I use a tiling window manager, so positioning is not a problem. Problem is that, on a my laptop (4k) screen things look normal, but on 2k external screen things look bigger by default. Ideally the GUI toolkit should be able to pick up per s

Did that solution involve using xrandr scaling parameter? unfortunately that's not right solution IMO, as I observed it takes lot of CPU. Hacky and feels laggy. My solution is to organize myself so that I don't have to move window

Most apps I use on Ubuntu work well on hidpi. The main problem I face is when I connect my laptop with 4k screen with some external monitor with 2k or 1080p display.

I always found myself convinced to use some plugin more often after watching some screencast or small gifs. If there are any already it would great if you could link them in project page.

I would like to use Emacs on terminal, but few of keybindings don't work well based on terminal to terminal. For example, last three months I got a Mac for work, and on iTerm "C-/" didn't work for Undo, or some keyb

There is one to one correspondence between types and propositions, so I think it wouldn't do much with theory. I wonder type system expressive enough to encode laws would be decidable (at-least practically at scale of whole constitutio

Reminds me of Godel's incompleteness theorem which says that you can't have a set of axioms which are both complete and consistent. I don't understand law or this theorem (and its implications) well enough, but I felt this ha

I once random lost my complete library. Above that, there was no way to get it back. Spotify people however did recover my playlist. I do use Linux client though, which is not officially supported.

As per this article, Netflix only migrated their billing infrastructure not their video streaming service.

How about Qt bindings to other languages? Last I checked for Python (like 4 years) ago, the biggest problem I had was with licence (GPL). But yeah, compared to Python, using C++ also gives me system threads which might come handy every now

Its useless. Hopefully doesn't get in your way. I had it disabled for a while, until some update overwrite my settings. I perhaps didn't realize this for quite some time, and later just didn't care to re-edit the config. Othe

That's one of the craziest hack I've seen in while to get stuff done! And this kind of makes me happy.

Coincidentally, just today my friend was talking about terminal based browser, and I opened w3m, only to discover that it displays images now. I still couldn't figure out how it does that, so thought I might as well just ask here as it

The problem I faced was scrolling lags. I've heard it got much better with 6.3/6.4 release. Otherwise, it was pretty cool that you can see how data flows through your functions by just hovering mouse over identifiers, or see the c

Back when I was kid, I chose Flash programming over C++. It was just more fun, with results that you could show off to your friends. I didn't care how things work, I just wanted to build stuff. Once I started building tiny little games

Its easy to write imperative code in OCaml. OCaml also has a class system. These two points make transition from languages such as Python, Java... easier.

I would love these kind of interviews to happen, but it comes to this question - does the interviewer or the candidate is willing to spend this much time? I'm in university, and it would be hectic to give every interview this way. I se

I fear, this may impact negatively in terms of power. If I'm not wrong, the point of having interrupts was to save CPU cycles wasted on checking status, i.e. polling. Overall, I think it would be interesting to see some benchmarks on r

Speaking of tooling, correct me if I'm wrong but one thing I miss when working on Java (I've not worked much on Java) is intuitive and build/package manager. Java build tools seems to be painful to use outside IDE. Cargo on

Awesome! I don't use Windows except for gaming, but its good to know something like this exist. Just to fill up last information gap, is there any good terminal emulator on windows? I remember using something that came with Cygwin long

Thanks for answering. Small suggestion - its kind of hard to find Github link. Perhaps make it more visible.

Nice work! I sometimes use strace/ltrace and this program would certainly be nice addition my toolbox! One thing I find useful sometimes for debugging purposes is to actually see the contents of each system call. Do I get to see that w

Really cool work. Looking forward to updates. When I tried to run Internet Explorer and open a website, the window closed (crashed I guess). I really want to open some common websites on Win 98 :D

Other people have provided good answers, but I'm just gonna add another link explaining Y Combinator ``Why of Y" by Matthias Felleison[1] , which is so far my favorite explanation. https://xivilization.net/~marek&#

Looking at their future plan, can we say they are aiming to build something like RPython, but instead of a subset of Python support full Python language?

Qt Framework uses them extensively. You might find pretty good examples there. Its been a long while, so I can't specifically give examples.

Support was terrible last May when I bought the laptop. Now everything works except the hidpi issues. But that's not laptop problem. Overall the only problems I face is with - GTK2 apps, they look awkward. Eg. very small icons - Spoti
