#wayback, a small project gluing together wayland components to turn Xwayland into a full X environment, is now published: https://github.com/kaniini/wayback

there's definitely a gazillion bugs, which will need work across the entire stack to solve.

however, unlike Xlibre, this is a sustainable path that is intended to reduce the number of X components in distributions.

I posted this meme I made in my local hackerspace chat and immediately someone took it seriously

Rust 1.88.0 has been released! ✨🎊 🦀

This release brings you let chains, naked functions, automatic Cargo cache cleaning, Cell::update, proc_macro span locations, various as_chunks methods on slices, and more!

Valgrind is an instrumentation framework for dynamic analysis tools. It translates your program into an intermediate representation (VEX). Valgrind tools (like memcheck) transform/instrument the VEX representation. Valgrind then uses classic compiler optimizations on that internediate representation. And finally the VEX is translated back to machine code.

Florian Krohm made a list of missing constant folding operations: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506211

Take a peek if you would like to hack on Valgrind!
