Agree with your post except the adjective "simple" for a network video player. Decoding video/audio and talking to the right OS APIs and GPU is far from simple. It is reasonable to implement a http1 client from scratch by han

Talking to the users, allowing them to show you what they are trying to do with your software, almost feels like cheating, because of how easy things suddenly appear to be when uncertainty fades away. Obviously, the number of uniquely diffe

Yep, on my aging phone it takes quite w noticable amount of time to go through. But on my more recent laptop wnd workstations, it's a quick flash of a manga lolita.

You can set your own shortcuts in KDE. And there is a setting in the screenshot tool to auto copy to the clipboard.

And the difference is more useful in the more common scenario of editing code and checking it. Though those days, language servers like rust-analyzer do essentially replace cargo check. Taking the alacritty project and modifying the source

I have been complaining about journald abysmal performances for almost as long as I can remember. Here is my latest documented benchmark from 2023, which was slightly better than the one I ran in 2020. $ time journalctl > /tmp/

I get this so often too. And on so many websites, the verify your are a bot comes back after what feels like only a few minutes. Combined with how slow modern website are, I feel a sense of dread opening any website. Asking an LLM feels low

I would 3D print (FDM) standoffs in PE with integrated pockets to insert magnets. You can even insert the magnets during the print if you fancy. Though my preference goes to a slide in pocket. PE sticks to itself and not much else. Packing

For anybody not getting the reference, standard glue gun glue is obviously applied freshly melted and hot, and it is dissolved/debonded cleanly with isopropyl alcohol.

This is one of my favorite section of TAOCP! Thank you for the link.

Does the article just end after describing the problem for me only? I am left wanting for more.

And before any major change, add a `--v2` for early adopters and `--v1` as default. Nobody should notice anything on `--v1`, any regression must be fixed imediately. Flip `--v2` as default, leaving `--v1` for the unforseen. Until you can fi

I have always found the term "capacitance multiplier" misleading. I see it as a voltage regulator with a filtered input.

Very similar experience for me. Also no faces, but a feeling of who the person is relative to my self anyways.

Click on the picture to open the full size version. Click history back to get back to the text. I noticed I am afraid of clicking without opening new tab today because so many times the UX is broken and loses it's spatial position.

This is great. But this doesn't cover the general expectation of a desktop application. I want application to know the screens, send windows to know positions etc etc. And this is now compositor specific. So some applications will know

I use pinned (always above + on all workspace/desktop) quite often. And to make it ergonomic I scripted kwin and set some shortcuts. So yes, you can have any window PiP the way you like. But it requires you to do a long sequence of act

Indeed, Linux allows anything but "/" and "\0" in filenames. Those days its reasonable to refuse utf8 filenames. But one must always validate first!

Don't know what you are being down voted (or my grand parent comment for that matter). You are very correct.

If you are going to be pedantic, go all the way. 2^21 is 0 to 2_097_151. Unicode codepoint range is 0 to 1_114_111, slightly more than 2^20 (0 to 1_048_575). I would argue that Unicode v2 onward; circa 1991 (Unicode Consortium and the ISO&#

In summary, Unicode code points (characters) are 32 bit. JavaScript manipulates Unicode in utf-16 for historical reasons, because at some point before Unicode, 16 bit was deemed enough (ucs-2). utf-16 run length encodes Unicode 32 codepoint
