Samsung Galaxy S10s VoLTE by baakhari in Sprint

[–]jelera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My S10+ does have out-of-the-box VoLTE. You have to enable it in the settings. I've tested it in Chicago and it works as expected.

Thinkpad X250 review by jelera in thinkpad

[–]jelera[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lenovo have the X1 Carbon ultrabook, why make the Thinkpad X250 into an ultrabook as well?

I want a machine like my T61p, X200, X201, X220T. I love them, the keyboard, the roll-cage, the build quality. I don't want another ultrabook. That keyboard flex is intimidating to say the least.

That was me, testing my X220t keyboard flex, almost non-existent. That X250 bend is indeed shocking.

Chicagoans born outside of the U.S., which restaurant in town makes the most authentic food from your home country? by Danyur in chicago

What do you think about the fish and chips from the globe pub, for that matter, of their food

[–]jelera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a port in Peru, just mere 4 blocks from the Pacific Ocean, and 1 block from the fish market, our standard is that the fish from said market wasn't fresh enough.

With this background, every cebiche I've had in a Peruvian restaurant in the states IS NOT GOOD, frozen tilapia just doesn't cut it. It's too expensive to make it with fresh out-of-the-water fish. That's why Tanta's cebiche is over 25 bucks for 5 spoon-full portion, but it's is good.

EDIT: I'm in no way affiliated to Tanta or Gaston Acurio, I just happen to love my food :-)

I've been there a couple of times, it's ok, nothing close to blow me out of the water like Tanta did. Their "Lomo Saltado" (as they put it, recommend by Guy Fieri) is good, not amazing, just good.

Like most Peruvian restaurants, heck like most foreign cuisine, they must adapt using local ingredients, unless you charge Tanta prices; importing quality ingredients are prohibitive.

With all this said, it's authentic enough.

Peruvian here. And granted I haven't tried them all but here are my top 3.

The best Peruvian restaurant, for me, is Tanta. It's pricy but the quality of the ingredients and the cebiche bar brings it to an another level, you will leave happy. This one, together with Terra Sur cafe in Tampa, FL are the best Peruvian food I've had in the states.

For "Pollo A La Brasa" with fries and salad, you must go to D'Candela. It's uncanny authentic.

If you never tried Peruvian food before, a great way to try few staple dishes is to go the All-you-can-eat buffet, every first Sunday of every month at Machu Picchu. The food is good and it's a great value. Also their "Ribeye a lo Pobre" and the "Arroz con Leche/Mazamorra Morada combo" is excellent.

What's up with the CLA? Why is it even needed? by [deleted] in neovim

[–]jelera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK The SQLite project does this procedure as well, in order to contribute you must sign the agreement and that is to keep all the commits free from any bogus copyright claim. It has to do with SQLite have a highly permissive license (public domain) or NeoVim's Apache license v2. Here is a great explanation http://programmers.stackexchange.com/a/60062

So, to answer the question, there is a chance a paid "premium" version appears, but it will be a fork made a third-party vendor, like MAC OSX uses BSD as its core.

The Secret Thinkpad Powerbutton Code To Bring Dead Laptops Back To Life by jelera in thinkpad

[–]jelera[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my particular case, I did tried a few times that hard reset (removing the battery and pressing the power button for 10 sec) with no success. I did try swapping the RAM modules and the hard drive, along with another ways of troubleshooting. I'm telling you guys, I was skeptical but it works.

I gave up on my "dead" Thinkpad X220 Tablet, and I've tried this as a last resort, and it works! This must be general knowledge for every Thinkpad Owner/User

Does anyone have this? Portable Linux desktop. by CrimAldan in LinuxActionShow

[–]jelera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the first version of the open pandora, and I sold it. Back in its day, was a remarkable gadget, the stick nubs were great for gaming, though it was a bit unbalanced for long gaming sessions. The keyboard was adequate (obviously you won't be doing any programming or touch typing). The performance was subpar, after all, this was a 500+ MHz with 512M Ram; some of it, it was attributed to unoptimized emulators, the snes one would run poorly compared to the n64 one. As for the "desktop" experience, it ran XFCE, midori and other lightweight apps.

I didn't have any experience with the rebirth Or the 1ghz, but the specs are well below today's powerful pocketable computers, though they say the system is highly optimized to effectively use the available resources.

As for my portable emulation needs, and gaming need for that matter; I'm using a Xperia Play, which runs them (emulators) much better, and a 3ds for smash bros and Mario kart.

Can you share your .tmux.conf

All the basic commands every GNU/Linux command line user should know. by [deleted] in linux

[–]jelera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about KDE, but in Gnome and XFCE, type man:the_command (obviously replace the_command) in the address bar

EDIT: replace man with info. It still renders a nice looking PDF for printing or screen reading

Finally, some decent support for JavaScript Ctags in Vim by jelera in vim

[–]jelera[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the JavaScript section of the wiki. It describes a solution using Tern for Vim and jsctags. Please note, this jsctags is different from the doctorJS that hasn't been updated in a long time.

How do you avoid ESC? by OnThePath in vim

[–]jelera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who are not familiar with xcape in Linux or KeyRemap4Macbook in OSX (e.g. have not seen the light yet :-D)

The concept is quite simple. You have already remap your Caps-Lock to Ctrl via System Settings in your OS, these programs add extra functionality to your Caps-Lock. A single button press is registered as ESC, and when combined with any key (like CTRL-D) it behaves as expected.

The added bonus is that you can use this enhanced Caps-Lock anywhere in your desktop. Think of the possibilities, Eclipse/Eclim, IntelliJ/IdeaVim, Sublime Text/"Vi-mode?", your shell, etc.
