It's also a completely useless feature in the chip without the ability to setup arbitrary keys at boot time. This is the worst DRM incantation ever. I expect AMD to clean up Intel'…

I live close to switzerland's borders, and it's incredible the disparity in terms of salary/cost of living between switzerland and all it's neighbors. I do not consider myself poor…

Approaches similar to unexec() are quite common in lisp-like environments, so emacs doesn't come as a "surprise" here. There's no reason emacs needs to use the glibc's malloc imple…

By Widget I mean any object which is a QWidget and is bound by some other widget (so I do not count plain QObjects) that you need for your UI. ListViews are optimized for display o…

If you have a classical desktop interface where you reach 100+ widgets (which sounds like a lot but is easily reachable with just a toolbar, some buttons and a form), the differenc…

Read their own introduction page. CopperSpice is a fork of Qt4.

Yes sorry, typo (fixed).

Note that C++ has "extern C" for the same purpose, and many people do not seem to be aware of it. You can perfectly write a C++ library and expose a C-safe subset. I've done so man…

I wished Qt just split into a different widget set for mobile. The interaction behavior is significantly different that attempting to reuse the same UI for both mobile and desktop …

Easy: just provide a certificate that cannot be changed within FF (must be modified by changing a file in the installation directory). No preference needed. This would allow develo…

Add-On Signing which can be automated does provide very little added security for the user, and just serves as a big pain the butt for everyone else involved. I'm routinely questio…

... or, you could ask everybody to walk, thereby "quadrupling" the effective capacity. I've been in UK many times, and being able to effectively walk up all escalators due to the d…

Have you have ever used the "flex" nib? I wonder if anyone found some "use" out of it that couldn't be done by just pressure feel adjustment.

I do, yes. But the translator needs to be aware of the extra indirection to produce the text he needs, and between a custom layer and a standard formatting syntax, the second is de…

Do you have direct experience with it? Any improvements in the tracking quality of slow lines?

There's not much difference. In fact, you cannot expect translators to know how the underlying object is handled or write data extractor out of the file object. If translators are …

There's also twisting (yes, it's a true 5 axis). But you have to buy the more expensive "art pen". See: https://www.wacom.com/en-us/store/pens/art-pen Notably, some pens support ad…

you have both roll and pitch.

It's awesome, but if it weren't for patents, we would have pens on every device with a touch screen now. I use wacom styluses for work, and mind, they're egregiously fine, but waco…

Can you clarify the last point? I do not get it. Can you make an example of where an extra indirect mechanism (besides interpolation) is _required_ for translation? I generally loc…

It's not much about language, it's mostly about code/ecosystem re-use (that is: if you have a library available in system X and you're writing for Y you can still take advantage of…

The data that goes into the plot is unrelated to it's visual complexity. The "problem" is that ggplot also takes care of the transformation/reduction step for you. For example, a K…

"python-bond" also came out in 2015: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bond allows a simple interface between python runtimes and php/perl/nodejs.

Anyone that have been using schema after using 'rx' ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Rx/ )? I generally like the simplicity of Rx and the fact that's language agnostic (I've used it …

My biggest problem with ggplot is that it's slow, unbearably slow. It also enforces all data to be realized into a single dataframe, which is true only for small (as is: fits in me…
