Also it really needs capitalization of the first word. CAN is an acronym. Otherwise the title is quite funny.

I am writing this from a Chromebook with an 8th gen Core i3 CPU. I bought it used for around $50. It has a rather good Linux container which can run even graphical applications. This is not really that limited anymore other than using Chrom

I would like to explore it's IPC. I heard a lot of good about it. For example that it is has quite a nice API and is efficient. Maybe I will tell it all wrong, but I remember that for example it could be easy to do RPC on the same mach

Most of those are some old long deprecated things and in general those are all straight up improvements. Python is not my main thing so I'm not really good to answer this, but I listed a few that I am sure triggered errors in some code

Would breathing on it (wide open mouth air blow, I'm not a native speaker) work as well but be contactless way of achieving it?

A human can't be trusted to not make memory safety bugs. At the same time we can trust AI with logic bugs.

Would it be true to say that technological and educational progress makes art increasingly complex as it is easier to use a specific art medium having means to do so? I did not think of AI generation starting my comment but here I am with m

Oh, indeed! But if they are not otherwise checked it would be quite useless.

That is beyond silly. Unless students go naked they can have a weapon in a pocket.

In higher level languages your code may allocate memory or trigger a GC pass or other smartness in unexpected places. This may cause slowdowns you may not have control over or may change from version to version or vendor to vendor. It is of

I am only getting to the space, but if I understand correctly the overview it is a tile server speaking HTTP, but it is not working like Protomaps, which do not need a separate tile server, just a regular HTTP server with range requests sup

I watched it two or three times before I understood I was watching a 30 second loop, only because I was getting impatient and showed all controls in the browser. Amazing feat of repeatability, but also nerve control. One mistake and you are

Is there a way to statically compile an application with SQLite and the result WASM was smaller. So for example I have an app that would use only a specific subset of SQLite. Could the SQLite's WASM be built with this in mind cutting d

As Steve Ballmer said many times repeatedly: developers, developers, developers. The platform that captures developers in the long term is on the top.

Thank goodness there was 2to3 tool in the past. It made the migration to Python 3 so smooth and quick. /partial-s I know it is not nearly on the same level, but people seriously overestimate the effort needed between not doing anything

I hear you and sort of agree with your general point. Though I think I would love to see the exact same Google Play, but with filtering for apps with ads and IAP. Basically so I could filter for freeware, open source and paid apps.

Hmm, it is interesting as I was thinking about a data language that would use designated initializer syntax from C. I guess this is similar to it, but from Zig side, which makes it maybe more sane.

A desktop environment in X11 is leaning on the X server. One on Wayland has to have libs for most of the things. There is no window manager. A compositor is like a server and a window manager in one. There are libs, but the process is much

I mained dwm some years ago and I like it, but if I just need a quick environment I usually go back to Xfce. My family's computers (my dad's, my mom's, my sister's and my media PC, because I was lazy) are all Xfce. I wil

I know about CUPS. There is no real alternative on Linux, is there? But it doesn't work like on macOS. I am sure they added some of magic on top. On macOS I think it either recognized my printer or I had to select it from a list. I don

It never offered the option in my case.

With macOS there is this one off topic thing regarding printing that always gets me. I once had a company Macbook and it connected to my old Brother printer without problems and only then (after almost ten years of having the printer) I dis

For some time now I had a similar tab hoarding problem. My stop-gap solution is crammming a locally hosted markdown text editor in a new tab page. This way my bookmarks live as a Markdown file on my computer and I can easily add or remove l

The friction in C and C++ library ecosystem is sometimes a feature for this sole reason. Many libraries try to pull as little as possible and other things as optional.
