300-400 ms on mine.

Ofcourse, not hanging the website beats 400 ms.

Re:Node v6.9.0 (LTS) on Wednesday October 19, 2016 @05:58AM (#12742441)
Why 6.9 release implies 7.0? I think it implies 6.10 more.

Well, take any problem from a user regarding Linux - and it will not be Linux problem.

No hardware support? Not a Linux problem. Crappy drivers on Linux? Not a Linux problem. No Photoshop on Linux? Not a Linux problem.

It's always not Linux' problem.

Re:KDE Project releases KDE 1 on Saturday October 15, 2016 @01:57PM (#12714981)
I answer why I don't run Amarok on Windows - I get downvoted. Is HN just Slashdot v2.0?
Re:KDE Project releases KDE 1 on Friday October 14, 2016 @10:53AM (#12708450)
Not compatible with Apple Music.

Amarok 1.4 was the best audio player ever. My most beloved feature - changing queue position of song in a playlist with mousewheel. Second - could reorganize your files by Artis/Album/Song.mp3.

I remember having my friends over for parties and when they saw Amarok - instantly wanted to try Linux. It was, imo, the killer app of Linux.

When I switched to Windows 7 - tried to customize foobar2000 to make it feel like Amarok, but it wasn't the same. :/

Re:Poll on macOS 10.12 is broken on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @05:16PM (#12688589)
I mean that nVidia drivers will be nVidia drivers made by nVidia - same ones on Debian, Ubuntu or Arch.
Re:Poll on macOS 10.12 is broken on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @03:06PM (#12687556)
Nor Ubuntu, nor Debian produce nVidia drivers.
Re:Poll on macOS 10.12 is broken on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @12:20PM (#12685828)
When video drivers crash - do all GUI applications still crash with the display server?

I've toyed with Arch during Windows 7 times - after hearing how linux is more stable than windoze/windblowz - and then nVidia drivers crashed, X server crashed, aaand upon starting X - all GUI applications were closed.

Are. You. Friggin. Kidding me? People were talking about stability when such things happened? Linux stability compared to Windows 7 - zero. At that time.

Has it changed?

>Up to you, and you can help mold it and become part of the community

This is a problem. I want a desktop, not a job with "feeling good" salary.

Re:Unix as IDE on Thursday October 06, 2016 @03:38PM (#12655401)
I bet Emacs has a plugin that makes it like Vim, so Emacs is not that bad.

:-)

As an iPhone user, this doesn't look as an attractive option. For half the iPhone price - maybe, but right now - nope.

My proposal: xkcd3, works as xkcd3:927 AND xkcd3://927

And that's why Linux desktop is going nowhere.

And the next year it's .NET Standard One. After that - .NET Standard 10.
Re:Introducing .NET Standard on Tuesday September 27, 2016 @05:34AM (#12588325)
Yes, multithreading is stupidly easy nowadays. I also use Parallel.ForEach and sometimes .AsParallel() - changing "header" of foreach/for cycle is easy peasy and performance gains are instant. :)
Re:Introducing .NET Standard on Tuesday September 27, 2016 @05:31AM (#12588317)
How come? So GetFoo() is replaced by GetFooAsync(), so just mass rename GetFoo() to GetFooAsync().Result and the end result will be the same...

Unlike in JavaScript, async stuff is optional in C#, so block threads to your heart's content with .Result, it will behave like old sync methods...
