KDE user here, I still use X11 to play old Minecraft versions. LWJGL2 uses xrandr to read (and sometimes modify? wtf) display configurations on Linux, and the last few times I’ve tried it on Wayland it kept screwing the whole desktop up.
It takes like half a second on my Fairphone 3, and the CPU in this thing is absolute dogshit. I also doubt that the power consumption is particularly significant compared to the overhead of parsing, executing and JIT-compiling the 14MiB of JavaScript frameworks on the actual website.
Wait really? I use (((triple parentheses))) quite often to indicate sarcastic emphasis on a word. Damn racists ruining my punctuation >:(
Nouveau is dead, it’s been replaced with Zink on NVK.
In my experience, nouveau is painfully slow and crashes constantly to the point of being virtually unusable for anything. The developers agree, as in the last couple months nouveau has been phased out of Mesa entirely. More recent Mesa versions now implement OpenGL on Nvidia using Zink on NVK, and the result is quite a bit faster and FAR more stable.
If your distribution currently still ships a Mesa version which uses nouveau, I would personally recommend you just stick with the Intel graphics for now.
Aside from checking the kernel log (sudo dmesg) and system log (sudo journalctl -xe) for any interesting messages, I might suggest simply watching for any processes which are abnormally high while the system is running slow. My initial approach would be to use htop (disable “Hide Kernel Threads” and enable “Detailed CPU Time”), and seeing which processes, if any, are eating up your CPU time. The colored core utilization bars at the top show how much CPU time is being spent on what: gray for disk wait, red for kernel, green for regular user process, etc. That information will be a good starting point.
I mean, there are plenty of wealthy immigrants here, but I would say there are probably more immigrant families from regular or (relatively) poor families around. Like, people with a regular income who are working a regular job, not your average finance expat from an English-speaking country on an all-expenses-paid expat package plus a neat half million bucks per year salary on top.
That said, the non-expat immigrants I know are overwhelmingly from eastern European countries, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the acceptance policy is biased against non-Europeans. You don’t see many average working-class Americans around here unless they married a Swiss person.
“i only use 4chan”
I have a blanket I’ve slept with every day since I was barely a month old (am 23 now), wouldn’t trade it for anything. I can definitely relate :)
My guess would be Google scholar (or whatever their thing is called which lets you search through a bazillion indexed books and other texts)
I would be very hesitant to run sed on a bunch of files consisting primarily of highly compressed binary data.
What would be the point of streaming a game at 4K onto an 800p display?
Okay, you can’t just drop that bombshell without elaborating. What sort of bug could exist in a program which contains a single return instruction?!?
I’d like my BMI to be higher as well though, I have to pay higher life insurance rates because mine is so low they’ve decided I am “at risk” despite being perfectly healthy :|
I complain about French all the time not because I hate French people but because I can’t remember which direction the fucking accent goes, it’s been like 8 years of failing French class, please send help
Trading has nothing to do with cryptocurrency mining. Also, any high-frequency trading firm worth their salt is using FPGAs for the things where performance really counts.
Sadly a number of these don’t seem to exist on Nyaa, or in any other English form that I can find.
That can’t be a wheelchair, the wheel doesn’t form a full circle. It’s either a wheelchair with an extremely bumpy ride, or a person with a badly misshapen leg.
Thinking of a modern GPU as a “graphics processor” is a bit misleading. GPUs haven’t been purely graphics processors for 15 years or so, they’ve morphed into general-purpose parallel compute processors with a few graphics-specific things implemented in hardware as separate components (e.g. rasterization, fragment blending).
Those hardware stages generally take so little time compared to the rest of the graphics pipeline that it normally makes the most sense to have far more silicon dedicated to general-purpose shader cores than the fixed-function graphics hardware. A single rasterizer unit might be able to produce up to 16 shader threads worth of fragments per cycle, so even if your fragment shader is very simple and only takes 8 cycles per pixel, you can keep 8x16 cores busy with only one rasterizer in this example.
The result is that GPUs are basically just a chip packed full of a staggering number of fully programmable floating-point and integer ALUs, with only a little bit of fixed hardware dedicated to graphics squeezed in between. Any application which doesn’t need the graphics stuff and just wants to run a program on thousands of threads in parallel can simply ignore the graphics hardware and stick to the programmable shader cores, and still be able to leverage nearly all of the chip’s computational power. Heck, a growing number of games are bypassing the fixed-function hardware for some parts of rendering (e.g. compositing with compute shaders instead of drawing screen-sized rectangles, etc.) because it’s faster to simply start a bunch of threads and read+write a bunch of pixels in software.
