   Yep. The IPS-Panels from ~ 2012 are an improvement over TN-Panels but should have never shipped. I was told that replacing it by a display from another OEM could fix it. PS: Most manufacturers have multiple OEMs for batteries, displays, WiF

   The key words are “reasonable” and “concentration risk”. Companies not run by shareholders but employees are often unremarkable but do well in long term. From time to time family owned companies choose that path.

   That is one of the many reasons why use ThinkPads. * Maintenance Manual with explosion diagrams and step-by-step guides * Short guide videos for important parts (terse and helpful, very good hidden on Lenovos Website) * OEM-

   I also miss a distinguished 0 (with a line through). With B612 the O and 0 (with a line through) could be mixed up.

   Isn’t that a gripe about the individual applications? Applications which are part of GNOME itself probably try to remain small and integrate well into GNOME e.g. Nautilus and Evolution. Applications which aren’t part of GNOME like Gimp or G

   Yep. GNOME makes often changes without long term strategy or asking their actual users. The removal of Type-Ahead-Find in Nautilus or background-transparency in GNOME-Terminal where mistakes. On the other hand new applications like Documen

   Apple? The people which removed the menu from the window and keep it separate to tease all users? Maximized windows and full-screen are itself a pain. I cannot use MacOS. Finder is especially bad. The partially weird idea of GNOME (Hamburge

   When an iPhone reaches high temperature it turns off navigation automatically. Actually newer iPhones automatically go into a low power “failsafe” mode even when not in active use. If that happens you’re only allowed to make emergency phone

   https://mesonbuild.com/Wrapdb-projects.html Meson did that. You can use system packages, define your own dependency, use sub-projects (custom build option a, you mentioned) or readily available from WrapDB.

    I suggest changing the build tool. Meson improved C and C++ a lot: https://mesonbuild.com/ The dependency declaration and auto-detection is nice. But the hidden extra is WrapDB, built-in package management (if wanted):

    Please don’t mount any phone on your bicycle or motorcycle. Here is why: * The screen is not transflective (e.g. Garmin Edge, Nintendo Gameboy -> more light is better) * The device isn’t made for heat or cold (Garmin allows -2

    I had one time indirect contact and confirm this. Polite, direct and helpful. Vim is reliable which is seldom. And Moolenaar did care about other people. See his help for Uganda.

    Im rather sure Robert Bosch and Infineon are aware of what chips they need. Obviously not the Zen 5, M3 or Meteor Lake. Germany needs CPUs for the industry. Cars, machines, planes, wind turbines and so on :) But you cannot build Person

    I wouldn’t label Google/Android as GNU/Linux. Neither MacOS as UNIX. Nor ChromeOS as GNU/Linux. Why? Linux is the shorthand for GNU/Linux. SteamOS is actually Archlinux which is a mere Linux. Archlinux can be considered

    You probably could do that for some parts but have to control the interaction. For big integrated parts is is probably easier to control them as howl? A mere split up will lead to “baby bells” and the bigger one will just buy others - and c

    Munich itself is weird case. There some smaller municipalities which have done better with Linux, lower-saxony and the police and the recent switch to Matrix of the Army. Regarding Munich: Three competing IT-Departments! Repeat, three. An

    That describes the basic feature set of C++ very well. People complain about C++ that it can do much more. Yea. But there is no need to use template meta-programming, multiple inheritance and other special features. Actually I think progr

    I’m sorry. You are right! I missed to quote the sentence before :( As pointed out by jpmoral, I consider debug symbols generally a good thing. Exceptions apply as usual e.g. embedded computing. Another approach is using stuff like debuginfo

    I don’t consider template-metaprogramming as official core language feature, is is an side-effect of templates. Generic-Programming itself with templates is great and the superpower of C++. Readability and maintainability are the key featu

    I also think it are developers familiar with Windows but didn’t want to start…with that. I did wonder how even companies like Amazon came up with that approach? For example their own MP3-Downloader back then. So someone else has written “cl
