since you seem knowledgeable.. I noticed when apps are installed on Chinese androids they generally magically work just fine. I remember reading that at install time the app detects if it's on a western or Chinese phone and it reconfig

They also managed to find the only ARM CPUs in existence that don't have NEON instructions... very fun to debug..

If you made a 0.8mm board you don't even need a usb-c connector as the board fits into the cable. Supposedly this works great (havent tried myself though) https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true

If you want to make a static build with an ancient glib (so it runs everywhere) but you want to use a recent compiler then CentOS is the straightforward option. It provides modern toolchains over an ancient base system I think this is how y

From the wiki page it seems like there was actually a very strong anti-war sentiment in the West at the time (this was not covered in my history classes!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Opium_War#Reaction_in_Br...

I get the principle of how it works - though it seems imperfect bc it would vary depending on the weight/load. But why favor such a mechanism to just independent wheels? Or are you saying the whole setup actually tilts the carriage int

I'm imagining two half length axels. I guess this creates some torque but the breaks and bearing would be identical
548.
by geokon 4y ago
is there a reason why they don't have the wheels spin separately? Does it make it more complicated? Or there is a disadvantage?

My guess is this this is a resolution issue. When the resolution was low, moving to 16:9 or 16:10 allowed you to have two side-by-side windows open. Now that the pixel density is higher you can make it 3:2, have two windows side by side eve

Especially if you purchase on Taobao/VMall - then it's under $1K. I think they also sell a version in Germany, but the price is marked up a lot

* no USB-A ports I'm not sure what you mean. It's got two on the right side. And two USB-C on the left (though one will typically be used by your charger) - which seems to be unusual still.. 16GB hasn't been an issue so far -

“and on top of it internet” is internet a permission? I've never seen that in any menu or prompt. I don't think Android has this. Which is a shame bc i mostly use offline apps and would love to know if an app is all offline Unders

Icons appeared on reboot :)

by geokon 4y ago
Oh cool, it's got a PPA and it nicely moves all the .appimage files to one application directory. Seems to work very well. Thank you! The icons don't show up immediately in the KDE menus, but maybe that'll get reindexed after

by geokon 4y ago
And idea how to get Dolphin to "register" the AppImage as an application? (so it shows up in menus). Manually making AppImage .desktop files is always a bit clunk and you don't get the proper icons. I know there is some thrid

Genuine question. How is sleep tracker information actionable? I never quite understood what you're supposed to do with all the information about when you fall asleep, when you awake, when you have REM. Okay you can quantify how bad yo

Interesting/clever flexible board design that eliminates the need for one cable. Never seen that before. You can see it a bit more clearly on the sister product page: https://ploopy.co/mini-trackball/

Oh very clever! Less of a mess than tape. Thanks for the idea :)

Do you have any advice on how to deal with paper warping? The paper getting sobby and uneven often quickly brings a painting session to an end :) And yet in tutorial videos I often see people paint a whole background section in one go (even

Oh very cool. I'm really glad these things exist. I skimmed the intro video and it does looks like a separate tool though. Would be extra slick if these things got highlighted as you coded. But I get that usually you only really bring

Thanks for the explanation. So I'm gathering that the distinction is inlined native code will be explicit while an intrinsic is up to the compiler. The intrinsic provides a fallback if you run on a dumb/old JVM. That does seem muc

Great article. Very comprehensive and well written, while not skipping the gotchas the author hit along the way I don't really much about how the JVM works, but it's interesting that this is (if I understood correctly) in effect c

What are the advantages compared to something like Lua, that's more designed to call out to C code?

I mean a super basic example everyone has come across - in the past 5 years the block syntax at some point changed randomly from all-caps to lower-case (no idea why..). You're saying organice just sticks to the legacy syntax? I guess h

I'm skeptical this will work nicely with different Emacs/Orgmode versions - unless it's a super basic subset. In my experience org files break very easily between releases of Emacs/Orgmode. I've spent a lot of time

So maybe a more basic and fundamental question - but why can't OS threads be as good as these virtual threads? Why do we have to have two layers of thread abstraction? My first reaction is "eww" quickly followed by "I&#x
