I'm honestly really happy with GnomeShell once I install the extensions "dash to dock" and "workspace matrix".
Re:Cooling off your Raspberry Pi 4 on Thursday November 14, 2019 @06:00PM (#21540449)
I also bought this one because I wanted a passive solution. Temperature looks fine (45°C in Idle). Although I think there are different versions and some of them don't fit perfectly on the RPi4. I got mine from amazon and it cools the three most important chips but the position where it touches the chips isn't perfect.
Re:Async.h – asynchronous, stackless subroutines in C on Saturday September 21, 2019 @04:20AM (#21034142)
What one should mention is that his version of coroutines is also stateless. That's why you need either stackful coroutines written in assembly or support in the language/compiler or operating system. Special case versions where you can avoid backing up the stack frame exist in other projects too, like in asio: https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio/blob/master/asio/inclu...

But in my opinion I would not use them for generic use cases and rather wait for the official support in C++20.

Of course I'm aware that I'm talking about C++ here and the situation for C might be slightly different.
