Heh…I once was in a state-level coding event (it was a small portion of a larger competition) where half of the test was turning in code on a CD during the competition, with the written half during the event. My CD was…
There are a number of utilities for this. I use jai: https://jai.scs.stanford.edu/ but also have seen nono: https://github.com/always-further/nono smolvm: https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm zerobox…
FD: I am a CMake developer. Yes, config packages are better. But I think doing find_package everywhere is better. Assuming you install an SDK for others to use your project. If you're a "product", vendor away. The issue…
> 1) There could probably be tax credits or deductions for SWEs who 'volunteer' their time to work on these projects. Why exclusive to SWEs? They tend to be more time-restricted than financial-restricted (assuming the…
I had an '89 Cherokee to 235k and sold it for ~60% of my purchse price after 6 years after garages only quoted insanity for the smallest things (Dad is a mechanic, but the commute there for repairs isn't feasible on the…
We manage Visual Studio on our CI machines using Ansible. Chocolatey installs the full Visual Studio and then we use the APIs provided to manage components via Ansible. See our action here:…
I've thought about making a "word search" and embedding the passphrase in it using a pattern (e.g., a subset of a Knight's tour, a space-filling curve overlay, or some other sampling algorithm).
Why does it always feel so black-and-white? On our projects we do rebases all the time so that topic history is clean. But we merge into the target branch(es) (our merge bot supports merging to old release branches from…
I have tried many times and I have been very unable to make any progress. In The Witness game, I ended up just guessing at the hardest whistle puzzles because remembering high/low order is very difficult at real-time…
Per-display DPI settings. No snooping on input without permission. Awareness of the lock screen (the compositor can know that the lock screen is active and provide alternate keybindings instead of having to configure…
Look into river. It has the window management and keybindings able to be offered by other tools (I have an idea to implement one using XMonad's layouts). It also vastly improved battery on my Dell Pro laptop. 58%…
I don't think so? But I've never had issues on Linux to need to bother with alternatives (as a terminal dweller, drag and drop is very rare there).
If you have projects that fit within an app, sure. I do not. The only "apps" seen on my machines are terminal windows hosting tmux processes and Firefox. Everything else is ephemeral (mpv, dialogs, rofi, dunst).…
As someone who probably has a similar setup on Linux to the author: why do you have 10 windows for an app open? For me, grouping by app is terrible. Yes, they may all be "Terminal" or "Firefox" windows, but they are for…
I know I am weird, but I detest using a MacBook trackpad. However, recently having used Asahi on one, I've found that it is the Apple software that makes it so. I find it really difficult to drag and drop (I would…
They are. If you rewrite history, you get a different hash. You can do some shenanigans with git-replace, but those are usually for stitching history across gaps (like hooking pre-publish history to public release for…
That works great for those that only use those tools. I, at least, do not and would appreciate something that doesn't care what editor I use or what forge happens to host the project.
While I also find git-annex more elegant, its cross-platform story is weaker. Note that LFS was originally a collaboration between GitHub and Bitbucket (maybe? Some forge vendor I think). One had the implementation and…
Just yesterday I had to edit something on an iPhone. I finally managed to put the cursor at the front to add a word before what was there already. But when I started typing, auto correct (or whatever) put the cursor…
I use that on Android all the time. But I feel I've only gotten it to work once or twice on iPhone. And even then the word boundaries were very "sticky" (IIRC) and precision placement still very difficult.
I also find editing on an iPhone to be an exercise in futility. Is it no longer possible to place a cursor in the middle of a word? I end up having to go to a word boundary and erase from there and retype everything.…
One big benefit of symlinks (really, "not storing it in the deployment") is that my Git repo doesn't have a bunch of hidden files in it because they can appear in the link's path rather than the repo's path. I can also…
Also gives me time to plan what I'm going to do once I get there. Or I spot a bug/relevant code snippet along the way.
I use msmtp with a tool from the oauth2-tools repo to do the rotation token dance. Need to register your own app with Google though.
IIRC, you need to run on Apple hardware for a valid SDK license. VM or Asahi or Hackintosh would suffice, but not a VM on a random Linux box. Or did the terms change lately?
