Works perfectly fine with firefox snap ubuntu 152.0.4. I can select mic from one web cam and image from another. Is there somewhere a technical description of how they have used AP…

It is an Azure (and WSL) specific Linux based on a general-purpose Linux (fedora). Having this general-purpose foundation will give access to many packages.

My first job in 1994 was using RDB, very soon updated to RDB-Oracle 6 that was very compliant with my book about sql 92. I learned SQL during my studies, so my queries based on joi…

I think the current intellectual property system is flawed. Books are knowledge, and we shouldn't be able to limit the spread of knowledge. I imagine that books could be sold at th…

IMHO, Ubuntu is trying to gain market share by targeting non-experts — making Linux simple enough for normies and casual users. Casual users are generally less likely to mess thing…

I think power users are not the main target of Ubuntu. I have put my parents on Ubuntu (gnome) in 2013 to replace windows XP. My mother is 88 now. I think it is the perfect fit for…

I suggest if a.abs()+b.abs() >= (a-b).abs() * 2f64.powi(48) It remains accurate for small and for big numbers. 48 is slightly less than 52.

I was student between 1990 and 1993 and Ada was the main language. Compilation speed was not an issue. I remember that Eiffel was very slow to compile, but not Ada. Between 1994 an…

I have 1 "big" xsl file in a project I maintain. I have fixed an issue this year. I have tried to use chatgpt prompt. The scope was perfect: I had the buggy xsl, the buggy result, …

I think that Marissa Meyer had given yahoo back a bit of its lustre. That meant cutting dividends in favour of investment. Restoring a reputation takes time. I stopped taking an in…

IMHO, indieweb has not taken off because web hosting was dirt cheap and an internet subscription with a good upload was awfully expensive. Nowadays, the balance has changed and it …
