boromi··on Baseline Grid
I'm having a hard time understanding the source code at the bottom. Where are the functions defined? I see a whole bunch of `f`, without a definition.
boromi··on Apple’s reinvented Mac Pro will shred your workflow
I love the design, too bad they don't just sell the case so I could DIY a proper PC that's half the cost with the same specs ...
boromi··on Apple Unveils All New Mac Pro at WWDC
Will the monitor work fine on windows?
boromi··on Amadine – Vector graphics software for Mac
I'm also curious. Affinity is compatible with Windows which is a huge advantage. It looks like affinity has more features but is also 30$ more expensive, which is not a big deal considering how powerful it is.
boromi··on PDF Is the World's Most Important File Format
Adobe acrobat reader has been atrocious. I'm so glad I switched to sumatra this year.
boromi··on Your terminal is not a terminal: An Introduction to Streams
I see, and thank you for the clarification. My main problem then is the blog post for the redirection section is poorly written and plain wrong with regards to the examples and pictures.

Their example is $ cat /tmp/root_content.txt

And then in the picture the show that the `cat` program's stdout is `/tmp/root_content.txt`, which is incorrect according to your description. This would only be correct if it was then redirected or piped.

boromi··on Your terminal is not a terminal: An Introduction to Streams
So `cat /tmp/hello.txt` does not read stdin from `/tmp/hello.txt`? Why does `cat /tmp/hello.txt` set stdout to `/tmp/hello.txt` this is confusing

Also his example ` exec 5<> /tmp/lines.txt` fails with ambiguous redirect.

boromi··on A Julia Interpreter and Debugger
When can we expect integration with VScode. Atom is too slow on my computer.
boromi··on Inter – open source and legible typeface
Yeah it's a very nice and clean homepage. Anyone know if there's a template for a page like this, (looking to use it with hugo if possible)

Thanks

Anyone else here use Jabref? I like it's simplicity.
boromi··on MateBook 13 Whisky Lake and Nvidia MX150 Ultraportable
They almost got this perfect, except for no thunderbolt and 8GB ram...

I also prefer the Matebook X Pro design with the super slim bezel and webcam integrated into the keyboard.

boromi··on Project Fi Is Now Google Fi
10$/GB is way too expensive Compare: - ATT unlocked pay as you go you get 8GB with ROLLOVER for 40$ a month (autopay) - TMobile for 40$ per month you get 10GB (not sure about rollover)

This service seems very niche and only for international travellers.

boromi··on Tiny Books Fit in One Hand. Will They Change the Way We Read?
It's still not clear from reading your description how this is better works? You're just gluing together the bottom of a whole bunch of pages?
boromi··on Julia parallel task runtime (WIP)
checkout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdiZa0Y3F3c which explains the new features of the task scheduler in a simple fashion.

Basically Julia is employing a new algorithm to schedule tasks, where traditional methods would get stuck/blocked. Essentially, if you run a job with parallel tasks and one of the threads finishes, it's extremely difficult to schedulate the free thread, since the data may still be used by the other threads that are busy; thus you need to have clever way to determine how to allocate computational resources. Julia is implementing results of a new paper on how to optimally do this.

boromi··on Julia parallel task runtime (WIP)
Care to elaborate? I think a lot of HN posts around popular technologies will clearly have a strong group of followers, not sure why it would be appropriate to call them `shills`.

So maybe there is or maybe it's just genuine interest in the novel parallel task runtime. I'd like to think it's the later.

sadly OpenCL seems to always get ignored
boromi··on Show HN: Physically Based Rendering – Online Edition
what technology have they used to create the website? I'm guessing some pandoc to html workflow plus a static site engine?
boromi··on Show HN: Sublime Merge – A Git client from the makers of Sublime Text
I am interested in this too, however the team seems very secretive about this aspect of the project.
boromi··on Bringing macros to Python by abusing type annotations
This is one area where Julia truly excels and Python falls short
boromi··on The US Mint lost $69M making pennies last year
I think Canada has got rid of pennies; US should also follow that lead, hopefully.

I have used powerpoint in the past, it's pretty effective.

great tool however the font size is really small and hard too read

How's the GUI setup?
boromi··on Gokrazy: A pure-Go userland for Raspberry Pi 3 appliances
Thanks. Where would alpine linux fit into this all. It seems like a good candidate for embedded setups.
boromi··on Generic GPU Kernels in Julia
Yeah, I hate vendor lockin and would love to see this extended to OpenCL
boromi··on LaTeX Math in MS Office
I have been waiting so long for this. For PPT it's unfortunately still a bit annoying to enable latex, but I believe MSFT is actively working to fix this.

There is HBO go for 20$ a month, which IMO sounds too expensive for most.
