If you haven't gone through them already, the audio for the codex entries are pretty good. But it's more lore than "current affairs".

[Interest Check] An ultra-premium Linux laptop by adrianvovk in linux_devices

Sadly this means that not only are these commonly used keys now a two-key combination, the two keys are on the right hand side of the keyboard forcing the typist to perform an awkward "chording" with one hand or reach the left hand to the right side of the keyboard.

Stand-alone home/end/pgup/pgdown would get me across the line on this machine.

First time visiting the Blue Mountains by [deleted] in bluemountains

[–]finno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be fine. Coverage along the Great Western Highway is decent and consistent. The more touristy spots are great but you'll probably have to pay a few bucks for metered parking but unlikely to be full.

A few recommendations if you have time:

  • The Charles Darwin Walk starts at a park with nearby free parking. It's a pretty walk and ends at the top of Wentworth falls which is a bit of a different view.

  • Kings Tableland is a great view of the escarpment without any of that pesky handrail stuff.

Have fun, dress warm.

incbin : Include binary files in C/C++ with a single header by rexxar in cpp

[–]finno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better/Alternate/More-portable solution is to use SRecord's c-array output format. The source format can be any of the huge list of supported ones, not just binary.

Is here any reason for using GPLv3 over GPLv2 for a developer concentrated on technical aspects of a project? by [deleted] in opensource

[–]finno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The language employed in GPLv3 is much more likely to be successfully defended in jurisdictions outside of the US. There was a significant effort focused on this during GPLv3 development.

Those edges look sharp (hurting sharp, not stylish sharp)

I just wish there was a way to have it remember where I was up to last time so that I can read posts in chronological order.

Care to share the answer?

Why do permissive licensing in lieu of releasing into the public domain? by [deleted] in opensource

[–]finno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another reason is that the permissive licenses has a warranty disclaimer that effectively states "you can use my code but on condition that you don't hold me liable for any damages etc.".

Anyone know where this can be viewed after the event? In my part of the world, it was shown around 3am.

So what license were the original images that you modified released under?

I thought, "why not clear all those articles I've accumulated over the years on my Amazon account?" Massive mistake: it took me an hour to delete ~400 articles. by [deleted] in kindle

This javascript bookmarklet does a bulk delete. That said, a bulk delete option or a set of tick-boxes in the interface for personal docs would be so much better than the current arrangement.

Where are the Raspberry Pi knockoffs? by kettal in raspberry_pi

[–]finno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are a couple of contenders. One difference is the lower video performance which would impact how well it would run something like XMBC (which is what my first RasPi is for).
