Well, SVG, while actually just being XML, supports embedded pngs/jpegs and can be exported to most raster-graphics formats from the command line. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but personally I love the possibility

Did you learn how to fly yet? ;) I think at that point, Arthur learns how to be less Arthur himself. I don't think things between him and Fenchurch would've worked out, had he been the same person he was at the beginning of the bo

In fact, I think The Discord desktop client versus Ripcord[0] illustrates nicely how much better a native solution can run. [0] https://cancel.fm/ripcord/

Damn, xstarter looks neat! I'll try how well it plays with the suckless terminal :)

Yes. For several reasons: The most important of which is, that we are not always online. Be it because we simply choose not to be, because we want our goddamn peace for once, or that we're actually in a place or situation with no inter

That's actually pretty cool - how do you accomplish that? (And on which OS?)

I like your typo in the last capslock, it accurately describes my capslock key ;) Though, that actually is interesting, and you made me read up ab bit on Japanese.

I just love how they used a SNES controller as the, well - controller.

A fun read every once in a while, but reads a bit repetitively^^ I love what he did if he gets hackernews as referrer though :P

We did play it a lot as kids, meaning my parents, me and one of my brothers - it's pretty popular in German-speaking countries (well, for obvious reasons)^^

Don't you have any problems with the locking mechanism being a bit flimsy? I agree it's a great knife, especially for the price, but the lock rattles around, even when I put it in place very forcefully... May just be my knife thou

It's probably not impossible - this guy[0] has made a midi-to-text converter, which i've been trying to use to make some simple tracks. With moderate success, but that's more my lack of practice and musical knowledge. edit: i

Whoa - he's responsible for infiniminer? Considering Minecraft was built on top of it, I wonder how much credit he's been given... Also, most of these games actually look like you could learn something from them, while having fun.

>>Colour would be nice too, but I guess that's impossible. Well, not possible yet[0]. In a few years the technology might be refined enough though. I also heard that the refresh rate is in the range of minutes for now, but let&#x

There's other languages with rather powerful macro systems too, red for example: http://www.red-lang.org/2016/12/entering-world-of-macros.htm...

I call fish from my bashrc (because I want it to be my standard shell, but It can cause problems with certain scripts) I've aliased push to git push, and done the same with git commit. Edit: Of course the aliases are in my .fishrc, but

In case of HhGttG, are you referring to the first Book, or to the whole series? I'm personally most fond of "Goodbye, and thanks for all the Fish" Mostly because it makes me so goddamn happy :)

That's a nice way of sharing notes - nowadays a trello board or something of the sort might be more accessible to the masses, but this format has its merits. For anyone using org-mode - is this approach similar? (I mean sure, it's

That sounds interesting - if I can compile to everywhere from linux, I might give it a shot. The language itself or its reputation is not a problem to me, as long as the syntax isn't quite brainfuck-like and the performance not complet

Did you know Carmine is still in use as food coloring (E120)? The thought of having ground up bugs in my food is a little offputting, honestly... And hey, at least you can't accuse them of clickbait-ism ;)

Honestly, many apps could just as well be developed with red[0], maybe not in javascript, but with the smoothest cross-platform compilation I've ever seen. Runs in 1mb of ram, and the download size of most apps made with it won't

In the case of reddit I heard, that - at least in the very early stages, the creators themselves provived a lot of the content, and even hired some people almost exclusively for that purpose. I can't remember where I read it though.

Is this a serious product? Im wondering, since from a user perspective this sounds quite disgusting, and somewhat dystopian...

That's not strange at all - I fondly remember flipping through the pages of the Art Book I got with the first Dark Souls - I still use it for reference to this day, the motives make good drawing practice :)

Same, but with st[0] - besides being one of the few git repos I downloaded which compiled on the first try. (I actually had the luck to hear about i3 when setting up my arch install for the first time, but hell yeah I agree on that). [0]st.

Or maybe, has anyone here ever used Gnu Smalltalk? It looks quite nice - even though I don't know about the cross-platform capabilities.

I may have seen to many sci-fi movies, but this sounds rather threatening: >>It [Sophia] accused him of "reading too much Elon Musk," and said, "don't worry, if you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Tre
