Oh, wow. That's a pity. I mean, you're down to the battery time of any random x86 laptop. I usually get barely a working day out of my corporate MacBook Pro M1 with Corpo Security Special Sauce, CLion and Teams. But I have to kill

How do you recreate the rich interaction that you have when you meet somebody face to face, when you have to use (a) Amazon's crappy Zoom clone (forgot the name, they forced their applicants to use it, too. It's horrible and could

OMG, this is how I started programming. I was so happy creating small helpers with this toolchain, e.g. something like Spotlight to launch programs with with a hotkey + the name of the program, on Windows 98.

Yeah, that's also how my long journey with induction cooktops started. My main grief with the induction cooktops was the ergonomics: Most touch surfaces on those cooktops require at least 2 touches: select the flame, then adjust the po

Using an M2 SSD instead of soldering the chip on board has more implications: PCB gets physically larger, and takes more power or has less performance talking to the SSD. Heat transfer is also worse. I completely understand why they go for

Thank you for the pointer! ConTeXt looks pretty promising.

It's a pity I feel because microtype is from 2004. That's 20 years ago. Yet, typesetting on the web is still ... not there? I think there's a lot of potential untapped. Also, the full feature set of microtype is only supporte

This 2019 talk is so hilarious. 200 $/day with ads for apps which are so awful. Yet, the world has changed and with the advent of AI, let's see who wins: The people who churn apps out like there is no tomorrow (of course, limited

Nice to see we're getting there again and that people care about typography. Yet, the optical margin correction looks mechanistic and only concerned with symbols, not with characters: The "Y" at the start of the first line do

I agree, people often underestimate the complexity of a browser and its ecosystem. Yet, I find it valuable that people question the merit of all these additional layers, especially those added by JS frameworks. What do they yield? Do they a

I'm not a web dev, but I see a conflict between server-side HTML generation and a local-first application. ;) I think there's 2 distinct use cases here: a) a classic "web-site" that people "visit", interact wit

I also still use FreeBSD on my NAS. But after many years, the desktop experience was pretty sad and made me switch to Windows + Linux for my hardware tinkering. On one side, the lack of manpower shows in many places, unfortunately. I'm

We have a saying in German: A bad worker always blames their tools. Excel has many quirks, but I'm still very grateful that it exists, for quickly putting together some numbers and still being able to change the inputs to my formulas.

Oh, thank you for the offer! I'll pick it up again and update the PR. Haven't looked into it since then. I found the OLS, especially with the Demon Core, a really neat piece of hardware.

I don't know. My experience as a contributor to Sigrok was sad: I significantly improved a driver and wanted to upstream those changes, but was met with "well, the maintainer has little time, can you slice your changes into smalle

I don't get why the author blames bad drivers on the standby mode. I remember similar issues with S3 back then. You had to jump through many hoops on FreeBSD and Linux to make it work without draining your battery while still being abl

Modern Standby enables much faster return from Standby. You open the lid of your device and it's there. That's not the case with S3. I find it adds a lot of convenience.

No, it's not. We need less shoddy practices to develop software, e.g. mandatory 4-eyes process for security-critical changes, thread modelling, and maybe more Hardware Security Modules that encrypt critical information. And if you need

What a blast from the past. WindowMaker served me well for many years, mainly on small screens. But once I started using multi-monitor setups, I switched to i3. One thing: WindowMaker is easy to use yet full of options to customize the appe

Hmm, it's really nice that they fixed so many complaints. But honestly, reading the errata sheet, I had to chuckle that Dmitry didn't tear this chip to pieces. I mean, there's erratums about obscure edge cases, about miniscul

As somebody who has done both, there's certainly a lot of similarities in how you write software. I'm talking about real-time audio, though. There's also just audio playback (Pro Tools, e.g.) which tolerates much higher laten

Is that really what companies have to do to "trust Windows"? From my experience, it's rather driven from the need to look compliant. Thus, managers without in-depth knowledge decide to buy "endpoint security solutions&qu

Autodesk EAGLE (formerly CadSoft) has a free tier (EAGLE Free) and it's a pretty decent layout program! I made numerous layouts with the standard license when it was still owend by Cadsoft and I found it comparably easy to use. I found

It's been a pleasure to work at Ableton and to be at Loop. Gerhard as a co-founder always had an open ear, and the company deeply cared about its employees. And Robert provided valuable guidance from an artistic perspective. I think th
