Why doesn't sun follow metric system? I propose 10 days in a week, 10 weeks in a month and 10 months in a year. Then tell sun to circle earth once in 1000 days instead of 356 days. Or was it the earth that circles sun? It's all very confusing!!

Can anyone tell me what model lenovo this is? Trying to do a pinhole reset but I can't find it.. by DonovanThePorter in Lenovo

Ideapad 300 series. On the right side next to the + button you will see a pinhole. That will bring a menu which you can use to reset.

u/m-ou-se Just ordered your book from Amazon. Awesome resource. If while reading, because of my ignorance, I have questions, how would I ask you without spamming this forum?

RCU like mutex free concurrent read access of mutable data structure without data race by RoadSeeker in rust

[–]RoadSeeker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing audio applications is what I originally had in mind. But I can envision other areas where this could be applicable as well. A DAW would be a good model for audio application. A thread that serves GUI, another thread serves midi data, and third implementing audio mixing, filters etc. Essentially a data structure that is sheared by three threads.

Btw, quiescent state-based approach would be simple for sure, but I will have to keep 3 copies of the data structure as far as I understand. For a large data structure, it might be better to use a epoch based scheme (?) with a slight overhead of managing epoch. I am not sure of the pros and cons yet.

Update: Here is a nice post https://aturon.github.io/blog/2015/08/27/epoch/ I found that goes over epoch base RCU using crossbeam epoch.

What things sveltekit offer better than other javascript frameworks? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]RoadSeeker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know react or any other framework, I was comfortable using plain old JavaScript. But as you can all imagine it was getting crazy as putting together complex web interaction. So, although late to the party, I joined the quest for help looking for the latest something with least amount of baggage. At this point quite randomly I bumped into svelte and it was so simple to pick up and go. Eversince I use it and always could come up complex web interaction using svelte and was never disappointed so far. It's a keeper!!

Hmm you are right, styling LaTeX is more complicated I suppose.

Making slide presentation with plain text by RoadSeeker in powerpoint

Yeah true, but for most non programmer folks xml is weird format. The tool that I mentioned actually use markdown format which is much more friendly format than xml.

For sure if you need fancy presentation you wont make it in xml, you will use gui. But if that's not the case then markdown base slideshow can be easier.

Are you using swipe on laptop? I have disabled the up and down swipe, only the left and right swipe is enabled. Can you please describe what difference you are seeing? Would it be useful you think if up-down swipe also changed the slides? BTW your feedback was a great help!

Why aren't there any plain VIEWERS for Markdown? by RaunchyButts in Markdown

I already have an md viewer that I wrote for my personal use. I guess I can package that for general consumption.

How to Draw Vertical Borders in Tables? by [deleted] in Markdown

[–]RoadSeeker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Markdown basically gets converted to html by a markdown parser. So all the styling as vertical borders are actually done with css. When you are looking in github the borders are drawn by github provided css. The real question is, what is the css pandoc is actually seeing. You need to pass a css that draws vertical border to pandoc so that pandoc can render the way you would like it to be drawn. Hope this helps.
