DaemonFC[m]I still don't understand why they refuse Gallium 9. Had to install it as a standalone.Jan 22 22:51
DaemonFC[m]Putting Direct3D in as Gallium state trackers makes more sense, especially since most recent hardware will be using Gallium3d when Iris lands.Jan 22 22:52
DaemonFC[m]Classic Mesa will be around basically for really old Intel stuff for some more years and then get dropped.Jan 22 22:52

DaemonFC[m]OOM Killer is moving into systemd now, basically.Jan 22 22:53
DaemonFC[m]Facebook wrote a systemd module to try to deal with low memory situations earlier and more intelligently.Jan 22 22:54
DaemonFC[m]I know MinceR will hate this but oom-killer in the kernel has historically been a disaster. It waits until the system is about to crash and then often picks the least convenient thing for the user to lose and kills that.Jan 22 22:54

MinceRif you think oom-killer in the kernel is a disaster, wait till you see oom-killer in systemd :>Jan 22 23:01
psydroidsystemd has become something akin to a black holeJan 22 23:05
psydroidsoon we will call the whole thing Systemd OSJan 22 23:06
DaemonFC[m]systemd does have one advantage over the kernel.Jan 22 23:17
DaemonFC[m]The whole thing can be distributed under the LGPL 3 or the GPL 3 if you want.Jan 22 23:18
DaemonFC[m]Torvalds not only can't re-license Linux, but _nobody_ can, and on top of that he smeared the GPL 3 and called it a "horrible political document".Jan 22 23:19

MinceRi don't see why i would care what license a piece of malware designed to take away my freedoms can be distributed underJan 22 23:35
danielp3344<psydroid "soon we will call the whole thin"> nah I think it will be just 'systemd'Jan 22 23:36
danielp3344then we won't have to argue about the 'GNU[+|/]' anymoreJan 22 23:37
danielp3344<MinceR "i don't see why i would care wha"> too far, I dont think it's fair to say it's designed to do thatJan 22 23:37
DaemonFC[m]I wouldn't be surprised if distributions start distributing BSD coreutils.Jan 22 23:38
DaemonFC[m]Android does.Jan 22 23:38
XRevan86Even Alpine doesn't.Jan 22 23:39
DaemonFC[m]I don't see why it would be bad. I'm sure that they include a "Linux compatibility mode" to cover non-posix behavior that Stallman insisted on.Jan 22 23:39
MinceRdanielp3344: then you haven't been paying attention :>Jan 22 23:39
danielp3344MinceR: educate me?Jan 22 23:39
MinceRwe won't have to argue about the GNU part anymore because they're killing it offJan 22 23:39
danielp3344It's hard to get into the anti systemd cult because they don't do a very good job explaining their positionJan 22 23:40
MinceRdanielp3344: the whole thing and its dependents are designed so that you have to run the whole thing, it has their decisions baked in, and if you try to fork it, you get to keep up with their insane random churn in the codeJan 22 23:40
danielp3344MinceR: I'm still running a lot of GNU hereJan 22 23:40
MinceRthen get into the systemd cultJan 22 23:40
MinceRit's "hip" and "cool"Jan 22 23:40
danielp3344I am :PJan 22 23:41
danielp3344but not for that reasonJan 22 23:41
MinceRdon't worry, all that GNU will become "unhip" and "uncool" because it's not "modern"Jan 22 23:41
MinceRif you even are allowed to run it on Gnome OSJan 22 23:41
danielp3344I still like GNUJan 22 23:41
MinceRi wouldn't say that too loudly in the cult if i were youJan 22 23:41
danielp3344MinceR: you're really hard to talk to when you wont stop flaming :/Jan 22 23:41
MinceRuh huhJan 22 23:41
MinceRwell, i have other things to doJan 22 23:42
danielp3344I was just trying to understandJan 22 23:42
DaemonFC[m]Stallman's main contribution to Linux seems to be abortion jokes, posix incompatibility, and a compiler that has proven to be fairly inflexible.Jan 22 23:42
danielp3344abortion jokes?Jan 22 23:42
MinceRDaemonFC[m]: he did contribute plenty to GNU/Linux thoughJan 22 23:42
MinceRtoo bad red hat's paying him enough to discard all of itJan 22 23:42
DaemonFC[m]It's not illegal for him to casually joke about abortion and rape, but it does deserve harsh criticism.Jan 22 23:43
MinceRbut yeah, we're in a shitty situation when it comes to compilersJan 22 23:43
DaemonFC[m]Daniel Peterson: It's in one of the GNU manpages. There's an abortion joke that Stallman put there and then refused to let them removeJan 22 23:43
danielp3344DaemonFC: which one?Jan 22 23:44
DaemonFC[m]It's not always immediately clear whether using Clang or GCC would lead to better results for the user.Jan 22 23:44
MinceRapparently it's easy to trigger DaemonFC[m] with abortion jokes :>Jan 22 23:44
DaemonFC[m]It just really depends on what you're doing and you need to test it both ways.Jan 22 23:44
DaemonFC[m]For some reason, I think LAME works better when built with Clang.Jan 22 23:44
danielp3344think?Jan 22 23:45
DaemonFC[m]Phoronix ran a bunch of benchmarks.Jan 22 23:45
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: That is true (the not always clear part).Jan 22 23:45
DaemonFC[m]Some programs were dramatically faster when built with Clang, including x265.Jan 22 23:45
DaemonFC[m]The x265 performance win was so huge, it was like 33% faster. Something like that.Jan 22 23:46
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: It's C++ I presumeJan 22 23:46
DaemonFC[m]When you're running an encoding operation that can take 6-8 hours on a fast computer, that's obviously worth considering.Jan 22 23:46
DaemonFC[m]C++ and assembler.Jan 22 23:47
XRevan86If it has been microoptimised for clang++, then I can totally see how certain things can underperform on g++.Jan 22 23:47
DaemonFC[m]LAME is old C code that dates back into the 90s though.Jan 22 23:49
DaemonFC[m]And I recall it was dramatically faster under Clang too.Jan 22 23:49
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: That's more surprising, and interesting.Jan 22 23:49
DaemonFC[m]Mozilla switched all their buildbots to Clang.Jan 22 23:53
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: For uniformity with Windows and macOS buildsJan 22 23:54
DaemonFC[m]Fedora was about to grant an exception for Firefox and then someone patched it to build with GCC with LTO/PGO.Jan 22 23:54
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, there's really not much reason to use Clang on Firefox or Chromium.Jan 22 23:54
DaemonFC[m]You certainly can, but GCC can build them fine..Jan 22 23:54
XRevan86It's really not about compiler quality.Jan 22 23:54
XRevan86Clang got some traction behind it, because it's… because it's… well, you know, permissively licensed.Jan 22 23:55
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, that certainly sucked a lot of the air out of GCC.Jan 22 23:56
XRevan86I wonder if it'll actually win over under GNU/Linux and whenJan 22 23:56
DaemonFC[m]Probably. Intel is heavily optimizing their code for Clang.Jan 22 23:56
DaemonFC[m]Including SVT-AV1.Jan 22 23:56
