Since the demo now uses GLFW it could call glfwGetTime, which uses clock_gettime where available.

I guess it's too much work to start a REPL.

On a day like this, compare the entire key.

Proper 16-bit support is the big thing for the next release and it's significantly less slow since it got multithreading support in 2.8. Still slower than Photoshop, though.

Pretty much. With Classic Shell I finally have the perfect start menu; a combination of 95, 98, XP and custom traits. I doubt anything Microsoft does will surpass it.

I wish more people understood this.

Games generally use far less of it than a normal GUI application would.

This is why I like having compilers.
elmindreda | 12 years ago | on: On why removing features makes people unhappy
Yes, this. I'm not angry over the removal of compact list mode from Nautilus because of "loss of freedom", but because it's the mode I find superior to all other view modes.

...except Iron Man was created eight years before he was born.

Cool, it worked. Thank you!

I really don't like the way Vimperator works nowadays. It's why I moved to Pentadactyl.
elmindreda | 12 years ago | on: Firefox 22 released
Lots of nice changes, but Pentadactyl won't work with it. If you're using that, you may want to wait a few days.

vi != nvi != Vim
Try using heirloom vi or Solaris vi sometime. Even nvi adds a lot of convenience.

Well, there goes that service.
elmindreda | 13 years ago | on: Linux is not about choice (2008)
It has worked for me on every system I've ever had, most of which have been laptops. Nowadays, I use Ubuntu, and nearly everything works out of the box on every system I have. Currently, the only issue is the backlight on a very new gaming laptop. I had to download and compile a third-party kernel module for that, which while not a big hassle for me is clearly unacceptable from a usability perspective.
I suggest that some of the problems people are having stem from using distros that either don't care about or have the resources to support desktop use.

tig was the reason I moved from monotone to Git.

It wouldn't let me add accounts with unencrypted transports, so I can't evaluate this program. The 'Continue' button just led back to the account setup dialogue.
