One thing I've noticed is that I can hear human inhale before they continue speaking. Got curious if tts of the future should have this feature too.

I developed a terminal emulator, file manager and text editor Deodar 8 years ago in JavaScript/V8 with native C++ calls, it worked but I was extremely disappointed by speed, it felt so slow like you need to do a passport control each t

The new lead is not talking this language instead they talk about tremendous excitement, massive scale, global opportunities, rapid expansion, next phase of growth and strategic priorities.

Yes I meant the deleted and downvoted answer, it was obviously written by the person who have closed the topic. Sorry for the mistake.

I have enough rep on SO to see the close comment, but many people probably are not able to see this. Not sure what to do about it, copying it here may be not OK and discussing something that seems hidden is awkward. I basically was just off

I just realized SO was sold to some random investment fund in June and the corporate speak is now on Meta and Blog. I used to love theirs startup culture. I wish it was sold to a tech giant instead. Tech giants may have their problems but a

Did you try connecting it to other computer? This sounds like an OS problem to me.

My story is that I was like that for exactly 20 years then I switched to a laptop, it took me a while to get used to it's keyboard, but fast forward another 8 years I decided to build a PC instead of laptop and bought an office keyboar

Great pick, looks very much to my liking, I love the colors that are kept close to original IBM keyboards. And your description is convincing. No surprise I never came across it, they sell it in the scanner store. For 230-250 it must be ver

Never came across Cougar, they have some cool looking scissor /membrane keyboards, but neither is TKL, sad. I can understand why you buy three items at once if you like it!

I have entirely flat one and still occasionally hit wrong keys, ie CAPS when I aim at A, never occurred to me the flatness could be the reason. Though it's not happening as often after almost a year of use.

We must have a similar taste because Havit(tkl) was also my second contender, I choose K1 because it was something like 1 mm thinner I recall. Was considering smaller layouts as well, but when I tried "homeless" keyboards it felt

Skimmed through the video, it even has a coffee break! But didn't find the foam part, pretty curious about that part.

Model M! Fascinating, are they so durable to last 30 years or you need to fix a key or two once in a while?

Do you really use the numeric keypad? I have an impression, probably wrong one, that they are only used by accountants and take too much space on the table.

I understand why people love mechanical keyboards, and my main keyboard is amazing mechanical Keychron K1, but I would rather prefer high quality membrane keyboards similar to those found in laptops, thin, light, silent. And I wish there wa

As someone who is thinking to release some dev tool I came up with a fresh (silly?) idea I want your opinion on: make a dev tool free for individual devs, i.e. MIT or similar permissive license, but oblige non-tiny companies i.e. 10+ total

Heh, really curios, any examples of "bad" use of that builtin?

Thanks, very interesting. Unfortunately my main compiler is TinyC so I am limited to those extensions that it supports, although TinyC's community is open to ideas and may be they can add missing bits eventually.

C++ of course can have better results because of constructors and templates, my code is for C and I honestly was sure, and for many years until yesterday, that this kind of sugar is basically impossible to achieve in C.

Thanks for testing! As for your terminal blue background it looks gorgeous, maybe you just need to tweak the palette a little bit to make sure at least 16 basic colors are contrast enough. Btw what is the meaning of :28 in your prompt? Is t

Hello, thank you for sharing, do you have a github repository for this?

Did not check the speed. I want to use it during debugging/developing so speed was not something I was thinking about. It is not a very elegant solution thanks to limitations of preprocessor __VAR_ARGS__. Basically there is a compiler

I was reading GCC builtins documentation and suddenly realized I can make a generic print function at which you can throw variables of arbitrary types and sizes, even arrays! It is super cool, almost like console.log() in JavaScript or prin
