So true! I loved Unity in the late 2010s. Unfortunately, now where it is no more maintained and GNOME3 does not really provide the same features, I switched to KDE. What I miss most is the space efficiency and the global menu bar / sea

I bought such machines in an academic high performance computing center a few years ago, with similar budget. Here are a few thoughts: - You definetly want to do rack mount. It is more extensible and future proof. - You will get a server gr

Interestingly, the article completely neglects field programmable analog arrays (FPAA), a technology which is combines the best of FPGAs and ASICs.

I love the concept and would like to see some real world programs to be implemented in that language :)

I use DigiKam as a Google/Apple Photos alternative. It works great with showing even most recent photos of my smartphone, scanning/observing a local folder synced by Nextcloud. I regularly use the GPS/map to search photos by

It is a quine if we neglect the comments. Interestingly, two of the comments are descriptive (answering "What"). The one asking whether this is a quine is in fact a type of communication widespread in code, when authors use commen

I can only tell here from Germany: Computer Science at universities don't teach you how to code. They teach you theoretical concepts. Depending on the curriculum, your milage will greatly vary. For instance, database design was not a c

Video file formats is probably one division of "practical computing" where the last 30 years really made a big difference. MP3 was invented in 1991 and revolutionized the music industry. In my impression, DivX had a somewhat compa

Isn't this exactly why first/buisness class is made for? What is your experience with buisness class in TGV? In ICE trains, it makes a difference (i.e. more silence).

I think it's very important to have a "speaking" URL. That is: I do not recommend to store a serialized, non-human-readable state in the URL. This could lead to the impression that the link can safely be shared because it is

I had a similar situation with Physics PhD a few years ago. Now things have turned, I'm doing my startup and we urgently look for people like you. Since I don't want to tamper my anonymity here, let me tell you a few tips: First,

Modern Google/Apple maps are incredibly low contrast and I don't know why. Seems like they want to have streets and land stand back to make room for features such as pin locations, buisness markings (advertising) or dedicated laye

This is a nice piece on "computer archeology". Given the academic nature of language design (I don't want to say "functional programing" or "LISP" here), it is obvious why it was written in the form of a s

Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) are nowadays the academia variant of URLs. DOIs are somewhat similar to URNs, they don't resolve directly somewhere in the web but are more a kind of identifier. There are various tools for resolving, s

It would be easy for the authors of this tool to fix this behaviour. Checkout `git --help` vs `git help`, both versions work. That's just being nice to the user.

Thanks for the tip! In fact I'm not a native speaker and this was some kind of "false friend" from the German "du sagst es" (="you say it") :-)

Devils advocate: if "Making institutions" means "making foundations", this also means a rather inefficient way of using money. Foundations are conceptually built with a capital stock which must never decrease, so they ar

Many (mediocre) programmers see/use git only as a tool for sharing code with collaborators. These people can be easily identified by leaving traces of meaningless commit messages. The key is to convince these people that the git histor

Don't forget there is still Cygwin. I recently had to work on Windows, and Cygwin was actually the rescue, with a terminal which just works and proper bash commands that put PowerShell at shame. I guess WSL is similar but still painful

Wow, thanks for the Flat OpenDocument file type! Such kind of files are much better to treat with git (i.e. human readable diffs, for instance). However, unfortunately, these files tend to get very large (200kB ODS vs. 7MB FODS). What a pit

Adressing the second question, you might want to look into data warehousing . There is a world to discover on how to managing or merging various databases and schemes within a single "warehouse".

Not too bad, actually! A major drawback for me is that Inkscape can only open single pages (if you don't map PDF pages on layers — if I understand correctly, layers are already used for "overlaying" here). That's why my
