Isn't it easier to just backup via IMAP to maildir versioned with git?
Does takeout include any metadata not accessible via IMAP? Does it even include labels?
There were plenty of those, including commercial ones.
It's pretty hard to find but ~25 years ago I was using Xi Graphics Accelerated-X which had 3D acceleration long before Xfree86.
Update: but yes I imagine it had some code from original MIT release.
For completely independent one you can have a look at WeirdX/WiredX, which was written in Java and even supported antialiasing and transparency for core protocol (something that Xfree86 people claimed to be impossible to implement).
It's surprisingly hard to find this stuff today: https://web.archive.org/web/20250220140358/http://www.jcraft...
How come there are still no 4K 60fps KVM devices?
Software solutions like Moonlight/Sunshine have been able to do that with near-zero latency for a long time and they are not even the first. Phones have chips capable of capturing 4K 120fps. Why is it so hard for KVM devices?
Can it help with the annoying macos bug that about half the time disconnecting and reconnecting external screen to my MacBook does not move windows back to external screen?
The C++ plugin is included in Android Studio which is essentially a distribution of IntelliJ. There seems to be no technical reason for not allowing it in full IntelliJ.
There are tools like voidtools Everything2 and WizTree that directly read NTFS from disk device bypassing windows FS apis and are blazingly fast (faster than find/du on ext4 in Linux).
With some work on better tooling it could've been used to detect and thwart supply chain attacks, which are a growing concern. Process level sandboxing is too coarse.
Sounds like the only way out of this is to design language agnostic tooling protocols that anybody can implement.
Where do you see pattern matching in Kotlin?
Worked fine in a window but too slow when fullscreen on my Surface Pro 8.
Should have dynamic resolution to maintain FPS.
So why is it still pretty slow for file operations on DevDrive (no filters, async antivirus)? I found the performance improvement not that significant.
Doesn't it (Windows VFS layer) also lack the equivalent of dentry cache, making all metadata lookups slow?
I meant to reply to GP about partial updates rather than parent post about keeping connection open.
It's not open source and hasn't been in a very long time.
Still very useful though.
Doesn't streaming architecture of libarchive make it a poor choice for working with random access archives?
The feature built into windows (even after recent update) is a lot slower
Lacks ferries and availability of e-bikes. Google maps has both.
It still sort of is but you can create Dev Drive which is based on ReFS
If you go with sharding proxy design why not use Apache ShardingSphere?
It follows the same approach but is far more sophisticated and mature.
Is the GraalVM sandboxing only applicable to polyglot runtime or also to JVM itself?
Why not combine zero width character with visible character, i.e. use 2 characters for separators?
,<FS> for fields
\n<RS> for records
This removes ambiguity in parsing and remains user readable.
It's also relatively easy to auto-fix files edited by users in normal editors.
It also mostly removes need for escaping.
It's also smaller or same size as unicode multibyte characters (haven't checked).
Better cross-platform would be nice but it will succeed regardless given resources and level of commitment from Apple.
That's also the behavior on Windows
It also works great with almost but not-quite HiDPI screens such as commonly available and cheap 4K 27" monitors. You can scale them at 150% and with ClearType it looks as good as super expensive 6K Mac screen.
In fact since cleartype effectively triples resolution I guess you get quality of 12K display?
Recently my favorite open source mouse gestures extension SmartUp Gestures was taken over by some shady entity (with github no longer being updated of course).
I opened Chrome ticket that they should ask to re-enable extension when ownership changes. They just closed the ticket replying with this link:

:(
Looks like it's preserving them now (for newly backed up). I guess I was unlucky.
