And sadly it still has some unfixed bugs since 2015 where people don't consider the up/down indicators correctly, and will not enter the elevator even though the lights are on in the direction they want to go.

I think the reason for this could be to prevent you cancelling other people's destinations. I can only imagine the public freakout that could unfold, even if it was accidental.

I feel like the main mistake here is that Inkscape uses the .svg extension for what it basically it's own format. While it is essentially .svg compatible, it includes many extensions and metadata necessary for Inkscape to function. You

DNS + NTP are completely optional, but you get really good integration with systemd-networkd's DHCP client if you use them. Switching network is completely seamless, and the resolver updates fully automatically (direct DNS and NTP are

I often feel the same, and there is certainly a bit of learning curve, but in my experience, all the time you spend battling the compiler in Rust is time saved from debugging in C++, several times over. I'm repeatedly surprised by how

Yes it does. I do the same, with an alias and have .git somewhere else not directly in $HOME, but pointing to it with --git-dir. If you run git in ~, it will not recognize it as a git repository or worktree. You can only modify the repo wit

Looking like a photo is quite distinguishable from human vision.

Impressive, but I think that photorealism is not necessarily what you would want to strive for in games, as it is not true realism. It emulates the deficiencies of the camera that we perceive it as realistic, because we are trained on thous

qrencode ( https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/ ) already does. It even does half-height squares (2 bits per character).

qrencode[1] has been doing this for a long time in the terminal. It even supports half-block UTF-8 character (two bits per character, which makes them more square). [1]: https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/

How I wish more programmers would understand this. It's like learning to eat broccoli. At first, its bitter and unfamiliar, but if you are exposed to it, you learn to recognize it and like it, and it's actually good for you despit

I got one of those all metal passive cooling cases for the Raspberry Pi 4 off Ali Express and it keeps it at below 50°C idle and maxes out at 65°C with all cores running. No fans necessary.

I boot my RPi 4 entirely from USB with the Sep-3-2020 bootloader. No sd-card inserted. The Sandisk Extreme Pro benchmarks at 230 MB/s on USB 3.0.

systemd also has container support baked it. It's actually as simple as 'pacstrap/debootstrap' followed by 'machinectl start'.

He makes a point of including all the newer features of C, including fixed-size integers, thread API, restrict qualifiers, and atomics, and dedicate a very significant part of the book to them. On top of that he gives many best-practice adv

Is there a note taking tool that fully separates taking the note from the organizing (filing) and auto-archives everything? After using any tool, e.g. OneNote or even just a text file for a while, I get overwhelmed every time I open it to t

Just today I needed to write a .csv file in Python on Windows and got a file with CR CR LF line endings by default (\r\r\n). That was using the standard 'import csv' in Python 3.

The stylized design makes my brain recognize is as just another random inspirational poster or an add, not something I should pay attention to. We have standard and widespread symbols already for stop/go which should be applied here in

The pitch/yaw/roll rates have opposite sign to what I would expect (at least as a layman). Positive rate means decreasing angle.

Using rename() does this for you. It's actually guaranteed to preserve the contents of the old file for any process still having it open while atomically letting any future process only see the new file.

Sorry, but it already is. No-one write layout engines or canvas rasterizers any more. They just use chromium. Spotify, Teams, Slack... I expect even Word + Excel to eventually transition.

I don't mean to troll you, but if you were doubtful that 0.999... = 1, then you should also be doubtful that 0.333.. = 1/3. Any argument that 0.999... is not quite 1 can also be used to argue that 0.333... is not quite 1/3. I

The widgets look spot on, but the text has atrocious kerning. 'ti', 'll', 'd!' are squashed together. Windows 95++ had extremely good small size font rendering and did pixel perfect alignment and kerning of pre

You can't easily compare countries if you plot against time. China's outbreak was in February, USA's is now. As pointed out in the video ( https://invidio.us/watch?v=54XLXg4fYsc ), viruses don't care if it

Static IP addressing inside the tunnel is still a major pain point for significant use-cases, e.g. company-wide VPN access for all employees. How do you do static addressing for 200+ people with their own devices?

I don't think you are particularly restricted to doing this, but lex/yacc was conceived and designed at a time (1970s) when memory was limited, and speed and size of code that could be parsed was valued much higher than structured
