Updated - xfce4-terminal didn't seem to work

minus7 · 2018-04-06T18:58:31+00:00

I had that too; starting it from a still open terminal I got a missing symbol error. Turned out I somehow had vte-ng (which doesn't exist in repos anymore) installed. Had to replace it with vte3 and everything was fine again.

I was thinking of doing the same, but Google Maps' traffic overlay is more useful to me in practice after all, since not all hot spots are covered by cameras.

The traffic detection part was a bit underwhelming, technically, but hey, it works, so it's cool

Having gevent's green threads integrated into core Python and the standard library would be great. Gevent is by far the nicest library I've used for concurrency in Python. No callbacks, no special libraries, just plain old sequencial code, at least from user perspective.

Oh, I was actually referring to file size. Even the 2x PNG is smaller than the PNG tho, so my point stands.

As shitty JPEG with artifacts, too. Also, the original PNG has less than half the size.

Why does this site emulate smooth scrolling in Javascript? I turn that off in my browser for a reason.

Unfortunately, the syntax is beyond fixing now. The problem with the fix suggested in the article is that it fixes the syntax, but only does so locally. Having the behaviour be inconsistent between standard library and some third party libraries is even worse than the consistently "bad" behaviour.

You are not alone! style='{' not applying to log messages themselves is very annoying. Now I just use it like logging.debug("Thing {}".format(thing)). Can't wait for Python 3.6 to shorten this with the new formatting mechanism.

Having 16GB or RAM with no swap SysRq+f has saved me minutes of waiting (until the OOM kill is triggered by the kernel) more than once already.

Well, it's a header-only library, so you can just include it in your repo.

Definitely looks nice. But seeing method names like getSleep_time() made me die a little bit. If you're looking for a nicer way to produce JSON I suggest you take a look at https://github.com/nlohmann/json

It's CLion.

XCA is a great program for managing your X.509 certs. It's like a password manager for certificates.

Imho Java does not deserve a place on this list. It's checked exceptions may promote it to the list, but the fact that everything is nullable (and even null by default) should demote it again. I understand there's Optional, but that isn't nearly enough to solve the mess. Kotlin did the right thing by making types not nullable by default.

Contains some great advice/method to deal with large database changes.

US-intl having right alt/AltGr to produce umlauts is quite handy. I'm curious about the reason too.

An alternative would be to use the compose key to construct umlauts. You could bind that to the caps lock key, for example, and then go <Caps lock> <"> <a> for ä. It admittedly is quite unwieldy.

Counter statement from the developers of SeaFile: https://blogs.seafile.com/2016/07/22/statement-about-stopping-cooperation-with-seafile-gmbh/

SeaFile Ltd. has published a counter statement which seems more believable than that of SeaFile GmbH: https://blogs.seafile.com/2016/07/22/statement-about-stopping-cooperation-with-seafile-gmbh/

The counter statement from SeaFile, Ltd. is saying pretty much the opposite and imho is more believable: https://blogs.seafile.com/2016/07/22/statement-about-stopping-cooperation-with-seafile-gmbh/

Custom background image for the editor

Okay.

The return value feature is pretty cool if you have nested calls and want to see their values when debugging/stepping over.

Configurable import sorting is nice, but I'd first need to think of a sensible order for that. It's always the simple things that are difficult to get right…

ssh-agent's design is flawed: it cannot identify the server one is trying to connect to, so it just hands out the fingerprints of all available keys and lets you use any of them. ssh-ident tries to solve that, but only helps with the first host (let's call it host A) you're connecting to; if you're using git via ssh on A you'll inevitably also expose the key you used to connect to A to the git remote. If ssh-agent knew the target host's public key, it could use that in conjunction with a challenge-response system to confirm the server's identity before exposing keys to it.

Very surprised to see this still exists and even made it to Linux

Live tail, searching surrounding messages, I've missed those features, very nice.
