I have two rescue cats here, they are extremely sociable and pet-like. It is annoying sometimes such as right now when I am trying to recover a broken windows update and the cat wants to play and draw my attention by gnawing on the Surface

omg, I went to the Maker Faire in the Bay Area for the first time this year. It has always been a dream of me to go but I was never in the US at the right time. I remember thinking that I wanted to go again, I was not expecting it to be the

Maro, I don't know if you're familiar with the whole story but when this started he used some laws to force the lands into auction against the will of the people who lived there. It is not as if he was knocking on the door, announ

... And sorry for the personal post. I often avoid posting from the heart here but I spent the last 16 years going to Kaua'i, basically a large part of my adulthood and what I perceive as myself is linked that to the experiences in tha

I love Kaua'i and been there many times and consider the garden island my spiritual home. What Zuckerberg is doing to all those that are poorer than him is evil. I closed my Facebook account earlier this year and I think that people wh

I really recommend that book, not just this section. I really enjoyed it and it was crucial for me in creating a talk I gave after reading it about the fun in creating little languages.

Tell us more about your books. I'm addicted to scheme books :-) Also, what made you choose Haskell for your project? Can you share some of the reasoning?

You may enjoy onyx boox devices from https://onyxboox.com/ , they are all running Android and AFAIK you can install stuff through google play.

I really want to use your tool in a future project. I know Lua well enough and being encumbered at work with a legacy project that requires a crazy build pipeline that uses gyp and friends, makes me eager to try some other stuff. Thanks for

Couldn't find those `.bin.gz` files that are mentioned by the documentation in the linked url. Did the extension changed or are the VM ready images hosted elsewhere?

why paint when you can take a photo? there is a lot of wisdom in art, and a lot that goes beyond just the aesthetical aspects of it. Mechanical timepieces are appealing to people for different reasons. Some enjoy the luxury aspect as it can

ARM has those things but MIPS, once this process is completed, will be open source. This makes a difference regarding license pay.

I think your comment even though correct might be less impactful to your computer resources than you wanted. If you're reading books in the epub format, then this app will load a web engine anyway. Epubs are in essence a zipped collect

I grew up in Brazil reading French/Belgian comics. Recently, as an adult, I decided to learn French just to enjoy all the BDs which are never translated into other languages I know. People looked funny at me (and with a bit of pity) wh

That is not misleading at all. Many add-ons require such companion apps. Any add-on that wants to access the filesystem in a more broad way or needs to use raw sockets will need this type of native app to be present. There is a protocol for

My main machine broke two days ago and I had to buy and setup a new one quickly to resume working. I used scoop to install all applications I needed to work. It was easy and all the apps stay organized in their folder inside my home folder.

I know it is not what you've been doing but it may be something you'd like to consider. I also love RSS and even though there are many add-ons to use in Firefox to restore that kind of functionality, I prefer to use Thunderbird to

Red is a breath of fresh air for me. It is very pleasant to use and I can see myself using it more and more, specially to build personal tools. I invite everyone to check it out.

If Microsoft drops EdgeHTML, Mozilla will be the only remaining browser vendor using an engine that is not from that family. It doesn't matter if Google is paying for it, they pay to be the default search engine, and thats it. They don

I really liked your post. I'd love to see more people making current articles about alternative approaches to operating systems and environments like that. It seems people forgot that just about 15 ago, there were many alternatives to
