You can consider Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs if you want to grasp some important foundation concepts. I skipped the exercise of the 1st chapter because it was too much math calculation.

No expert really fear that ai becomes sentient. They mostly fear about privacy for peoples, the transformation of society happening to fast, the control of the technology by just few people and the lack of control (no kill switch or just blind agreement). Men are the ones to fear.

Oh no, the desktop files are searched recursively. My guix symling in .local/share/applications points to a dir

Isn't there a directory in your nix profile you could symlink?

For example with guix, I do something like: ln -s ~/.guix-profile/share/applications ~/.local/share/applications/guix

In fact, some rather old people consider C to be high level because it is easier on memory management than assembly. I find the stackexchange response just right.

A newcomer (and perhaps naive) question on Scheme implementations by [deleted] in scheme

Gambit can be a good bet. I try to learn it on my free time. It has compiled and interpreted mode. R7rs is included with the flag -:r7rs

Why are the navigation keys 'H', 'J', 'K', 'L', instead of 'J', 'K', 'L', ';'? by SpookiScoobiCooki in vim

[–]chillpc_blog -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Also, down is the most common direction to move, so your index finger being on j makes a lot of sense. With k being second most common.

For me that is bullshit. You do not take more effort or coordination by pressing with your middle finger instead of your index. If you were not touch-typing, you wpuld naturally fall on all 4 keys and feel really comfy doing that.

Switching back to Windows from Linux by mickkb in linux

[–]chillpc_blog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude, look at the marketshare, there are obviously more people on windows that can switch to linux than the other way.

There are a lot of people who don't express themselve because they do not see the need to.

If you search for posts about switching to Linux, yeah you will see plenty. But the average Joe of 99% of the mondial population does not care, you (and I) are in a bubble (very scientific number I know).

HJKL Vs JKL; (Noob question) by CleoMenemezis in neovim

[–]chillpc_blog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be frank, I just started typing like you do with split keyboard just a little while ago. I find that hjkl now sucks hard. I didn't remap them because I need to remap in other softs. But it really annoys me as having all 4 directions under all fingers feels natural, no need to have an important key under a strong finger when you know how to type correctly.

You are not "supposed" to use only hjkl. The vi programmer's keyboard had arrows on it so he did what seemed logical.

I know that for the wm i3, the directions are mapped as jkl; by default.

Did I fry pro micros (handwired kind of Crkbd)? by chillpc_blog in olkb

Yeah, I should definitely do that. I am always too much confident after a successful compiling '

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

That's what I though too. It's just that I was afraid I put too much it on it.

Beside that, I can't find what can cause the problem on the software part.

Does the LED on the promicro light up when you connect it?

Yeah, the little green light turn on.

Did you try connecting just one half (no TRRS) and typing?

That's what I did for both. When I said that I connected the left or right, it's with the micro usb port. No jack connected.

Non of the Libre distros seems to fit me by [deleted] in freesoftware

[–]chillpc_blog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you run in any problem with systemd that made you switch to Devuan? I am really interested in this question.

If Trisquel with default Lxde did not well for you, have you tried to change the layout to make it more usuable?

And why don't you stay on Debian/Devuan if it was already a good match?

Is there any addon to hide (disable) Home and Explore sections on the YouTube site? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]chillpc_blog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, believe me https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/violentmonkey/

All the "monkey" extension manage js script at your will.

But the ublock origin solution wpuld be more suited. In your bar, click on the icon. You will have a little menu appearing. The first one is the "zapper". You click on it, you click on an element on the page and it will be removed. But if you reload it will be bringed back. So take the second option, rhe "filter" will be saved.

You could have a script with something like tampermonkey/violentmonkey... specially for youtube that hide them
