It's definitely illegal if the employee was a EU citizen, but I'm not sure whether that's also the case if the employee isn't.

Honestly, compared to the 2007(?) 17" macbook pro and especially to the pismo... I find that my 2015 15" Macbook Pro already had an unpleasant keyboard, with wobbly keys and too little travel. I think the pismo and the 17" wh

They change the inputs to the painting application in a way that the user cannot influence; the app no longer gets the raw hardware take, but something that's "improved" and "smoothed out". And that's limiting.

We're really dependent on the Qt framework here. And they've been messing around with hidpi support for ages, and never, ever get it really right. The current state, in 5.15 is still "fractional scaling, well, deal with one p

Wacom. The very, very best is a second hand Wacom Intuos 3, if you can get a few spare pens. That's before Wacome started adding all kinds of smart interpolation curves to the tablet hardware itself. My Intuos 3 is eleven years old and

I'm surprised, speaking as the maintainer of Krita, to have a first video review already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7oFUmVfiww :-)

From internal evidence from the article, they were also a people inside the Chinese empire. Nothing to do with the Greek Solon :-)

There's Comac, with pretty much unlimited money behind it.

Meh. Pikers. Our campaign started in 1992, with a home-grown system -- https://valdyas.org/aurea.html -- and it hasn't ended yet. Though we've got a lot of arcs.

Do you also know how to use the install-dev iso to install the development tools?

That's correct. Initially we wanted to use corba, but quickly discovered that all that led to was complexity and performance problems. Then at the first KDE conference some people cobbled together dcop, which later morphed into dbus wh

What the place was called 3000 years ago is irrelevant; today it's called Israel, and that's where the archaeologists have digged it up. The article actually says "modern-day Israel" and "modern-day Britain" in

The cellars of my house date back to around 1000, and gradually, the higher you get, the newer the floors are. The roof is C19. The front facade was once removed and replaced, I guess around C18. We still have the sockets and the pipes for

The interesting bit about that is that "Alesia, and nobody knows where it is" as a theme in Asterix is actually biting satire on Vichy France. Very little in Asterix, until Goscinny died, is about Gauls and Romans, it's prett

Yes... My own codebase has 669 XXX's, 227 FIXME's and 1564 TODO's... For just 615,981 lines of code. And that's valuable information during development.

I guess you meant this to be sarcastic, right? Doltish, vainglorious, lazy and unfailingly boorish is what comes to my mind when I review the McKinsey people I've met.

I'm reminded of Mercedes Lackey's magically dwindling army in the Storm trilogy; where millions of invading soldiers turn into tens of thousands without much casualties. Also, I guess I've gained a bit of appreciation for WWI

No, it isn't. It's pretty valuable for Apple as a precursor to forbidding things like non-webkit html renderers even for applications outside the app store, though.

Or just drop Apple and macOS. Even for an application like Krita, for creative people, macOS is a laughably small platform, with a very small user-base, bringing in next to nothing money-wise, nothing contribution-wise, and it tries to forc

In the city where I live, Deventer, at least for the inner city, walking even outperforms biking. I recently got a bike again, but I only use it for going places that would take me 20 minutes or more on foot. Of course, I haven't got a

And if you use the Apple toolkits, you lose around 95% of your potential market. For my project, Krita, made with Qt (not QT, Qt...), 90% of downloads are Windows, 7% Linux, 3% macOS. And since Apple seems hell-bent on making people share-c

Two things: * Development and maintenance of Phabricator has slowed down a lot. * People were claiming phabricator was old-fashioned and confusing and hoping a merge-request based workflow would be more inviting I'm the maintainer of o

We won't, as far as I'm concerned, being the maintainer of Krita, the KDE project that gets most bug reports per year. Gitlab's issues feature just isn't powerful enough to be more than a developer's task list. Sinc
