntu also, but...

[cynical]

Seriously? It's way easier for me to remember "eoan" or "disco" than "19.04" or "19.10". The latter names are...

[cynical]

They did exactly what you said, only applied features downstream. They just happened to be a lot of features. And yes, Gnome devs are well known for turning...

[cynical]

That's literally impossible, at least for anything of a significant size. Java is compiling to bytecode, while C is compiling to native instructions....

[cynical]

Are you running Ubuntu or some derivative?...

[cynical]

I mean you are obviously assuming that Gnome developers would agree with and accept their contributions, but if that were true, they never would have...

You say that like it's a bad thing....

Plus one of their engineers told me that there is plenty of room for optimization for the hardware. They know what they need to do but didn't have time...

[cynical]

That's because of the typical propaganda about Red Hat doing no wrong and Canonical being the devil. Essentially the stuff you are still perpetuating....

[cynical]

I just tested Fedora 31 to see how the beta was doing, and tried turning on the Night Light mode. It worked well, but I noticed that the cursor was unaffected...

[cynical]

No you were quite clear about that. I just missed the part where this is impossible to do with dynamic typing.



I actually never...

[cynical]

I get plenty of crashes from C/C++ applications. I guess using statically typed code is not a good idea either.


It's good advice,...

[cynical]

No, a representation would solve the latter two problems as well. I can define a record, or a "type" with a particular constructor and fields,...

[cynical]

As you said it is a matter of trade-offs, and to me the annoyances outweigh the benefits.


That doesn't have anything to do with the...

[cynical]

You do agree that you still need to write tests and check your logic though right? A type system does not stop you from making errors, only a certain...

[cynical]

By the way, I don't know what you mean by this. The hash rocket is just sugar, C++ lambdas look almost identical to JavaScript lambdas. You use square...
