Qt and GTK do, there is the freedesktop menu standard https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/menu-spec/ Despite these standards we still don't have this feature widespread. It's a pity.

What does "in this room: 25" mean? The number remains the same when I change the station. Is there only a single room and I changed the station for everybody? Or are there 25 people in every room (=station)? :-)

You know what, I heard of Gaia-X since over a year. I've read many landing pages. I don't get it. I live in Germany, have a PhD degree in computer and natural science, I regularly write funding applications and reports for public

Of course it's straightforward, install a few packages and you're done. I just was complaining about the poor adoption of MIDI. A standard linux distribution ships with a web browser, an image viewer, a music player, a PDF reader,

There is for instance http://afiestas.org/appmenu-runner-meet-the-kde-hud/ , and I bet there are similar tools for Gnome. However, from what I heard of Unity, it seems to be a hell of a work to keep/maintain it ru

It's really a pity that in 2021 I still have no out of the box program for playing MIDIs. With a vanilla Windows 95 installation, more then 20 years ago, I could just play a damned MIDI. Sure, the sound quality was shitty, but at least

I love the music video for the library: https://cms.replit.com/assets/kaboom/kaboom.mp4 -- can you tell me any code library which has a music video about it? That's a great way of introduction.

The mathematical analogy has its limits, thought. In analysis, integration (constructive) is analytically much harder then differentiation (destructive).

For a service like this one, it is essential not to automatically redirect to https, because many simple and/or command line clients do not automatically follow (resolve) a HTTP redirect answer. This service also works perfectly fine

Interesting -- what part of this infrastructure would you like to change? The wizards would probably want to get rid of YAML, probably even of Kubernetes and just run their scripts on bare metal. The DevOps would probably want to get rid of

Ahh, the (apparently?) lost art of command line voodoo. This was type of "write once, read never again" culture. Perl was a similar guy in this family, and if you really got good at it, you could of course read again these gems an

Interesting site. I can't follow the reasoning. How do you think posts are prevented from reaching the front page? Do you claim they did reach front page but were then ... magically deleted? Or got more downvotes? Or where just

I remember when I first saw Ghost 1.0, it was a moment as when I first touched Google Mail. The UI was so slim and the web editor miles ahead of WordPress or any other concurrency. What's the situation nowadays? I haven't followed

The same is true in many other data science branches (such as physics). Perl was the perfect glue language in the 90s but then got more and more replaced by python. I think one reason for that is Numpy/Pylab, which makes python a perfe

Amazing! These times with Mac OS X 10.0 and Windows NT/2000 have been so exciting. It is kind of a shame that we don't have similar thrilling advantages in OS development nowadays. The Mac ecosystem got a walled garden and the spi

Jep, I've also noticed many shortcomings from the gitlab service desk feature. For us the problem was that when replying users by email, they could not open attached files without an account on our installation. Redmine has these featu

I like Gitlab's OSS philosophy and documentation (including these lengthy release notes) a lot. If there's one feature I really miss in Gitlab than the limited issue trackers. Despite Jira is still the "go-to" solution i

I absolutely second this. "IoT" is a keyword to furnish up cheap hardware where the price of physical switches would have harmed the profit margin too much. This is not really ironic: Physical switches (with a price of probably 0,

I guess "it works" frqeuently means "if it doesn't work (any more), I can simply google the error", which again translates to "there is a huge community".

Cool! How does it compare to GCC, Intels CC or LLVM? Are there any studies yet?

I also enjoy this special time in the night. It's just 11pm in central europe. But I also know my child goes up tomorrow morning at 7am the latest, and if I keep working until 3 or 4am (which I regularly do), I will have a very bad nex

Well, according to your logic the crappy website owner could also sell her domain to the brand new startup. For a price where the revenue supports the crappy website owner, not some absurd buisness. The current domain trading situation is a

That's the same approach I am using in all my scripts. You can even combine that with `set -e` and run some commandThatMayFail || true in order to continue the script if some optional step fails. Bonus note: The notation &quot

If you want to preserve digital content for long time, you also probably better stick to boring standards such as plain text files or some static HTML instead of something fancy.
