@Haxk20 Frankly, this is my bedtime. Today was exception that I was so late. Good night.

@Haxk20 Czech. You?

@Ubergeek My experience with Windows is rather unbalanced. I am working on Windows at work, Linux at home (but for CAD I have VM there as well). But what grinds my gear is for example inability of system to remember where that bloody bar should be - it just defaults to bottom edge on one of my monitors after reconnecting to docking station. Or windows itself are misplaced instead getting back where they was before. Whole Windows Store thing works eventually but it reports 0% and calculating for eternity and then it is suddenly done. This kind of stuff. Not mentioning inability to get to home directory differently than thru c://users...

Not entirely true. while(1); will not create stack overflow, this does. And in my case it was in embedded Cortex-M so it happily ended in HardFault after stack overflow without any trace.
Yes, it is obvious once you notice it but tracing it takes a while. -
@prvInSpace Good point and perfectly true. And although I am preferring 1TBS, original K&R is still makes more sense to me than Allman...
-
Thank you DevRant for removing whitespaces...
-
In that case I am fluent with 4 languages and pretty advanced in about 5 more...?
-
@Linux I even tweeted that to them it looks like swastika, but no response so far...

You are nuts... get some sleep man...

@taigrr thanks man!

Programmers are still going to bookstore for books about programming? Weird...
What I can see is, that our non-official engineering library is stuck somewhere around 2010 to 2014, depending on the topic. Myself was in bookstore recently for Discworld (I like paper, you know) but last time I was for some programming book was in 2009. And I must say that most of them were full of errors. Yes, there were erratas on publishers website but it was like 4 A4 pages filled with tiny text full of errors. So since then I read official docs, Stack Overflow, Server Fault, blogs etc. It's still full of errors but it's usually more up-to-date and I am not spending money for that.
Frankly speaking, I would be really happy to see e-books with error fixing guarantee. You know, you download e-book and if there is new edition, you just download it without next payment. That would be nice. But until then, programming books are dead to me. -
That's fine. Go up with temperatures little bit, add soldering flux and try again.

It's simple: they are loosing customers for GitLab which allows that. If I recall correctly, GitLab has unlimited private repositories but limited number of public so I believe GitHub will follow that model.

@ganjaman Java is fine as long as it works. I spent 2 years with Java bug in Gnome which made apps at full screen unusable. Two years was time between report and fix. It is not my idea of healthy ecosystem. And I believe JavaFx uses same UI components. But java is cool for backed though.
Webapp has one problem: working offline. My requirement is full operation offline no matter what. Only piece online would be syncing. That is reason for bundling it to electron.
I wouldn't dare to use Python in end user application but Qt is nice. It just has some 'special needs' sometimes... -
I perfectly understand why there is such hate on electron but what you want to use for multiplatform app development with exotic UI? I mean if you don't want to look native for whatever reason... only thing crossing my mind is Qt and even there you will spend lot of time to get it working on Windows, Mac and Linux properly.
If somebody has an suggestion, I'll be glad to hear it because honestly, I don't know the answer. -
My favourite in this way is trimming white spaces from string (trim vs strip) - I never get it right on first try...

Ok, 2 years back... https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php...

I started with Ubuntu and ended with Debian Stable and later on with Testing. For me it was because of rolling updates philosophy which suited me better than Ubuntu's. But now Ubuntu have rolling updates as well so I think it's more about taste, really.

I just read whole thread and it seems to me that black PLA is just wet. Put it to fruit dryer for min 4 hours at 40 to 60 degrees Celsius and try again after that.
Black color is usually lot different because of coloring process - it uses soot for black - and result is rather gooey.
Good luck. -
I ended 3 years back... It was nice to be there when Enigma was broken but since I have to pay for electricity, it is not worth enough to keep it running 24/7...
-
Mine first and last ever received is 8.10. But it all started with some RedHat Linux from Chip magazine. It booted to shell and you have to start KDE and X by hand if you wanted... What a time to be alive todsy where nrarly all works out of box.
-
@D3add3d Good to know. I'll investigate further why they are claiming that, but this is definitely good guess.
-
@Fjord Oh, cool. Didn't noticed that. Thanks for info.
-
@Fjord I actually did that just like you said. Tmux+vim+makefile for latex. And still I see that as fastest approach to be honest.
Online tools are cool, no argue there and definitely best for collaboration but it's online, therefore not so cool when writing on train with rather poor connectivity.
Graphical LaTex editors seemed to me always to clumsy in comparison to actual writing LaTex. And use them only for writing and looking for output had no benefits for me since I am used to vim (and my bunch of addons) and tmux workflow.
I am always following rule of thumb for decision what to use: Is it long document OR Is there lots of cross referencing OR Shall it be maintainable after one year or more? Use LaTex if possible. For short and simple ones (generally quickly write something and send it somewhere), use Writer (or Word). But that missing choice pisses me off sometimes. -
@Fjord It reminds me ShareLaTex back in my college days... Awesome tool for collaboration in LaTex.

@Scade WS2812B-Mini was not following own timing spec for reset pulse. Second problem was that reset pulse generation was badly written in library I reused so it was perfectly within spec but not possible to change it. But that was minor problem.
-
I laughed from heart at that. Thank you good sir!

Love that❤! Cardboard FTW!

Hell no! It's deserved time to rest.
