Yes, I'm on KDE on X. gnome-terminal does not work (easily) on my distro so I cannot measure that. I did measure xterm which takes over a minute for both tests and also stresses out X. None of the other terminal emulators did that. Sti

I've been trying for half a year to get the source code for a very simple app from the Dutch parliament. They've not complied yet and put me in touch with their lawyer who also keeps delaying. Normally, there should be a response

The European Directive 2003/98/EC on re-use of public sector information allows any EU citizen to request data (source code is data) from any institution that is funded for at least 50% by government. The data should be given in a

Anothor option is to use a NonZero type. A NonZero type is one that has been checked to not be zero. The type system ensures that you can only use a NonZero as a denominator in a division. You can minimize the number of checks for zero and

Germany goes even further. The authorities collect tax for the religious organizations since 1919. If you're a Roman Catholic moving to Germany, suddenly you're faced with 8-9% of extra income tax. https://en.wikipedia.

"Tagged" PDF files allow text extraction. Tagged PDF is often required for accessibility. Screen readers for the blind should be able to extract the text. This is possible with Tagged PDF. PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-1b are tagge

There are quite some challenges. Qt, like most C++ programs can exhibit undefined behavior. In Rust, no code is allowed to have undefined behavior [0]. For safe functions, the compiler checks this. For unsafe functions, the function documen

Rust Qt Binding Generator is for projects that contain Rust and QML or Rust and Qt widgets. The GUI code will be in the native language for Qt: C++ or QML. The data model underneath and any non-UI parts can be written in Rust. This approach

Nice! QML is really great for these things. Author of the blog post here. I've started out the code in the post with a pure QML version of course and then replaced the model with a Rust model since the point of the blog is to show how
