WordPerfect really was an outstanding word processor. Reveal codes (like many others here have pointed out) made "debuging" formatting issues relatively painless as was the "make it fit to a certain layout or size" feat

Hi Andreas, First, thanks for this project and making your self accessible! Will "plug-in" or "add-on" support be a first-party concept in Ladybird? I ask that because in years past a few other browsers (Konqueror, Falko

This whole thread got me to go back and see what else is out there and I remembered there's another (potentially) saner choice: Fossil : https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki I h

What display are you using? 120 Hz LCD with shutter glasses? I assume a Quadro video card with the 3-pin stereo output connector.

I can't say I was front and center to everything happening, but I always thought it was strange that Linux used Bitkeeper which is very not open-source. So many battles have been fought around Linux and GPL that this seemed a bit hypo

A version control tool shouldn't take YEARS of usage to be productive, to me that's a red flag. Some engineering tools are just complex because what we're doing might need that flexability so the tools provide a myraid of op

Mercurial if you're not on a huge code base. While the core command-line hg works great, GUIs and third-party programs are kind of lacking. Atlassian Sourcetree in theory works with Hg (because Atlassian's Bitbucket used Mercuria

100% agree. The fact there are 5 different ways to do the same thing is BAD, not good. Have one well defined, documented clear way to solve a problem.

Yes. Because git was created by Linus Torvalds specifically to enable and advance Linux kernel development. The fact it has become so widly adopted is a "happy accident" (or misery). Github I think has been widely credited with

Probably like most people here you end up with a collection of tools, so glad Kate exists and really appreciate the high quality and amazing features. Years past you'd have to pay for things like UltraEdit and fight licenses, etc whic

I've been using Kate on macOS and Windows for sometime and it's outstanding this is possible (a cross-platform KDE app). Kate of course on Linux kicks ass as well. One stupid question: Is anyone aware of how to change the UI &qu

Well, Most Hollywood effects were all done on SGI systems before the slow migration to Linux. Renderman, Maya, were all SGI first-party programs. Also SGI made huge advances in NUMA and machines with dozens of CPUs/processors before m

I believe nVidia was started with a lot of SGI's core technology ; not "I have a good idea and I can't do it here" and more like "let me just take this stuff I doubt anyone will notice". I think SGI sued but d

Wow, Madge! I once deployed Madge PCI Token ring NICs. Worked damn well.

This reeks of a situation where the people in the management position(s) really aren't the right people for the job and having a logical discussion or trying to explain how or why something should be done differently falls on deaf ears

Normally I'd agree with you, the exception is if you're the poor "schmuck" that has to deal with the aftermath of said opinions or decisions. I don't know about other developers & engineers but I've already

I didn't remember what the IrfanView license was/is but IrfanView is not cross-platform which is what I was responding to with an alternative.

In my experience its's less about caring what people specifically think of you, and more about how you are treated in whatever team you're on. Example: I made a trade from a key role to a dev role in one job change. In dev role

Very possible outcome for OP too. The weakest part is usually the human factor and the need to bucket someone into a few categories like "rock star" or "loser" or "slightly better than unskilled labor" or &quot

As much of a non-answer as this might seem, it will really come down to the people in your team and your new management which you won't really find out until the interviews and more realistically only when you're actually working

Sadly, this is more of MSFT's "we can do what Apple does too!". For a "business" oriented portable why is it so limited on ports? No wired Ethernet? As many others have pointed out, why are the 3D graphics so hobb

I'm not the parent-level poster but I've stood-up a Mattermost instance a few times and it's really easy to get going and is good for a text-IM/DM channel/group service. The desktop app or web-based interface work

Really great project, just wish nested tasks or sub-tasks was easier to interact with.

You're right on the QML ; I'll admit I didn't look super hard, I was under the impression QML eventually compiled down but maybe there's some interpreter-type event loop implementation that results in a slower than expec

Same. I was using SailfishOS on Xperia devices and also Ubuntu Touch. I found SailfishOS UI to be pretty bizarre and for using compiled software (Qt) the UI was oddly laggy. Basic things like attaching photos when sending an MMS were biza
