I wonder if these people are aware of Gvim and Macvim. They offer features such as listed in https://vi.stackexchange.com/a/2458 The screenshots of GNvim look as if it doesn't use the code base of Gvim.

Amazing. I also plan to build that. I wonder if telephone providers have some sort of recognition to detect people using (abusing?) a free call plan for transfering data. Certainly, if your "call" takes several days, that may viol

Interesting, I never heard of practical advantages of IPv6 for the end user, such as dramatically better ping times. Given the simplified routing, I can imagine this to be true. Are there applications where this pays off, such as reduced de

I would go with a VPS. It's cheap and by definition the most flexible solution, only limited by your capabilities of configuring e.g. a Linux machine.

Isn't it explicitly discouraged to rely on dict() being ordered? IIRC the Python standard (if it exists) has collections.OrderedDict() in mind to fulfill ordering. I think when CPython introduced ordering, they warned about that. [No r

In Programming, DRY sometimes requires meta-programming or introspection. This is something which people sometimes don't want to do by intention (for instance because there was some common decision in a group not to use a preprocessor

I'm just using KDE (Plasma) on ordinary Ubuntu, having the kubuntu-desktop package installed for getting KDE-related system tools. It really works great out of the box. Every hardware feature is covered, even plugging in the notebook i

Oh yes, too all of them! Correctly done multi-line lambdas/expressions could bring Python's expressivitiy to where ECMAScript is nowadays, where you can write both foo = function(...) or function foo(). Perl 6 has a great switch

For my feeling, per-passanger screens are relatively new. My first flight with such a plane was maybe 10yrs ago. If the screen space would become free for mounting own tablets, this would benefit most passengers. By the way, the usual scree

Actually, I did the same (without having a MacBook on advance). The X1 can easily have a similar price tag (I paid 2400€ for 1TB,16GB,i7,X1 yoga). And the hardware is of similar quality.

Wow, clicking this link I just realized my Firefox/Linux installation still has the Flash player plugin. So I could view this gem of 90s Flash-only website. It shows all the problem the web had back then: It took me four clicks to see

It really depends on the use case. All use cases I actually know storing n-dimensional arrays, and this is something where HDF5 provides quite a neat interface which is identical to the in-memory representation in C/Fortran or numpy, e

I think HDF5 really makes a good choice of usability/performance/practicability for typical user groups at laboratories or (small?) institutes. There are flaws and drawbacks which one will evventually notice. For instance, I devel

This (HN news/Github project) title is awkward. Apparently, it's all about a new Operating System. However, I don't read much about kernels or shells but instead about assembler and particular features (?) such as "Track

This topic is difficult to address in general and world wide. What I can say is: My wife and I graduated in Germany, we both had a net salary/scholarship beyond 1200€/m, so we could easily afford anything baby-related. This would

Are you aware that text based formats are dominating in unixoide operating systems (such as Linux) for configuration? Especially, the ecosystem of an average GNU Linux distribution is famous for having a vast number of different languages,

It's obviously not magic. In practice, I find this feature difficult to use due to the distribution of ssh keys necessary to be practical. Actually, scp got quite old. Rsync typically makes a better job, especially with many files or u
