At least in Debian (Trixie), I have a list in: /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
That is a recipe for pain too: menus shouldn't be morphing as the user is trying to choose an option.
I'm probably pretty far out on the normal mobile user curve: my phone is primarily used for phone calls along with some texting and I don't even have a data plan. I would suspect many mobile users would be faster than…
I used a Blackberry Classic up until last year when my provider dropped 3G coverage. It's probably a good thing as I never got phone addiction since the browser was unusable and didn't have the apps. I did get in the…
$10K seems like a generous donation to me: good on them for making one. You can’t complain about the amount because you don't know what other donations they make. I would rather see $10K donations made to a bunch of…
It sounds like the parent comment was referring to geological timescales. In that case, the 16th century would count as recent.
We are starting to offer a new product for this for small business/startups. It is still pretty early and we're just starting to expand into the US, but it is something (https://nucleus.com/).
I have one: 2008 Nissan Altima
The first day of this reminds me of how impressive the asynchronous and concurrent features of Raku are. I really need to start using it for the odd project.
I do use it on shift cables and derailleur mechanisms. Mostly because I haven't figured out anything that is a better solution.
Yes, that is probably true: I have kept a minimum balance ever since opening the bank account so I am not really familiar with how it all works. I have heard the horror stories though about how the bank will order the…
There are a lot of free options: even more if you consider ones that require a minimum balance. The paid ones though are typically $10-15. Where they really get you though is in service fees. If you overdraft or do any…
Most people just open the windows for that use case: a whole house fan can be used for making the air exchange faster through.
Those junkyards are getting few and far between because of liability insurance costs. Now the parts have to be ordered and pulled off for you, which makes it uneconomical for low value parts. Often, just the high value…
The Accenture software outsourcing debacle was probably a big contributing factor to the Hertz bankruptcy too.
Yes, new models typically start being available around September: I always thought it was absurd too as a kid growing up, but it makes sense when you consider that competitive marketing pressures would drive…
I don’t speak French either but I like the etymological sense that Superior school means Post-Secondary/College better than the English version. It seems like a logical and efficient way to get the meaning across.
There is a paywall on the WSJ article linked from this: https://archive.is/uvaPg It is amazing how even simple things can become difficult when you lose an ability. I recently had a hand injury and it became almost…
That is an interesting thought: although, it is something that non-native speakers struggle with when learning a new language. I wonder if that is a factor when learning a new computer language/concept too. I suspect it…
Although, if you are performing serious work loads like that, why not just take the 10s to plug in the Ethernet cable? It seems like for these use cases you already would be using the laptop with the power cable hooked…
I could see farm equipment as a great use case for swappable battery packs. There are loaders readily available for lifting them into place and they could be made easy to access as the equipment does not need to be…
Slackware: Plasma 5 was just moved from testing this week in Current (for the upcoming Slackware 15).
Back then there was no memory vs speed tradeoff as the constraint is to minimize memory. It makes sense when you realize it has to be as simple as possible: there is no memory budget for the code or data structures to…
> I really can't see any other way they could do it without creating some kind of proprietary YouTube client. The next step is probably go with Widevine: but YouTube probably doesn’t want to go there unless it has to.
That is pretty common: smokers are already acclimatized to low oxygen, so they cope well with the altitude. Not that I would suggest taking up smoking to go on a mountain hike.
