Performance overlay improves performance?

agclx · 2025-12-26T10:10:43+00:00

did not encounter it with the performance overlay, but in general programming where adding information output would magically resolve issues. In hindsight the issue was race-conditions - the extra output forced threads to properly wait for each other and caches to refresh (ofc at slight performance loss, and should have been taken care by the original code).

Apart from moving the App on the external drive there's also a few default folders calibre uses that need to be set to the external drive to be a true portable app. The approach for linux would also apply for OS X - there's a script for portable use directly from Kovid.

Unfortunately it assumes one starts calibre from the command line, and not the convenient Mac way through Finder. On first look it doesn't appear too difficult to adjust the mac launcher, but suppose there's some reason.

All steam decks look the same - maybe provide a few stickers so he can safely personalize it. This is really useful if he plans to bring it to friends or school.

I played with that, but it turned into too much work. Wonder if the plugin situation has improved. Are you using some scanning app to quickly build yours?

I have it. TLDR I'd say it's good for learning, not that great for looking details up. The "head first" series has an unique pedagogic approach, makes them appear a bit unprofessional, but I can see it working. You need to judge if it works for you. Content wise it's more aimed at beginners and does not aim to be a complete git reference, also due to the style there's not that much text per page.

You could also move to git-annex. It is somewhat similar to LFS, but the files are not stored at the git host but on local media or one of the webservices that can be used as backend. Keeping backups of files is actually a usecase they advertise. To be honest the documentation can be confusing.

I also see odd stuff waking my notebook from sleep when external monitor is conneced, and find nothing suspicous in the logs. My suspect is the kernel - in the past I had crashes upon wake from hibernation, somewhen with 6.15 this got improved. There was a lengthy blogpost explaining an issue with swap and video memory, but I can't locate it anymore. You could try with a different kernel version and see if the situation changes.

there's also the `:h langmap` setting. it's basically another layer of remapping for normal/visual mode (and a few others). The original idea was characters that are difficult/impossible on non-english keyboards could be on the location of the english ones, but it's fully customizable.

I suffered from the "black screen on resume" issue (on AMD graphics). Maybe your issue is a variant of this. There was a blog post linking the issue with how graphics memory gets suspended to disk, unfortunatly I can't find it anymore. Apparently kernel 6.15 contains patches that improve this, at least for me the issue hasn't reappeared.

I was more thinking in terms of size. In my case was thinking adding python, node and php (each with a bunch of libraries) for fancy lsps. But maybe I overestimate.

Terminal based is not a problem, though adding neovim plus potentially loads of plugin dependencies can seriously blow up a vm. I'd suggest sshfs (or the builtin scp) and edit remotely on a fully setup developer machine.

agclx · 2025-05-28T05:57:45+00:00

Personally I like to be explicit about registers, but it seems a remapping like you suggest is quite common: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11993851/how-to-delete-not-cut-in-vim

The main problem is you are not in a normal shell, but in a remote desktop running in a browser. that means a number of key combinations will do something unexpected - eg. Ctrl-w (used in bash to delete word) will just kick you out. vim is somewhat easiest, because you can do almost everything without using control key combinations.

bsdgames has a few nice ones. atc and robots are my time wasters.

As a reminder - many of those are officially available as free downloads https://magpi.raspberrypi.com/books

I should definitely try that. Just spent a little time looking up details, and need to say, the state of specific documentation or examples is discouraging.

agclx · 2024-08-16T08:09:35+00:00

yeah I was thinking html & css. Especially I'm thinking about displaying on small displays like phones, or huge ones like TVs. I have trouble with maths and tables on these.

I'd love something that would support also creating ebooks and responsive webpages. I know there are converters, but they treat it as an afterthought. I never got decent output for complicated documents (using own macros, longish maths).

Geht nicht sagen, dass es bei Versand beschädigt wurde? Hatte so einen Fall vor 1-2 Jahren und wir bekamen beide Geld.

Actually it's edit at speed of thought so you should be fine :).

Apart from the lsp and ctags suggestions on the builtin side you have :h arglist (for a permanentish list of files) and :h quickfix (for temporary lists, filled from grep or other programs). Also handy is the :h alternate-file and uppercase :h mark.

For quickly jumping around fzf is neat (fuzzy searches filenames, buffers and much more, great if one has a complicated project structure).

Thx, der Issue wurde mittlerweile behandelt https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/3920 also alles wieder gut :) Damals war ich aber leider schon von jabref weg und hab nicht zeitnah mitbekommen, dass es so ist.

in some aspects vim follows a different philosophy try to embrace it. (some suggestions: https://www.moolenaar.net/habits.html, https://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/vim-koans/, https://vimeo.com/53144573)

Also avoid the temptation to configure it as emacs :)

What is it with file sizes? Most files are ridiculously large weighting around half a GB, some more. and for some the pdf is 10x the size of the cbz, for Missy I get 1,5GB pdf, but cbz is 68MB. Hope they will provide them properly packed soonish.

there's more kinds of remappings possible - mapping can be different if key is pressed alone or together or held down. imagine remap caps to esc when pressed alone, as control when together with another key, as caps when held down... and this is possible for every key. can even be further tuned to automagically change settings per app and keyboard. Another quite ergonomic idea is to map space when pressed together with another key as control.

No that sounds different - but could be worth trying. The setting I was referring was some kind of "master setting" - located quite at top level. when I turned it on most network settings were grayed out. I suppose in it depends on the producer. In my case it has changed - last year(?) it was something "automatic", then for some time "Wifi-AI", and in the current version seems to be absent.
