Beyond Compare Download For Ubuntu
Marva Richardt
That's similar to what the link in CooCooC's post says, except that it translates the return value of beyond compare into what subversion expects: 0 for no difference, 1 for difference. That gets rid of the error messages and aborts that otherwise get in your way...
faster? you are kidding right? it is now slower than windoze. worst of all is the snap crap. firefox snap is memory hogging, slow same is chromium. both cannot access external apps like the gnome extensions ( i know there is the extension manager. i use it.) snap is just a performance killer.
i am comparing the deb version from the mozilla testing PPA that is built against the same libs as the snap and is at the same application version. despite the PPA not being supported at all, the binaries should be identical, so this should give empirical data to compare packaging influences.
since others that commented above seem to also not see your issues either, have you considered that there is something systemically wrong with the snap support of your system, do other snapped applications expose similar behavior for you ?
as i said chromium has a similar behavior. but other apps i use seldom, so hard to say if vlc or thorium is slower. cups seems slower, but there are many factors involved in printing.
nevertheless i avoid snap stuff like hell. afaik snap is sort of a protected environment (which is a good idea), but as VMs it uses more resources. the good thing is also snap takes care of the dependencies.
but imho linux/ubuntu should have closer look to apples toolboxes instead of zillion libs needed and the dependencies are gone, too.
i did not measure on my laptop yet, which is an acer about 5 years old.
i am an it architect and i see hardware older than 10 years used. even 16.10 was used by dev-ops just 3 years ago. companies do no longer invest millions in new hardware. hence many apps need to run on older hardware.
The more interesting question is why "sorted.compare" works the same (which is not in the stdlib, but in Foundation). And this is probably because the Foundation implementation is the same. Pure luck I'd say, do not rely on it
In actuality Swift does (technically) guarantee Unicode-correct string ordering, with the exception that Apple doesn't use Unicode-correct string ordering on ASCII-ASCII string comparison, Apple uses ASCII standard string ordering when both strings are purely ASCII, which is faster.
Finally, once it is agreed that the default role for String is to handle machine-generated and machine-readable text, the default ordering of Strings need no longer use the UCA at all. It is sufficient to order them in any way that's consistent with equality, so String ordering can simply be a lexicographical comparison of normalized forms, ...
This is the old behavior. Prior to Swift 4.1, Linux used UCA with DUCET ordering and comparisons. To improve performance on both Darwin and Linux (especially older Ubuntu's), we implemented a new comparison implementation for Swift 4.2. This new implementation is the same across Linux and Darwin, so both platforms get the same answer.
Right now it is the lexicographical order of the NFC-normalized UTF-16 code units, not the scalar values. It's likely that we may switch it to the scalar values in the future. The only place where this would cause an ordering difference would be BMP scalars beyond the surrogates.

It's totally absurd that hardware vendors like Dell, HP, Sony and Lenovo still haven't gotten their act together on the Linux front. What kind of a mediocre answer is "Sorry, we only support Windows"? Dell has the XPS13 with pre-installed Ubuntu, but 13'' is too little screen real estate for serious development and it's not even available outside the US.
Then I found this really nice post which helped me a lot and looked at System76, Zareason, PC Specialist, and Mountain. PC Specialist will sell you the hardware with no OS installed, but won't support Linux either -something I hope they fix in the not so distant future. System76 and Zareason are very experienced in this field but delivery to Europe is around 100 USD extra, which I could better invest in additional perks for my laptop. Mountain was an extremely attractive option for me. The design and the quality of their laptops is beyond compare and they are based in Spain -which is a plus to me. But at the end, I had budget limitations and the the PC Specialist option allowed me to save a bit on the SSD front. So I got myself their Cosmos III model, with an Intell i7-4810MQ 120 GB SSD drive, a 1TB HDD, the Nvidia GeForce 480M and 16GB RAM.
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on it and I have to say it totally ROCKS!!!
I'd been flirting with dumping Windows for a while. Never did before because I was afraid of unforeseen compatibility issues with the networks at the office, etc. Then my Windows laptop crashed for the millionth time and that was it. If it comes to that, I'll just make due.
Happier than I could have imagined with my brand new Ubuntu laptop. Not looking back. Good bye, Windows. You can keep all of your slughish boot times, bloatware, useless registry issues, blue screens and out-of-nowhere freezes. Ubuntu is just too cool for you to compete.
The finishing on the laptop is great. I'm very pleased with it. Everything works perfectly except I still have to get a few things done to get the Nvidia GeForce to work properly. I only wish PC Specialist would get their act together and start officially supporting Ubuntu some time soon. I think there's more than enough demand to justify it. I mean, everything is working fine for now, but it would have been nice to have that little extra assurance that it would before purchasing.
In a nutshell, if you're as tired as I was of your Windows machine not performing up to your needs at all, and don't have the budget for a Mac solution, do consider Ubuntu. It's come a long way in terms of usability. Installing software is a breeze with the Ubuntu Software Center -Installing Skype, Gimp, Firefox or VLC has been absolutely no issue. You'll get an OS with a tiny footprint, no freezes, that boots lightning fast and just works with any workload.
