   I learned English words like while, for and next from qbasic, for real (it had good help in your local language)

   Running a simple algorithm that flags specific words in liked tweets: meh, whatever. But why waste 350 printed pages of paper for that?

   Aren't working yet in Wayland, or never? Afaik they don't want programs to see each others pixels or input for security reasons (but thereby also breaking your own control over programs) so the following useful things will never

   Seems like in (mainland?) Europe people dare to use the actual word a bit better rather than hide the meaning: if the main purpose of the room is the toilet bowl inside of it, it's called a toilet or a wc

   Not signaling is also a form of signaling.

   To me cyan looks blue-green, really in the middle but also significantly lighter than blue, while indigo and violet both look purple-like I'm not a native English speaker though, and as far as I know neither cyan nor indigo are commonl

    Newton gave it: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet Imho, indigo and violet are the same thing (at least very close), and cyan is missing, so red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet would have made more sense But of c

    Lightweight, but written in EMACS aka "Eats Memory And CPU Superbly"? Just kidding, I know EMACS is lightweight for todays standards, at least compared to electron apps :)

    Yes, I played all Portal and HL+HL2 episodes natively from Steam in ArchLinux

    by Aardwolf 7y ago

    I loved HL2 as well, though I found the start of the game a bit linear, almost rail-shooter-ish (in fact even with actual narrow enclosed train rails, and vehicles that moved linearly). But that improved drastically mid game and beyond and

    There are too many different tradeoffs and dimensions to the problem to say that one sorting algorithm is the "best". E.g. quicksort without fallback has a denial of service attack against it.

    The most surprising thing for me out of this is that casting a high positive integer to double will output the nearest double which could be higher, not the highest one smaller than or equal to the integer value. Is there a way to get the

    A lot of games are receiving years or even decades of updates now though, such as minecraft, terraria, factorio, stardew valley, ... For better or worse, it's nice to get new features in games you love, but it were also great times whe

    In this case, wouldn't it be shorter to go down first, then to the right? What's happening here? https://imgur.com/a/xfAtkML

    I always found it odd about Mathematica that a low level programming language like C gets closer to mathematical notation with sin(x) than Mathematica with Sin[x]

    Never saw that in a package for Ubuntu or Archlinux, not even AUR packages. Maybe it's just not the target audience of such toolbars, but if there were I'd also expect package maintainers and user comments would deal with the issu

    I update every few months and that works out fine. More than a year of no updates could make it difficult. All you have to do is pacman -Syu, and it doesn't really interrupt your flow since you can just continue working while it update

    I actually remember myself having to fiddle more with Windows than with Linux, in the Windows XP days. Windows would always invent some reason to require some reboot, or get random corrupted system files, or vcredist incompatibilities, or f

    Looks like a language designed to be very hard to program in, yet have just enough rules and abilities to do powerful things. I don't know if it's Turing complete, it didn't get that category on the wiki page so nobody proved

    I never noticed this spoofing ability in Europe though. Can someone make a phone call and appear to have a different number (and is this about mobile or landline numbers)? If so, why isn't it being done at large scale in Europe to get

    This problem doesn't appear to exist at that scale (there exist some spammy call centers of course, and apps to block them...) in Europe. Not sure if that is legislation, technology or culture/economy related, and whether it'

    Those folders are normally in the bottom drawer, so it could not tip over very far, the bottom drawer would hit the floor. Even if there's a top drawer with folders, to open more than one drawer, a bottom one would be open anyway, with

    I think it's very considerate to not add lead to a business card people may put in their pockets.
