I never used MC (not very much into TUIs) but ages ago I wrote a graphical file manager in the same vein. For me the inspiration came from Directory Opus [1] on the Amiga, which was just awesome. When GTK+ was released in the late 90s, comb

Sure they do, but nobody seems to have posted it yet. The exact box in the article (it had a link!) has the following ingredients listed: Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Sug

Yeah, it's like people who spend time around campfires and have watched American media are all going "let's make s'mores" [1], and then they realize that "graham crackers" [2] are a mystery ingredient that

I'd say (from northern Europe) that 500 g [1] is a standard pack of butter, even though they've also added the smaller "half packs" of 250 g. For professional use, there's also the full kilogram. Whoa that has got t

Without further detail, that's not very helpful. GTK doesn't implement garbage collection, you need to clean up by destroying widgets and other resources that you have created. Of course, the operating system will free all resou

The "-ig" suffix corresponds roughly to English's "-ish", I would say. As a native speaker of neither German nor English, though.

I haven't touched GPU programming in ... uh ... decades, but is print debugging readily available for shaders? That was surprising, but glad to hear it! :)

Way over here in tiny little Sweden, I've multiple times seen Teslas with custom stickers saying "I got this before Elon went crazy" or something similar on the trunk. The situation might be different here though since there

They did not mean a circle drawn by a circle tool, but instead freehand drawing curved shapes.

This is a very nice idea, nicely presented too. Bug report: There's a typo in the actual popup as shown to me, it says "extention". Consistently enough, the typo is present in the code snippet in the article: if (!docum

Interesting! The first image which looks like some kind of music-making hardware ("instrument") looked a lot like the OP-1 by Teenage Engineering [1]. That would be an interesting partnership, right? [1]: https://teenag

I can bite (softly) on part of that, since there is C code in the post. :) This: size_t count = 0; /// ... code to actually count elided ... printf("Found %ld 10s\n", count); is wrong, since `count`

Uh, that little X post doesn't actually say "we're developing a printer". It's probably just trying to complain about printers (a computer-user pastime probably about as old as ... printers) in a humorous way.

Very interesting! Seems like a Bluetooth-connected display is kind of rare. This part: The one thing I’m left scratching my head over is the length field. If I have 0x20 bytes of image data to send over, I actually need to put 0x10 into th

It's right there in the intro section: Longfin eels are long-lived, migrating to the Pacific Ocean near Tonga to breed at the end of their lives. They are good climbers as juveniles and so are found in streams and lakes a long way inl

How to know that an article about licorice is from the US: they include the "black" qualifier. As if there were any other kind! To me (Swedish) the normal/expected qualifier is "sweet" (yes please) or "salty&qu

Wow, throwback to running MacScheme (I think) on the university's Macs in a computer lab in the mid-90s. It interpreted main keyboard Return differently from numpad Enter, which to me (coming from the Amiga) was very confusing. If I

So very typical for a Linus Åkesson post to drop lots of super-technical advanced "neo-retro" projects, then end it with going to a copy party and accidentally bumping into Rob Hubbard and Mahoney. He is really living the life.

It looks like Wikipedia [1] has a better explanation of the actual misunderstanding, the page you linked wasn't very clear to me (Italian "canali" corresponds to English "channel", not English "canal"). [1

There is at least two bugs in the blog post, here: Next simple task would be to fill the complete framebuffer with a solid colour: memset(f->buf, rgb, f->width*f->height*sizeoof(uint32_t)); The first is the obvious typo

If you're not familiar with the drilling rigs [1] used for this kind of tunneling, they're pretty cool (in my opinion) even compared to TBMs. They really wield those drills, it looks awesome. :) [1]: https://www.epiro

Larger stores in Sweden also use the coin system, even though as in the Netherlands it feels like use is declining in favor of just unlocked carts. My favorite part of the system in larger stores is that to handle people not carrying cash (

That size obviously doesn't parse, so it's hard to tell. It's how thick, again? I guess they just mean "15x17x1 mm" but somehow edited the 1 out and ... I don't know.
