The utility of a window manager like sway is stunted by many applications implementing their own window management facilities. Sway doesn't only support tiling windows, it also supports displaying multiple windows as a single window wi

MDN says desktop Safari supports vp8/vorbis in webm, which should be compatible with the sway project's values, but mobile Safari doesn't support any free video codecs from what I understand. https://developer.mozi

I was in 7th grade in 2008. Facebook had just started to become popular at the school. Crucially, no one had a smartphone. People weren't going around posting pictures of what happened in school. I'm sure there was gossip in oth

Make your application directory read-only to the user running the application, as it ought to be anyway. Automatic dependency resolution however... Fantastic for experimentation, but that's a dealbreaker for production. Maybe it would

The technical meaning of "sentient" is "capable of feeling". It's opposed to "sapient", which means capable of thinking. It's a reasonable adaptation of the term to have it mean "capable of trans

This isn't really that kind of piece of software. It's a work of art, but more relevantly it's meant to be a conspicuous component of other people's art. That means an air of mystique is a selling point. It's weir

Typescripts goal is to allow using existing JavaScript idioms while gaining the advantages of static type checking. I don't think it's too bonkers for the type of a variable to change within the same scope, as long as there's

Sway should have all the benefits that come with being a Wayland compositor, like security and less screen tearing. It's also got a few extra features. Here's a few that I find neat: Window drag-and-drop (a bit janky still, but fu

There's video compression going on when they do that. If that's what you want, VNC works just fine.

This is noneuclidean, in that it violates the axioms of euclidean geometry. 1. A straight line may be drawn between any two points. 2. Any terminated straight line may be extended indefinitely. 3. A circle may be drawn with any given point

I don't know why you're getting down votes, because yes, I did. But my point isn't that contractarian ethics is how we should make decisions, it's that it's what's driving the grandparent's moral intuition

Pretty much this. Fortunately the command you need is usually a quick Google search away, and a sequence of basic invocations of branch, checkout, merge, rebase and commit are usually enough to transform the DAG however you want, even if th

It's kind of similar to the syntax of uri query strings and the php syntax for appending to arrays, in that an extra pair of square brackets indicates appending: In php: $a[] = 1; $a[] = 2; # $a == array(1, 2) In URIs:
