What about APM? Doesn't the speed at which the AI can input commands give it a big advantage?

I expected the article to say what made the phones catch fire.
cosarara97··on .NET on Linux – bye, Windows 10
It's packagers of RPM distros that should build RPMs. Upstream can't be expected to release packages for every distro (if any).
cosarara97··on C#/XAML for HTML5 new Beta 10.0
C#/XAML probably works much better on the desktop than Electron. Each has it's pros and cons. Also, C# is a much better language than js.
cosarara97··on YouTube Go: YouTube reimagined for the next generation of YouTube viewers
Youtube web on firefox for android allows it too. Funny that the mobile browser version works better than the app.

The map data is voxel based, but it's transformed to polygons when rendering.

Except when it's not, and the answer is the maintainers [1].

I'd like to see some numbers in that graph.
cosarara97··on Emacs 25.1 RC1
There are multiple helm-like plugins for vim, which can be used to change buffers. Tabs, on the other hand, are used so that you can, for example, have a tab with a vertical split and buffers A and B, and another tab with just one big buffer, and so on.

You scroll with the arrow keys. The "obscure commands" (ctrl-p and ctrl-n) are to get to the Previous and Next commands typed and are more or less universal in unix command line systems.

When using common lisp on SLIME you can type your code in the buffer, select it and have have it eval'ed. The result will be printed in the repl buffer instead of next to the cursor, but that's a pro to me.

When I tried out pharo I was pressing backspace all the time because outputs are not valid code and thus would break the highlighting.

Anyway, a repl is just that, a read eval print loop. If you interface with it using a command line or other means is just an implementation detail.

Could you give more a more detailed explanation on how you did that?

I'd call their drm opt-in, not opt-out.

cosarara97··on A new Curl logo
I can't help but see the 'l' floating up higher than the rest of the letters (it isn't). Even so, it's a lot better than the original.
cosarara97··on Libui: GUI library in C
The linux folks are the least likely to switch. We love our comman line, text editors, launchers and window managers, thank you very much [1].

cosarara97··on Programming from the Ground Up [pdf]
It won't load here.
cosarara97··on New Common Lisp website
You can write purely functional programs in CL, but it's not a purely functional language in the way haskell is, and I think most people don't use it that way.
cosarara97··on Humble Book Bundle: Hacking Presented by No Starch Press
It works here, with ublock origin enabled.

> Firefox vs us on Linux

That's a bit of an unfair comparison. Gtk has lots of nice themes which AFAIK Tk can't use. That dialog doesn't exist on Firefox anymore, but this is what Thunderbird's preferences look like on my machine: https://my.mixtape.moe/fggaex.png

It's true, Tk can look okay on linux, but it will still be out of place when placed side by side with Gtk and Qt apps (Qt can use Gtk themes).

cosarara97··on Medium and Twitter founder: ‘We put junk food in front of them and they eat it’
You must have a good filter. I get hundreds of chinese spam emails every month (which get moved to the spam folder automatically) since I made my address public on a couple mailing lists.

It reminds me of the emacs gdb mode.

reduce was not a keyword, it was a builtin function. So:

    reduce = 0
is valid. But really it doesn't matter.
