Author of libgrapheme here: Both collation and normalisation are non-trivial and have many gotchas thanks to the way the Unicode consortium likes to write their specifications. I sometimes get the feeling that they don't even care abou

Thanks for your work on packaging my library. Please let me know if I can make the process simpler for you; I take great care to make packaging as simple as possible for the packagers. Likewise I have no sympathy for those writing software

Thanks for recommending libgrapheme. I am honoured, being the author of this library.

Thank you! I'm using just an editor and the terminal, nothing fancy. :)

Look at sndio if you want to see how sound should be done. Excusing the horrible mess pulseaudio is with the horrible state of Linux Audio doesn't cut it, when OpenBSD has been offering a superior and simpler alternative for years! It

When I saw the new Ghostbusters trailer in the cinema (yes, I still go there), I thought it was a parody film. I'm not kidding. Nowadays, people always try to find ways to be offended. A women-led movie got bad ratings? It must be the

Yeah, I agree. Though, Vulkan is meant to be low-level, kind of like an ASM for Graphics Cards. The euphemism of the article's title is too much though imho.

So can one assess this is a racial problem after all? For years, liberals tell us the high poverty of negroes and hispanics was due to lack of education. If it's not education, what is it then? And why are Asian-Americans not facing th

If you are passionate about coding, work on free software or build a team with which you work on stuff. This is much more rewarding than doing unpaid work for your boss on code that will probably never see the light of day anyway. There is

"What about other areas and under-the-covers code that just needs rework? Just do what I do, and work on it on your own time." Yeah because doing unpaid work for your company is the way to go. Get a life and learn t

Exactly. The mess glibc is is giving C a bad name. Look at the musl libc for how it should be done.

LFTR's are very safe, but the current technical challenge is actually building containments that can handle heat + flouride salts. The tritium formed during the nuclear reactions is also challenging to handle, as it passes through thos

Now we can at least explain with code examples why Electronic Arts Games suck so much.

Using the term "net worth" already uncovers the fact that you are a business rat. Let the real engineers do the work and stop stealing their guts. All those business school people ruined the corporate sector to a degree that I fin

I totally agree with you my friend. Same applies to companies literally hoarding lawyers and economists. I don't understand that they do not realize these people bring no benefit to a company other than laying off key people and fillin

When it gets hot, the FED prints money (they call it quantitative easing) (for 5-year-olds: throw money at the problem). Look at 2008, where they ramped up the money stock like crazy. And afterwards, all these upward bumps were quantitative

The broad scope of this topic won't be justified in a short comment like this, but it's general knowledge that the economy goes in cycles. My special area are rare earth metal bonds and EU government bonds. The derivative markets

I'm preparing for a crash in 2016. Unlike back in 2008, when the FED was able to "balance" it out by dropping the interest rate to almost 0%, we now won't have an airbag to save us. The crash will come, sooner or later,

In Germany, a "study" is often cited saying that men were better paid than women. However, peer review uncovered that the media covering this study omitted the fact that the women also worked less hours than men and thus got less

That is a very good point. It's easy to cite studies to support one's position. I could easily find studies which show that diversity actually decreases the mean IQ of the population. Now, evaluating these studies, we might then r

It's the american notion that in politics there can only be liberals and conservatives. In my opinion, it's a more liberal notion to actually choose people based on their skills and knowledge rather than skin color or in the inter

I bet it's part of where we had our experiences. In Germany, it's almost exclusively leftist. It doesn't get in my way, because I care about the technology and don't think politics have a place there, but many people do

I'm with you brother. It's a hard fact to accept that the majority of the tech-world is leftist. And for those who think I'm wrong: Imagine company X sent 4 white blond-haired blue-eyed women on the stage with a "message

I've investigated this topic for a while. I've been thinking about adding a mandated wide gamut color space. Even though the wide color spaces "destroy" accuracy in small gradients, it doesn't matter when using 16-B
