As someone who learned programming with scratch in elementary school, the next step they did was using DrRacket but honestly I did not like it. I don’t remember anything I made wit…

Scratch was how I got started in programming back in elementary school. It was taught in our computer classes. Everything this article says is spot on, the social aspect is amazing…

The robotaxi’s draw will be its lower prices. They are removing the cost of a driver from the equation. Assuming the car felt as safe as a normal taxi, I’d take the cheaper one.

I’ve had this research paper on my reading list for a while (but haven’t gotten to reading the full thing)[1]. Not necessarily just a file system but It lays out an entire operatin…

I’m not sure how one could enable others to contribute easily but just making the code open source as is would be interesting. Those with a passing interest in search engines can b…

Back in middle school we went on a trip and saw them doing the deconstruction of the elwha dam. They were around halfway done. We stood on the banks and saw the process of the rese…

I’m not sure I follow. Is your issue with Wayland that it’s not like x11 with a separate server and window manager? Someone can come along and write that in the future if that’s yo…

Seems the strategy is to eliminate as many numbers/operators before you attempt to guess. Was able to get it in 4 as by the second row I had the set of values to work with.

The missing compositor issue will change a lot I believe very soon. Wlroots[1] just recently landed their scene graph api which enables building wayland compositors with full damag…

I use bemenu ( https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu ) as my replacement for dmenu.
