They may still be published, but GUI guidelines are generally not followed anymore. The rise of Electron applications is just one reason why this happened.

Me too. However, I can't run it on one of my computers because I need to do development on it which requires the GPU. I really wish there was a reasonable solution for using the GPU with Qubes. If that existed I wouldn't have to u

Do you happen to have a link to it? I've been playing with MVS 3.8j on Hercules on and off for the last year and found it rather interesting. I'd love to play around with the Unisys stuff as well, since I've never used it bef

I disagree. Did you write code for it? It was terrible as a Java library. Very low level, forcing you to manually manage resources like it was C. The API design was also terrible, seemingly designed by someone who had never seen Java before

I'm checking Gandi.net, and .site, .website and .space seems to be around 1 USD per year. They are marketing it as 95% off, but that doesn't change the fact that it's that price.

This font looked perfect on Firefox on Android, but when I read it on my desktop (Firefox on Linux) it looks wrong. It seems as though the scale is wrong, and the character 'o' gets a white line though it.

I've always typed poweroff. I guess that's because of my time at Sun, since that is the fastest way to shutdown a Solaris machine. I was always under the impression that shutdown -h ran more shutdown scripts?

If you are going to play the early MGS, play the MSX version instead. It's really good, and what I've seen from the NES version, it's quite bad.

I would believe you if it wasn't for the fact that most things being invented in software today are new. The industry keeps reinventing things that people did in the 60's without even doing it properly. Why doesn't any recent

The rumour is that the old control panel will be removed in the next version of Windows 10, so I'd hope so?

To me is seems as though Snap is playing a similar part as Unity did in Ubuntu. It's Canonical suffering from NIH. Flatpak exists and works. The application I'm working on is distributed on Flathub, and I don't have the time

I worked for Sun until the early 2000's. It was a nice place to work. I liked the openness internally, regardless of what team/country you were working in. I don't know where you could work these days that has the same kind o

Every once in a while I try the voice recognition by trying to speak normally to it. Normally, as is saying things like: "please set a reminder for five... umm... no I mean 6 o'clock". Normal humans do this all the time, and

Because not letting your own citizens enter your country is something very few countries do willfully. As I mentioned in the previous post, they now quarantine them in dedicated facilities for 2 weeks.

In all the car radios that I've had, I can tune it to a 20'th of a MHz. So it'll go from 102.0 to 102.05 and then 102.1. I've never had anything lock up on those .05 frequencies though. I wonder if it's every used a

The vast majority of people entering Singapore in March were Singapore citizens returning. A lot of them were students who came back because the schools had closed. The mistake was not letting them it, but to let them self-quarantine at hom

Almost all new cases are from clusters in dormitories for migrant workers. They live very close together in those locations, and things will spread very fast. Numbers outside these locations are going down because of the recent "circui

Speaking to my family who lives in Sweden, while there is no official lockdown, they sure seems to be mostly confined to their homes. It's based on recommendations rather than regulations, but the effect is the same.

Qubes OS is the only solution that I know of that solves these issues right now. It's a pity that using it forces you to not use your GPU, which is a blocker for many use-cases. I'm a huge fan of Qubes OS but I still don't us

It's purely mechanical. I'm really not the right person to explain this, but the second video in the playlist explains it.

I think it will be hard to change that. But it's not alone. Javascript also uses UTF-16.

That's a True Scotsman fallacy. I guess all those millions upon uncountable millions of lines of Java, Erlang, C#, etc code in production is not serious? Because it's running in a VM?

by lokedhs 7y ago
People are complaining about VM performance, while at the same time I'm guessing a fair number of the same people happily writes production code in Python. It's hard to find a slower language than Python. People are not using VM-b

I may be off as well, and we're probably talking about the same version. As far as I remember it was version 4 that was the slow and buggy one. I was trying to find out when these versions were released to see if I could line it up wit

That's funny. I was using IntelliJ IDEA at version 3, and it was an amazing experience. With version 4 they made changes to the code parser that made it slow and incredibly unstable. It's been improved since then of course but in
