I've been here since the 90s. GIMP UI was always bad whereas Paintshop Pro (don't if you remember) and later Paint.NET each had a UI that you'd be up and using without thinking twice.

So they shaked hands with a long term NSA hardware contractor: https://www.motorolasolutions.com/newsroom/press-releases/na... Fantastic. Very secure.

It seems the most difficult topic is automating the performance optimizations. For example: "I've run this task on real hardware and took 5 seconds, keep optimizing and iterating until you achieve similar values" I'd lov

STUN/TUN are important because of bandwidth. With STUN the bandwidth used is only between the two connected devices, with VPN like Tor there is a bandwidth cost on all the servers where this data is passing. This is a big blocker for a

Quite amazing. This opens doors to many other emulators because now it can replicate quite nicely what is expected as output.

And yet notepad++ is installed by default on millions of development machines across the globe. This one of those cases that Microsoft should take over the project, keep as open source and give it proper prime time attention.

You seem to be unaware that Portuguese trade was happening in China (Macau) and the main hub connecting to European Portugal was based at India. Those boxes wouldn't write "chá" because they often contained cinnamon, sugar an

Yes. Typically is some town hall shifting to Linux and making a big fuss when literally million others are still running Windows. Seeing an agency doing it is good, but still less than the French ditching Teams and Zoom altogether as countr

Interesting enough, tea is an acronym in portuguese language. The words T.E.A. were written on boxes carrying the expensive substance from India. That means: Transporte de Ervas Aromáticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs)

Let's talk on https://p2p.radio/chat/#development Doesn't require credentials to chat there and we can talk about next steps, really enjoyed that concept of using normal phone calls again as modems.

It was chaotic as always. Poor corporate planning and execution is a long time Portuguese tradition. It seems our history is written by a few people that somehow emerge from that chaos and manage to put everyone else moving on some directio

True. Most of them were just trying to live better and enjoy life outside.

You are imprinting your worldview on someting that differs from historical facts, maybe influenced by anglophone chronicles of what the spanish did in the americas. Spanish were no angels, however, much of what is published tends to be bias

On the southern hemisphere of this planet it is the most spoken native language. Interesting enough it has a wild variation of accents/slangs but the written form mostly stays the same regardless of the country.

There was nothing in the Americas as trade partners, in the meanwhile Portugal was trading with Africa, India and Asia (including Japan) in regular routes. Your point is moot.

Hello, To send a simple text as "Hello" it takes 18 seconds which is excessively long. There is a library called rattlegram which is well tested and would transmit the same data in less than half a second: https://githu

There is misunderstanding. There is nothing against using it for those cases, the problem is when it gets used for producing long and unverified slop or debatting against humans.

Not on this article, but everywhere nowadays are hints of AI. For example using emoticons on the beginning of each sentence or never really going deep into the topic. The complete lack of grammatical errors is another tip, unless the prompt

Thanks for sharing, indeed it is good to reuse and improve hardware whenever possible rather than just going to waste. Had never heard of this project before, so it was a good find. I see the supported watches, still have a doubt: what is s

If possible, I'd ask for a shorter tag name to keep it more readable. For example: "gwtar-screenshot" and "gwtar-description" would work. I've just asked to make it official because otherwise is difficult to ge

We know in advance the size of the file, so just iterate 1000 bytes on each turn from the bottom until finding the start of the tree information. I've done this before for reading/extracting files inside ISO images from browsers.

Sure, but opening ports tends to be a headache when all you want to do is view the contents. On this case I wonder if the format can be further optimized. For example, .js files are supported for loading locally and albeit a very inefficien
