I believe gitk and git-gui are written in tcl. Those are definitely things that get shipped to the user, so (at least for those parts) you wouldn't need to have a toolchain on the build server.

"My Computer" and "My Documents" first showed up in Windows 95, though. In that context, it's not really a multi-user system. But yes, I do quote all my paths excessively in shell scripts because of Program Files…

I think he's too exposed to users reports, because anybody that shows up is in a potential data loss situation. So he's very focused on making everything as bug free as possible, and getting frustrated that people with different f

I thought most distros have basically disabled the footgun modes at this point; that is, using the configuration that would lose data means you'd need to work hard to get there (at which point you should have been able to see all the w

Wouldn't that be an application (or at most system library) concern though? The OS is just there to sling pixels, it wouldn't have any idea whether those pixels are blurry… well for VR it would all be OpenGL or equivalent so the O

Hmm, started looking into this and realized I already had tlp running, and that supports limiting maximum charge on the battery in the laptop. I didn't seem to see anything equivalent in the tuned documentation, but I did see the prese

That was SpeedStep? By the time AMD got to it it was just sort of expected and didn't have a fancy name, as far as I know. Or maybe I'm thinking of something else entirely…

Given that Gamers Nexus needs the ad revenue wouldn't linking to a re-upload that wouldn't give them any of that be sort of bad?

What do those roles do? Where I work there's a managerial track and a technical track, but if you actually read the job descriptions the technical track is basically either the same as management track, or a devrel role (effectively ma

I very vaguely recall that the format works across machines (and it was used in old versions of RPGMaker)? Looks like it's actually documented now, since https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.1.0/marshal_rdoc.html

Speculation, since I don't have the relevant software: - the Windows icon cache is dependent on the display configuration (in particular, bit depth, and maybe pixel density) - unplugging a monitor therefore flushes the icon cache - the

Does anybody have a good writeup/tutorial on doing similar things with Wayland? From my limited knowledge that might be with RDP instead, but there hasn't been anything more distilled as far as I know? I've also done xpra in

Hmm, does AliExpress do inventory commingling too? I see that they do seem to have something about managed inventories… because I was originally going to say that things bought from "flagship stores" on AliExpress might be more li

There's also no reason why they needed to have write access to post code review comments. But for some reason they ask for it and you can't deny that part when hooking up their thing.

For me using Microsoft's RDP client to a Windows machine a few states over is rather frustrating; using a slower machine locally was much better.

CarPlay Ultra sounds like it's extending it further? That is, it's still essentially VNC† with some data fed from the car and rendered by the phone, but now with multi-monitor support. † it's more complicated than that, but s

Don't forget cross-industry collusion. It can be illegal to form organized cartels, but it's totally fine to listen to what your consultant says, even if they got it by talking to their other clients.

Bugzilla isn't so much a Mozilla product as something that was home grown at Netscape because there wasn't much else at the time, and they just kept using due to inertia. Though as a developer I'd still prefer that over Jira,

Things like E4X, sharp variables, and array comprehensions have already been removed; it's just that the mass of newer developers mean the average doesn't know about them. Unfortunately it's not like they never remove things.

Google Maps from a decade ago was pretty decent. There's also GMail from around when it was new. That was all on crappier client hardware too. Note that I didn't say anything about their _current_ incarnations…

Note that the driver wasn't found to be fault-free (they got something like two thirds of the blame), so it's unclear why appeals would overturn this.

Chinese education starts with phonics, as in pinyin (or in Taiwan, zhuyin). Similarly, in Japanese it starts with kana. The difference is that afterwards you have to learn to read a separate system (hanzi/kanji) after. Korean fixed tha

I feel like if Facebook parsed the names then it might be reasonable to hold them liable; them using it unintentionally would be treating them as opaque blobs. But that wouldn't be useful for advertising. Since I couldn't find it

I believe the real fun is when doing this on Windows, because it doesn't use Unix signals (and generally speaking you only get the equivalent of SIGKILL but not SIGTERM, but you can opt into ~SIGINT). I was hoping this would actually d
