A LOT of features have disappeared on BMWs in the last few months. I looked into trading in my X5 (2019) for a X5 45e (plug in hybrid) but it was missing quite a few bits that came as standard before. Like, fog lights. Or the heated/co

Hate to tell you, but I've been using sid for well over 20 years, and it is usually more 'stable' than most distro out there.

New one as of this morning is to kill STOP processes it doesn't like. I have no idea why, or how to revent it. All I did was update my 'sid' debian and here goes

I've used Berkeley DB for decades, in many projects, many time having to have a yelling match with other people who wanted to use one of the large spaghetti plate "database".. this was before the "noSQL" trend, and

I don't know what the rage is all about with Eclise really. I'm a hard code dev for 30+ years, kernel, embedded, I do a lot of C, last time I wrote some java was in 1995 to give it a spin, none since.... ... And I use Eclipse CDT

especially since the english pronunciation, as listened by a french speaking person, means literally "hit with fat", bringing to mind someone fishing off a creature by slapping it with a large piece of pork belly :-)

I love that "coup de grace" is listed in the examples, as it's actually... French! Reminds me of the famous (fictional?) quote of Bush president saying "There is no french word for entrepreneur !" :-)

Exactly what I thought when my scripts started spewing that annoying error. Even busybox has a 'which' implementation applet which (aha) is a debian based one.

I use a similar approach in libmish [0], ie I "reserve" the bottom 2 rows, and output the scrolling text in the top parts. Pretty straightforward. [0]: https://github.com/buserror/libmish

Errr, I switched from Apple (II, and mac) after 20+ years of being a professional developer to -- Linux/embedded. To be fair, I was also a UNIX developer all that time, starting with Minix all the way back then, to Pr1meOS, HP/UX,

Why I don't understand is, why is nobody talking about Crystel? She sold something she didn't own betraying the trust of everyone, and yet, nobody mentions her. She went to hols and xmas parties, she was "elected" by p

possibly because the israelis already have all the imagery they would want anyway, and the blurring is only a problem for people who don't?

When I was about 17, I worked with a chartered surveyor (aka géomètre) on digitizing the whole path from Lille to Paris (france) and use the "computer" to split the polygons that were digitized by a team of people using "cada

You heart might survive, but your joints probably won't. The stress you put on them when running/sporting when young will come back to haunt you later on! Don't ask me how I know :-)

I've got at least a dozen soviet film cameras; Zorki 1s (one of my favourite), Zorki 3's (and the "crown" of the collection, the 3c). I've got a Zorki 1 that is /at least/ as smooth as my Leica IIIc, it is

This is very cool! Do you know how old is the data, generally?

It's still used in England -- my accountant (old school) writes to me as "Mr M xxx, Esq" -- and I'm not a lawyer. It is supposed to be a form of politeness when mentioning someone else's name.

I have not done a comparison, but RDP is mostly pixel based from what I understand, while x2go is "protocol" based (and therefore limited to xorg/x11), so it's a LOT quicker than say, VNC (even with compression) -- for e

I use x2go all the time, I have one single big workstation, and the laptops and the "thin" machine in my lab are tethered to it all the time, even when outside, via wireguard. I'm not surprised a raspi can do that, as I'

Clickspring is actually manufacturing porn. Nothing else, it's just overload! Everything is perfect, shinny, well lubricated. Just amazing. I'm glad he's back at making videos too, I had withdrawal! :-)

You don't risk "overexposing" (as the article says) anything with film/paper; basically you reach the "reciprocity failure" where the rule of exposure fails, and you can pretty much ignore the exposure time &#x

I know... but it's not the same as hearing the screams of despair as your arch-tank-enemy gets destroyed by your cleverly laid mine from across the office floor! :-)

I used to use linux's list.h quite a bit, that is the "good taste" implementation, where the head is the same as the elements. My only problem with that implementation is the fact it is non-typed. Heads are generic, and the c

After having been paid for a few months to do upstreaming, I know very well that nobody close to the linux kernels is doing any 'coding' anymore. it's seems to be more of an excercise into pleasing the priesthood to their, cu

I use that fact quite a bit when training my labrador; when in the woods, if she ranges too far, I'll just stop and stay completely motionless. She'll fail to see me at about 15-20 meters from me, especially if I'm against a

I think that it's a long article to just say that a 1) good 2) big screen, or two, or 3 is a good idea. The bigerrer, the beterrer. I wrote a lot of code on Mac classic format (512x342) using Monaco 9 -- it was great; next step was 640

I use 2 32" 4K monitors side by side; Before that I had 2 30" 1920x1200 (not 1080p!) side by side too; to me it's sufficiently "a wall" that I put them about 80cm from me, each angled a bit inward. Quite frankly any
