    I suppose it’s the easiest way to try it out.

    I wouldn’t use it long-term, because you don’t want Godot to update without you knowing, if there’s something that needs to be changed due to an update. I bet a few people noticed the update from 3.x to 4.x…

    I’ve read it also doesn’t come with the C# support, so that’s one reason not to use Steam for it if you’re interested in testing that side.







  • I rather enjoy Tilix. It can tile a single tab without tmux and it can also give special handling to links matched from regexps. I use it to go from Python stacktraces to correct line in Emacs with just a click. It can also do Quake-like terminal, which I use alot.

    The project is looking for maintainers, though, so it’s possible at some point I need to start looking for alternatives…



  • Just keeping a single frame buffer image can take tens of megabytes nowadays, so 100MB isn’t all that much. Also 64-bit can easily double the memory consumption, given how pointer-happy the ELISP data structures can be (this is somewhat based on my assumptions, I don’t actually know the memory layouts of the different Emacs data structures ;)).

    But I don’t truly know, though. If I start a terminal-only Emacs without any additional lisp code it takes “only” 59232 kilobytes of resident memory. Still more than I’d expect. I’d expect something like 2 MB. But I’ll survive.




  • I doubt there would be a measureable benefit: after all, the kernel is already compiled without 32-bit support, and the code related to it just doesnt exist in the resulting binary. I assume there could be some small exceptions, though, like choosing to do something in a certain way so that the same approach will also work for 32-bit, and opting for another approach would perform better in 64-bit. That’s just a guess, though.

    It’s mostly about maintenance load.

    Btw, with PAE the host can have more than 4 GB of memory, so the limit would only apply to individual processes. Still quite feasible to use that kind of system even in the modern day–even if the browser can sometimes become quite large… And then there are of course the numerous embedded applications.
