For C++ projects I use a language server to jump around within Emacs. For a Linux kernel which is my day job, I just use git grep, since I couldn't make the language server work ac…

I'm missing s390x.

But there is a global timeline. The age of the universe itself. It happened when the universe was roughly 300M years younger. Somebody might say the universe was created a year ago…

That looks like a misspelling of "Immortel" to me

Well, if you never compare A to B, you won't believe it for sure. :-/

That angle of view corresponds to a lens with 588mm focal length on a full frame camera (horizontally), and 392mm (vertically). Funny that astronomers and photographers mean very d…

I don't remember using PGO like ever. And even if you do use it, isn't it like breaking compilation into two phases that are themselves deterministic? It is pretty useful picture i…

He probably meant that a compiler is a pure function for a given source file and a set of flags. Of course, if you change a compiler or flags, you can get something radically diffe…

Yes. Namespaces good. Escape sequences good. Terse syntax good. As long as it's not rare and obscure good. :-)

Well, they are closely related. Which is unfortunate for C++ because it can never free itself from all the C legacy basement.

GNOME doesn't certainly offer that. Maybe, it's just me. But I was unable to handle more than 3 windows at the time. Escaped to sway to solve it.

It seems to me that it's comparing apples and oranges. I use Instagram because everybody else uses Instagram. I use Flickr, because I'm into photography and I don't mean Iphone or …

Yes. People keep repeating this and while it is a real problem for some designs, most professional cameras allow to bypass it with a remote trigger, often an official one. Besides …

I understand the business decisions. But, what you are suggesting is already kinda happening with mobile phones. They have shitty sensors, but software ecosystem that can thrive ar…

First, I'm not complaining about 5Dm2. I use magic lantern on it and I'm happy with it. It does what I want. I'm just sad that unpaid enthusiast must provide functionality that sho…

I have done 30 minutes exposures with digital (5D mark II and magic lantern) with very little noise, so I doubt sensor heat is the problem. Try to bump ISO and you got so much more…

I have Lumix S1. It has gazillion of features, but, for example, the exposure duration is limited to 1 minute. :-(

It's all fancy shit. But guess what. My 35mm camera from eighties has command back with intervalometer. I can say stuff like in 10 minutes do an hour long exposure directly on the …
