I agree, it is not silly at all. It is worse, it is pandering. It is selling an agenda. Conflicts are part of social interactions. The fact we use war metaphors doesn't mean we use violence, it is the opposite, we are replacing old-fas

I use grep and git grep all the time. This post is very welcome, it sums up my own ideas about grep in a better way.

Sorry, I forgot to add it was the mobile version of the 1080, which is indeed slower than full form factor.

You can learn Bulgarian instead. Similar script, different world-view. Айляк. A Bulgarian asks a Spaniard: – What does “mañana, mañana” mean? – It’s when your life is mainly drinking wine, relaxing, eating good food, and having loads of fun

Similar performance to Nvidia 1080 dedicated GPU. Would I get it? Absolutely yes. A full desktop small form factor is a very convenient, nice thing.

Just displaying text with syntax highlighting is a solved issue. I read such code every day in github and similar tools.

Yes, and I still believe editing text is painful on a browser and this is just putting lipstick on a pig. Keyboard shortcuts and auto-complete being important pain points.

As an experiment, it is awesome. We should strive to push the limits of technology and try new things. Kudos. I tip my hat to the creativity. As something practical, the author started with the wrong tool for the job (JavaScript), and then

I can surely appreciate this tech to put a small HUD in a car windscreen =)

That benchmark makes Go look good, and JS very good. The upper part of the table belongs to Go, and the very top is JS. The bottom of the benchmark table are all slow Python implementations xD

Python is glue, used to call and integrate other faster languages. Most of what is done with Python is calling fast C and C++ code. Back in ancient times, a software project I was working in, failed, precisely because of Python performance

/home/etc It is a backup directory owned by root. The reason is that it sits in the partition that is preserved, and it is outside my user folder, because it is better organized that way.

Yes, in general I have more issues going from one gnome version to the next, than changing distros. The gnome extensions need to be reinstalled, then they work and their configuration is preserved. It must be because I don't use KDE no

My system is different and simpler: The root partition / and the home partition /home are different. There's a /home/etc/ folder with a very small set of configuration files I want to save, everything else is n

Thank you about the unicode-math package. I will surely use it. About the presentations: All beamer themes look similar to me. Open PowerPoint template gallery to see how different the designs can really be!

What blew my mind is that a single company has such a good sales team to sell an unnecessary product to a large part of the world's IT. And if any part of it is necessary, then that's a failure of the operating system. It should b

I would prefer some tool that generates better e-books, like an improved ePub format with better equations and tables. This division between web and PDF is meaningless to me. The ePub format is a book format based on Web technologies. A bet

Two things interest me from this project: More templates than LaTeX. I have made PDF presentations in LaTeX, which look good, but they all look the same. Some variety is good. Unicode chars support. I prefer to type α instead of \alpha. Tha

In linguistics, such usage is called collocation. Agglutination is a different concept.

Kudos to the developers involved in this functionality. Faster boot times and more secure installations are always advantageous. I'm all rooting for this development. I've been wondering for a while why grub is still used, given t

Isn't the issue with Qt exactly what the GPL intended? In that case, any Qt fork would force him to also comply with the GPL, and supply the source code of his project.

Part of the problem is to just group all Covid-19 shots as if they were the same thing. They are very different technologies. I got a Pfizer–BioNTech booster, and it was of course fine. I don't want and would not get the Sinovac booste

Reminds me of Prezi, a lot more than it reminds me of Jupyter notebooks. However, as someone who prefers to create PDF slides using LaTeX instead of PowerPoint, I completely prefer a scriptable tool instead of a web-based tool.

I am waiting for the day I can use Excel as a REST API client, so I write the ID of some record in a cell, and Excel does all the work of calling the API repeatedly and fills the rows and sheets with the required information. This will kill
