There is a (similar?) effort that takes inspiration from dwm: https://github.com/prabirshrestha/dwm-win32 Maybe you can take inspiration from one another... I'm really tempted to t…

One of the recent features I most love in Gimp is "/" to search through the commands. (More and more graphics programs are adopting it.) Once you're used to it, you can create the …

In my eyes, vi is ok for system administration, but not for programming. The differences are not huge, but even if I have a "small" .vimrc with one single plugin, I have issues usi…

My personal answer: I'm touch typing. I can do so without looking at the screen. While I'm typing, I can think of what I want to say next. At least to some degree. Vim helps me to …

for those who slept in, 05.05.2020 is coming soon... the mirrored day...

no, i've only tried it out for myself: https://github.com/CoderDojoZH/resources/blob/master/cards-p... i really liked it, but i don't consider it a mature product i would use "in p…

- our cards are here: https://github.com/CoderDojoZH/resources/tree/master/cards-p... - harder as in scratch? it's about this scratch and this game: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios…

i've skimmed through it: very nice book! one thought: after having read your introduction for the teachers, i wonder why you did not "sort it" the other way round: first the hands …

you might want to have a look at python play: https://github.com/replit/play the same goal as pygame zero but with a very different approach. and no WIDTH and HEIGHT variables...

in my experience, pygame zero works well with 10 - 14 year kids. i run a coderdojo and we have developed a system of cards that helps the kids creating a pong game with pygame zero…

It does work on my older xps 13... Just slap three fingers on the pad. But it's not 100% reliable. When I'm not using a mouse, I mostly prefer shift-ins... since the hand is alread…

That's not true. Mozilla did not want (even slightly) modified versions of Firefox or Thunderbird to be labelled as such. The issue has been solved and, currently, Debian has renam…

mypaint ( http://mypaint.org ) is like krita but for the hobby painters...

So nicely inspired by this thread /me is trying to create his first Atom package...

I'm looking for a solution for creating short and clean screen casts for teaching programming. I want to be able to prepare my scripts in advance and then play them when recording …

IANAT (... i am not a theologian... but i've been surrounded by them for almost all my life) > "there is no Catholic God, there is just one God" I've been told that this is one of …

it depends on what you want to do... but my general reflex is: - go to line 3 - start recording a temporary macro ("qq" in my habits) - do the editing - stop the macro ("q") - go t…

Wordpress is 14 years old. It's probably a good reference project, when talking about maintenance (nightmares).

As far as i know it's (very) hard to do correctly. There are (small or big) differences among languages and it is not always obvious to detect ,if the quote should be converted at …

what about opening a ticket / doing a pull request with a better trivial example that does not "teach" bad habits?

indeed, there is one thing i don't understand: why $class and not metaclass...

He probably does not need a visa (that's the case if one has a biometric passport)

For a 8 year old, Löve might be a bit hard. At our weekly CoderDojo in Zurich, we're using love2d (and processing) as the next step for the kids that over 10 years and who are comf…
