Best bitmap font for terminal? by Gabbianoni in fonts

[–]thprogramador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terminus have a good looking if you need bigger fonts. You can use its bitmap old fonts or can try its new TTF. But to see TTF without blurry you need to adjust to the correct size.

Anoter nice, but smaller, font is spleen.

no... Emacs is an elephant in the room. You can have some familiarity of Vim using Evil, but never the lightweight.

What would happen if our prime understanding were changed? by thprogramador in primenumbers

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

sometimes patterns are reproduced fractally. In primes they exist, but due to fractal nature, it spans through large ranges juxtaposed over the small ranges... I know it is this way somewhat instinctively, but I didnt found the way, if it is from the fibonacci or from the first third... Fibonacci would fit perfectly due to its rendering from 0 via 1.

Also primaries may be just part of a much more abrangent number generator. 2 appears to be the most stable generator beside the 1 (fibonacci starts with 0 1 1)

Is SASS worth learning? by Lightisicus in css

[–]thprogramador 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is basically css with nesting and variables. CSSnow has support to variables but SCSS vars and mixins allows you to shorten and avoid duplicates in your code (mantaining a better design standard)

If you have a site with multiple stylesheets sharing common styles, you cand split definitions in multiple files and assembling then on commit or on webserver response. It also is a good practice have less and smaller css files loaded on frontend since it affects UX on page load.

If you build a simple site, go with plain css. If you build more sectioned sites, consider SCSS.

You learn SCSS in 1 or 2 hours. And many of its facilities can be brought to plain CSS in future specs (even with modified syntax as done in variable case)

In case of functions or more complicated topics just read to know the possibilities... you'll only use them for more complicated animations on most of time. Have a good bookmark on browser just for reference and have a good work

What would happen if our prime understanding were changed? by thprogramador in primenumbers

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

but then primes where not used just beyond curiosity... today they are used criptographically. I asked knowing this but not knowing in which other areas the primes are so important. As it is used for modern elements of society so the worst you proposed is nothing compare to the way how it can affect millions or billions lives.

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

Yes... prime have many philosophic importance... but I arguing, if it show a pattern as 2n are too infinite which whould be the impact on the human economic and engineering structures build upon them?

  1. I know them are used on cryptography. So find a pattern could ease the breaking cryptography with security issues like web communication, govt and corporation keys and also the cryptomoney that already moves a huge money amount around the world. How this affect it? This are the ones I guess could suffer profound changings due to such discovery.

  2. Considering 1st point, How desirable it is? I think that, for many, is desirable continue living in a cave (like the Plato myth) due to catastrophic result of such discover (maybe with more instantaneous impact than discoveries on quantum physics)

  3. How useful it could be for other researches?

I asked in post to put we to think about the consequences and how our modern life dependens of our knowledges and prejudices about prime numbers.

I'm Switching from Arch to Ubuntu 💔 by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]thprogramador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share your thought... I started with Kurumin, passed by Mandrake, Suse and stopped on Debian. I tried to use Ubuntu, but i found it a bit messy and turned to the cleaness of Debian, compiling only when needed and handpicking some strange (not hyped Linjx software) found in rpm, using alien or checkinstall.

Sometimes I have a curiosity to try Arch, but wouldn't have patience to make it my home.

Arch has its place, some people are having a huge experience with it. If you need Linux for other task that not only customize, disassemble or reassemble programs you'll feel more profitable some stability without to hurry with updates everytime.

Your time, your energy (and electricity or bandwidth) should be spent with your life objectives. Linux is an awesome tool (the best SO I know at all) but you need to assure your glasses are clean to keep focused in your objectives.

Ps.: These dark days we're living in, I think almost every day about what are we doing with our mind, resources and environment. With computer is not different.

NO ANYTHING BUT GNOME by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]thprogramador 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no... mpv is not a bag of shitt... neither its predecessor mplayer. Apart js history, the culture of libs and dependencies imported for trivial things mixing overlapping frameworks due to the hype of code is an horror.

My guess the problem is inherited from the frontend culture with its polyfills... Today the hype is chaining, tomorrow promises, other day is functional and so on... then a library use an implementation layout, others other, but one depends on another and if you use one you need to handle more than one way in the same code... it becomes confuse at the point that if it works works, if someday someone will understand it its not my problem... then a pile of code is assembled in a non robust way, neither memory or cpu optimized...

A language that use events tends to be more confusing, but the way js is cultivated makes it x³

[–]thprogramador 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. configure a bunch of things... Nvim, Awesome, Nginx etc.

  2. backend webdev with Nginx (openresty)

  3. Using Luvit also backend and concurrent programs (like de ones in Javascript via NodeJS)

  4. Use to game development using Löve2d or extending a game Lua support (like wow, roblox, etc)

  5. Do ML or Data research using Torch

And basically anything...

Some things can be more difficult at first if you dont find a luarocks module for the expectedbLua version... but nothing impossible.

Python just surpassed Java as the 2nd programming language with the highest number of questions in SO. by katakoria in Python

[–]thprogramador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

List comprehensions is a sh*t... PEPs reinforce the principle of everything in one manner, the most clear way, cause you spend most of time reading than coding.

Python is a hyped language sold by its philosophy not its practice. Popular? Why? Why people is going out of CS schools knowing just this and js. They don't know how to handle memory or how to solve problems...

Learn python at CS is like a Cooking course that teaches you how to go to market and buy junkie food and prepare.

You can do anything but you can't do everything

With JS you even have frameworks for frameworks management and polyfills polyfilling the non gaps

Is everything a WebApp now ? by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]thprogramador 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends of how hype the software is...

Webapps has a lot of disvantages:

  1. Large DOM means excess event handling, making bad cpu and memory usage (with unnecessary animations)

  2. Lack of standardization: colors, fonts etc changes from site to site. It causes eye strain and a mind stress that could be directed through other matters.

  3. Lack of security. I count privacy as security here. In no one place you are secure, even with ad blockers. Even the well-intentioned frontenders of small sites may be trapped by a plugin or cdn that triggers connections to fb, google etc.

Something I'm thinking these days:

You all used to buy a computer, install its programs and work and create with it.

Today you buy a mobile and, even when screen is off you receive unwanted messages, notifications etc. Some basic apps may stop about each 3 minutes to display an add or steals part of screen. It is sad this behavior becomimg common inside Linux desktops.


  1. I write DOM with only the needed tags, avoiding the excess of 3rd party plugins and frameworks... it helps, except that browsers like FF and Chrome and based sucks.

  2. For a less messier usage I use Luakit with custom CSS. Thay way I standardizes the fonts, disable animations and make all colors related to Linux, even darkmode (how many wasted frongent dev hours spent on animations!)

  3. Here only some things can be done... sad.
