From a legal perspective I can understand such a wording, but I wonder why an engineer simply tells a (non-paying) customer that he violates the ToS, without thinking about it. I mean, one could simply wrap the content in a HTML body and ch

Up voted by a bot net, but still part of the 'Best' list ;-) Anyway, I enjoyed reading about Chaostron, even if it might have more up votes than it would have without the bot net.

I like this very much, especially because I love Audacity, but lately Audacity seems to be somewhat buggy as a native app on (Arch) Linux. With some versions I had rendering problems and buttons that didn't work (probably related to th

Recently, I bought Keychron K3 which seems to be a comparable devices. A key feature for me, are the F*-Keys, which are often not available in the small keyboard class. One thing that bothers me: The Keychron K3 doesn't have a dongle.

I find it funny that John seems to be such a fan of debuggers. One of the first projects I worked on, as hobby, was based on the Quake 3 engine (which was one of the projects Carmack worked on). However, especially with real time applicatio

Actually, the cookie layers of Google have become a lot better in recent months. I doubt that is was Googles initiative, so I think that all this legal stuff is making a difference. Yes, it is a very slow process, but what would be an alter

I just watched the whole video and only agree with about 20% of the arguments. It feels a bit like Bertrand Meyer is missing the point of Agile. Yes, a bit of upfront understanding of the problem domain certainly is a good idea, but IMHO he

Actually, I wonder if you are referring to the Xgl [1] demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQYk09CHOZs Maybe Enlightenment WM started using Xgl too, but AFAIK Compiz was the first implementation to make it usable. [1]:

So you are saying that MS Office products have 'truly great UI design'? You must be using a different version than me. The web-based version is full of bugs and the traditional desktop version is neither a good choice for well tra

My Samsung Galaxy S3 turns 10 next month and it is still in daily use as a second phone. The biggest reasons it is still working are the changeable battery, the sdcard and wireless charging. It consumed something like one battery per year,

And how do I build offline-first web applications with HTML over the wire?!? This whole HTML over the wire trick is actually pretty old and you can do some nice stuff with it, but it doesn't solve all the use-cases you can solve with w

From my very limited understanding of the software I understand, that it doesn't compare an earlier version with a later version as you would with hash sums, but rather utilizes ffmpeg to check if something odd/irregular shows up.

Just to give you an early warning: Someone else seems to have a project with a similar name. At least the Arch Linux User Repositories (AUR) have this package and it seems to be a different project: https://aur.archlinux.org&#x2F

A few months ago I tried a few KDE kwin scripts. Ultimately I went with 'Ultrawide Windows' [1], mostly because I like it better than the defaults and at the same time it is still simple to use. The Github page gives an impression

Just as an thought experiment: What would happen, if legislation would make it mandatory for cookie layers to accept the DNT header (Do Not Track) [1] as input and forbid to ask the user if such a header is present? Like DNT: 1 == no cookie

I found the book 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' pretty helpful to understanding how important emotions are when working with people. After reading that book, you wonder how you ever dared to break that rule.

I guess that chronic doesn't just show stderr, but also stdout if the command fails. If I am not mistaken, your example would hide the stdout output, even when the command fails.

The book "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries helped me understand what an MVP is about. It is about learning. So 'viable' doesn't mean someone can barely use it to do X. It is more like an experiment that should answer

KDE 4 has been fine since 2012 or so. I used KDE 4 from the first alpha versions (~2007) and never quit using it. However, I had friends who didn't like the mess that KDE 4 was in the beginning and who were very verbose about the good
