Well, to be fair, then it's precisely a theoretical concern about hardware sovereignty.

How curious! So am I, and that is the project that I am the closest to regretting open sourcing. I made the mistake of also implementing keyboard and mouse monitoring---you know, so I could write automated tests for the input parts!---and o

I don't speak Farsi, but some Arabic, and the Farsi alphabet is related. The letters are completely different in pronunciation: with one dot, it's like the English letter B, and with two it's either like Y or the pronunciatio

I, personally, think you can have nice things like this and they will not get abused. If the right to forage mushrooms on a non-industrial scale, or to walk along the shore next to a house without disturbing the inhabitants is given, in my

I read the article twice, because the link title made me think that I as an open source contributor and publisher liable for complaints. My reading of the text is that the one actually selling the software product is the one having to abide

Yeah, I was hoping the `clap` macros would perform some unthinkable magic there... I will have to update the help with a listing. In the mean time, have a look here[1] for the possible values. [1]: https://github.com/moses-p

The main application is actually a thin wrapper around a library that does exactly that, so the best way would be to not perform the final step of turning the data structure into an image.

A kind soul contributed an update to the README---basically the output of `cargo run --bin maze-maker -- --help. I guess today's lesson is: do promote your personal project even when it's semi-arsed, because people on the Internet

No, you'll have to exercise your own CPU I'm afraid!

This, I presume, it's the perfect opportunity to promote my own maze generator[1], which incidentally is a Real Application that you can run on your own computer, and the output of which you own! Like the linked application, it support

Ah, this brings back memories! A long time ago I maintained a fascination with this, during which I made an application to interactively explore a labyrinth using animated auto-stereograms. If this tickles your fancies, you can find the cod

My favourite part of the article, hailing from a part of the world _sans raton laveur_, was the explanation of "Raccoon trouble" for purchasing a lot of potatoes. What's with raccoons and potatoes?

it is not missing: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3210/compiz-windows-e... . My eldest son has it running on his account, and I predict that later today those wobbly windows will also burn... EDIT: correct

And of you would consider it taboo, would you still if the same generic sequence were found in another species?

I find it curious that somebody so invested in recreating a medieval mead does not put in the extra effort of procuring long pepper and grains of paradise---those are certainly spices always present in my spice box. I have never made mead m

I think supply is not the only thing to consider. I suffered a SARS-CoV-2 infection around Easter, and received my first vaccine dose a week ago. The days after that I felt much worse that when I had the actual infection, albeit for a short

A friend of mine aliased `git status` `git statsu`; I, being lazier, chose `git st`. Any time saved I lost by not copying his other alias, `c = commit -amSTUFF`...

What about gettext _N? I have used a library with a similar interface, and we didn't even get complaints for Slavic languages with very complex pluralisation rules.

I think that the reasoning against shipping apples across the globe is that consumers do not pay the full price; one might argue that the transportation is subsidised by our extraction and burning of oil at a rate much quicker than it is fo

Thank you :-) I have been silently reading linked articles and comments here for a couple of years; apparently I needed a reason to push my own semi dormant project as well as an actual computer to finally register.

I have had that as a low-intensive side project for the last three years. It's amazing how responsive a virtual touchpad you can create using touch events + HTML 5 + websockets!
