Moodle is by far not the only LMS. Other popular open source LMS are for instance ILIAS (also php) or OLAT (Java).

Wow, the user interface is very fluent. It has a lot of options, that's really powerful. Amazing how far you can come with a Google maps-like interface in 2020. As a German citizen, I enjoy that the basis data (only OSM?) is really goo

It can be cheaper to host own (desktop-grade) hardware instead of paying someone to host a stupid single website. The calculation is easy, especially if you only take into account electricity and not hardware purchase costs: Monthly costs p

Just for the records, there is actually quite a strong connection between DNS and good old telephony. I refer to directory services and LDAP in particular. I am not familiar with the popular Active directory from Microsoft, but I know that

Cudos to this code and the beautiful artwork (great README file for a github repository, btw). As somebody who worked a bit in visualization in scipy and blender, I can appreciate how much hard work have been put there. I did visualization

The tree looks nice. Similar to gitk, sourcetree or bitbucket. For whatever reason, github and gitlab cannot manage to get a similiar clean vertical git tree view.

This idea basically proposes to add one bit to the 32 bit addresses, i.e. use 33 bits. The notation is irrelevant, the money quote is > We need to have a mark, a flag, in the ip packet header You needed to end this bit also everywhere el

Oh god. I have met these people in real life on a job fair. I definitely would not want to work there. Furthermore, this is without doubt not Hamburg's first Unicorn.

Do it. If you can afford a short amount with no job. You are skilled, you will get a new job. And once you got rid of the old one, your mind is open for new inspiration. You won't regret it.

tl,dr: Not now, maybe in a few years/decades. A quantum computer is a special purpose computer. There are only a handful of algorithms known which really do better on quantum computers then on classical ones. Actually building a quantu

Sed is a command line utility for unixoid shells. It is comparable to awk. I say this because the awk binary is actually an interpreter for the similarly named programming language. So awk is in some way similar to the v8 JavaScript interpr

This sounds really fantastic. Can you explain a bit more about the hardware requirements? If I have a decent notebook with an Intel-integrated GPU, how can I both passthrought the GPU to the VM and use it for rendering the GUI on the host?

This is so true. I've done GPU heavy High performance rendering on remote VNC-like connections, something which requires lot's of preparation time -- and evventually you will be frustrated by working remotely.

Thinkpads are amazing. I also currently run a T420 from 2011, and it just works rock solid. Thanks to it's great connectivity, I use it right now with two monitors (under Linux) where my much newer 2019 Thinkpad X1 yoga is powered off

Unfortunately, it is not. I already tried various kernel modules to support (i.e. detect) the hardware. Apparently, there is a reason why Arch chose some specific compiler flags for the kernel. I don't really want to start building my

The %>% notation might not be very short, but there are other short ways of avoiding parenthesis mess as in foo = qux(bar(foo(x))). For instance, Mathematica/Wolfram language allows you to write something basically foo = qux

CSV with special seperation characters is nothing new. It won't generally solve the problem, because the choice of the seperation characters is always related to the data supposed to be hold by the table. Just think about a CCSV file h
