Is exotropy really the opposite of entropy? I was glad to stumble upon this word, but on searching the internet, it does not seem to be. Could someone informed shed some light on the matter?

Do have a look at the second question in the FAQ :). I do find Helix very impressive. I remember the Python LSP working without any configuration whatsoever. However, I have vim muscle memory built over 25 years of use. I already struggle s

- GTK2 is only one of the supported widget sets for Lazarus. It supports Qt5 & 6 too. I feel Lazarus should switch to Qt5 or 6 until GTK3 is mature. - Hexchat IRC client is another popular application that is still stuck with GTK2.

Libre Office does allow customising shortcuts. I got peeved when Ctrl+Plus (or Ctrl+Shift+=) is not available to add rows or columns, but found that it is very much possible to add it within Libre Office Calc itself. From my notes (MD):- -

Late 90s and early 2000s were the best days for Reverse Engineering. +Fravia, Woodmann's forum and SoftIce flickers in the back of my memory... And yes, many of the old-school (and entry level) tuts were from the DOS era. ORC's?

It is already there and it works. https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs... There is a catch though, you need to download and install Termux & Emacs from this project as per the instructions.

This can be compared with fine art (as against photography or digital art), theatre (as against films), handmade (as against factory produced) etc. In all these cases, the originals occupy an expensive niche, usually beyond the reach of the

Insightful and pithy! Well written too... Along similar lines, after decades of struggling with the demands of multi-taskng, I came to realise that I am clearly incapable of it. I have now learned to work like Javascript. I have a list of i

An easier alternative is Ventoy. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html Install Ventoy on a USB flash drive. Copy the ISO - copy as in cp. That's it. You can add as many ISOs and select which one to boot with.

I checked the Malayalam page for David Woodard as I have native proficiency and also when it comes to translation to Malayalam, even the finer engines are patchy at best. Firstly, there is an alert at the top which says that the article see

Well, Bridge remains unconquered, although it is unclear whether it is because of disinterest or incapability. As I have highlighted before, the day a computer false-cards will be the day. (False-carding - playing a certain card with the p

Keep track of all TODOs in one's life. You can create TODO items and schedule them. You tag them (similar to hashtags) too. Now, if I want to see the list to things to be done today (or any day for that matter), Org Mode will generate

If there is one tool (if I can call it that) that changed my life, it is Org Mode. I was a Vim guy who in a desperate attempt to get digitally organised was forced to give Org Mode a try and got sucked into Emacs. I now live better organise
