I used to spend quite a bit of time on the #emacs Freenode IRC channel, but then discovered Discworld MUD, which is like #emacs on steroids: more NPCs (though less advanced ones), more puns (not a fan of those personally, but they create an

To add to the "please don't" comments, if one still wants to, there are terminfo and termcap to interact with terminals properly, in a portable way.

When browsing static/non-animated web pages, sometimes I get a feeling that the developers wanted to draw, had to make a website instead, and tried to combine those two, so users are then forced to appreciate their art. But with animat

Is it supposed to work in Firefox? I've allowed all the scripts to run in FF 78.7, but there's an empty screen after pressing "play". There's a lot of errors in the web browser console though, mostly CORS ones. And

Are you familiar with web directories (DMOZ [1] and others [2])? This looks like one, and perhaps others can be used to borrow ideas (hierarchical structure, for instrance) for future development. [1] https://www.dmoz-odp.org&#x2

I was under the impression that dynamic microphones are much more suitable for non-studio settings, where echoes and other noises happen, as well as for regular speech, not music (and that they are actually used on radio stations). And XLR

I ended up setting a web interface (converse.js) primarily for use with iOS. No push notifications with it, but also heard that iOS native clients tend to crash and lose messages, and apparently can't run in the background.

Non-technical people (friends and family) seem to be fairly comfortable using Conversations on their smartphones, and converse.js seems quite user-friendly in a web browser. But it indeed doesn't always work, and there are people with

I certainly had to tweak HTTP user agent headers in the past to get content out of some websites. IIRC Twitter (or possibly some other website(s)?), until recently, seemed to be somewhat usable without JS, but the content was covered and ma

I didn't consider embedded CPUs (I guess that's about an embedded EPYC, not a server one), those look neat. But there's no official ECC support (i.e., it's similar to Ryzen CPUs), is there? Edit: as detaro mentioned in t

I prefer to pick PSU and fans (for both CPU and chassis) that can handle it comfortably (preferably while staying silent and with some reserve) with maximum TDP in mind, and given that I don't need that many cores or high clock speed e

I've considered using an AMD CPU instead of Intel's Xeon on the primary desktop computer, but even low-end Ryzen Threadripper CPUs have TDP of 180W, which is a bit higher than I'd like. And though ECC is not disabled in Ryzen

AFAICT, hardware acceleration is enabled here (even tried to force-enable it in FF, on Linux), and the CPU load is still 55%.

The description sounded like it'd be an RDF schema, and then it even mentions semantic web, but judging by the specification, it doesn't involve those technologies, and rather about hyperlinks (i.e., regular WWW). Which is indeed

I like this idea, which pops up here and there occasionally, but this particular "criticality score" appears to measure popularity, rather than criticality. For one, it doesn't take into account whether there are common alter

Not sure if the questions are rhetorical, but in case if not, the history of allowing that is reflected in www-talk archives [0], and in articles such as [1]. Basically (and AIUI), some publishers wanted that, users didn't object too m

I was rather surprised that it wasn't discrete convolution in the article, after the hospital analogy. Perhaps even with finite summation first, and generalized afterwards; otherwise there's a bit of a leap.

That's odd: the test claims that my user agent is Go-http-client/1.1, and that there's gzip in HTTP_ACCEPT, after I've followed the redirect trail manually (with s_client(1)), only providing a GET request line and a host

Not sure what's ugly about it: it looks nicer and cleaner than most of the websites I see. I'm also not quite sure what's an "app platform", but this seems to be some sort of a web publishing service, and there&#x27

The conclusion (generally improved UX) sounds a bit dubious: bloat (including bloated graphics and splash screens, as mentioned there) seems to increase, not to decrease with time. Unfortunately the linked report doesn't explain how it

At least there's no captcha, no requirement to register, and it appears to work (I've reported the same issue). I'd prefer a working email address, but there are worse feedback forms around.

Indeed, that's what I meant: the colourisation seemed like a misfeature to me, while the newly added ability to disable colours resolved it. Probably didn't state it quite clearly above.
