Care to elaborate? what kind of headaches? (I've been using Linux exclusively for the past 15 years and first thought about going back to Windows because of Surface and WSL)

This! I'm all glad about going back to GNOME and Wayland, but I really hoped Canonical was strong enough to put up a new mobile OS, even if just as a small player. It takes so much time (and money) to do so, and if even Canonical can&#

In what way? IMHO window managers is something Linux excels in. What does macOS has in its window manager that Linux lacks? (other than "no you can't maximise easily" feature...)

And still no support for <input type="date"> . I just can't believe Firefox is behind Edge on this one. I'm using Firefox as main browser for years now, and it feels so bad when I always need to use a polyfill when

Many parts of trucks and buses are air operated. I have a small bus (converted to a little house-on-wheels) and air pressure is needed for the breaks to work, doors to stay closed etc etc. While I can understand why we use it for breaks, wh

I'm a Zsh user who tried xon.sh for 3 months now and reverted to Zsh just a few days ago. Performance. I easily have ~20 shell instances running (under tmux), and having each one of them run python simply slowed down my computer. I got

AFAIK the problem was with the database and not the with the repos. So yeah, I have all my files on my machines, but I don't have any copy of the issues, merge requests, wiki pages etc'.

Looks like a useful tool, but I kinda wish this kind of programs had a CLI. It seems to be doing one main thing (searching), and it could be super useful to be able to pipe the results to a downloading program. Some programs can benefit vas

That it won't become a universal entitlement as it is - that's pretty easy to predict. Question is whether Finland (and the rest of us) could learn from this experiment and make our current system better using the knowledge we gai

While I agree with his general idea that Electron is usually not the best tool for the job, I think he's overestimating JS as the reason that people choose Electron. It's not because of JS, it's because of HTML and CSS, which

Looking at other stuff on this guy's website, he seems to be one of the most creative persons I've ever heard of. Amazing stuff there.

So we had Jolla, Ubuntu, Mozilla and even Microsoft trying to create a new major player in the mobile OSs market - all pretty much failed to do so. Is it practically impossible? Are we stuck with Android and iOS forever? This tiny selection

Seems like this extension stores all the data locally, so it's probably much less of a problem.

I never had the urge to rewrite the history of my code until I started using CI & CD. Since then, it happened to me few times that I wanted to fix something small and ended up trying multiple times, pushing a new "maybe this time?!

I think many of the copy-protection systems during the times of CDs & VHS were made exactly to prevent you from _sharing_ content with your friends & neighbors. I remember times when you couldn't use your own VHS to record tele

I have to admit I always thought of that as an advantage of tabs, since they allow the viewer to set how much to indent the code, and doesn't force anyone to adapt to someone else's preferred style. I like it when a tab = 4 spaces
949.
by yoavm 10y ago
This is interesting. Why do we use spaces anyway? I mean, really - what are the advantages spaces have over tabs? (I use spaces only because I try to follow common coding styles, like PEP 8, but I never gave it enough thought)

Personally I find it very odd. I've been a Linux-only user for the past 13 years, and Windows 10 was the first time I actually considered trying Windows as my main OS. I guess our metrics are different.

what about @reboot ?

I wonder how Microsoft managed to implement the Linux ABI all of sudden, while Wine has been developed for more than 20 years and yet it's still very hard to run most modern Windows software using it. Note this isn't a rant by any

D3 has the reputation of being super-complicated because of all the libraries that are based on it, "simplifying" it so that everyone can use it. In the past year I wanted to create pretty unique type of data visualisation, so I d

Up until recently I never even considered using CI in my projects because I just didn't have the time. The way GitLab are implementing all these tools makes it not only easy to use, but fun.
