There certainly is something weird about the relation of the title of the blog post to its content: the content is mostly about services, a lot of which seem quite costly. I'm not saying the post doesn't make sense, but it would b

Yeah, I guess NoteCalc will be useful to many people, it's just that I'm noticing the sad lack of utilization of LuaTex (probably because people don't know it exists and exposes the power of TeX through Lua). The targets of N

I'm not quite sure what's the purpose of either NoteCalc or Soulver, but I am currently getting acquainted with TeX - and from that perspective NoteCalc seems comically under-powered compared to what's achievable through plug

On the one hand you're somewhat right: there are certainly many of those who fear marijuana with the only reason being that it is among "the drugs"; but is marijuana abuse not the greater issue of the two? Certainly you can a

Similarly as with Wikipedia, TV Tropes is a good source of interesting factoids, viewpoints, trope descriptions and examples; but, even more obviously than Wikipedia, TV Tropes suffers from a lack of editorial oversight: there are usually m

It's source-available, not open-source. And the schematics sources are not available; but I don't think it would be very difficult to reinvent them, considering the number of parts is small. On a lighter note, they make it very ea

Thank you! I've searched for this three years ago, and I think it wasn't available on the Internet back then.

Don't get me wrong, seeing the layout is great if you don't mind the requirement for a GUI, but the fdisk UI is actually pretty good, too. It also queues and executes a lot of changes to get to your desired state, and it can show

If the uint64s are aligned, wouldn't it be better to use alignas (to make the buffer aligned as soon as it's allocated)? As far as I see that way you get a longer buffer only when necessary (you never waste memory), plus you could

I agree with you, but I'd wager there was an alternative way to get rid of Stallman that would be both kinder and less harmful to GNU and FSF causes.

Your comment is absurd. From the very names of "testing" and "unstable" you can tell that they're not meant for normal usage.

Up-to-dateness, no unnecessary distro-specific patching. EDIT: My comment was ambiguous, I didn't mean that there are no Archlinux-specific patches; rather that there's more of an effort with Archlinux to let upstream be upstream
