you'll be distracted by your eternally changing .emacs configuration file :-)

I've been using it a bit but it still not on par with, well, vscode. It tends to be a bit slow on big files (say 10000+ lines) when you open type an fstring in python such as 'print(f"p={' once the open accolade is typed

Approximately 0.0% of the users actually produce those programs. And yet, we got those programs...

Yup. With Linux I don't get bullied to install their stuff. But you'll say "but you get bugs, less mature desktop environment" (just one point of my daily usage). Yeah sure, but instead of complaining about being bullied

I know you're doing a lot of great work, I'm following Julia rather closely. It's just that as of now, it's not easy enough to grasp to make quick tests at work (I'd have some use there, but I have to be on schedule

A bit OT but what is Julia's adoption rate nowadays ? I know there are people who thinks it's the best, others thinks it's not going to cut it, but well.. In your experience ? (my experience is: a little too slow to load, typ

I think this will come (and already does) from the libraries. They abstract a lot of the hard-to-get-right details for you. For the rest, I guess the BC comes out of a limitation of the language to express things correctly only. So to remov

FrontLine Assembly's Mindphaser clip was a big rip of this movie ! And what a clip it was !

Exactly. I wanted to code an emulator and said "why not rust". Then I met the BC and pulled hairs for 3 months. After that "honeymoon" with rust, I got to think the b.c. way and my life became just much better. No regret

Ah Norton Commander... I was wondering if someone would pop up the father of them all... Fond memories of that blue screen :-)

I thought for a second that I'd see 3D animation of knots and thought "that'd be a cool math program to do: one that can animate a knot construction"...

This 1000X ! I'm currently working on emulating the Apple 2+ speaker better. It's been a 2-3 spare time hours a week for about a year now :-) But the joy of working on a machine that's part of your life, without the need to p

yeah, now you say it, I think it were some CD's containing a copy of the TSX archive. Installing from that source was like playing Quake in nightmare mode :-) Took me months to get the sound working :-)

I was thinking about 2D filtering. But your comment triggered a new DuckDuckGo search and it happened to have some bits of information :-) https://www.extron.com/article/ntscdb4

Not entirely related but I didn't find much information about the NTSC/PAL decoding schemes. Lots of introductory material but nothing about what they actually did in televisions back then (especially the filtering side). I guess

Sometimes I want to buy a PinePhone. Do you mean that one can't send SMS, place phone calls, browse the web, read (not write) emails without a keyboard ? (these four are 99% of my phone usage).

Started with the TSX distro about 30 years ago then RedHat then Suse then, 25 years ago, Debian. Never looked back.

The opposite is no good. I had 1 or 2 opportunities which a lot of people of my age were looking at with envy. I was not super gifted but they came out of passion: by working on the things I loved relentlessy, I ended up being noticed. I wa

Rust bindings!!! pleeeeze ! Very impressive performances. I'd be happy to have a comparison with regular CPU performances... If you put together the GPU time + GPU upload & download, is it faster than CPU overall ?
