That's exactly what this is, a marketing blurb. Was this unclear?

Not being open source is the thing that the program in the article fixes. You want the goal of the software-writer to be producing a good tool, not using the software as a means to turn a profit. That's how you get the turd being repla

I want org-mode markup support for the wikis and readmes. Github supports this, and gitlab sorta does. You should hook up pandoc to it, and support everything it can handle.

Great writeup. Along similar lines, the East fork of the San Gabriel river is a bit outside Los Angeles. It has a dead-end road with two tunnels to nowhere, abandoned in the 1960s. Below that is a massive bridge to nowhere that connected to

ARM boards need a custom kernel and bootloader. These aren't things managed by the distro. The userspace IS managed by the distro and IS standard. Using yocto to manage userspace maybe made sense 15 years ago, but it has long since bec

Modern SBCs are just normal computers and not "embedded" in the traditional sense. You can generally just use Debian, and spend time on the actual project, instead of wrestling with the system

At least with android devices, you can plug in any usb keyboard, and have it work. Those are free, in the garbage all over the place

A dedicated key for all window-manager things is what people that have thought about it do (I use the "windows" key). But keyboard manufacturers haven't thought about it, so sometimes reasonable things aren't possible. I

It sorta looks like they're trying to reinvent Debian, and kinda failing?

Debian has their own nvidia driver packages (it's nvidia's drivers repackaged in a nice way that integrates with the system well). I can't say if they're "outdated" or how different they are from what ubuntu sh

Debian is great, and is where the distro development actually happens. What doesn't it do that you want?

GNU Make has a debugger. This alone makes it far superior to every other build tool I've ever seen. The cmake debugging experience is "run a google search, and try random stuff recommended by other people that also have no idea ho

I'm suggesting that people creating build systems read the make manual. Surely this isn't controversial?

If you think cmake isn't very good, the solution isn't to add more layers of crap around cmake, but to replace it. Cmake itself exists because a lot of humans haven't bothered to read the gnu make manual, and added more cruft

I use vnlog and feedgnuplot to massage and plot data on the console all the time. It's even less than a tui, but might be what you want.

Hello! I'd love it if this and mrcal could work together. Do you support mrcal .cameramodel files? If not, can you do that? Is your splined representation compatible with the mrcal splined stereographic model? If not, can it? Is your s

I would love for us to move past the idea that non-pinhole projections have "distortion", and we should strive to remove this "distortion" by reprojecting stuff to pinhole models. In practice, ALL projections distort str

This is real clunky from a browser. https://caltopo.com can do this from a map (right-click on the viewpoint, point-info, simulated view). The horizonator ( https://github.com/dkogan/horizonator/ ) is a

Look at pyfltk also. I haven't used the windows builds, but it's real nice on GNU/Linux.

Huh? I contribute to Debian; I don't aggressively patch anything. You can too.
