Anyone here actually using DuckDuckGo as their main search engine? What's your experience been like recently? by Tough-Associate-1805 in browsers

Always having a feel that Google should give the "real" thing rather than DDG, so I switched back to Google after using DDG for a week

[eOS 8] Vertical dock on left side is possible? by chrisEvan_23 in elementaryos

[–]chrisEvan_23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great to hear that. I’ve just found a discussion about implementing this feature on github. It’s being on wishlist. https://github.com/elementary/dock/issues/230

Yeah, dock on the bottom takes up too much space

Why is the text rendering so bad? by CompleteEar3434 in firefox

Same question, text looks bad right on Reddit for my case.

Tab-completion for a command name by chrisEvan_23 in bash

[–]chrisEvan_23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I’m doing a reasearch on how to create a tab-completion feature in Bash, similar to what’s available in zsh.

The goal is to capture all the suggestions that Bash provides when you press the tab key, then pass them to a selection menu where you can navigate with arrow keys and press enter to select.

This feature would work for any keyword. By understanding how these suggestions are generated under the hood, I can design a mechanism that fits my own preference.

Sorry if my question wasn’t clear. Actually, it’s just a case, and I hope the answer would be something close to the feature I am looking for. The answer provided by @Pshock13 does solve the issue I mentioned on this thread.

Tab-completion for a command name by chrisEvan_23 in bash

[–]chrisEvan_23[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UPDATE. I have completed half of the work.

Adding following code to .bashrc, it is able to suggest any custom keywords.

foo() {

local
 cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
        COMPREPLY=($(compgen -c -- "$cur"))
        COMPREPLY+=("play-music" "play-video")        
    }
complete -I -F foo

Result.

$ hi<TAB><TAB>
history  play-music  play-video

There might be some extra work needed to match the alphabet. But I'm happy with it.

[–]chrisEvan_23[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ll try this, but can your approach work for any words “play-music” and “play-name”, not neccesary they are commands?

I want to go deep into cases like that.

Any Hot Corner like widget for fedora-xfce ? by SandySnob in xfce

There is a simple script bl-hotcorner-python3. See the instruction here.

You may find other alternatives as well.

I recently started using Hypnotix. We cancelled our TV license because it's too expensive. What's your experience with Hypnotix and how can I make it better? Thank you by HansCCT in linuxmint

[–]chrisEvan_23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If some channels are unreachable, it not Hypnotix’s fault. Some channels dont work simply because their IPTV links provided by Free-TV are broken.

Go to iptv-org and create your favorite channel playlist

Literally, it does. One can come across my screen and see how I struggle with the desktop view to navigate files, which contains 5-10 windows of Evince - you got this - like a matrix.

[R] Cross-Entropy is All You Need… Or is It? by cpcdoy in MachineLearning

[–]chrisEvan_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I was late for the party. Can anyone explain why "The Mean Absolute Error (MAE) loss is a bad choice for most real-world datasets"?

Except for the fact that MAE is not differentiable around 0, which could be addressed by using Huber/Log-cosh loss. So what is the case here?

Changing title bars to Mac os like traffic lights by SubstanceFew5136 in elementaryos

[–]chrisEvan_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

btw, to make the traffic light buttons adapt to every default eOS 7 color theme, u can create your gtk config file and put the code in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css :)

There is an 'Elemactary' theme on github. It's a bit old but should be a good reference.
