Author of libgrapheme here: Both collation and normalisation are non-trivial and have many gotchas thanks to the way the Unicode consortium likes to write their specifications. I s…

Thanks for your work on packaging my library. Please let me know if I can make the process simpler for you; I take great care to make packaging as simple as possible for the packag…

Thanks for recommending libgrapheme. I am honoured, being the author of this library.

Thank you! I'm using just an editor and the terminal, nothing fancy. :)

This guy is a sheep of the medical system and has already given up just because his treatment stopped working as the doctors told him. Our society and food make us sick, our doctor…

Look at sndio if you want to see how sound should be done. Excusing the horrible mess pulseaudio is with the horrible state of Linux Audio doesn't cut it, when OpenBSD has been off…

When I saw the new Ghostbusters trailer in the cinema (yes, I still go there), I thought it was a parody film. I'm not kidding. Nowadays, people always try to find ways to be offen…

Exactly. The mess glibc is is giving C a bad name. Look at the musl libc for how it should be done.

LFTR's are very safe, but the current technical challenge is actually building containments that can handle heat + flouride salts. The tritium formed during the nuclear reactions i…

Now we can at least explain with code examples why Electronic Arts Games suck so much.

Using the term "net worth" already uncovers the fact that you are a business rat. Let the real engineers do the work and stop stealing their guts. All those business school people …

I totally agree with you my friend. Same applies to companies literally hoarding lawyers and economists. I don't understand that they do not realize these people bring no benefit t…

When it gets hot, the FED prints money (they call it quantitative easing) (for 5-year-olds: throw money at the problem). Look at 2008, where they ramped up the money stock like cra…
