Huh? I never stated that Pulseaudio isn't necessary. I just pointed out a possible solution/workaround with ALSA and dmix for redirecting the audio output to two devices/pcm outputs. After years of using just ALSA and messing

I never had a laptop where plugging in headphones didn't disable the speaker (and nothing I could do about that in software). If that really is the case you could use dmix and have audio played on both the headphone and speaker output.

Yeah I found the animation distracting since it is so slow and keeps sliding in every time you scroll over it. I'm used to sites having transitions or animations as you scroll, but usually that's only happening once.

Some of the "Get Started" links don't work at all and the one at the top only asks for an E-Mail. It hasn't even launched publicly yet. On a side note: I found the website on my phone really annoying to read since lots

A terminal emulator is not a shell. Using bash has nothing to do with the decision whether you use the OS X Terminal or some third party terminal emulator.

Game physics engines update their objects (acceleration, collision, constraints/joints etc) only so often at a certain tick rate to leave enough cpu time for other things. You can have very precise and realistic physics simulations alr

Would be nice if there were a couple of example bots that you could try talking to/see some info about before creating an account.

Imgur has its own community. By now you can't even tell if something is posted on imgur and someone submits it on reddit or if a reddit user uploads something and it gets upvotes on imgur. I think that imgur can exist on its own and wi

Older IEs don't have Array.indexOf(). So you either have to extend the Array prototype or, you know, just implement it in a more compatible way.

How would they run *nix binaries in a node.js environment if they call it "Cross-platform Linux without the suck"? You are talking about Cygwin here which is what these guys hate for some reason.

Maybe people run most things maximized because window management on Windows is so limited? With 8.1 and now 10 you can arrange up to four windows on the screen without using the mouse, but even that is too basic to be useful compared to til

But apps access files, databases, listen for intents. You definitely need some adjustments by app developers, even if Android handles most of the implementation details.

And if you jailbreak your kindle you get SSH. I have my kindle mounted via sftp so I don't even have to send anything to amazon just to have it sent back to my device.

Actually I know several IRC channels that have bots that send messages for activity on GitHub, Twitter, etc. And writing IRC bots is among the easiest things ever. The IRC protocol isn't hard and there are lots of libraries, snippets a

The question should be "why not use a self hosted irc client instead". At least developers will use IRC anyway to get and stay in touch with open source projects and the countless communities that have their own irc server/ch

Sadly IRCCloud is still lacking one 100% crucial feature: a backlog search. I've been a paying IRCCloud user for almost 2 years now and back then they already had the search feature on the roadmap as "coming soon". The only w

Not the user you asked, but I took 800-1200mg a day for a while. Then I finally went to the doc to find out I was having a depression. So I unconsciously tried to treat my depression, which obviously didn't work out. The caffeine enab

I am not saying there is no need for more complex web sites. Personally I just think it is sad that in 2015 there are lots of sites that won't load anything at all if you disable JS or have a bad connection. With a 50k connection at ho

Considering that the average page size (first load) is getting bigger and bigger there is certainly some truth to it. Pages are getting slower and more complex and I see more and more browser tabs take 80mb+ for (seemingly) simple sites. I

You could implement something like the Levenshtein distance [1] which is easy and still very fast. It gives you the difference between two strings in steps it takes to transform one into the other based on operations like insertion, deletio

Indeed. The installation on my laptop is now 4.5 years old and was on 3 different laptops and 2 different SSDs and yet there is absolutely no need to reinstall. I maintain my system every now and then and never exceeded 1000 installed packa

Ah, nice. I was just looking through the github repo and found some config files for qt with color schemes. And yet my question stands: Why present a project like that?

by ne0phyte 11y ago
It's still weird to showcase a project with what is quite a strain to the eyes for most people.

I even thought the images might be corrupted, saved them and opened them locally haha. It really is an awful colorscheme and I wonder how anyone could think that's usable.

It looks nice, but, serious question, is there a reason why the UI in all screenshots is so dark and completely lacks contrast? I really couldn't look at black text or dark blue text on a dark background all day :/ Examples of wha
