    Isn't it easier to just backup via IMAP to maildir versioned with git? Does takeout include any metadata not accessible via IMAP? Does it even include labels?

    There were plenty of those, including commercial ones. It's pretty hard to find but ~25 years ago I was using Xi Graphics Accelerated-X which had 3D acceleration long before Xfree8…

    How come there are still no 4K 60fps KVM devices? Software solutions like Moonlight/Sunshine have been able to do that with near-zero latency for a long time and they are not even …

    Can it help with the annoying macos bug that about half the time disconnecting and reconnecting external screen to my MacBook does not move windows back to external screen?

    The C++ plugin is included in Android Studio which is essentially a distribution of IntelliJ. There seems to be no technical reason for not allowing it in full IntelliJ.

    There are tools like voidtools Everything2 and WizTree that directly read NTFS from disk device bypassing windows FS apis and are blazingly fast (faster than find/du on ext4 in Lin…

    Sounds like the only way out of this is to design language agnostic tooling protocols that anybody can implement.

    Where do you see pattern matching in Kotlin?

    Worked fine in a window but too slow when fullscreen on my Surface Pro 8. Should have dynamic resolution to maintain FPS.

    So why is it still pretty slow for file operations on DevDrive (no filters, async antivirus)? I found the performance improvement not that significant.

    Doesn't it (Windows VFS layer) also lack the equivalent of dentry cache, making all metadata lookups slow?

    If you go with sharding proxy design why not use Apache ShardingSphere? It follows the same approach but is far more sophisticated and mature.

    It's not really clear from OP that it's about rate. Cumulative limit would still fulfill requirement of stopping while(true) from exhausting resources. But if you need rate there's…
