Yups, I love the idea of LaTeX, LaTeX itself not so much.

I enabled it (quite intuitively) by clicking on the little cloud icon in Timeline. I didn’t need to go to settings.

Unfortunately because of the way Bitwarden works you should consider your passwords compromised when Bitwarden itself gets hacked - regardless of vault encryption. Especially if yo…

Looking at the comments and article, I almost feel like a freak for actually not minding going back to the office. My commute to the office is about a 10 mins walk - maybe that’s t…

What? I would argue that unordered_map is nearly always a reasonable choice when in need of an unordered associative container. There is nothing particular wrong with it. Not sure …

CMake as a library with bindings for various scripting languages (e.g. Python) would make a lot of sense to me. Have the power of a proper scripting language and let the CMake libr…

If these private companies are anything like Serafe I can see why this referendum ended in a no.

This might have been a nice article to read. But after reading just the first paragraph I got unclosable overlay advertisements blocking out 80% of the screen making it impossible …

This was an ultrasound machine. Philips would first have you import the data in their own QLab software and from there export a copy (which misses some of the data from the private…

All manufacturers do this indeed. The “good” data is in the private fields that can only be read by the manufacturer’s proprietary software. The fields that are open for everyone u…

For a van Gogh that would never work. No legitimate art dealer would touch it. Regardless of the amount of time in between.

Interesting fact is that Hendrik Lorentz, the Nobel prize winning physicist, did much of the calculations on how the tide would affect the structure. Based on his calculations the …

Years ago Apple bought the company, PrimeSense, that developed the technology for the first generation Kinect (the one based on IR structured light). From the description Apple gav…
