bwidlaron An Introduction to Ray Tracing (1989)

https://t.co/RHZKjvseIT

"I've decided to make pdf's of my ray tracing books available at "pay what you want". This can include zero, which I encourage for students and any other cash-strapped people. 50% of gross proceeds will go to programming education non-for-profits."

bwidlaron So Long, Macbook. Hello Again, Linux

Old macos user too. Using Arch Linux since some months ago.

This is my happy world now:

   xcape -e "Shift_L=parenleft;Shift_R=parenright"
   sxhkd &
   unclutter &
   feh --auto-rotate --bg-fill --randomize ~/pics/wallpapers &

   jack_control start
   jack_control dps nperiods 3
   jack_control dps period 2048

   cd ~/prog/bar/
   ./bar | ./lemonbar -B#080808 -F#333333 -f "luculent" -b &
   cd

   exec bspwm

I am going to stay here for very long, the rolling release concept is a gift from gods.

bwidlaron Choose Firefox Now, Or Later You Won't Get A Choice (2014)

I just install firefox.

- I can't block javascript/cookies per page. (I do not want to install a stupid plugin just for that)

- I can't zoom with my fingers (macos here). (basic gesture for trackpad users)

Bye firefox, I will try again in 2018.
