I'm running Microsoft's Linux "kernel". WSL1 that is, where they re-implemented everything :)

Well.... I don't think I've ever used Expose. I don't use it now, that's for sure. Win10 has all I need. Alt+tab shows me Windows, not apps. Win+arrow keys will maximize, minimize, etc. Win+alt+arrow keys moves windows b

I've never been more happy with a desktop environment than when I used i3. The sloppy window management in macOS combined with the scarce selection of laptops (of which none are really good in my opinion) has led me to try win10 as my

I find it interesting that I know everything about the SpaceX plans for Mars (supplies mission in 2024, people in 2026), but I had no idea NASA has a mission to the moon in 2024.

I personally prefer windows as well. But I haven't yet been able to find a setup for it where all my unix centric software works. For example, if I want to debug in my IDE, I have to run it under WSL, since the project contains code th

I just started my own, and when I went to the music gear store to pick up a pair of Shure SM7B, they were sold out because everyone is starting a podcast these days... I tried to hide my embarrassment to the salesperson. We do put a lot of

Seems like it. Text is not selectable in the latest version of the flutter web preview, for example. But it's an early tech preview version, so I'll judge it more harshly when it's 1.0 :)

It works fine in Firefox and Safari too in my experience (just a small pet project). Not on EDGE though. But it is a technical preview after all.

Not really. Flutter has its own layout rendering engine, and uses low level APIs in the browser to circumvent the default rendering. This is what allows Flutter to do, say, efficient table views on the web, which is kind of a holy grail of

For sure! It's very important that I actually make sure I'm happy if I manage to get 30 minutes in though. It's important that I'm able to trust myself. If every session turn into a 45 minute session and I start feeling

Azure SQL is totally down for us as well. Unable to resolve the DNS for it, both from within azure (kubernetes pods) and from outside (my laptop). EDIT (23:37 Oslo/Norway): connectivity is restored for us now

Flutter/Hummingbird will be writing DOM elements, so it's not just an opaque WebGL texture.

by augustl 7y ago
Well, yes and no. They are implementing a rendering engine that supports things the web famously doesn't support, which includes fundamentals like UITableView from iOS. They are doing this by leveraging new APIs to access what browser

I have high hopes for Flutter/Hummingbird in that regard. When their renderer is implemented using web APIs, this is basically what we'll be getting.

I just got a 2 core Macbook Pro 13, because that's the only fast mac you can get today without a touchbar. I'm just not sufficiently pragmatic to spend any money on one of those horrible touch screen keyboards.

by augustl 8y ago
I was also curious about that. In other stories I've read, I've heard it referred to as a big ugly box with a touch screen embedded on top of it, which is what I imagined most people worked on. But this just looks like a normal iP

This is a really great idea. I could easily see variants of this happening. For example, companies could fund the students and get to pick first. I can think of at least 5 people I know that has the potential to become competent developers,

That makes sense, I don't see why not. Patreon probably batches this for me. I end up paying $15-20 a month (and growing) to Patreon, then they distribute that to the individual content creators. (Except that I closed my Patreon accoun

I’m in the habit of donating $1 a month to everything I come across that seems useful to me and that accepts recurring monthly donations , Patreon style. But I had to donate a minimum of $5 for my donation to be accepted. I wonder why they

Analogies are flawed, by their nature. In this case, we don't have a clear case of X, followed bu backtracking and claims of not really saying X. Instead, we have the same X, that some people interpret as malice and hate speech, and ot

What is the case for NYT labelling Carl Benjamin as "anti-feminist"? He was involved in gamergate, but I don’t believe he’s against equal rights for all genders. I suppose "feminist" means different things to different p

According to Carl Benjamin himself, the comments were meant ironically. He was reacting to a chat stream, which is missing context in that video, and the chat used slurs like this. So Benjamin used the slurs back at them. Having said that,

Really like the idea of using lazy ranges instead of magic negative indices! I.e `xs[6..]` instead of `xs[6..-1]`.

One answer to this is to have your raw "source" data stored as flat as possible (Datascript, RDF, ...). Then you generate nested structures (you could call these "views") as much as you want from this data. That way, you

How is WSL working out so far? I had a Sufrace Pro 4 for about a year, until I ditched it for a Dell XPS 13 running Linux (the Surface wouldn't run Linux properly). It happened when the x-org server suddenly stopped supporting retina&#
