https://jmtd.net/ I've been blogging for about 20 years. Exactly what I write about has changed over that time (of course), but in recent times I've been writing about my PhD (applying purely-functional programmin

Me too. I have a simple static site/blog with mostly textual content going back to around 1999 and I'm lucky to have a reasonably unique firstname/lastname combo (ish); my blog currently is top on Google and Bing.

Thanks. I didn't know that, but I don't install FB because of some other stuff I heard they did (like monitor the mic). Likewise messenger. I do access FB, but only from within Firefox, which I use soley for that purpose.

I'm trying to determine whether iOS apps could sniff my clipboard, and i haven't proven that they can't; it doesn't seem to be a specific permission that needs to be assigned or can be denied. And thus using 1Password on

For ultra purity, there's basically only Chocolate Doom (or DOSbox and the original game). For modern features (but losing the Doom "feel"), (G)Zdoom or Doomsday; for stuff in the middle, Doomretro, Crispy Doom, Prboom+, Eter

Doomretro is lovely, but if you really want a close-to-pure-as-possible experience, look at the (parent) project Chocolate Doom.

The OP's example ( is-positive-integer) has tests, and is only three lines long, and is on major release version 3.X, because despite all that , it had serious problems in versions 1 and 2.

The user interface/experience of PGP/GPG is not great, and that could do with fixing. However if you already understood how to use PGP (and granted that's unlikely for the users Mint targets), then you would not have been cau

They almost certainly are not moving ATA commands over those ribbons, so SATA wouldn't be much use.

Perhaps the title-writer has been infected by the BBC news editorial policy. They seem to be turning clickbait titles into a fine art, combined with renaming articles so you think it's a new piece on the same story, but turns out you&#

If you need 8G of resident memory to have the apps you want running then you need 8G... no shortcuts. That is a pretty high figure, though. Afaik things like disk caches aren't restored during a suspend/resume.

Yeah a video would be a good way to demonstrate this but it would take a lot of editing to do properly and I ran out of time last night and really wanted to get this out. I might post a follow up video later.

Hi, article author here: it was the pitch shifting behaviour in particular that I wanted to explore when I modified the random table. Early versions of doom (<1.4) did it, but they accidentally removed that feature with a rework of sound

I suspect the fact there's GNU Guile, an entirely in-house Scheme ecosystem, has a lot to do with it. Use Python and be beholden to the Python community (outsiders!) Use JSON (as someone else suggested) and be beholden to the Javascript/JSO
