Good point. I'll make a note to add some documentation to that effect. I didn't think of it originally because I didn't expect this much interest in my project.

Yes, through the state option (xdotool calls it windowstate). I was confused when implementing it, because there appear to be three different fields: maximized_horz, maximized_vert, and fullscreen. If you want total fullscreen (covers taskb

This solves a few issues in xdotool for me: Window selection allows for multiple criteria at once, and I can also reject windows. I'm also able to use the window manager's client list as a source, which makes getting toplevel wind

Quoting remme.io: > No more passwords — no more break-ins. REMME implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks. This is laughable. Nothing is unbreakable.

c9 helped when I was back in college. The desktops there were locked down with preinstalled tools. c9 was better than what the college had, and I didn't have to worry about saving my work. Once I was home I could sync the changes.

As someone on the higher-functioning end of the spectrum, I think it does. There are some traits I have and issues I contend with that I believe are based on Aspergers. Examples: Sensitivity to non-harmonic noises, especially loud ones. The

Author here. That's roughly what I was shooting for. Python was a big inspiration early on in the design, and later on some functional concepts were put into the mix. I found them and liked them too much to pass up on. One advantage of

Yeah, that's a mistake on my part. I pushed a fix just now. Thanks for the tip.

I'm not sure if it's still the case, but I remember a few years ago how commercials would get shorter over time. Take a single commercial, and start off showing all N seconds of it. Then, later, just show a brief section of it, an

The extra time I have is usually 15 or so minutes before starting at work. Sometimes more than that, depending on how smooth traffic was getting to work. What I've been doing lately is to do programming. On my phone. I have a secret gi

This seems all over the place. You're marketing this to, what, people who have experience in C and want a better experience? Why is there a readme link to download a .zip of the repo? I know how to clone. Why is there a link to wikiped

I'm currently working on a programming language (Lily. See this name on github), and this is really helpful. I've been thinking about adding debugging support, and this will help a lot toward doing that.

I really hate what seems to me a new trend of co-opting terms to muddy the waters and confuse the issues. This guy is not in support of NN. That's it. Ideally we'd have so much ISP competition that NN wouldn't need be as nece

This is possible exactly because Java is statically-typed. Java's type system works over the operands, and does implicit conversions before the expression gets a chance to run. It sees values and does implicit magic from left to right.

As someone who's writing a programming language, I find this to be utterly terrifying. At least start with some small tools to make sure the basics work! Somehow I doubt they had a good testing suite too, which is so very important whe

You might think this is a curse, but as someone writing a language, people like yourself are a blessing. Exercising the weird cases that the original people overlooked and filing a bug is really, truly helpful.

Some languages, such as Scala, have a mix of FP and OO concepts. Some FP features make use of TCO, so this helps to make them a first class citizen.

What other serious alternatives are out there though? I know of Firefox and Edge. But aren't Opera and Safari now reskins of Chromium, to some degree?

As the sole maintainer of a pretty big repo, these are all super helpful. Another is that, if the project in question is compiled, add in a gdb trace. It's often the difference between "I know exactly what this is and I'll do

I don't see it as being that cut and dry. These new features would have to be focus tested, designed, tested, rolled out, and tested some more. There are maintenance costs for it, as well as additional configuration to present to the u

I wouldn't be so quick to call it squandered potential. Sure, that person may have studied history and now works in Amazon. But perhaps some of the lessons they learned from their deep study at some point have a parallel to their job.

It's a mixture of problems, this just being one. That's as much as I'm comfortable talking about here. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
