Personally, I have about a dozen related RFCs on my bookmarks toolbar due to a project that I worked on. I was referencing them constantly when I was actively working on that project.

Calling this "a bit of a slip-up" while neither confirming nor denying the presence of malware is weird at best and incredibly suspicious at worst.

Chiropractic, as a field, was created by someone who was adamant that he got the idea from a ghost during a seance. He then claimed to cure someone's deafness via spinal manipulation. Just go to a massage therapist or a physical therap

I've been working on building something using a Daisy Seed lately. Pretty amazing that I can have interesting sounds (and effects) generated in just ~200 lines of C++. And you're absolutely right about the documentation.

What would you define as "a formal medical background?" Schooling? The schooling that nurses and physicians receive is very different.

Maybe by Manjaro's maintainers, but certainly not by Arch's. I've been using Arch for a little over a decade. The position that I've always seen in the official IRC channel is that forks such as Manjaro are explicitly no

Manjaro is not Arch, and its maintainers have repeatedly shown that they aren't very good at maintaining a distro: https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

Huh, I actually expected there to be a bigger team working on it. In that case: I'm really impressed.

My quick skim of Wikipedia may not be telling the complete story, but it says the initial release was 9 years ago (February 2016). After nearly a decade, I would hope that things would be out of "extreme beta mode," but I guess th

I know I'm about to show my ignorance regarding GUI programming here, but: would SDL2 be a suitable choice? Or would that be too low-level? Or just...the wrong sort of library?
