There are some minor complaints about Rust, but my favorite part is

>The way AwesomeWM handled this was a “restart” in AwesomeWM just re-exec the binary. This was possible in X11 because a WM is just a client. This isn’t feasible in Wayland because a compositor is the server, and so to re-exec way-cooler would cause all clients to be disconnected. This is a terrible user experience so I had to redesign the project again.

>This set me back even more time as I had to spend time re-architecturing the project. Eventually I figured I would just have to emulate X11 here – there would be a privileged client process that would implement the AwesomeWM compatibilty and I would implement the compositor as a program it would talk to. The main way they would share data was through custom Wayland protocols. In essence I was recreating X11 in Wayland.

haha yeah X11 is just a dinosaur, man. What a stupid idea, graphics over a network!

>For the Google internship I was disallowed from working on any side projects without them having copyright over the code.

even for Google I'm surprised at how evil this is. What an embarrassingly shitty company. So much money shouldn't move over trivial issues like "having an uncluttered search page" and "having the main competitor self-destruct with a female CEO".

finally,

>The first and most obvious is I don’t particularly like AwesomeWM. I like i3 a lot more and I was only writing this to solve other people’s problems first. I don’t need an entire Turing complete language to describe my desktop environment.

>Unix Hater

<Since late 2016, a person known as the "UNIX Hater" has been spamming every thread imaginable. This activity increased especially in late 2018. He continues to provide no original opinion, only responding to completely unrelated posts with long rants and archived Unix-Hate posts from Usenet and various mailing lists. He believes most "Unix Weenies" (as he calls them) practice revisionism. He claims to have been a LISP system admin in the 1980's.

<He was once asked to prove the superiority of a LISP system over UNIX by making a contemporary web browser in Scheme. He was unable to, and continued to claim other's demands were too nonsensical for the project.

No, really no, not at all, I mean like no, just no. So wrong its not even wrong, no evidence needed, wow just wow.

Just tell us you think Maxwell was a nigger so we can summarily dismiss you.

>>752

>No, not really, that's plain untrue.

No, actually it is true. The only non-Western, non-shithole countries in existence are some East-Asian countries, and while those races have today established competent civilizations, they can't innovate for shit, and would still be living in the dirt if it weren't for technology given to them by Whites.

Oh, and the multicsnigger is a faggot, for the record.

>wasting hours to read 100 pages of useless information

what should I read next? an encyclopedia?

>It's another schemefags using the Lisp name whenever it's convenient episode

>>817

This. Schemefags jack off about how minimal and elegant their language is and then every time they try to write something that isn't scripting they end up reimplementing half of the "bloat" of Common Lisp in an adhoc (and therefore inferior) way. The worst offender of this is probably Guile. Chicken seems to still be in the "minimal to point of uselessness" stage. At least it's a fine scripting language.

I can read quickly and learn quickly , but I would never expect other people to read my 1,300 page PDF manual on how to just use my fucking coding language and then blame them for all their issues, and then change the fucking standard two years later and expect them to re-learn it all again. All this too when at the end of the day, it is a shitty language with absolutely nothing to fucking offer to anyone.

>cuckscheme

>>816

>who has so little knowledge of what he's talking about

People who say that without demonstrating in any way how that is the case generally have no argument.

>>816

>implying the size of a standard is somehow relevant to anything

Giant standards are not good in any way. Use your amazingly omnipresent insightful mind to work out why that is so…..

>>816

>so little actual arguments

you have given no arguments………none what so ever. You like coding languages that attempt to code for you , because you are too mentally handicapped to code.

>>816

>copypastes Xah Lee's website

copy-pasting is illegal on 8kun apparently. No mate my opinion is shared by many people, that is the point of quoting others.

>>816

>and an outdated Torvalds quote.

how in the fuck is that outdated, when the very same criticisms apply to the same fucking language, and Torvalds still feels the same way about c++ as do many other people.

>>816

Your Brain is a fly and you are attracted to shit. Thanks, for removing yourself from the coding gene pool. I am not going to stop you, just be the moron you were born to be.

>>853

HAHAHAHAHAAAA

omg……

HAHAHHAHAAAAAAA

oh my god, you can run lisp on a computer…

HAHAHAAAAAAA

well done.

>>853

>Yeah well im posting this on a lisp machine, so your argument is moot. Lisp is the technical wonder achievement of our civilization.

Are you serious? you must be joking……

YES, we got another schizoposter back on the board.

It consumes less bandwidth to serve images as webp (or really anything other than jpeg). Given the complexities of running their own CDN and DDoS Mitigation, this is a relatively small issue but it would need to be fixed on their end by testing for webp support.

Given the popularity of webm on the site, I doubt this will ever get "fixed". Especially since full-resolution images are served in their original format. People would riot, but I would unironically be fine with them converting jpegs to pngs or webp on the backend.

>It consumes less bandwidth to serve images as webp (or really anything other than jpeg). Given the complexities of running their own CDN and DDoS Mitigation, this is a relatively small issue but it would need to be fixed on their end by testing for webp support.

completely wrong

Webp is based on vp8 which is worse than JPEG for intra compression used in images. Kill yourself you pseudo /tech/nician!

Webm is a container that can contain vpx and av1 combined with vorbis or opus.

At what time in the next 24 hours will /tech/ be reclaimable? Does anyone know?

I'd like to think Ron goes by California time, but he doesn't and 8kun has been one colossal fuckup after another. I'll be on julayworld or lain from now on.

Fuck you Ron and fuck you Jim. I hope you and your twitter SJWs are very happy together.

You are correct. It doesn't seem to delete. Blame Jim.

more like the profit incentive, and the race to the bottom of price competition. Look up telco profit margins sometime, they aren't exhorbitant.

Minimum viable product.

<we gave you 10GB, it's your fault you went over

Minimum viable product.

<just be thankful we let you use 4GB of data

Minimum viable product.

<50GB/yr for 50 dollars! It's a great deal!

<Look at ___, they only give you 30GB/yr for twice the price!

Minimum viable product.

Retarded app addicted consumers women, niggers, and children will continue to to drive all industries to the same conclusion.

The 5G rollout is for lucrative time based network access government contracts, and datamining contracts for analytics companies, not making things better for the founding nation.

imagine caring about phone or internet and "rising up" against companies about it

>>742

>we gave you 10GB

Some have actually argued to me, that 10 is a REALLY good deal, because they previously only had 1GB and they kept getting overage charges. You have no idea how dumbed down the average chump is.

No. You don't get from the live distro to the installation without the installer.

Devuan

>>485

Yes - I have a laptop with that on it

install gentoo

>devuan

>Instead of continuing the Debian practice of using Toy Story character names as release codenames,[15] Devuan aliases its releases using planet names. The first stable release shared the Debian 8 codename Jessie. However, the Devuan release was named for minor planet 10464. The second stable release is named ASCII for minor planet 3568, while the permanent alias for the Devuan unstable branch is Ceres, named for the dwarf planet.[16]

<it's like debian but without big boy release names and no systemd, mannn

wow gee i'm sure happy there is a big boy OS to pander to my big boy needs

>the UNIX community

actually i need to use a non-gentoo OS for the first time in 10 years soon so i might use this since systemd is probably impossible to set up

>be asukafag

>preach racial demoralization: gosh, your own people are so stupid. don't you hate them?

people like you are why the Tau Empire is a threat.

try these corrective measures:

1. forget about Asuka

2. like your people because they're your people.

3. engage in ideation: if a smarter, wiser, saintlier, wealthier power came along, but they were blue-skinned xeno, what would you do? (Your current behavior suggests that you would instantly ally with them. This is the wrong answer, HERETIC.)

there are these things white people invented called "books" you could try.

>I am not Pajeet. HAPA is the superior race, wigger.

I asked if you had to interact with a pajeet. How can you shit out 500 words without any sort of reading comprehension? Dumb Pajeet.

All spammers on these sites are hapas. Like seriously I bet that pajeet who wanted a wife was even a hapa.

I hate this so much. They put it on absolutely everything, even perlite you can find in a garden center. If California cared so much about human health, they'd take a stance in opposing degenerate lifestyles like homosexuality, transgenderism and narcotics consumption. Yet these are all encouraged by the state and glamorized by Hollywood.

Lead is unhealthy. It doesn't just cause cancer through long term exposure, it's also toxic by itself.

I see nothing wrong with the warning.

>The quality of the water flowing to Rome varied greatly in terms of purity and taste. The worse water was only used as domestic water. For the water qualities of individual pipes, see the table above.

>Although Vitruv had already warned of the negative health effects of lead pipes,[12] the pipes were still made almost everywhere from this practical, easy-to-process, waterproof metal.

We should be happy we overcame those things of the past.

>>868

>lead pipes

Friendly /pol/ reminder that it was Rome's trying to incorporate shit skins into the republic that brought about their decline, not lead.

Cloudflare itself can be a security risk as they are a MITM by design, but many sites need some ddos protection of that kind. What are the experiences with alternative services such as bitmitigate?

Also I wonder how those countries are different in their legislation, it probably depends on the content which one is best.

>>112

If your main goal is availability and exposure, like a news site, why not? If your main goal is privacy, sure, don't get a mitm proxy like cf.

Who cares anyways just be a good boy or buy a seedbox if you torrent

That's just because they've led 70 years of "modern life." and have seen their once great neighbourhoods turn into refugee camps.

Haha, I wish that was true, no mate they are self-absorbed idiots who in most western countries saw nothing wrong with immigration and that is exactly why it happened. I work at a nursing home.

They were 70% of times Christians… and that explains everything. Feminism was already a thing in Britain, America and Australia when they were in their 20's and they saw nothing wrong with it.

>>584

I haven't worked for 5 years and haven't cared about time that entire time. Absolutely nothing was different. Of course I'm not a normalfag though…

The F-91W with a NATO strap is truly a patrician combo, I wish they sold them like this by default.
