Hm, based on what's reported by our new CPUs with embedded non-resettable "work units" counters for tax purposes? Like gas/water/electricity counters at homes? One side result could be that people would start (over?

For any commands or pipelines, you can use: :cex system('git grep -n foo | grep bar') | copen then :cn and :cp to step through the list easily.

Hm, I didn't intend to convey a message that "Nix is more horrifying than Arch". For me, it's actually the other way round. Never tried Arch; but at some point in the past tried Gentoo for a few seconds, as well as Slack

The problem with relying on "pure practicality" is that one may come dangerously close to opportunism and psychopathy. There are ideas which may be super- practical , yet plainly evil. At risk of being rage-downvoted: it's ch

Is there a chance you could reconsider and try sharing some of the details of your setup? I never imagined one could try doing something like that, and even now that you triggered my imagination (and after reading the link), I have hard tim

I've recently started experimenting with NixOS on my secondary (testbed) laptop at home. (My main home laptop has Windows, while at work we use Ubuntu.) Based on that and posts on this thread, I'd say if you're willing to c

As to the "related question", see answer I got in a related subthread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13277071 That's probably what created my vague memories.

Is anybody aware of any compiler/tool which tries to enforce those rules? ideally, on code blocks enclosed in some special markers?

The problem is you must keep all those "misfeatures" in the back of your head when trying to code "in the modern way". If you'd really try hard to ignore them, they'll just show up now and then and wreak havo

Can anyone recommend a good book/website about OpenCV that: - is for a total noob in the field of computer vision/image recognition/... - explains all (or most of) the algorithms etc. in OpenCV (they often have weird names,

Can anybody estimate roughly how big can this end up physically, and how fast it can get in clock Hz or (better?) ops Hz? Also, how many discrete components it might take?

http://vfmd.org has an exhaustive and unambiguous formal spec for (a variant of) Markdown. As a bonus, it's easy to understand, nicely extensible, and has an example implementation. The only drawback I'm aware of is th

I wonder why VFMD ( http://vfmd.org ) isn't the choice among people picking a Markdown specification or parser? Well specified, unambiguous, easily extensible, with a reference implementation, open-source. I'd imagine
