Again alas, long lines is not the only large-file problem in Emacs. Though perhaps most of my woes pertain to Org-mode, but I had to look for a solution to edit large files in the past. This is probably the most current implementation of a

Emacs is actually quite poor at opening large files, at least comparatively—depending on the machine, 65K lines may be enough. However, there's an addon, i.e. a ‘mode’, that implements editing of large files somehow. Vim, on the other

You realize that you can do such a format with HTML? And ‘print’ to PDF if you wish? Truly my bafflement is infinite as to why people keep dragging in PDF when all they make is a bunch of text with maybe a few images or tables. My guess is,

Personally I long for a syntactic merge-tool. Every time Syncthing hiccups for some reason, I'm up for a merge session with my Org-mode files, in the vein of: ‘These properties look just like those ones, only with a different timestamp

Personally I'm waiting for a report showing that Google still swipes the location in some ways even when ‘location history’ and whatever the other toggle is, are both turned off. Because of course they do. Reminder: US police use Googl

That's not something that normal cats do. Cats do treat humans as play partners, and frequently scratch the hands and legs in such activity. But I've never experienced more than a boop on the face, from something like five cats (a

Perhaps the function shouldn't accept the unit of sec². Not least because I have no idea what a delay in that unit could signify.

Very nice. I actually wanted to concoct something like this for Anki, with large streets of the city—since in this sprawl I sometimes only vaguely know what's on the other end of it. But didn't think that web maps could serve me f

I failed a bunch of times to find a terminal differ that could display diffs and especially merges with convenience comparable to graphical tools like Meld, KDiff of Idea's built-in merger. So far the best I could dig up is `icdiff` fo

There's a folk belief (or maybe a legend of such belief) that when moving into a new house, one should let in the cat first, observe where they choose the resting place, and promptly install the bed there. I guess those people restrict

If you really think that in security of open-source people should tolerate a malware attack because the author says ‘oh, I'm fighting those Russians’, then I sure hope I'll never have to use any of your software.

Also: when ‘colors’ and ‘faker’ packages printed stuff in the output in an endless loop, NPM and Github banned the author and took over the packages. When ‘node-ipc’ overwrote all files on disk, NPM just waited while the author himself publ

So, if I understand the story right, the author was allowed to continue on NPM as if nothing happened? Even though the issue was discovered in the original version before he published updates? https://www.theregister.com/202

I'm way into my middle age, and I find the author an obnoxious and boring stuck-up who thinks that our collective recovery from the 90s' excess is now a sacred cow. Meanwhile, the discussed design is just a rather restrained and s

You draw the voxels on the screen. You color pixels according to the positions of voxels, and shove them into the framebuffer. IIRC Vangers could work without 3d acceleration (in the original release, at least), and possibly did not require

by aasasd 5y ago
Voxels as in ‘3d pixels’ have been around since the 90s at the least, as evidenced by Vangers. Later, some people took the word and used it to describe Minecraft, in the meaning ‘big blobs that aren't even the smallest atomic unit, as

Real shame that the ‘voxel’ word got hijacked for cubes, which are obviously polygonal. In ‘Vangers’, the map is made and rendered with real voxels. Now that's some shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9R7QJ5Sh1o Sim

The state and the church in Russia are dancing and courting for a long time now, just short of having the Tsar anointed by the patriarch. But not in pursuit of spiritual or moral purity.

They work pretty much the same way, so I think there shouldn't be a difference in regard to computer screens. As for the surroundings—I toyed with cycling glasses for a bit, which for some reason had amber-yellow plastic, and personall

To add static CSS styles, you need to know the structure of the HTML in advance, which the extension doesn't. And to modify the DOM—even to add styles on it—you need to traverse it, i.e. read. Plus, the whole job of the extension is pr

To redefine styling in CSS, you need to know the structure of the HTML for a specific site or page. If you don't know it, you need JS to poke in HTML, fiddle with the styles and hope that it works out alright.
