That is the purpose of rust, it moves in deeper and deeper until there is,,, well only rust left. ;P

Love the comment about Windows: Quote: For the anecdote, historically on windows the period was around 16 milliseconds, it had a funny side effect where an application doing a sleep(1ms) would resume around 16 milliseconds later. The Sleep(timeout) call in Windows only guarantees that the thread will sleep for that long. It doesn't guarantee that the thread will be awaken in timeout milliseconds.

I agree with your response to the article. Almost all of the comments on that thing were expressing the same. It has been the year of Linux on the Desktop for so many years, I've lost count. And, there was nothing in the article that made the case for why this particular distro whether than the others. It's all click bait. :|

I remember the open source community going beserk with this announcement, but they completely forgot that this simply means that Red Hat is no longer part of the community.

The other part is the user space components which provide for the developer access. More details can be found at BlueZ » About[^]. You cannot bypass the library, since user space code cannot use Kernel features directly.

Article wrote: Microsoft's Insider builds often tend to reveal interesting features that are hidden from plain sight as they are not a part of the announced set of features, changes, and improvements in release notes. And that will probably be the source of some amusement in the insider news... :rolleyes: M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's pretty clear. You need to tell bluetoothctl how long to wait e.g. bluetoothctl --timeout 2 should time out after 2 seconds. Who knows, maybe you could even use a floating point value e.g. --timeout 1.5 for finer grain control. Normally, though, a long option is specified as --timeout=2, so you might try that as well if the above does not work. I've checked a few of web sites, but none of them were able to help in this regard. Still a little experimentation on your part should clear that up. When you get it sorted, maybe post a note the to the maintainers that it needs to be explained better. Keep Calm and Carry On

One question poll: Do you want Google to track your every move on the internet? Yes => Go ahead and install Chrome No => Stick with Edge but remember to turn off third party cookies in your settings.

OS/2 Warp 3.0 and later supported a large amount of RAM in a linear, 32-bit address space. Our machines at the time had 16 to 64 MB. The driver was large because the hardware was complex and needed to support many operations in near real-time. As a result, a lot of what you might normally think of as application functionality was implemented in the driver. Software Zen: delete this;

Is there a connection between Longhorn and the worst code? Like was the worst code part of Longhorn? The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Yes - a known issue that is fixed, just needs to be deployed cheers Chris Maunder

Back to Windows. I had bought a laptop with Win7 and had no internet connection + 13 exams to be passed in a year without any excuse. Well, I discovered that 7 was a beast of stability, no blue screens at all and was resilient to all kinds of software abuses. I quickly got used to it and never looked back. I had the chance to use Linux for embedded development twice in the past 3 years and :elephant: it all with renewed fervor, the various developers managed to insert Windows unpredictability in Linux's complexity - having the wifi/bluetooth drivers correctly activated on 50% of boots is Windows 98 levels of idiocy, and 98 was the one that couldn't resume from standby (until the famous 2nd edition.

It's whatever they call it, anti-marketing, negative ad campaigns, whatever. Because after all, who the heck wants to type in sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to upgrade their OS when Microsoft will do it for you right in the middle of your work day! :laugh: Latest Articles: A Lightweight Thread Safe In-Memory Keyed Generic Cache Collection Service A Dynamic Where Implementation for Entity Framework

It might be recent indeed... it doesn't seem to exist in Outlook 2016 :( Good to know anyways. Thanks!

Looks like you've found a solution. I'm going to have a look at qview as well, it seems nice. I think irfanview might also be able to do what you want. It has a compare images function which can zoom in and lock the zoom level.
