Viewing profile — ensmotko

Wouldn't then a hash of your email also identify you as a person? The companies can still build a profile of you if they just agree to use the same hashing function :/

In my experience (I've been to FOSDEM 3 times) the language rooms were the most difficult ones to get into as they were full 90% of the time. It also looks like Python has a main t…

Is it possible to rebind the caps lock key? That's the only reason why I have Karabiner-Elements installed, using the caps lock key for delete_forward is the best thing ever.

Remapping the caps lock key to the delete key (delete the character in front of the cursor) has been a great productivity boost for me. Below is the karabiner.json file that I'm us…

Aye, I did cherry pick a bit, sorry about that. But still, if you go to Brendan Eich's wiki page [0], it says that he wanted to put Scheme in the browser, but was commissioned to c…

To be fair, JavaScript started out as a language that looks like Java. "JavaScript was designed with Java's syntax and standard library in mind. In particular, all Java keywords we…

Check out phk's fosdem talk[0]. I've linked to the the part where he talks about openSSL, but I'd suggest watching the whole thing. I'm now starting to believe the talk wasn't a jo…

This is really amazing, but I'd throw in an oculus rift for a true out of body experience.

Might be because lots of us are not using a CMS. For a simple blog page you don't even need a backend - just generate static sites with jekyll. Having a 3rd party solution for comm…

My custom Google+ URL is http://google.com/+AnžePečar even though typing letters with diacritics is nearly impossible on 99% of the keyboards out there. I should have kept the rand…

G-Sync syncs the monitors refresh rate with the FPS your graphics card is feeding the monitor - thus removing screen tearing and other anomalies that happen when the refresh rates …

I have an older 3xxx card as well and enabling DPM noticeably reduced work temperatures. I'd say the temperature levels with DPM enabled are similar to using fglrx propriety driver…

I wait for the jobs to find me. It takes some extra work, but I think it's worth it.

Steam for Linux (beta) was released for all users on December 20 2012 [1]. [1] http://store.steampowered.com/news/9638/

Have you tried enabling DPM [1]? This feature was added in 3.11, but it's not enabled by default. You need to set a kernel parameter to make it work (radeon.dpm=1 in your grub conf…
