How does it handle fixed-size epubs and (most important) how would you expect it to handle it?

Where do you download the OED dictionary? I've never found a source for it, and assumed it was not available publicly.

I also found all existing e-reader software to be lacking, and all I really wanted was a basic reader. I ended up writing my own with Rust and MyPDF (the latter doing all the heavy loading). The hardware is great, but the software is pretty

While op uses systemd/udev's internal property mutation mechanism to configure seats, not that sway (and likely other compositors) allow you to just configure the device-to-seat assignment in your configuration or even at runtime.

Yup, and it's quite non-trivial. The typical GTK application out there can't handle multi-touch and can rarely even handle several mouse events (e.g.: mouse-wheel scroll while dragging), so I doubt they have full blow support for

In fact, you can also have a different touch input devices per seat! I'm not aware of actual hardware that would make this feasible, but if you invent a touchscreen which recognises between two people's different fingers, you coul

You're forgetting about ASML, which is European and makes the actual machines to produce a huge portion of the world's high-end chips.

Perhaps it was a niri-specific thing (although they claim it's KDL), but it rejected simple strings without quotes.

by WhyNotHugo 2mo ago
I wouldn't call KDL "established"; it's honestly pretty niche. It looks _similar_ to pre-existing configuration formats, but KDL is very picky about syntax. I.e.: single word string MUST be quoted. In this same space, h

Pricing is actually far cheaper than that. There's two tiers of pricing: Chinese and US. If you sign up with non-Chinese phone number, you're bucketed into US, you get US prices, can pay only in USD and with American credit card n

'for' loops in Rust do the same: they create an iterator and then iterate over that. You can write the exact same loop with `let mut iter = v.iter(); while Some(x) = iter.next()`. 'for' loops in Rust are purely syntax

We had Linux phones. I learnt Python+Qt coding on a Nokia N900 (the N9's predecessor). I must emphasise on the "coding on" part. I would ssh into the phone and use it as a regular Linux box. Something which the article omits

The grass proves that it's actually fertile lands, and that there's resources for keeping it growing. Historically, using land with such properties for grass instead of crops was as sign of wealth, especially for large estates.
