I have a bought licence of subethaedit, from years and years ago. I still use it, but I never upgraded since I had to re-buy a licence to do so! Glad I waited. I still love the coloured changes for modified text in a document (that stay on

If you want to get the advantage of weights without the potential injuries, do very, very VERY slow reps with very small weights. That's what I do, i'm quite muscular, but I do work on my shoulders with 4kg weights, no more. But m

Oh well, here goes a few karma points ;-) Does anyone else dislike Heinlein? I mean, I read hundreds of SF books, followed dozens of authors, and I'm pretty sure Heinlein is the one I ended up giving up on and actively disliking. I t

If you look at that illustration, you see that it's not just one ethernet connector, it's one of these massive connector stack with one ethernet and 2 USB, also, it adds quite a bit of depth to the connector; it must have been ma

That story is a bit odd, still -- normally behind the connector there is optionally magnetics, and at least a PHY... being able to integrate the magnetics in the connector exists allright, but adding the phy /as well/ must make it

I used G+ a lot a few years back, and I did dozens of posts of logs of projects and so on... and then one day I wanted to refer to one of them to someone and discovered you can't search you own posts . That immediately stopped me post

I used Microtik routers for a few years, I felt nerdy and in control and all that. Until one day one of them bricked itself completely while updating itself. I replaced it with a off-the-shelf consumer one and realised immediately that it w

You nail it, I think. Being nice to contributors leads to bullying. Contributors assume, then feel entitled, and it gets harder and harder to say 'no' -- and it's probably very taxing. Linus shoots first, that keeps the bul

Instead, today, we got 3 times more flights, with lumbering planes that refuse to climb to their altitude to save fuel (and get the pilot a bonus) and instead of having ONE concorde a day and having to deal with it, there's a plane eve

I'm not an expert, but I do competitive shotgun shooting -- one thing that I find is essential is to... not blink, and have your eyes open. Sounds funny, but it's part of my 'routine' as I wait for the clay disk to appea

Hi -- yeah there is no support code for windows; I don't use a windows desktop so I never had a need for it -- however the 'skeleton' is in thre, perhaps you could do it by backporting a few bits and pieces of the old synergy

Ah, that must be ubugtu derivative with -Werror by default I suppose? That's your problem, it's a pedantic warning ar best, not an error.

My use is at home, on my own local switch, on the same desk. If anyone can sniff that, I already have serious other problems.

Ah, that's exactly the problem I had with synergy really. Randomly failing -- not terribly nice when one uses it for work. Mine takes peanuts for resources, and I have uptimes of weeks or more on my machines. My current setup is a &#x2

I wrote my own replacement for synergy years ago. It's called touchstream[0] -- it's unlikely to be as full features as, but it's TONS lighter, and I've been using between my mac workstation and my linux workstation for

You clearly have never looked at a floppy before making "that won't work" comments, but floppies have a sync hole that is aligned. And having made multiple copies like that, I know very well it worked pretty well as a metho

Well, you won't be happy in your job. Personally I don't feel spending your life in a job that isn't really "for" you is a nice way to spend most of the hours of day for most of your life... Also, you'll be the

Oh, I really like your reply, thanks for that. I remember clearly one day when I was about 10 yo, I was walking to school, and there was that question poping in my head about what I really wanted to do, and there was only one reply in my

Oh nothing stops you from having toy stuff around! I have a lot of stuff like that, but you don't spend 6 months on it, you spend an afternoon here and there on it.. Sometime it's worth 'gambling' too -- for example in 2

It changes the maximum speed attainable by that CPU, and allows to maintain it for longer. You can change pretty easily the maximum clock multiplier the CPU is allowed to use (on K CPUs at least) -- but doing so without proper cooling and p

While I agree that in principle you can learn to code at any age, I think this article misses the entire point of every "learn to code" article. Whether it's kids, women, oldies etc etc. Coding is a calling. You can learn

Yes and that was VERY easily defeated too -- you just had to take the floppy, very carefully align the synchronization hole with your copy, and take a pinhead and make your own little scratch in the same place. It was a bit silly to be hone

I made that 'reverse path' to C quite a while back, more than 10 years ago in fact. for 20 years before that, I was C++, C++, and C++. Then I gradually realised I was trying to slim down my use of the language, due to stuff I just

I don't see your point. There's tons of stuff in C11 for example that is not applicable to a vast majority of where C is used. Even in C99 basic stuff as 'floating point' or 'malloc' is not available on many ha
