Yes, but it's kind of anticlimactic isn't it? If the issue was SMTP/protocol, then spam within the gmail network wouldn't exist. But it's not the case. The main issue is that email is designed to accept messages f

This is the job of your linux distribution: it's not just a pile of packages. It includes the bridges required to rebuild each package for the infrastructure of the distribution. If you really want to have everything rebuilding from so

I think the article misses the mark. The #1 problem is spam, but spam is mostly a social issue, not a technical one. Case in point: 90%+ of my spam is currently delivered by google. Either using fake accounts and/or hacked ones. That s

Fully agree. There's a lot of value in providing a change summary which is _not_ tied to development history. Even as a dev, I usually don't care about your PRs. I'm pretty sure there will never be a 1:1 PR/feature histo

I love/hate info. On one side, info can be more than a manual page, and contain _usable_ references. I suppose you know about the "all in one" manpage bundles such as ffmpeg-all and zshall which are there just so you can sear

I had a lot of other big technic sets at the time. I remember this one, and I also remember my parents telling me it was too expensive. They were not joking. Not too long ago I wanted to gift a technic set and I was shocked at the prices. T

The counterpoint is that it's now actually useless to craft a query that tries to match exact terms, because there's this extra layer on top of it. So you might be lucky if the inferred intent of the engine was correct, but good l

Oh I'm fully aware. This scene has been going on far longer than the current wave of mechanical keyboard craze (and it often doesn't emphasize switches as much either). I consider the two groups completely distinct.

As other posters mentioned, the recent "mechanical keyboard" subculture is all about show and boasting. It's not a surprise it seem to have boomed with gaming rigs and streaming channels. The keyboard in these circles is all

I have to agree. I'm currently using tridactyl, but due to the webext limitations it's far from what even vimfx could do in terms of consistency. On top of all you said, when you realize not only the browser has inconsistent short

Ideas as in "search some term, get a not-even-vaguely-related picture collection you cannot see unless you log in"? Or the "ideas" that also happen to hide where that very idea came from? Pinterest is scourge for a text

I do the same for projects I'm looking at, and I'm on linux. Gives a good understanding of the thing you're looking at. There are many things you can tell by looking at the build process. There are some things I do not agree

For starters, chording requires significantly more hand coordination than a normal keyboard. This is a significant show-stopper for many. Think about all the people you know that still have to look at the keyboard to type, that type just

Not strictly everything , but this rings very true to me, especially for the front page.

I'm a bit surprised by this. 2mm pitches are well printable at .2, although I usually don't use the stand ANSI/DIN profiles, but limit the overhang profiles manually depending on the material (from 45 up to 70, really) to imp

Magit is not particularly fast on *nix either. Most of the UI operates on buffers which are prepared infrequently, so the latency doesn't have significant impact. This is a very good UI design for magit itself, since staying within ema

by bsdubernerd 5y ago
For the sake of discussion, can we get some contrarian views? I'm using magit, along with tig, plain git and sometimes (!) even plain "vc", depending on context. I'm in the camp that thinks it's ok and it's pre

I assume this happens on very small threads and/or with thick layers? I print both depending on size, and a full thread is usually more self-supported, not _less_, while printing faster to booth. Toothed threads tend to suffer from cur

I don't see a command-line or daemon backend. Not really comparable, even if I happened to use kde.

syncthing is excellent for sharing also between groups. I wish it worked better for occasional file sharing (for example to transfer files between phone/pc). I don't want to keep it running in the background - just sucks too much

openSCAD has a few operators to highlight/isolate the current syntax block. Have you ever used those? Working on a project using openscad is not that different than using other cad programs: you should split your model into "modul

Yes. I couldn't. The alternatives were worse. I need remote banking (travelling too frequently). No alternative allowed plain login without a second factor. I've seen other banks here _charging_ for the hardware OTP dongle separat

This is not exclusive to Dell. Many laptop makers started to intentionally disable S3 for the "enhanced" S2. This was/is true of Lenovo as well: for roughly 6 months S3 was disabled completely on the then-new 3rd generation Y

I wish I could upvote you more. There's nothing about "freedom" in this post, it's all about developer's convenience. It's easier to keep local changes and push them later if the upstream is not changing much

What about lldb? Has anybody had extensive experience with both to say anything about the actual debugging experience? Does it offer anything more than just "infrastructure"?

Which is actually the case. In fact, audio is the best examples where everything can plug into almost everything. padsp (if I'm not mistaken - not at the prompt right now) does just that.

The OS is all about resource sharing and allow a minimum common level of interoperability. Smalltalk can provide a storage abstraction, but to interoperate with other things it needs to be able to save data in a way that can be loaded back

This sounds problematic from a debugger perspective if the function does any sort of side effect, and I'd consider this a bug as well. In fact, I'd probably argue that causing user-code to run at debug time is not a good idea even

I'm not sure why companies think that restricting usage this way improves their product in any way. You need a different build, and an online account to do something that should require neither. Heck, I can only partially understand
