I absolutely love 4chan with quote inlining switched on. You get all the benefits of a flat conversation (which I think is much easier to follow,) but if you need context on a post, you can expand the replies into something resembling a thr

I see. It would have been nice to see the problem fixed on the Cygwin side, but either way, it's great to be able to use tmux on Windows. I missed it.

Git for Windows uses MSYS, which is actually a fork of Cygwin. Compared to Cygwin, Git's MSYS distro is missing a lot of software and the version of Vim packaged with Git for Windows is a native Windows build (not MSYS-aware,) so it do

I like to use a familiar set of utilities on Windows. It's not just for software development either. A little while ago I used the Cygwin shell to clean up my downloads folder and it worked like a charm. I also used to have a couple of

Well, I just installed this. I always assumed tmux wasn't compatible with Cygwin, but I guess it is. Note that you can skip steps 2 and 3 if you install libevent-devel and libncurses-devel in step 1. The Cygwin provided versions of the

Same here. On Windows/Chrome 30 with a window size of about 900x950px, I can't scroll down. Increasing the windows's width or decreasing the height makes it work again.

I can see a banner about halfway down linking to DreamSpark. They still only have the RC, but apparently the final version will be available on the 31st.

by rossy 13y ago
Is it available on DreamSpark yet? There's a link to DreamSpark on the download page, but it takes you to the RC, which has been out for a while.

Media Player Classic does have it's own video renderers, however, which are responsible for scaling and colour conversion. It also has FFmpeg built in to decode some more popular formats without relying on system codecs. The washed out

It's possible they're using an older version of MSVC or an alternative compiler. I don't think /DYNAMICBASE is on by default in VS2005/2008 and it's definitely not on by default in MinGW GCC.

Yeah, when Malcolm said that it put to rest all my fears, since there's no way they'd be able to pull that off. On a related note, Tom Tilley is an amazing presenter and I think he really showed that with the way he handled Anthon

The Humble Bundles did start with indie games, and one big selling point was the lack of DRM. The ebook and music bundles also had no DRM. Not only do these "big publisher" bundles have DRM, this particular one is also specificall

Yeah, VS2013 looks like a step in the right direction. I probably won't use it myself since I prefer FOSS development tools, but it will be a huge win for interoperability. I hope they implement enough C99 for big projects like FFmpeg
375.
by rossy 13y ago
I wish these projects would just switch to MinGW. VLC and FFmpeg already use MinGW to target Windows. It's fast, stable and it lets them use nice C99 features like designated initalizers.

I opened up the dev console and added white-space: pre-wrap; I guess they assume emails to be hard wrapped.

I have to say that's beautiful. You've definitely caught my interest with this project (Spire?) I loved Dustforce too. Keep up the good work.

It's great to see mpv talked about on HN. I started using uau's patches for MPlayer a while ago (mainly for mkv segment linking, which has already been mentioned in the comments here and is a feature that MPlayer-svn still lacks.)

Maybe he was "the first to the finish line." It all goes to show how silly this is. If there was two finished projects with such similar logos, that would be a real problem.

I've always thought this would be easier to make than Wine, since OSX is already Unix-like, Darwin is free software, GNUStep already has a lot of the Cocoa base classes and Mac apps use GL instead of D3D. You'd be able to get prog

It's great to see so many improvements in the DIB engine. I had to run Electronics Workbench through Wine a couple of years ago, and while it was definitely usable, it occasionally got messy corrupted graphics.

What surprised me the most is that URL components can contain encoded slashes (%2f). I tried replacing some of the slashes in my open tabs with %2fs. Some sites treat them as path separators, some don't and some treat them differently

I wonder if this happens because of open source being mistaken for public domain. I've definitely had lecturers who confuse the two.

I'd much rather use those tools at my own discretion than have them clutter an area of the site where I expect to see feedback from my human users. It would also make GitHub a much more intimidating place to submit code. I don't want those

I really love seeing innovation and attention to detail in native Windows API code like this. Storing the 64-bit executable inside the 32-bit executable is a great idea for the reasons you stated. Also it's so rare to see different icons fo
