This is why distributions are moving towards Wayland and container-izing most applications; this allows each application to be in its own sandbox with no capability of interacting with other applications without the user/system's

Currently writing a clipboard manager[1], I've seen some things as well. - So far ran into two applications which don't even implement the X11 clipboard specification (ICCCM section 2) correctly - xsel and Emacs (patches submitted

Very nice! FWIW, I can't figure what to do on the "ride the line" level. I don't understand what the motors do exactly (powering both motors simultaneously makes the car go sideways) and what the sensors are sensing.

DKIM provides integrity, which is what is important here.

Have you heard about GNOME's Client-Side Decorations Initiative? The gist is that GNOME does not want to implement/maintain window decorations (title bars, minimize/maximize buttons) in their Wayland compositor, so instead (i

by CyberShadow 5y ago
It's worse than that. Window managers simply cannot exist in Wayland, because the compositor is the only actor which can also do window management. This coupling is one of the biggest design faults of Wayland. The platform-specific fun

I think a big part of Wayland's limitations is in its protocol, and are "by design". Getting Wayland to have feature-parity with X would require extending the protocol, and then implementing those extensions in both composito

Things I wish mc had: - Extensibility (e.g. Far Manager has macros, plugins, and scripting; mc has none) - Better file system navigation (pressing Ctrl+S every time to start isearch when entering a directory is cumbersome) - Better history

I remember this holy war. :) I think Far Manager wins in extensibility and being FOSS, and Windows/Total Commander wins in out-of-the-box utility.

Any suggestions for good performance and extensibility? I've tried a few but kept coming back to Midnight Commander for performance/stability and VFS support.

To reiterate, the example is trivialized; there isn't always an elegant solution that you just can't see because you didn't think hard enough. Regarding the hard line width, "fit everything on the screen" is a poor

Unfortunately Black will reformat code which has only been indented/outdented, causing false diffs even with "ignore whitespace changes".

by CyberShadow 5y ago
One missed opportunity in Black's algorithm is that it currently treats the maximum line length as a literal hard limitation in number of characters. Here is a trivialized example: to_add = [item for item in data.new_items if ite

Another issue with the "Once Upon a Time" style is that it's impossible to distinguish an empty list from a list containing a single, zero-length element.

No, that just means that there is no encoding sent in the header (or HTML http-equiv tag). Anyway, it's back up for me.

With a greedy solver (minimize word pool for the next step), I got ARISE (168) -> BLUDY (13) -> COMET (2) -> NAVAL (1) -> CHUNK. I think five steps is as good as it gets, as 5*5 is about the size of the alphabet. Edit: I stand c

I don't think a sync plugin would work. Entire parts of CopyQ's architecture would need to be redesigned, which would affect the rest of its ecosystem. You can read the issue I filed in CopyQ's repository back when I switched

I don't have Microsoft Word, but most applications allow pasting just text using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V. Edit: I see Microsoft Word doesn't natively have that shortcut, but there are two ways to "implement" it here:
