Used dark (not black) themes everywhere for 8 years. My eyesight is still good according to my annual physical, but recently I’ve noticed that I have a hard time reading text written on a dark background. It is slightly blurred, especially when there is no light in the room.

Somewhere I still use dark themes, but I always try to switch to light mode if things look okay with code highlighting or smth.

What about using enums? In this case you will have to specify them for all records, but this ensures that the field will always be present.

enum license_owner {
    regular_citizen = 0,
    embassy,
    government,
    ...
}

When I started learning programming, I was like “tf is a map function?” and I always forgot about it. Then I tried the functional programming language Erlang and understood all these functions very well. But there is a downside, now most for-loops in C++ look terrible to me :)

Have you tried Debian?

I’ve never understood why GNU/Linux actually needs swap. Okay, I created a 4G partition for it, having 32G of RAM. I never used all that RAM, but even so, stuff regularly ends up in swap. Why does the OS waste write cycles on my SSD if it doesn’t have to?

However, if I artificially fill up all 32G of RAM, the system almost completely freezes faster than switching to using swap as a “lifeline”. And it only comes back to life when OOM Killer finally remembers its existence and kills some f__ing important process.

DaVinci is kind of broken on GNU/Linux, it has audio lags and is missing some codecs.

Using a system where they won’t even let you change the wallpaper is some special form of perversion.

In my case, I didn’t see any advantages compared to public trackers. Users of private trackers are supposedly all so elite, but in reality they pay for seedboxes and try to be the first to download literally every new release to at least somehow support the ratio around 1.0.

Guys, while you seed all sorts of junk for the sake of who knows what, I seed really useful content on public trackers and have a ratio of 99.3, which in fact does not affect anything.

There are normal private trackers, of course, such as Milkie, but there are a lot of dead torrents there.

Heroic user here. You can use this feature to apply .exe patches:

Matrix sucks, it always loses some chat messages when the client is closed and sometimes it says something like “hey dude something is wrong with your session, log out and use your security key to get access again and don’t lose everything”.
