Good recommendation. I've used this approach before but somehow had the impression that this doesn't work for OpenGL applications. Now that I think about it, I should simply give it a shot.

Maybe I should read the book, but somebody probably knows: Is there a set a default widgets when using QML?

Any thoughts about pros / cons when compared with Sloth?

As a German, I still learned a lot from the article. Thanks!

Just want to say thanks to the author for going the extra mile and making the article as visual as possible.

You don't see how "Reinforcement of monopolies" applies? You don't see how "Self-censorship" applies? The Cambridge Analytica scandal was involving facebook -- do you think they are really far apart from each o

Okay, let’s think about some side effects of having lots of potentially sensitive data nicely stored at one location: * Propaganda: Because you understand what people need to hear, it’s a perfect tool to influence opinion. Of course, this d

Professional game engines are not the only application for OpenGL, though. Many people would like to build cross-platform software without using major abstraction layers, such as game engines. This could be research software, prototypes, sm

I see that Microsoft is not a corporation that is evil by design and that they are doing exciting stuff as well -- I don't hate them. However, I am keeping my skepticism when they embrace open-source and am curious which 'actual e

One move from Microsoft that really disappointed me recently was to prioritize advertisement over user privacy, for example in Windows 10. I read big chunks of the terms and conditions myself and was horrified. There are many articles cover

You need to reach a critical mass of users. In contrast to Github, neither Codeplex nor Windows phone did that.

True. My days of google fan-boy-ism are long over :-/

I don't think you have to be altruistic to have genuine enthusiasm -- some companies have fantastic plans to support open-source as well as their business plans. But I agree with the first point you are making.

Well, because the strategy was really nasty stuff and acquiring github might fit into this kind of pattern.

Yeah, I am not saying I would trust any other big competitor more than Microsoft. However, I am still not convinced that Microsoft really changed as much as many people like to believe. I think it is obvious that they lost the fight against

For my taste, the article is a bit too high-level to build a meaningful intuition. I think a more complex example would be beneficial.

You could simply write header-only code (see keyword 'inline').

Can someone explain to me why this link has such a low ranking on HN, already? It's pretty fresh and has lots of upvotes. I was trying to post it, because I didn't see it yet.

They should really separate git and github packages.

Where exactly do I find the science here?

Who did before? Also, this solution would work with a newer release of wkhtmltopdf.

by TheCabin 11y ago
In my case too. I guess it is related to the wkhtmltopdf version and the woff fonts.

This isn't working, is it? Where is the script supposed to get the files ..., linear_algebra.pdf,... from?

I guess this could be automated. For instance, you could download all html files using a plugin like "Download Them All" with a renaming mask like " inum - name inum . ext " and then try: find . -iname '*.html&#x27
