Tmux & Vim with a bunch of plugins. And most of the languages I use are in the OS's package manager. Setup is " apt-get/brew install ... " followed by " hg clone ... " for my plugins and settings. So, dire

Instead of a single performance at Christmas dinner, now your crazy uncle and mine can reach the whole town 24x7x365. For some reason or another, our betters see this as an imminent threat to "democracy" -- one which cannot go un

So, the people who can't get hole-punching and ballot layout right are going to "fix" things with two programming languages, three databases, and a dozen or so support libraries? Also, Florida 2000 is a strange example, consi

Why must everything involve the computer? It was on paper when I was a kid, didn't require an army of six-figure salaries, and things seemed to go far more smoothly.

They used mechanical voting machines when I was a kid, and I don't recall elections ever being this "buggy." Damn nerds.

Braille is simpler, and does not require thousands of lines of code, which could obscure all sorts of malicious payload. I have a bridge to sell to anyone who thinks Dominion has actually audited any of these external dependencies.

They run on MS Windows, and an assorted pile of shitware a mile deep. Bullshit passed through an HP LaserJet is still bullshit. And why on earth does a voting machine require OggVorbis? https://www.eac.gov/sites/defaul

There are many SVG rasterizers out there. This one is okay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Librsvg Could just be that I'm a cross-platform guy, but it seems like most programs bypass the OS rasterization stack (re

Nothing cryptic about the word of Jesus Christ. " Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. " If the words of Klaus & Co. aren't

I don't buy that these people would ever give the peasants a jubilee. It is strange territory for them, fraught with unforeseeable consequences -- can't really run the stats on something that hasn't happened in centuries. And

Either this guy's level of self-awareness is so low that it could strike oil, OR, he's written a shitpost that might just save Texas.

Starting off, SVG is an XML encoding, which is a rather hairy thing to deal with. Just to get a feel for LOCs: https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2 There's also the web's (horrible) tendency to make a diarrhea o

Probably not the best idea. SVG is loaded with CSS/DOM baggage that would lead to all sorts of pathologies further down the road. In a way, it has been done before, with a far saner approach: https://en.wikipedia.org/w

Why is an anti-hate " international not-for-profit NGO " taking on anti-vax? Who is funding them?

I believe that's how JWZ's XScreenSaver works, but every distro decided to re-invent the wheel there for whatever reason, then blame it all on X11 when it inevitably fails.

The artists, or the programmers? It's a toss-up as to who should repent first.

My memory may not be what it was, but I believe King Terry dictated 16 colors for the temple. 256 is 4-bits too many! You could do quality porn w/ 256, and that would be ungodly! Seems that this Bisqwit also has a touch of the divine

Intel never could design a CPU that was worth a damn. Their ace-in-the-hole was always device physics. When that stalled, they went from MVP to corporate zombie. I think this is another Marissa Mayer -- someone sent to harvest a little m

I think it does add something, but people here are too sold on certain narratives to approach opposing ones with an open mind. There is a fine line between donation and payment laundering. The latter happens more often than people would li

JWZ doesn't think much of it either, but you'll have to copy-paste this since he doesn't think much of HN either: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2017/03/signal-leaks-your-phone-num...
