@deploybarabsz @AgileJebrim @etscrivner @SheriefFYI The webview stuff is sad, sure, but this is a shitheap far deeper than just that. And they appear proud of skimming the top off. That's what's grating.

@deploybarabsz @AgileJebrim @etscrivner @SheriefFYI You can find tweets of the FilePilot dev posting that on startup window opening takes by far the most time, and they have to work around that by loading stuff on other threads while the window is opening. Again, I doubt that fixing this begins with a change to the scheduler.

The reason big companies historically can’t reform themselves is that there’s manger brain that sets in at a certain point and everything becomes satisficing requirements like this - that is, finding the laziest slop shortcut you can try to convince your customers is a fix.

Microsoft's hidden Windows 11 trick makes apps launch 70% faster. I tested it on a low-end PC, and early results are promising. Right now, when you click Start, open File Explorer, launch Edge, or right-click for a context menu, and there’s often that tiny micro-stutter before anything happens. Microsoft is now testing a feature called Low Latency Profile. Once turned on, and you do a high-priority action, Windows 11 briefly pushes the CPU to max frequency for 1–3 seconds, finishes the task faster, then drops back down. In my testing on a constrained VM with just 2 cores and 4GB RAM, the difference was obvious. Edge, Outlook, Copilot, and the Start menu opened much faster. CPU usage spiked to around 96–97%, but only for a few seconds. For high-end PCs, the difference may be small. But for budget laptops and low-end Windows 11 machines, this could be a real game-changer.

@Artoria2e5 @deploybarabsz @AgileJebrim @etscrivner @SheriefFYI Fair enough. even then from what I'm reading it ignores the power profile so I'm not sure it is a positive change.
My problem was more with the presentation. That and the reply pissed me off. It *is* a cheap hack if the goal was to make *their own* apps launch faster, as shown.
English
@deploybarabsz @AgileJebrim @etscrivner @SheriefFYI It's not like Outlook is a third party app. And why on earth wasn't the process the user interacts with already a high priority one? Years and years of bad decisions and lack of care that's why. That's why seeing slop fixes presented like panacea is laughable.
English
@deploybarabsz @AgileJebrim @etscrivner @SheriefFYI It's a cheap hack because it should be completely unnecessary. Immensely more complex applications used to launch instantly. what do you mean you need the CPU to boost to a speed where it does a *trillion* operations in this time window just so that slop opens in reasonable time?

@BIMBOSATTVA_ If there was something I needed to regularly shuttle across a whole ass ocean I would spend days building shit like waystations and resupply and navigation buoys, or nether higways, with their own aesthetic touches. Lot harder to justify that without a goal to work towards.
English
@BIMBOSATTVA_ Building is the fun part of the game but it's bad at getting you to do it organically. You can substitute that with aesthetic motivation but that runs out after a short while for most of us, myself included.

@rfleury About the only feature I wish you had is a scriptable bitmap generation view, specifically so I can make heatmaps out of sparse matrices. That and I find the watch expression syntax slightly unintuitive. Great work you're doing. Support for Linux can't come soon enough.

Someone mentioned to me that they missed a file tree view in the RAD Debugger, so they could easily browse their project folder hierarchy.
I then realized I had inadvertently already implemented it in the watch window.
English
@ONLYFACT_X @DustinWalper The fact I'm trying to reason with you when you apparently don't read your own reply, and that yesterday, however tired, I choose to engage with what I hope is just with obvious bait, and in an uncharacteristically condescending manner, means I have some reflection to do.

Two independent American companies can now do something China’s entire aerospace industry can’t.
Bullish on America.
