xwayland cannot ever be removed, because wayland, by design, will not have enough functionality to replace it. So one can either support X desktop environments with their own individual bugs, or one X implementation that has the needed features and works consistently for all DEs

because for most of them, there is nothing to port them to. Wayland is incomplete... by design.

quick sort on random input, insertion sort on almost-sorted inputs

would you trust a putin promise?

yeah but at least we're not told to run sfc /scannow followed by "format your pc" when that inevitably fails to find anything

I usually just ask them to back that assertion up by running "pacman -Rcs xwayland" (or their package manager's equivalent).

None have taken me up on my request, and they immediately switch to blaming the apps for it, even though some literally cannot be ported.

it means that it has hardware that can multiply matrices. Just like the gpu they already have can!

they don't work. Technically they do, but they are a major major pain to manage.

thanks for the link. I almost cried with laughter trying to picture it.

as is tradition

did you at least screenshot it to the clipboard?

the security of a blockchain in directly tied to the number of users actively participating. You need to incentivize users to keep participating indefinitely. You do this by rewarding them with something that they value. As the number of users dwindles, so does the network's security. So how can a blockchain work on anything that isn't a cryptocurrency? If it's not a currency, then it can't be used to motivate people to participate in the network. After all, you are spending real money to pay for the electricity to mine. If there's nothing to pay you back with, that's just money out of your own pocket. Who the hell would accept such a deal?

The way I view it is that to eliminate that one con, you have to willingly give up on all the pros. Which is a ridiculous proposition in any scenario.

fluent in Maltese (native) and English. Conversational in Italian. I was one of the last generations to grow up without the internet, so we had to watch TV. And we're in close proximty to italy so we could get their channels. It is much less common nowadays for kids to also know Italian here. But people my age have no idea what Dragon Ball Z sounds like in english. We all watched it in Italian.

you press buttons on the controller and the character reacts to those. It's that easy!

ansible claims to be lots of things it's not. It's supposed to be idempotent. It's not, you can execute arbitrary scripts. You don't need an agent on the machines.... but it might just decide to stop supporting your version of python one day. It's okayish for setting up some machines, but absolutely sucks for maintaining them.

and who will you sell it to? the other countries will be building their own infrastructure eventually and they'll be trying to sell to you.

you are already constantly falling around the sun. No effort needed. If you want to stop orbiting (fall "down" instead of sideways) you need to negate the speed you already have. Otherwise you'd just keep doing the same thing we all already are: falling around, but not into, the sun

academy award nominee "Margot Robbie" of course!

yes
