And let's not forget that you need theming support so your OS can accommodate people with different vision requirements. So you can have a low-contrast theme, and a high-contrast theme, and a red-green colour-blind theme and so on. And

I tried the demo back when this was still called Coati. Very impressive, but not quite suitable for my current job. I didn't have time to fully evaluate it at the time, but these are my impressions from trying to use it on our codebase

These days you can just publish a PDF and every browser will display it properly.

The DVI one looks a lot better to me. The PDF has some chromatic aberration-like effect on the letters that's really disgusting.

Ripping them is exactly as illegal as torrenting while being harder to do and the tools to remove DRM from content are under constant attack. It's easier to just torrent.

Yeah, you don't torrent hollywood shit, that's well known. For that you either pay the troll toll or take the high road. I've personally chosen to just not watch hollywood movies and my life is a lot better off for it.

i.e. Emacs? Or Vim? Or VSCode? Especially with language servers there isn't much difference between the three, except that VSCode is a bit primitive in the editing department, but if it works for you, by all means.

It has little impact on fasting cholesterol, but absolutely raises your blood cholesterol after eating it. So e.g. you eat one egg, you get a spike in blood cholesterol. Wait 8 hours, it's gone. So it would seem that if your baseline f

Calorie restriction is different to starvation (at least as usually used). When I'm actually starving, I do feel strangely energetic. Your body takes time to switch into starvation mode and during that time you do feel lethargic. IIRC

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question i

You'll need to examine the binary generated for a particular architecture by the driver. It may work on one driver+GPU combination, but be slower on another. Also, the semantics for floating-point math are somewhat looser in GLSL so th

To me it makes more sense to destroy said money, which in effect creates a slight deflation and makes everyone richer. Money is not zero-sum after all, it's created and deleted all the time.

That's an interesting take on the ol' Ponzi scheme. Take in money, then ban people for violating terms of service. Pay out only the very few who would be truly a problem.

A maybe more horrible idea, but also more fun, would be to deliver not an HTML that infinitely loads, but an mjpeg like webcam monitoring software does. Server-side rendering taken to the extreme.

90% piracy is about par for the course. Doom and Quake's was even higher IIRC. It basically tells you that your game runs on cheap PCs and poor people won't spend more than 5-10$ on a game. Steam sales and region-based pricing are

Oh I see you didn't get to caveat 5: you can't read anything more complicated than raw bytes, i.e. chars, because of unaligned memory access errors. Let's say you mmap a file and do something like this: char *fileContents

It still incurs a nontrivial runtime cost, unless you've ifdef'd it away in release builds, but even so it is a heavy price to pay in debug or semi-debug^ builds for things like container operator[] bounds checking. The best imple

Hi, I have experience both with the ergodox and the now-discontinued Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard™. The TECK honestly has a slightly better layout for me - the two halves are closer together and seem to fit my hands just a bit better.
