Yes basically, it's not the same dev yet sway is heavily inspired by i3 and works with i3 config files. As you wrote i3 is x11-only and sway is wayland.

A particularly ugly but useful feature of "const enum" (sadly, the "const" flavor of enums are not referred to in this documentation), is that it's the only way to declare a compile-time constant in TypeScript. e.g.

To add to this, a lot of those "W3C API" (most?) (to which I'll also add WHATWG API, like HTML5 - or fetch) have actually no relation to ECMAScript and thus aren't generally in v8 because they are not JavaScript. Those A

By what I understood of your reply, everything is a measure and I fail to see how something cannot be measured. Or perhaps I wasn't clear in what I meant initially? > In which case you have already measured it, even if not very prec

It may be that the entire performance including the logic is satisfactory. Or it may be that the conditions to reach that logic are too rare to make the time to measure and optimize worthwhile. In any case, I understand it as: if you'r
