@Condor try disabling power saving on your WiFi card to fix the disconnect issue. That's usually the cause for that class of bug

I think that Linus said that both are valid, probably to prevent yet another open source software war.

@theKarlisK I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but have you asked on U&L SO?

@theKarlisK If the Nvidia drivers were as good as the amd ones, I would probably ditch my card now. But they aren't so I won't. Even I, author of the SO post 'how to add xorg-edges PPA to debian' find the Nvidia drivers obstructive.

@theKarlisK stupid question: have you looked at the arch and Debian wikis on mixed gpu systems. My friend recently got an optimus laptop, and the wikis are the only reason I succeeded

Debian/Sid with Kali,Ubuntu and some custom compiled packages. On one system. I'm still surprised it boots tbh

@theKarlisK how odd. The amdgpu drivers give me 60+fps in 4k gaming without much complaint, and generally only dumps to syslog when I do something stupid (mistyped 1020% overclock). Try the and staging kernel, and see if that makes any difference.

@PerfectAsshole debian/sid is rolling release, and it has worked fine for the last >3 years of usage I have got from it

Can someone explain the difference between Merkel DAGs and Blockchain?

Qemu is pretty good for debugging low level programming if ur trying to use ring0. The cpu register dumping saved me hours of time on my toy OS project.

I use gnome 3 (boo hiss), and I made it significantly faster by disabling animations. See if you can do something similar with ur de of choice.

C is definitely my favourite language, but unfortunately I have finite time, and so I use C++. Have a go with it. It makes everything a lot faster, and the cost of having a couple more things happen behind your back.

@RememberMe that makes a lot of sense, thank you!

@RememberMe I am no expert in docker, but the way it was sold to me was "it's like a VM, but interfaces directly with the kernel, and therefore doesn't have to do as much faffing around with handling system calls". Surely by putting it in a VM, you get the added latency of containers and VMs?

Doesn't running docker in a VM sort of nullify the advantages of Docker over virtual machines?

Coming soon: WhatsApp premptively uploads your location, so that you can share it more quickly

What about emjois in email addresses?

I cannot possibly see how that could be abused

@electrineer each of the if conditions check the condition below it isn't true. By reversing their order, you can make that condition redundant, allowing you to remove it and half the number of comparisons you need to make, giving a ~2x speed increase with no negative impacts

If you put it the other way up, you can remove the second condition from all of the ifs

Tell me if I'm being stupid, but doesn't TLS have some form of MAC, so that messages cannot be altered (or corrupted) easily?

Why not get it to work on runs of consecutive uppercase words? This means that it would catch a bit of shouting at the end of a long rant.

Could someone write a front-end for clang or GCC to do this

Please!

@Danacus phoronix will probably have something

Root partition mounted on a ramdisk?

@ardnahcimor I bow to your superior hackery

Is that the laptop screen? All of the laptops I've encountered have proprietary connectors, which vary even between laptops if the same model.

Please share your wisdom

The whole "imaginary numbers" name was actually used in a derogatory sense; these numbers had no meaning or purpose, unlike "real numbers".

Look who's laughing now.

Or does Google use tail recursion?

If you click the "did you mean link" enough times, does it drop you on the stackoverflow front page?

Sorry, I meant kill, not look
