Wow, you're right, autotools dev work started a decade prior to Linux 0.01's release. And looking deeper into ./configure, there looks to be checks running here that only matter on old Solaris systems...
At least it's not node_modules
They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk
Terrible bait
Is that considered bait? I'll remove it, I don't mean to be hostile.
What do you mean by "more powerful" wrt CMake? Are you referring to, say, integration abilities with other projects (since know CMake is really widely-used)?
Thanks for the advice and the example!
Yeah I was considering using one of these two, out of curiosity.
I've heard complaints about CMake... on pre-2015 forums, so I don't know where it's at now.
I've done very little from the developer side of Meson but I do recall having tried a sound theme that, inexplicably, had a Meson-based installer. (It was just .ogg files iirc.) That's probably a good sign if someone picked it over an install.sh
Though you're right, there's probably little advantage in me not using a Makefile here, except again, curiosity
Gonna eat all the Wuxia pills.
Heavenly Pearl pill? Nom. Nine Color White Lotus pill? Nom. Holy Flame pill? Nom. You refine it, I dine it.
Once I eat all the dānyào Mike 'n' Ikes I'll either leave the room a Dragon Warrior or I'll meet Master Oogway in the spirit realm. Maybe he can give me advice on the Daoist approach on debugging C++ multithreading.
If my soul evaporates it'll be a bummer tho
I expect downvotes but:
Taking this from Jeggs' perspective, they probably believe you're trying to pull the

tactic. It's used enough to be known but not super widely known.
And the joke is
haha, fat people at British Place! How expectable
which was obviously received poorly by this thread.
Taking it from Jeggs' perspective -- again -- other communities may receive this more favorably, regardless of perceived offensiveness. (Yes, offensive jokes aren't completely bad. I've laughed at racist jokes against my race. IMO this meme isn't particularly interesting tho.)
Well, I don't mean downgrade him totally! Give him super strength or something but take it to its conclusion.
Authors realized this problem with Flash, so they added a mildly magic mystery Speed Force thing that solves the too-many-Gs problem with "nah he just slows time down or something and the Speed Force is mysterious and different" iirc.
But without the handwaviness he'd need to watch acceleration and calorie counts and speed up his thoughts and not slip and fall into an inertial death. If that makes sense (-‿-")
All of this stuff makes me wonder how hard it would be to make a fully pedantic story.
I've seen books where the hero was on the verge of winning but gets randomly concussed by a piece of shrapnel. Disoriented, hospital.
Another where the hero had hearing loss issues from solo pistol badassing too much, sans ear protection. (Forgot the titles of these stories).
But what would it take to meet everything? Imagine Superman. Now he has to mind his acceleration to save people. He also has to mind distribution of force, since he can't lift a plane without puncturing it. (Maybe he can make a little energy net under the plane somehow to distribute pressure?) And then he has to mind the Law of Conservation of Energy unless he splits apart matter somehow. And then this and that...
Will adherently realistic changes downrank most stories? I for one laugh my ass off when The Rock flexes his broken arm cast off in F&F.
I tried a bunch of boot-from-USB tests and it fixed itself. Woot
I see, I forgot about tampermonkey. At that point I can also just paste a bookmarklet into the script space itself and enable when needed.
Firefox-based mobile browsers unload pages for me when I tab away (maybe it's a Samsung killer thing? all outside of the scope of this question tho), which could be an issue, but if I'm careful then this method should do it. Thanks!
I couldn't roll back the kernel easily so I booted with linux-lts. Since this didn't resolve the issue, I assume it isn't a kernel problem (or it still is one and linux-lts isn't the right way to solve it). Same errors too.
I also tried Cheese on a few old rescue USBs (Kubuntu still on Plasma 5, old Devuan copy) to see if luck would grant me working drivers -- no dice.
Thanks though! x ᴗ x
Nice! How long did it take, and did you hit any roadblocks?
Must've saved a lot of money there.
