Arabizi has utilitarian value but if you're learning languages with more than just pratical considerations, I really recommend learning the original Arabic alphabet. I might be a bit of a romantic here but I think it's amongst the

I didn't claim you said "most people" either. Furthermore, in my prior comment, I acknowledge that you are expressing a personal preference/opinion and that I respect that.

I always find atleast one person making this or similar comment in threads on non native GUI libraries. I also respect the fact that this is just a statement of a personal preference. However I don't think most people care. Good applic

After spending most of a decade in i3wm, I decided to give Gnome a try again. The most debilitating issue that I kept running into over and over again was extension memory leak. After a restart and within a week, gnome shell process would e

Firstly, for the record, as far as political beliefs go, mine are quite aligned with the protesting employee here. Having said that, Google is entirely right here. The speaker was not some right wing political wingnut from Israel. He was ju

I moved from Gnome to KDE recently. There is likely no desktop environment that's more customisable while at the same time being full batteries included as KDE is. And I've probably tried them sll: Gnome, XFCE, Enlightenment, Cinn

Strong disagree. I have indeed tried Markor and used it for quite a while. Atleast several months if not a year. It doesn't hold a candle to Obsidian. Just two things off the top of my head among plenty of others: 1. No live edit mode

Sure, I suppose that's one way to look at it. From my perspective though, I like that my notes are simple plain text files in a single folder whose backup and sync is entirely under my control. This often lets me run grep on my notes t

What's not clear to me from the post is, is the author talking about just the rust-lang projects? Isn't this a characteristic of active contributors of many (or I daresay, most) large open source projects? I am not an active contr

Hi, it would be great if your website showed what it was about before asking for camera permissions. As it exists now, it's a bit off-putting to see a request for camera without any info on why you need it.

As an old vim graybeard, more power to you. I'd recommend checking out `vim -y` as well. (And once you try _that_, you'll likely have a question, the answer to which is Ctrl-l.) To others on this thread decrying this as heresy: le

I'm not so sure that this claim is valid as a general observation. Multiple times in my career, I have seen scientific code written by academics dramatically sped up by developers who used parallelisation, vectorisation using SIMD etc.

The way around this is to have a layered approach in the backend. A business logic layer which generates some data, presumably structured in whatever way is canonical for the language you use. Then add a layer on top of that that 'rend
