The EU is not democratic at all. Especially because the unelected European Commission has executive and legislative power. The parliament only has veto rights and even at that it spectacularly fails as Art. 17 shows. The whole thing was a

On shadertoy there are many examples of GPU shaded audio synthesis. My favorites are: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4ts3z2 which is a perfect example for ambient sound https://www.shadertoy.com/view&#x

Transaction costs are very significant. As soon as a wallet contains money it is save to consider it as real. Distributing your money to multiple wallets as a single owner is very costly and makes no sense.

Tune xfps and actionfps values in config.h to really high numbers and st can be on the same level as xterm/ml-term.

From the comments of the corresponding LWN article ( https://lwn.net/Articles/751763/ ): You can easily get st down to 5-7ms latency by tuning the fps settings in config.h. Also the shell running inside it makes qui

Watching movies clearly only makes sense in a social context and is therefore predictably unsuitable for VR. However the "interactive media" market is also way overhyped, maybe similar to 3D-TVs. When the initial excitement of the

I disagree with the notion that your edge has to rely mainly on the infrastructure or insider knowledge. In today's markets you often have the case that very wealthy and high volume market participants have to make ends meet with rathe

Wayland was supposed to be the rescue from the arcane outdated X11 and it is severely disappointing. The reason is that it does not offer enough features. It should have font rendering, it should have window decorations by default it should

C++ will never die because it is the only language that really owns the "zero cost abstraction" business like no other language.

Rust seems to be the biggest joke of all time. Calling itself systems language when the average hello world program is 4 MB (!) in size. Also when I tried to compile a rather low complexity example with 80 lines of code the compiler ran out

Yay, even more features and complexity. Will they ever stop? It already takes years to really master C++. Soon you will be unable to read and understand C++ code without googling every second line.

Standing alone you can never be quiet sure. Could easily be solved with removing 3 pixels from the bottom serif.

If you are used to monospace bitmap fonts GNU Unifont does indeed look horrible. The thing that bothers me most is that if you type "l2345" you would never notice that the first character is a lowercase "L" and not &quot

> 1) "Shared libraries are bogus." Starwman, nobody said that. Shared libraries make sense when a program wants to load additional code at run time. A classical example is loading and unloading plugins. For everything else, not

In my case the problem was indeed that things that were "obvious" were not documented. Some of those "obvious" things were in fact the result of decades of trail and error. In the end the student did it in that particula

This is the classic theorist talking who apparently knows nothing about the real world. It takes a lot of expertise to build a particle accelerator. This expertise will literally die off, if we stop building accelerators for say the next 50

I could not disagree more with the general statement of the author. Actually, we are now going from a boring phase of particle physics where the theory was able to predict anything we were able to measure afterwards to a phase where no theo

OCR-A is my favorite monospace font. Sadly unicode support is obviously rather limited if present at all.

If the Japanese government wants to do the right thing, all it has to do is to let the population contract even further until Asset prices begin to freefall. Then everything will be affordable again for young Japanese citizens and a good lo
