The Pandora "simple mode" is pretty nice .. I haven't seen any problems with usability in this mode. There's even a very nice interface for access to the community repo that is actually easier to use than the App Store

Interesting. Got a link to an example of where this is happening? Because its a form of irrationality I'm not accustomed to with Linus, and I'd like to see for myself if he might have reasons for behaving this way beyond just st

Personally, I enjoy Linus' rants on a regular basis. They are the perfect antidote to total idiocy that happens in the Linux software world at times. I've very rarely ever found his point of view to be incorrect, and the abrasion

I concur - nation states under constant attack from imperial aggressors survive better under military dictatorships, precisely because that is what is required to survive during times of war. If the West would leave the Middle East alone fo

I'd really love to know the technology behind lexicography, as a state of the art. If anyone works in this field, any pointers you might provide are highly appreciated. I understand that unity is a difficult thing to attain in diction

I would like to have a kind of API that allows me to add a new word entry, add its definitions, describe the derivations (if any) of the word, and have a field for examples of the words usage. Some sort of system that would allow me to tak

Yes indeed, PoC||GTFO is very programming specific, down to the point where the PDF is an executable that can be used to serve .. the PDF. ;). (This particular zine is famous for such badonkadonk!)

You are welcome, I am most glad to have shared it with a like-minded soul. Don't forget to read the fine print! :)

Sir and/or Madam, I feel the need to inform you that you are, more than likely, quite ill-informed. Zines are a spectacular human achievement, worthy of your attention and respect. Or, were it otherwise, how do you explain this godam

4 refs in my post, check it. You won't find "full stack development" in the roots of computing history either; language is malleable and useful. Get over it.

foldoc.org is the product of a single individuals' construction of definitions of computing terms and is by no means a complete and authoritative source of technical terms. It says so right there on the site... However, this is a fun

Communities engage in forms of exchange. If I were using this to communicate with other members, for example interested in retro computing, it'd be nice to have a way of exchanging hardware with each other, with some kind of economic

It would appear to be the case - I don't see it, but others in Europe do... its maybe also related to local laws (Austria) disallowing such things, and if that is the case I sure am thankful.

I'd really prefer something not web-based, but if you know of any tool like this, I'm all ears anyway. What I'd really want is to be able to construct lexicographic sets and save the in SQLite databases, for use in apps of c

I want exactly the opposite - to be able to construct dictionaries where there are no words used in definitions that don't also have their own entries. To me this is a key feature of a dictionary - definition completeness. And its one

I'd rather like to have a service that allows me to construct my own dictionaries. There have got to be some standard OpenSource/GNU-like tools that give a budding lexicographer the things they need to construct dictionaries - do

The way to treat the opioid crisis is that it is a battlefield, and America is losing. Drugs have long been seen as a way of usurping the will of ones' enemies; it is no different now. America has been under pharmacological attack fo
