Is it possible to make st more responsive?

I like st - it's lean and mean and slow as hell e.g. when I use the cursor keys.
OK, so the last one is hardly a virtue, but maybe we can teach st to behave more like urxvt, which is a faster, but more complex piece of software and uses more memory.
I'm using st with tmux, because st doesn't have a built-in scrollback buffer. st is pretty slow when moving around with cursor (or hjkl) keys, deleting with backspace or even selecting some text with my mouse, but it may be because of my old hardware, font settings or something else. If you want some info, tell me what exactly should I post.
st alone (w/o tmux) is just as slow. Yes, I know about the nice ways you can copy with tmux, move around with vim and bash+readline, but st still feels sluggish.
I'm happy with dwm+urxvtd, but I wanted to try something different and tmux is so sweet. st has no built-in tabs support and I yes, I know about 'tabbed', but I want to be tabs-less for a while.
Any st users out there?
I'm too afraid to post on the suckless ML ;P

I've changed acceleration method to the semi-legacy uxa and my st experience has magically improved.
Setting 'xset r' to something more aggressive, like 'xset r rate 200 30' doesn't hurt either.

  • Is it possible to make db_recover more verbose?

    If you use db_recover there seems to be never anything on the standard output. I'd like to get an info from db_recover what it has done (if anything).
    db_recover -v results in nothing, if done again results in
    Finding last valid log LSN: file: 1 offset 28
    But I have no idea what this means.

    Thanks for the additional explanation,
    Normal recovery examines the contents of your environment's
    log files, and uses this information to ensure that your
    database files are consistent relative to the information
    contained in the log files. This ensures that the changes
    from each committed transaction appear in the database, and
    that no changes from an unfinished (or aborted) transaction do.
    Therefore if you are not using transactions/logging there is
    no recovery. Hence, db_recover is not the right choice
    in this case. The verbose flag is not showing anything, as
    there is nothing to do. The recovery process will create a new log,
    and that is what is being read on your 2nd pass.
    The documentation in the Reference Guide on Berkeley DB recovery at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/reclimit.html
    details how Berkeley DB recovery is based on write-ahead logging.
    From that documentation:
    This means that when a change is made to a database page, a
    description of the change is written into a log file. This
    description in the log file is guaranteed to be written to
    stable storage before the database pages that were changed
    are written to stable storage. This is the fundamental feature
    of the logging system that makes durability and rollback work.
    If the application or system crashes, the log is reviewed during
    recovery. Any database changes described in the log that were
    part of committed transactions and that were never written to
    the actual database itself are written to the database as part of recovery.
    Any database changes described in the log that were never committed
    and that were written to the actual database itself
    are backed-out of the database as part of recovery. This design
    allows the database to be written lazily, and only blocks from
    the log file have to be forced to disk as part of transaction commit.
    Thanks again,
    Sandra

  • Is it possible to make db_verify more verbose?

    db_verify has no verbose flag -v yet.
    If there are errors these are printed.
    I'd like db_verify to output something like "DB xy verified without errors" if all was fine.
    Thanks,
    gbkka

    Hi gbkka,
    Why would you add an unnecessary option/success message in the main product? DB->verify returns 0 on success and db_verify utility exits 0 on success.
    This is the beauty of open source software, you can hack Berkeley DB (for 4.7.25 release I would look in db_verify/db_verify.c - line 242) and return whatever success message you want to have for the db_verify utility.

  • Is it possible to make an app that is like a three way (or more) instant messenger?

    so me and my frineds all ways text eachother. but we wanna know what other pople say to each other too. so is there an app that has 3 way instant messaging? is it possible to make one? if i knew how to use xcode and make apps i would get on it, but i dont. so im asking you guys for help.

    Assuming the pdf is contained in the application folder when the app is then compiled? Is the pdf contained in the app, or does it get installed somewhere?
    Sure, you can create an app that only opens up a PDF. The usual place for that kind of stuff is in the application's bundle, which Xcode will do if you add the PDF to your project.

  • The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

       I got error  "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I  found out the cause is  Update Item action

    Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
    Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
    Site Lists
    Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
    Tasks = 7711  (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
    Clients = 4396  (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
    Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
    Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
    A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

  • MFL: The dependency is not configured in schema resource. Possible reason one or more import/include is not set   correctly.

    HI Friends,
    I have a created a MFL to transform XML to Non XML format. When am generating a XSD out of this MFL am getting this Error:
    The dependency is not configured in schema resource. Possible reason one or more import/include is not set
    correctly.
    Here is the snippet of the XSD:

    <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

              elementFormDefault="qualified">
        <xsd:import namespace="http://www.bea.com/mfl"/>........
    Later Part i have searched for mfl.xsd in com.bea.wli.core.mflengine_1.x.x.x.jar in my.........../Oracle_OSB1/modules  and imorted this XSD into my eclipse workspace.
    Then i added the schemalocation attribute to the Import element. which looks something like below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

              elementFormDefault="qualified">
        <xsd:import namespace="http://www.bea.com/mfl" schemaLocation="../../mfl.xsd" />......
    After doing these changes also am getting the same error... can anyone help me out of this????

    Hi Arun,
    Also in SB console we can refer xsds from other projects but again OEPE doesnt seem to support that we will have to make duplicate copies of the resources in each project.It is not like that if you are using OEPE then you can not refer resources from other projects. Just what you need to do is that give relative path of the resource which is there in the file system. It does not matter that to which project it belongs. Yes, now with OEPE, you have to do this manually.

  • Is it possible to make two type of partitions onto an external drive?

    Hi,
    I'm on an intel iMac using Tiger and I know to back up my hard drive I need to choose the GUID partition and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order to be able to boot from the partition.
    So if I make 4 partitions is it possible to make 3 partitions GUID Mac Extended (Journaled) and then make 1 that is Apple Partition Map? I tried it and I couldn't figure it out using my Tiger Install disk and selecting Disk Utility option.
    My sister is using a Powerbook PC G4 also using Tiger and I want to make a bootable copy for her as well but just wondering if this can be done?
    S.

    Niel,
    Thanks, so if I format it all as APM I can either clone OSX 10.4.11 which I have on my internal now. If I do a backup of my intel and Powerbook PC both of those will already have Tiger on them so do I need to do another Tiger install on each of those partitions?
    Also by doing it this way I can't boot from a parition onto my intel can I?
    Guess I'll have to weigh whose system is more important or just back up her drive as GUID on my computer and she can restore from it if she has too but won't be able to boot from it.
    S.

  • Is it possible to make an air application maximizable/non-maximizable programmatically at runtime?

    Is it possible to make an air application maximizable/non-maximizable programmatically at runtime?

    Sort of. Technically it's a NativeWindow which is maximizable or not, not the app itself. A NativeWindow is created as maximizable or not via NativeWindowInitOptions, and it can't be changed after it's created. Now, when you setup the "default content" window options with AIR, the runtime is basically creating the first window for you as a convenience, with those settings. However, there's nothing stopping you from making your initial content nothing more than a hidden window which will create a new window as maximizable or not. At this point, it would not be hard to re-create your main window with different maximizable values. (This is also how I implement multiple-instance/window apps, since only 1 AIR app can be running at a time.)
    Hope that helps!

  • Is it possible to make a form in iWeb for people to fill in

    Is it possible to make a form in iWeb for people to fill in for people to subsribe

    There  are two possible form types that you can add to your website.  One is using a 3rd party form provider that, when filed in and sent, goes directly to you.  Expamples of them, JotForm and Wufoo can be seen here: Add Form
    Further down that page is the second type,  Form action forms, that use the visitors email application to send the response.  That may put off responders.  Take a look at both types.

  • Did you find camera raw 7.2 more responsive?

    hi
    did you find camera raw 7.2 more responsive ?
    i'm talking about sliders and lag
    i run it under w7 32bit photoshop cs6 normal update to 13.0.1
    thanks

    For me it's a little faster than 7.1 to initially show the dialog on an open (by a small fraction of a second), but about the same as 7.0.  It's a bit slower to open an image into Photoshop once the button has been hit, though.
    I haven't seen any difference in the control response - it was interactive with virtually instantaneous response before for me and 7.2 was the same.  An image quality issue, where the new Defringe feature doesn't quite work as well as its predecessor has caused me to drop back to version 7.0, though, and I do enjoy the faster opens.
    I posted a set of instructions for benchmarking your performance at the following link, though there is nothing there about control responsiveness.  You may want to go through that process, and also measure your control responsiveness.  If you can show that your system opens up Camera Raw and does the actual conversions at the same speed as others' systems, yet has vastly slower control response, that could make your point that you have a specific problem.

  • I downloaded a handwritten doc that is illegible, can I make it more clear to read?

    The document is an old birth certificate. I can't read the names of the mother and father. I wonder if thebirth certificate department will help me?
    In the meantime, does any one know of a tool that makes writing more legible? (I've seen such a thing on television crime movies.

    What kind of document is that and how bad does it look?
    Is it a PDF file or an image file (JPG, PNG, TIFF) or something else?
    If you can extract it as an image then you can try to improve the contrast or gamma with an image editor or use other filters in such a program. It may not be possible to do much about this if the quality is really bad.
