I always do it. Getting thrown into another website forces you to switch context entirely, and also is a privacy and security right of the user to know they are going to be moved somewhere else.

I dont know how these work, but why do they never use kiosk for these? They boot up a whole operating system with everything just to loop a video?

Movim is also an option. Based on XAMPP.

Well... I am a very hairy nerdy guy. What does the collaboration workflow look like? The end result should be simple because my teammates aren't hairy nerdy guys :))

Thank you! Sorry for the cloud error, the server's origin website is hosted in my country Iran, which is currently in a semi-blackout and very bad internet distruptions. Very sad.

You might see the blog if you try a couple times more, I can see it with most VPNs.

I completely agree with your points. I'm stating the same sentiment in the blog.

I prefer GUIs for two things:

  1. Things that are inherently graphical (gimp, blender, etc)
  2. Things that I don't use very often, and the GUI is too simple to be bothered with a cli.

More power to you, share your experience

Nobody likes to talk about how almost everything is blocked from Iran. Not just as of late, but for years.

sanctioning intellectual resources and knowledge really must be illegal. I can understand it for proprietary things. But FOSS stuff being unavailable? That is pure hypocrisie.

This is quite vague to be honest. What does it do?

[-] somegeek@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

Ooh thanks! I was really looking to forward to such additions!

[-] somegeek@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

Totally agreed!

[-] somegeek@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago

Exactly. I'm on the exact same boat, the blog post is the proof! :D

Yeah browsers are the main GUI I use. w3m is great for reading blogs and those types of things but like you say, not the best experience for most things. And we can't really blame it on them, the modern web is horribly written most of the time.

Not that this is the most important metric. I'm not even sure if his numbers are correct. But interesting nontheless.

I can vouch for Clojure's conciseness.

Hi guys.

I just did day1 of 2024 (I know, I'm late) this might be a dumb question but I reallydont understand why we should sort the two lists before substracting? I created some test cases with 10-20 items and calculated them manually, if you don't sort the list and just add all list1 items and substract from the sum of list2, you get the same answer. But it doesn't work with the large input file.

Let's say list1 has elements (a,b,c,d) and list2 has (e,f,g,h).

(a-e)+(b-f)+(c-g)+(d-h) = a-e+b-f+c-g+d-h = (a+b+c+d)-(e+f+g+h)

So the sorting shouldn't matter. Right? But it does. Am I too bad at basic math?

Please share your tips and tricks with me. I would love to hear them and use them.

Hi Redshift isn't maintained anymore and lately redshift-gtk doesnt start anymore (something about a python circular dependancy).

What should we use?

Hi guys.

I have an android head unit for my car that only manages multimedia, navigation and stuff. it also has multiple physical buttons and knobs. It’s offbrand so can name the particular brand or model.

can I for example upgrade the OS?
