It's fair to mention that DOD is not only getting the most out of the hardware. It also allows the busy work to be avoided. I caught myself a couple of times, when I wanted to make…

you're right. The problem is with my Android application. Clicking the link through the website leads to a page

I love computers. I wrote my first program in Borland C++ when I was 11. By chance, I managed at my 15 to get a job where I did some HTML pages and later some PHP programming. Maki…

I'm surprised that Vim is not on the first place here. Great TUI application. However, the about the TUI applications which I use is extensibility. For example, FZF is just a picke…

Keep working on a GUI calendar for Linux which would CLI users happy to use https://semana.alexmarkov.xyz/ . Just recently I've shaped the architecture a bit.

During the last couple of years working on Rust programs I collected a number of GDB scripts. Eventually, they evolved into the project. Also, I wrote an article about how I came u…

That's a good introduction. There is a video which I'd say complements the article. It's called "Getting pixels on screen on Linux: introduction to Kernel Mode Setting" [1] 1. http…

Recently Khal [1] released JSON interface. In short, Khal is a Linux CLI calendar application. I'm working on a proof-of-concept GUI[2] for the interface. I expect to implement typ…

The conclusion of the article says that it's not the language problem either. Under the title "So, is Go the problem?" Or do you mean something else here?
