I found a "hack" for diagrams that need to work with both white and black backgrounds was to make all your lines gray. And then when you want vary the intensity of the line you adjust the opacity It cuts your effective dynamic ran

You typically pay a premium for Beagleboards for the IO features (though at a glance this particular board doesn't look particularly interesting) If you want an open RPi equivalent, I'd look more at LibreComputer boards. Cheap and

Out of curiosity, wouldn't it be easier/cheaper/faster to use some existing off-the-shelf design and drill/machine some holes if you need it slightly modified? It seems everyone reinvents the plastic-rectangle-with-groov

I use pipelining everywhere. Going from piping through map/reduce/filter/etc back to inside out Lisp style calls felt like a huge ergonomic step back. Maybe it's a matter of familiarity but it's hard for me to visua

joinr pointed out this lib to me and it seems to make using them more ergonomic (if you're into pipelining) https://github.com/johnmn3/injest However writing your own indeed doesn't sound fun :))

I don't do TDD - so this is my outsider's understanding The issue is that if you need to mock then your design is not really properly decoupled. The mock bakes in assumptions about your program state - which may or may not hold up

yeah Xah Lee's ergoemacs. You should give it a try. I don't think we disagree. cua-mode is better than nothing.. but just enabling CUA feels kinda lazy bc it's easily improved from Xah Lee himself: http://xahlee.in

It seems like a list of nice, but most are kinda opinionated non-essential tweaks (cua-mode) Well this will have the greybeards frothing at the mouth :) that said, `cua-mode` is kinda terrible/half-assed b/c it implements

Early emulators had to emulate the super funky hardware that early consoles had. Now a days consoles are pretty similar to consumer computers (I though the switch was basically a Nvidia Jetson) Is the emulation now more like Wine - about pr

I'm no expert but the JVM is very modular these days and just the minimal modules also give you an order or two smaller runtimes. My guess is a set of minimal OpenJDK modules will be on the same order as a WASM VM. Would be curious to

I liked that your could turn off the brightness entirely :( (Though in Kubuntu it doesn't) Not clear how you can even do that now. You can "sleep" the display but it'll turn back on when you hit any key

Since there may be people in the know ... Is ffmpeg an appropriate tool to make gifs? Or are there more appropriate tools? (to designate static regions in a scene for instance )

thank you ! I'll see how it goes. Hope it won't be too wonky. Ex: In Magit when committing it now first shows a "changes" buffer that you have to kill and then you can get to the buffer where you write the commit message

How do I go about doing this ? Seems potentially workable. Youd just jump back to the last buffer a lot of time, but that's quick and intuitivr.

Out of idle curiosity I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe run a demo on the REPL in Clojure. I try to Google "Java WebGPU" and I get no real results I could be wrong but It seems it's technically possible to use it outsid

isn't the simpler explanation that they would in effect lose the ability to relicense the project and therefore lose control of their baby? To not lose control you need to have people assign copyright which is generally a headache. I&#

This is sort of true, but it doesn't scale well. You quickly end up having a very verbose `ns` declaration at the top of every file as you try to extend your Clojure To cut down on the noise, you can coalesce all your extensions into o

As far as I understand that's not a very meaningful question b/c it depends on what CPU and what GPU. So it's a bit apples to oranges and depends on the user's configuration. There is a benchmark at the very bottom: htt
