I only use matte screens. It definitely isn't that though. I didn't mean to say that black screens are too bright, that wouldn't make any sense. What I tried to explain was the sensation, not the actual effect. It was a reall

I don't think it happens to everybody with astigmatism. I cannot read any text with black background. After a very short amount of time I'm unable to read anything, and once I take my eyes off the screen it feels as though I'

Nowhere near "everyone" is on Twitter. I have to admit that I don't know a single person who is (I'm sure some of them are, it's not like I ask everyone if they use some specific platform). The point is that a lot o

Windows Terminal is very difficult to work with if one has astigmatism that prevents working with dark background. I don't usually use Windows, so perhaps I didn't spend enough time on it, but I was unable to create a colourmap wi

Flatpak, probably. I'm not saying Flatpak is great, but it's the best we have, in my opinion. That said, having published one application on Flathub, packaging Flatpak is not a great experience, especially when the two major repos

I'm not in the US, and I haven't visited the country in a very long time. But I'm casually curious about all of this, and have looked at US media. You are absolutely right that CNN is biased. They clearly are not trying to ma

I upgraded my Peertube instance to 3.0 and tried to stream. I noticed that when I did a 4k 60 stream, it was very unstable. It turns out that streaming uses more RAM on the server (I only had a 2 GB digitalocean instance). When I did the up

Didn't that default change recently? I installed Peertube a couple of months ago, and I'm pretty sure that option was off by default (and I never changed it).

I discovered the "s" key more or less by accident. Since I learned that you actually can single-step, I've used it a few times, but most of the time it's not necessary. Compare this to another project I've been work

PDP-10 was an architecture, and there were many operating systems running on them. You may be thinking of TOPS-20, which indeed used filename.ext, where the extension was limited to 3 characters. There was also ITS, which was one of the fam

I wrote a templating library that was used for a Slack close we developed a number of years back. It parses the HTML with embedded code, and generates a Lisp function which is compiled on the fly thanks to Lisp giving runtime access to the

It's suited for a very specific kind of data processing. It's a kind which isn't typically used today. The language combines presentation and storage in a way I've never seen in any other language. Let's say you hav

As a native Swedish speaker, I tend to follow Swedish documentation writing rules even when I write English. In particular, one should always use passive voice, and also avoid terms such as "you". In other words, write "How t

I have quite strong astigmatism (although I've never heard it referred to as a "disability"). I am completely unable to use software with a dark background. If dark mode is enforced, then me and a lot of other people are excl

Centos was always a free alternative to Redhat. I and many other people used it because it was a way to get the benefits of Redhat without paying for it. This is a really smart more on their part to get people to stop doing precisely this,

At the very least, use isatty() to check whether the output is actually to a terminal before polluting the log files.

No, please don't use escape codes in your output. Use the library that is designed for this purpose: terminfo. Explicit escape codes is problematic when using any terminal that isnt' fully compatible with the xterm control codes,

I remember a bit over 20 years ago when we had a full 19" rack full of storage. It was about 500 GB if I'm not mistaken.

If you're born in the late 40's, you'd probably have been exposed to some punch cards but when starting work, it'd be the 70's already. I'm sure there was still punch cards around at the time, but at least you

I think the heart thing reflects a somewhat serf-like idea. That you were born into a class, and that was your role for the rest of your life. If that is your frame of mind, then the conclusion of the movie makes perfect sense. The most hon

Isn't 401k tax-free in the US? At least where I'm from, people put money into these kinds of pension funds since they don't have to pay any tax on the profits, which is usually enough to beat any other low-risk investments.

That may be the case for you, but for many people, their job requires them to communicate with a lot of people. For these kinds of jobs, being in the office is a lot more efficient. If I was a regular developer, working on a single part of

Over here (Singapore), we were out of the office for several months, and while it was annoying, I didn't feel too bad about it. At least I could sleep in in the morning. My biggest problem was because I work a lot with people in Europe

I'm using a T490, and with one exception everything has worked perfectly. Things like Thunderbolt connecting to a docking station with multiple monitors just works out of the box. That's not to say that it's been perfect. The
