Yes, there are multiple layers and also other stuff in the way. Also, the leak can just not be easy to find on the outside at all. The part I don't really get is why they can't tell whether or not the leak is affecting other modules, but at a guess it's because the leak is slow and there's variation from thermal cycling and such that makes it difficult to monitor losses that small.

By that, do you mean minimizing to just a title bar? That's a weird thing to not work, given that it's basically just not drawing a window.

Whoops, that's fair. They went concentrix, concentrix, some other employer unnamed. I wonder if it was lifted directly from TFA or if the "editor" mangled it. I guess we'll never know because of the paywall fuckery.

Those people decided it would be too hard so they did Wayland instead. Except now it's 15 years later and Wayland still doesn't do what X did, and the performance is worse as well. So they proved themselves wrong, but they're still married to their bad decision.

It's at the top.

Because her script is authorized by a payment processor, which is also in TFS.

Your comment tells us that you either cannot read or didn't try to read TFS. Which is it, and why do you imagine someone who didn't even read TFS has anything valuable to contribute to this conversation?

They had a lot of problems when they did that, and until I got kicked off of Twitter for anti-Leon memes, I was noting that they had a lot more continuing problems than before that. I don't use the site now that I'm not allowed to be logged into it, so I haven't kept up, but I certainly haven't heard that it's great now.

Is your problem with promotion of diversity, equity, or inclusion?

No, she doesn't. As TFS says above before it contradicts itself in this way, she works for a contractor, and this is the fundamental problem. These contractor script readers do not as a rule understand how anything works, and in the most extreme cases, they would not be allowed to explain it to you even if they did. The federal government should never be allowed to use contractors to collect a debt. This only makes the process less efficient, because the contractor has to make a profit. No one should be allowed to make a profit off of debt recovery period, but especially, they should never be allowed to make a profit off of collecting a government debt. That's especially offensive.

That update fell what, 11 years after Wayland development began? What happened? I thought Wayland was supposed to solve all the problems so nobody would have to touch that icky, unmaintainable X11 code any more. I had it on good authority (the same people everyone is trusting to develop an alternative to X11) that nobody could reasonably keep X11 working.

With that said, IME the people who use DEI as a bad word are not serious people, so I expect XLibre to go nowhere.

A couple more cylinders aren't going to move the needle on that. The remedy would be something else, like tuning differently, or adding features to the intake or exhaust to kill sound. Your V6 is also a lot louder than an L6 potentially can be.

On one hand, people who care about this stuff read Hack a Day.

On the other hand, Slashdot has never even tried to break news. That's not what it's for. It's a place for nerds to discuss nerd shit.

They days you can do that with a not particularly advanced six, or a high end four. Modern four cylinder engines make over 400HP with turbocharging, and an engine with 300HP is more than enough to do speeds like that. The idea that you need a V8 or V12 to cruise at 155 is nonsense. (The four would be loud, but a good straight six would be fine, and since hoods are getting longer again there's room.)

That sort of thing really will work its way down to every car eventually. It's already getting into cheaper and cheaper vehicles. A large percentage of modern vehicles have standard multi camera systems that do 360 views of varying quality. A fair handful of vehicles have forward night vision (intelligent low light enhancement) in the gauge cluster screen. It is or soon will be cheaper than building the car with modern crash standards and vintage visibility at the same time.

We lost rear visibility in the name of rollover protection, and we're losing front visibility for the purpose of improving partial offset crash scores — and for style reasons in pickups, and SUVs, and cars that think they're SUVs. Square hood manly! Ugh!

My '93 Impreza was kind of amazing to see out of, and that had great rollover characteristics. I know this because the person I sold it to got hit hard in a rear quarter on the highway at speed and rolled five times, and walked away with light scratches. If only we could get Subaru to bring back the original (GC5 with EJ18) and put a modern EGR, turbo, and transmission (not their stupid CVT, maybe a eight-speed auto with a seven speed manual option) on it for efficiency, it'd run forever, get great mileage, and be absurdly safe. Wish in one hand, but anyhoo

You are a stupid fucking idiot all day every day.

The comment to which you originally replied like a total dipshit to in this thread asked specifically:

"Presumably, however, if a Chinese company was doing business in America, you would expect them to follow the laws of America while they were there, yes?"

And then you doubled and trebled down on being too stupid to live about it.

Now fuck off until you learn to read, chucklefuck.
