    Some weeks ago I searched for a more general solution that doesn't depend on the compositor and doesn't need root (i.e. an xkill replacement), but I didn't find one. As a frequent …

    Under Wayland with Gnome (it's gnome-specific), I recently learned you can kill windows by using Looking Glass: // 1. Open looking glass: Alt+F2 > lg // 2. Use picker to pick windo…

    Hello. I'm just a (bad) med student and I'm not qualified to make any diagnosis, but I think the clinical picture you have reported warrants further investigations and I wanted to …

    As you can see I am a fan of both your product and the philosophy behind it, so thank you for your work. If I was interested in working just on software diagrams.net would be somew…

    I agree on the graphical editor. Before customizing it to my needs there were several behaviors that I found quite tedious. Since it may be of interest I'll add some notes. You can…

    I 'm an heavy user of diagrams to take notes while learning topics in biology and medicine. I think the most interesting feature of diagrams.net is its extensibility, which is not …

    One thing that made it difficult to me was that I didn't explicitly realize for a long time that there were two things to understand: what a monad is and why they are useful. Most …

    Here's a mybinder [1] (adapted from IJava Binder [2]) in case someone wanted to try Kawa without installing it. [1] https://mybinder.org/v2/gl/spellcard199%2Fikawa-binder/06a90... …

    In the page you linked it says the text you are quoting refers to the EPLv2, while Clojure is licensed under the EPLv1 [1]. It seems [2] they discussed changing Clojure's license t…

    If Racket had packages functionally equivalent to the ones on the JVM that I can't live without (Selenium, JGraphX, ...) I would start learning it right away. However sticking to t…

    After trying Typed Clojure, liking it, but giving it up because of Clojure's GPL-incompatible license, I got interested in Kawa Scheme because it has some rudimentary form of type …
