I am somewhat of an edge case My left hands fingers are way more flexible and nimble than my right hand, even though I'm right dominant. I do basically all typing with all my left hand's 5 f…

I agree no one uses devices for long. But as a pedantic N=1... I use a computer from around 2011-13.. can't quite remember. Added a stick of RAM(it came with 4gb), and changed the HDD to an SDD, …

Exactly. Especially the music thing. Today video content is the opposite of easy to stream. Even though I have an Amazon prime subscription, I pirate the show (telegram) and watch it on VLC full 1080p…

Nice. I remember thinking of doing something like this when I was much much more of a novice. I wrote a WhatsApp message parser and thought of doing this with the parsed messages. Unfortunately I knew…

What core feature exactly is it missing? Of course, it is a completely different featureset when compared to a tiling window manager, and Ive used those as well - they really do give you superpowers, …

Recently I've really liked Vue's composition API. The whole business of refs, emits being the only thing you need is really nice. Not too much to learn. JSX is there too - the old Vue API wa…

XFCE is great. Zero bullshit. Zero bloat. Works great with everything. Nothing breaks. Simple, easy, customisation.

Normally, languages implement SIMD compilation for a specific set of data types/structures and even then you have to really make sure to ask the compiler nicely. Julia is able to vectorize any ge…

I like XFCE a lot. It's really great especially if you're one who uses the browser for a lot of stuff, and don't care about Wayland. I install arch from scratch. Arc dark gtk theme. XFC…
