I can't tell how much of this is sarcasm. Turning what started out as a problem of "How do you load arbitrary remote TROFF sources into man" into "throw docker at it" because someone suggested an intermediate soluti

The main issue I've had with their new UI is the massive size of everything, it's fair enough for fat finger phone displays but is annoyingly wasteful for any regular sized desktop. This is partly due to the increased padding as p

Yeah I saw that too, it does it in one other place, the feet are also sort of gliding around. If you look at the people in the background a lot of them are doing the same, and there are other temporal-mechanical inconsistencies like joints

Another form of FOSS entitlement maybe. It's ok for some quirky opinionated things to just exist, to be non-inclusive, the preference of a minority. If they are not being forced upon everyone their is no justification for evaluating th

The repeat delay is actually controlled by your OS here because it's just a simple onkeydown event. Implementing movement rate would require far more code because you need up and down listeners and a state.

From the source the only thing I can see that would make garbage is b.innerText=o which is set 50 times each frame. But even then it's just one giant text node, not html elements so it's surprising this is causing so much GC in Fi

I remember playing Doom on Linux on my 3rd gen iPod... It got rather warm, and just seemed crazy silly at the time. For context, smart phones weren't quite a thing yet and capacitative touch screens were an emerging technology.

It works as a tax free investment. So long as it actually pays off in the future, they get to skip tax by putting it straight into R&D now instead of tomorrow. Another thing they did was sell hardware below cost, so the public kind of b
