The person I responded to said that "they expected everyone to jump on the bandwagon and abandon all their legacy code". That's not even close to what Rob Pike wrote on his blog.

But the difference between 60hz and 120hz is instantly noticeable in a blind test, without even opening a game. That's by definition not placebo.

I would postulate that 100% of professional (i.e. elite) competitive gamers would be able to tell the difference. See this old touchscreen demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOvQCPLkPt4

Beautiful work. Could it be worth repeating the experiment with the monitor running at a very low refresh rate, i.e. 30hz? If Wayland is always a frame slower than X11, it should be much easier to observe.

I just hope they're able to fix their font rendering, it looks like crap on 100% DPI scaling.

Who would the target audience be? No modern software can run with a 1000x performance loss.

I don't think Putin would want to taint his relationship with Trump on his first week on the White House.

Yeah, Andromeda is way too far away. The Gaia mission was custom-built to do exactly this kind of "stereo" imaging of stars in our own galaxy, but it's still not sensitive enough to cover the entire Milky Way.

With no further context, I think good ol' UB is more likely. Every C codebase I've seen that's not scrutinized with tooling to detect UB, is full of UB.

This rule is new, by the way. There used to be no dress code at all, and it's become increasingly strict in the last few years.

Have you found a light theme you're happy with? Which one?

Is there a way to adjust text contrast in light mode in Zed yet? The editor is unfortunately unusable for me, because of how washed out the colors are.

Poor economy doesn't necessarily cause regime change, but regime changes almost always happen from an economic downturn.

It does, everyone uses the `log` crate. But then it wouldn't be zero-dependencies anymore.

Ah okay, not the same symptoms as we had, then.
