There is a (similar?) effort that takes inspiration from dwm: https://github.com/prabirshrestha/dwm-win32 Maybe you can take inspiration from one another... I'm really tempted to try them out, but I probably first

One of the recent features I most love in Gimp is "/" to search through the commands. (More and more graphics programs are adopting it.) Once you're used to it, you can create the ellipse selection and type "/s

In my eyes, vi is ok for system administration, but not for programming. The differences are not huge, but even if I have a "small" .vimrc with one single plugin, I have issues using the vim.tiny installed on Debian by default. Th

My personal answer: I'm touch typing. I can do so without looking at the screen. While I'm typing, I can think of what I want to say next. At least to some degree. Vim helps me to stay focused, to stick to my thoughts instead of h

in my experience, pygame zero works well with 10 - 14 year kids. i run a coderdojo and we have developed a system of cards that helps the kids creating a pong game with pygame zero. in two hours of our weekly meeting, they manage to - insta

It does work on my older xps 13... Just slap three fingers on the pad. But it's not 100% reliable. When I'm not using a mouse, I mostly prefer shift-ins... since the hand is already on the keyboard...

That's not true. Mozilla did not want (even slightly) modified versions of Firefox or Thunderbird to be labelled as such. The issue has been solved and, currently, Debian has renamed its package back to Firefox. On top of it, this has

it depends on what you want to do... but my general reflex is: - go to line 3 - start recording a temporary macro ("qq" in my habits) - do the editing - stop the macro ("q") - go to the line 16 with 16gg and reply the ma

Wordpress is 14 years old. It's probably a good reference project, when talking about maintenance (nightmares).

As far as i know it's (very) hard to do correctly. There are (small or big) differences among languages and it is not always obvious to detect ,if the quote should be converted at all, if it's a left one, or a right one. As a refe

I fear that you must be doing something very wrong... Or you did not find the rights word to explain your issue (to me). Do you mean that you, then, have to rebuild your project from scratch?

Hi Zebra, I might be getting old, but your request seems very strange to me. I have subscribed many mailing lists during my life and there is no single one that I could define in any way as "commercial". On the other side, Gitter
