  • We slowly need to interface with an app at work that uses fixed-width too. It does not sound that bad if you hear it but it sucks to figure out where you are missing whitespace when most fields are not used and therefore all whitespace. Oh, and of course there are a lot of fields, also are aligned/formatted differently based on their type and has thin/no/wrong documentation. And I have yet to find a simple but decent “debugger”.




  • THAT is very shitty. My problem is that after using it for a bit apps start freezing for a split second all the time. Most notable is firefox. The frequency and duration of them increase steadily. Then opening a new program might freeze the system fully (or wait minutes/hours until it unfreezes). It has something to do with memory allocation “according to” dmesg.

    Edit: should have been a reply to “just keep the tab open”… Anyways, just keep the tab open. Maybe you stumble upon it again when closing some urelated tabs.

    I still have tabs open from when I researched for my paper. That was… some years ago. It must be more than 3k open at this point since it was 2k already some time ago.

    Fun fact: firefox many moons ago would take a veeery long time to open. That has been fixed for quite some time now. Also, I think they stopped bombarding DNS queries for every open tab… Fun times when you opened firefox and nothing would work for some time because the DNS servers temporarily blocked you.
