  • You should always measure first before blindly following dogmas.

    Then you follow it by doubting it without measuring:

    I doubt that the choice of serialization format is what dominates processor time in this case.

    Also note I was not just speaking of today, but with future additions and changes. You can’t measure the future, but you can plan ahead and build upon a good foundation, that the small format can be used for extending it in future. That’s the idea. Also to test what you suggest they have to build the entire system years and waste lot of time and effort.




  • Performance matters a lot, because program can autosave in quick sessions after simple steps. Even more important if multiple images are edited or loaded. While this is not the biggest improvement, it is still something to keep in mind. Performance should always be a priority. Programs will keep expanding and add bloat over time, so its good to have a format like that in mind.


  • JSON comes with builtin data formats that XML lacks, that’s why you have such overhead with additional validation. Everything in XML is treated as strings, and there are lot of stuff like entities that is totally unneeded for a file format like in GIMP. XML Schema is needed because the format is extremely complicated unlike JSON, if you have no other validation. GIMP itself has validation builtin already.






  • What makes this Chatbot client different from just using it in the browser? My first thought was, it might get special permission to better interact with the system, like the agentic tools do. I assume it can better integrate into system with the taskbar maybe. Or maybe this is more efficient than just running the webbrowser. Or it might have special commandline arguments with special options?

    Oh… wait its just an entire browser running a single tab. Alright then. Why does this need to be an app on its own? To me this is as useless as a native browser based Discord app… Just bookmark it in your browser and open it there. You can even customize it even more with browser addons.


  • Ah! I’ve seen a few times some artifacts with my RX 7600 on KDE too, but not on max/min, but randomly. I couldn’t reproduce it, so it is really hard to talk about such subject. As it just recently started (I’m on 7.1.6), I guess this is the same issue. Wondered if this is an issue with KDE or Krohnkite extension or my GPU dying.

    So glad it’s “just” a bug in the Kernel. This is just a visual issue right? It doesn’t hurt I hope.


  • “The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility” (44:14mins) by Gamers Nexus on August 14, 2023: YouTube or Invidious or Internet Archive

    This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor – by staff’s own admission – quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as ‘only’ entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.
