It is also in the tool options control pane ( Pick layer or guide | move the selected layers). Not going to say your expectation is wrong, I too almost always want the tool to operate on the selected layer rather than whatever layer has the

Sqlite is probably overkill, you will probably never have actual relational data in an image format, But what it does bring to the table is a built in b-tree based storage, that is, you don't need to load the entire file into memory to

The question I always have is "why would the formal verification be any more correct than the program it is verifying?", Note: not bugs in the verification engine, but the spec made for the program. It is not a big deal, I think f

Fair enough, But I am of the opinion that blocks of code and magic numbers should almost always be named, There is a lot of intent that is lost when the name is skipped. It is also my main complaint about traditional math notation, They enj

Very cool demo, The curve does sort of go screwball when the control points are close together. After playing with it some more. Not close together, but more side loaded. On reflection while many of these forms would be awkward to find in a

I sort of wonder is there a "true" way to represent color? Would a intensity over frequency curve do it? I probably lack the terminology to express myself properly, but color ends up being a very human thing, with a huge focus on

That is the fundamental of guerrilla warfare. The guerrillas can't win but can loose with very little cost while the cost for the established side to "Win" is an order of magnitude more.

Someone did fly a sort of balloonocopter, a quad copter that used inflated balloons as the cross arms, My disappointment is immeasurable that they were not allowed to use a lifting gas in it. I mean, it flew poorly anyway, but seeing as it

Wow, there were a bunch of very interesting designs, Probably telling the winner was a very tradition design, but I love seeing wild stuff being tried. The kite copter was my favorite, but the large rotor powered by small tip rotors was a c

That is mixing up a stable ABI vs a stable API. OpenBSD is sort of the poster child here, They notoriously do not have a stable ABI, I would not want to try and ship closed source software on obsd, it would be an absolute nightmare. But the

AMD only pressured Intel into adapting the 64-bit extensions to the x86 architecture, The Intel native 64-bit system was the Itanium. Which they were hoping would break x86 and it's messy open legacy that allowed AMD to profit off it.

by somat 2mo ago
A fair statement, but a stable ABI is only needed when you don't have the source. Seeing as most of the value proposition of Linux is that having the source is good, I find no fault in an unstable ABI.

Until you try and use a device in a moving bouncing vehicle, touchscreens and pads are infuriately bad, but that silly nipple, rock solid, works fine. It is a niche use case but it made me a convert.
