And Chrome finally switched to GTK3 a month ago or so. Only took 10 years....

Neat. That also make a lot less useful though. and there are still many ways it can go wrong....

[carewolf]

Well, KDE's problem was not moving from Qt4 to Qt5, that part was trivial, it was moving from kde4's kdelibs to kde5's kde-frameworks,...

[carewolf]

I think the point is that previously extensions could do this, but remote web-pages could not. In any case while U2FA is hacky, it is a lot safer than...

[carewolf]

It requires your USB devices to all be net-safe. Originally WebGL had security holes as well until the drivers and in some cases the GPUs were fixed to...

[carewolf]

Some things are just not maintained or updated very often....

If they plan to get rid of OpenSSL 1.0, they better start shipping Qt 5.10 then because most of Qt5 has the same limitation since OpenSSL 1.0 and OpenSSL...

Chrome has had WebUSB for a while now. That is how U2FA works. It is a hacky extensions that talks to the USB device over WebUSB, and then provides a...

Actually (looking through the list of changes), this seems to be solving the original issue: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/195835/ and requested...

Doesn't look like it. Here is changes has been integrated into dev: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/...branch:dev,n,z and

Actually these days it is more common for them to have multiple slow cores. I think it is because that is more energy efficient than a single fast co...

[carewolf]

It made a wrong rounding in a specific rare case. It wasn't even less accurate, just not following the standard.

Btw, compilers could work...

[carewolf]

This is starting to remind me of the infamous pentium bug, where people thought they could reproduce it, but were just reproducing expected inaccuracies...

[carewolf]

Please, don't send us to Ubuntu. That distro is crap....

[carewolf]

No. It is a mathematical limitation. Only integer scaling is easy and will always look good. Non integer scaling causes rounding and aliasing issues....

[carewolf]

It was 2-3 years ago. I still use btrfs, but only for source directories which are typically git checkouts and can be restored if they die.. It might...

[carewolf]

The difference is that when data goes bad on ext4 filesystems, you lose a file or a bit of a file, when something goes wrong with btrfs you lose the entire...

[carewolf]

I have used it twice, and both times it irrovokably bitrotted the disk, and with no proper fsck, and a filesystem that refuses to read faulty metadata...

[carewolf]

Actually on case-insensitive systems, they need full Unicode support to do normalized case-insensitive comparisons. If I remember correctly it is even...
