I'm going to assume your kid is on the other end of 2 from my daughter, even though I have no basis for that. The "terrible twos" are the year where a child changes from a baby into a person. You would think it happens slowl

The tools can be hit-or-miss, but where was dwm crashing? I've used it for over a decade with few issues. Your issues were probably with a patch or combination of patches. Out of curiosity, what features were you missing? The point

Tacit expressions like that are interesting and very rewarding to write, but I'd agree that it's way too terse. The Iversonian array languages tend to be like that, since they're derived from mathematical notation. (Though

Hi Marshall. I've enjoyed listening to you all on Array Cast. I've always been put off by the weird character sets, but I guess it's time to finally get over it. I've been meaning to try BQN, especially since it's

I'm glad to finally see a non-Iversonian array language. I've dabbled in J a bit, and it is pretty nice. For those who haven't used array languages, the easiest comparison would be NumPy. NumPy is like a small array DSL on

I'm a developer who works on that (type of) system for a living. If you receive an automated marketing email from a dealership, they are _legally obligated_ to provide an unsubscribe button. We use SendGrid for that purpose, but I&#x2

In this vein, there's a pretty good playlist on Spotify called "Microtonal Bangers". It includes, among other things, psychedelic rock (KGLW), a blend of traditional Mauritanian music with pop music (Noura Mint Seymali), pro

.NET Qt bindings are possible; the question is how much effort it would take. There are already GTK bindings for Mono through Gtk#. Those should be usable under .NET Core.

Microsoft loves Linux because it makes them money. I'm not sure why anyone would expect differently. They won't release products like Office for Linux (though a web interface is possible), and they won't move away from Windo

My wife is an RN in the ICU, and she has had patients on an Arctic Sun. That also cools the body to prevent brain damage, but it only brings the temperature down by a few degrees (around 91.4 F, or 33 C). Patients on an Arctic Sun usually

The Android Studio Emulator emulates a full x86 system running Android, from the kernel up. There isn't a way to only listen if an app needs it, because the emulator doesn't work at that level. What the emulator could do would be

Last I knew, Visual Studio Professional was about $500 for a single user. SQL Server can get expensive depending on what you're hosting, but IIS and ASP.NET don't cost anything. All you'd need is a Windows box for those.

Something like this could create a large market for CO2. If the market was hot enough, fossil fuel plants might capture and sell their own emissions.

I don't know of a guide, off-hand. I saw it done before in postmarketOS [0], which is what made me think of it. Note that pmOS does it to call an actual init system, but it could be done as an init in and of itself. 0: https:/&#

Another less normal option would simply be to make /sbin/init a shell script. Instead of trying to detect hardware, network, and all, you could just hardcode everything. If you're working with a standardized set of hardware,

Is there any support for OFX or QFX? Most banks I've dealt with support downloading transactions via QFX, which makes working with GNUCash pretty easy.

As far as backplanes go, you could go with FPC cables instead of wire-wrapping. That would fit the new components theme, but would require actual circuit boards for the backplanes.
