IMO a "standard" that isn't publicly available free of charge (like the laws) should have no legal standing (i.e. national bodies and laws should never defer to such standards or demand compliance). Otherwise it's just

It is, but they actually have a shortcut for that (--disable, --enable).

I was actually ranting about this on IRC last night (yeah now my laptop has two enp* interfaces and enx[MAC]).. One thing I like about OpenBSD is that buses are scanned and drivers probe in order and there's no race between drivers com

The less frequently I need something, the more frustrating it is if it's not short and memorable (or easy to look up in the synopsis or built-in help). Forgetting and googling a needlessly complicated command over and over again every

I just tried fish. xinput --set-[TAB] and nothing. Apparently it doesn't understand the standard long-option format that is supported by xinput and documented in the man page. You have to know to omit the dashes and then it'll

That may be a part of the problem but honestly I don't feel like all these new crazy interfaces are easy to learn either. I mean how do you come up with the lithany xinput calls for? You need to understand the syntax for specifying a

Yeah well, given that mouse acceleration tends to be on by default, I need to turn it off every time I'm on a fresh install or computer I haven't used before. The last time I needed that was yesterday. I don't want to waste

Sure. One could also make "move-down-one-line" be the incantation to move the cursor down a line in vi, but I prefer j. Ergonomics isn't all about making everything self-descriptive for someone seeing the thing for the first

You state that as if that were objective.. but that's not my subjective experience at all. Somehow I have a hard time remembering these long names, (is it --conf or --config or --config-file or --config-path? -c would've done it

by foxfluff 5y ago
I'm hardly afraid but I just think it's poor ergonomics. Same as the move from xset m 0 0 to xinput --set-prop 'pointer:Logitech USB Receiver' 'libinput Accel Profile Enabled' 0, 1 Everything

Yeah I never said I want VR. I want head mounted displays to free me from bulky & expensive monitors that require lots of desk space and aren't available when travelling with a laptop. And if you can see around the HMD and reach

Yea, I actually consider the smaller FOV a feature. Doesn't necessarily have to be 45 degrees, but I'm not interested in covering my entire field of view. I want a monitor for work, not for games and movies. Immersion doesn&#x2

Five years ago, the avegant glyph seemed reasonably small for an HMD (well, if you could get it without the earphones). I feel like we've regressed from that point.

On the contrary, I see gmaps having map and satellite data that has been and still is out of date for years now. OSM has much more detailed data and is up to date here. So I really don't see what's so impressive about gmaps. The

The other thing is, how well researched do you want to be? When I'm learning something new, I usually want to gain a deep understanding and really get to the ins and outs of it. So when figuring out (for example) how to do X in langua

Yea, part of it is that for some reason various sources picked up the news about the Pi and it spread very very fast to (relatively) mainstream media. I never witnessed that kind of phenomenon with the other boards (not even arduino.. I ha

Anecdotally, Beagle had zero marketing compared to the Pi. Only hardcore geeks had heard of it, whereas when the Pi came out, "normies" wowed at this "cheap credit card sized computer!" that they saw on the news. In sc

Maybe they can start selling a hands-free add-on kit for the car's controls..

That sounds like poor implementation rather than something inherent.

by foxfluff 5y ago
If it's all syscalls (i.e. no libraries messing with hidden state) and you don't mess with parent's memory, you might be able to do this all with clone(CLONE_VM|CLONE_VFORK) instead of fork(). This is what musl uses to imple

Yea, we don't know the circumstances of the question. Were they asked to implement string splitting from scratch to demonstrate their ability to do so, or was it just something they needed to use as a part of something else? Did they

It might just tell you that the person being tested hasn't spent a lot of time with C# recently. Which says little about their competency in general.

Multi-purpose boards ranging from ~Nano-ITX to Flex-ATX in size. Typical features include dual power inputs, a bunch of ethernet ports, rs232 & rs485 ports, isolated gpios, analog inputs, wireless modem (3g/lte/5g), and more

Well our boards do support the full swing. Except for the latest prototype which I got a few weeks ago, that one talks 3V3 TTL levels.

It's the first thing that works, JTAG or other proprietary debug ports aside. It's the thing that you start with in order to get everything else to work, and it's the thing that works when everything else fails. That&#x27

I think this one is also pretty bad. And years later still not fixed. https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2527 In short? When you look at a room, your client sends a (public) read receipt. So
