Re:How to take smart notes with Org mode on Saturday February 15, 2020 @05:25PM (#22338457)
I've actually been flip-flopping between Notion and Org-mode for months, and just the other day decided to finally organize myself all on Notion.

I love Org-mode, and will likely continue to use it for various things, but I agree that Notion is the only thing that (to me) surpasses it.

Re:Mate 1.22 released on Sunday March 24, 2019 @01:07PM (#19477422)
AFAIK GTK-2 stopped being officially supported as soon as GTK was released. Though there does still seem to be activity in the git repo https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/tree/gtk-2-24

In any case MATE migrated to GTK-3 some time ago, as of MATE 1.18 https://mate-desktop.org/blog/2017-03-13-mate-1-18-released/

Oh, and GTK-4 is coming soon...

Relationships can be your biggest asset. After 7 years in the industry I imagine you made a few friends. Reach out to them see if they/their company are hiring. They will know of your experience and skill first-hand.

Other than that just get out there. Send out some resumes, go to local events, that kind of thing.

Re:3D Modelling in a Browser on Monday March 04, 2019 @04:09PM (#19305530)
It claims to be for modeling not CAD. Think Blender not Solidworks.

So ultimately yes, it's for pretty pictures.

Re:How old is your work laptop? on Monday July 30, 2018 @03:09PM (#17647077)
Personally mine is only a year old, but I don't think it matters that much.

Like everything it depends on what you are doing. If you are doing frontend work that requires you to have 3 browsers open at a time + an Electron-based editor + a dev server you are going to need a lot more than someone who is writing low-level C code in Vim.

As an aside: newer =/= better.

Re:What is the PDF format good for? Nothing (2006) on Thursday July 19, 2018 @08:49AM (#17565695)
While I think the author makes some good points about the PDF format itself, this article is painfully outdated with many complaints about Acroreader and Netscape which are no longer remotely relevant.

Though the article does serve as an interesting time capsule. Kinda shows you how the more things change the more stay the same.

Re:Impact – HTML5 Game Engine on Thursday May 03, 2018 @10:16AM (#16986226)
If I remember right CrossCode[1] is using it. Fun game but another case of near endless beta.

Re:Time to rebuild the web? on Monday April 16, 2018 @03:17PM (#16851861)
IIRC they do have an unsubscribe button, or some other opt-out method, because I know I clicked it, and I don't receive any of the aforementioned ad emails.
Re:That feel when you can't captcha [video] on Saturday March 31, 2018 @08:53PM (#16726053)
Not only that but I am almost certain that they are intentionally more difficult on "shady" or lower traffic websites.
Re:Godot at GDC 2018 on Sunday March 25, 2018 @04:44PM (#16674492)
According to the Godot docs[1] this doesn't seem to be a priority for them, though I would also love to see Switch support. Though in those same docs they point out a third-party which provides console ports. Not an ideal solution by any means, but it is still an option.

So then would sndio be the OpenBSD native sound API?
I know very very little about audio frameworks, but what does sndio have over it's competition? It is clearly a simpler and likely cleaner system than PulseAudio, but what about compared to ALSA and OSS?
Re:Diamond – fast search across all your cloud services on Thursday February 01, 2018 @09:47AM (#16282148)
Anyone know if this supports Nextcloud/WebDav? I can't seem to be able to tell from the website. That and a nice Linux version and I would use this in a heartbeat considering how all over the place things are these days.
Oh I didn't even notice those were links. That puts a very different spin on the article...
I disagree. Within the last week Cardano has gone from relatively unknown to the 6th highest market cap on https://coinmarketcap.com. There is certainly enough of a surge in interest to make this a relevant post.
While the concept of a peer-reviewed cryptocurrency is an interesting one, and certainly has merit, I can't seem to figure out what Cardano offers that existing, and well established, cryptocurrencies like Ethereum don't.
