Well, the overly wide width can easily be mitigated by resizing your viewport; this is truly responsive web. Your font (size) preference is also easily applied, and nothing breaks when you scale the information to your preference. Both are

I haven't found a way to do that. The only O(n) to-json-array way is using the initializer list constructor AFAICT.

Plusses: as a user of nlohmann-json, I also like the support for json pointer, json patch and json merge patch which comes in handy at times. I like their way of handling to/from_json (declare functions with appropriate signature and n

Nah. SMP support predates NetBSD 5.0 by a decade or so. May sound like nitpicking but .. roundabout 11, 12 years ago was when the default kernel config switched to SMP on all architectures where it made sense. Before users had to enable it

I, too, loved the old logo. Not being of a nationality that has been involved in the pacific war though had kept the iwo jima reference hidden to me. They didn't "suddenly" change the logo. As usual for NetBSD, everything was

You can use systemd-escape(1) to have it generate the correct unit name for you, e.g.: systemctl status $(systemd-escape --path /home --suffix mount) Yeah, complicated and verbose, but reliable and integrates into systemd mindset very

I hate the fact that they collect so much data. It's just the next company saying "nah, we're not evil! Don't worry that the browser we make sends home five hundred columns of data about your box and your usage patterns!

my reticule aims at the creation of the formal C semantics being used to verify the output. If both you and I make an off-by-one, we can always agree on the (say, index) value, but we'll both be always wrong. And C semantics is somethi

We still use UML for illustrative documentation purposes leading the prose, sequence diagrams, state machines, activities. We barely ever use class diagrams. We don't draw, we let PlantUML do that. We only use UML because, well, PlantU

Haha! I understand the sentiment :) But it was ok, NetBSD doesn't have zsh installed by default (and neither bash, only csh, sh and (pd? m?)ksh). When I did that, I was primed to use tcsh at $WORK. Switched to ksh later (and remained o

Yeah, Law Enforcement won't request to protect users' privacy, but users may very well reply to the heads-up requesting a "broad" protection of their own privacy...

I concur with your technical argument, except for the trust of what's being built. I have repeatedly found the shared state cache to be the achilles heel of my builds. You never want to have a false-positive hit in your cache, yet yoct

Setting LC_* to 'C' nukes locale awareness by saying "we're only caring about ASCII-en-us" and thus goes back to the 'cheap' tolower that's also present in the C and C++ version, and most likely in th

The idea of the agile manifesto is great. The implementation sucks. As-is-done the value proposition of the management style is in the negative. This negative value, aka cost, is then used to support extra roles nobody needs - scrum masters
