Screen sharing was the last holdout. It works now, on both of my monitors, at different refresh rates, and I have not thought about it since.

I moved for the boot time and stayed for the config file I can read out loud. Neither of those was the reason I expected.

Closed the lid at 30 percent on Friday. Opened it on Monday at 28. That is the whole post.

It does not. The compositor is holding the key until it has finished restoring the surface, and the terminal never sees it at all.

A git repo and eleven symlinks. Every tool I tried was a way of not writing those eleven symlinks.

Two monitors, two scale factors, no blurry Electron windows. This took nine years and I am not going to be bitter about it in public.

The build system is the hard part. The code is a struct with function pointers in it, which you have written before under a different name.

The bug was a missing barrier. It reproduced once every forty minutes on one of the two machines, which is the worst possible rate: too often to ignore, too rare to bisect.

Same machine, same source tree, same 400 builds. The filesystem was worth about four percent, and the page cache was worth everything else.
