I never said C# could match C++. I just said that compiling to machine code isn't a panacea and that a good JIT will beat ahead-of-time compilation with...

[ssokolow]

A good JIT will beat an AOT compiler with crappy optimization passes any time of the week. (Or, for that matter, an AOT-compiled language which has to...

This page does a better job of making the before/after clear.

Also, "Ugh. Flat design." Most of the widgets are acceptable, but...

[ssokolow]

I believe there already is one.

(Though that's just a side-effect. Their primary goal is breaking...

It's by design because it enables several performance optimizations. More details here:

Oh, and a quick addition to the comment that's currently awaiting moderation because I forgot to strip the URLs from my Wikipedia excerpt:

[ssokolow]

Yes, licensing problems.



That aside, at the time, there were also legitimate complaints (long since fixed) about GCC's implementation...

[ssokolow]

Point in favour of our interpretation: Since GNOME 3, GNOME has been trying to pretend that other GTK-based desktops don't exist. I remember some posts...

[ssokolow]

Because you keep coming into unrelated threads and spamming them with off-topic stuff about CLAs.

...hmm. Spamming... Maybe we should start...

That's basically what I was trusting... that, KDE being KDE, didn't do something stupid like "Combine the Qt and GTK+ theme selectors for 'simplicity',...

[ssokolow]

I will admit that I'm sort of trusting that the KDE developers aren't ruling out this option. I have, on occasion, needed to do something to overrule...

[ssokolow]

It's confusing because Wine's docs are contradictory at times (apparently because they're enough of a maze for them to have trouble finding everything...

[ssokolow]

I don't follow. This is all about making sure that GTK+ applications honour the preference the user selects in the KDE control panel without having to...

[ssokolow]

There's nothing forceful about it. Qt is just setting the desktop default theme preference for GTK+, same as Windows has been doing for Win32 applications...

[ssokolow]

Huh. There's something you don't see every day. (Overflowing is easy. Shove too much onto the stack or unbalance your pushes and pops. I can't think of...

Proton is sort of like wine-staging in that Valve is paying Codeweavers to work on updates to the Wine portions of Proton but doesn't always want to wait...

[ssokolow]

You don't seem to grasp that this is the LTS release, not the semi-annual releases.

The whole point of an LTS release is to advantage stability...

[ssokolow]

No, Canonical is and always has been offering a less stale version of what Debian Stable offers. That's the whole point of an LTS release. So corporate...

[ssokolow]

My understanding is that it's an extended distro of Wine, sort of like wine-staging but with added stuff like DXVK, and that you can use it like any other...

Does NFS still make assumptions about the cross-device coherence of UIDs, rather than mapping the client to a local UID based on the associated username-password...
