So where is the app that is going to come out of this regarding the facilitation of exchange and management of change suggestions in written works?

Um...I think that's called a version/revision control system?

Yes...it'd be nice if all participants already knew how to use such a system

Had been using dwm and st for a bit, but due to not figuring out a good way to maintain my local installations of them, decided to look for alternatives.

After trying a few alternatives, came across and temporarily settled on i3 and lilyterm.

On the window manager front, was looking for:

- ability to use the Windows key as a modifier for window manager commands
- configurability without having to recompile source
- tiling support (as well as at least some support for floating)
- focus-follows-mouse support
- ability to support some form of "bar" (e.g. for indicating workspace / tag names, display time, etc.)
- multiple screen support
- ability to have certain windows start up on specific workspaces (or be tagged automatically)

Basically something like dwm, except for the aforementioned issue.  echinus came close but I encountered a few issues that kept me looking.

On the terminal front, was looking for:

- dark background by default
- scrollback buffer (along with decent size) by default
- multilingual support
- easy configuration

Tried xterm, uxterm, and mlterm.  terminator might be a good alternative, but didn't try it long enough.


Any favorites and/or recommendations?


For reference, i3 has a Google TechTalk, decent docs, an irc channel, mailing lists,  stackoverflow-like (askbot) support.

Thinking about the wariness, the following thoughts come up:

- Is the developer competent?
- Has the source been examined appropriately?
- Does the binary for the program behave as advertised with no malice and no serious errors?
- Not thrilled about auth information living in my clipboard
- Not thrilled about storing my auth info digitally -- this just hasn't worked out for me over the years
- Seems like a juicy target of a program for malicious code to modify
...

So where is the app that is going to come out of this regarding the facilitation of exchange and management of change suggestions in written works?

Now where did we put our appropriate timestamps?

I like how the suspicion doesn't seem to be confirmed by the first half of the cartoon

Installation under Arch was straightfoward.

Tried the echo server with some success:

Found the following thread at their forums:

  My Security Analysis of Bitmessage

Quite technical.  IIUC there are some references to other similar independent efforts as well.

Thanks 40hz

The Bitmessage Wiki mentioned the following article:

  Setting Up and Using Bitmessage – An Encrypted Communications Platform Based On Bitcoin


Thought the following (also from the wiki) was worth noting:

Security audit needed

Bitmessage is in need of an independent audit to verify its security. If you are a researcher capable of reviewing the source code, please email the lead developer. You will be helping to create a great privacy option for people everywhere!

I have been using the following handy tip in SmartGitHg recently with some success:

Depending on the conditions, I found it's possible to modify the content of commits older than the most recent [1].

The most recent commit can be made available for editing via the "Undo Last Commit" command.  Sometimes it's possible to use the "Reorder Commits" command to make an older commit the most recent commit.  Once that is done, the "Undo Last Commit" command can be applied to it, modifications performed, and a new replacement commit can be created.  It may then be possible to reorder the new commit back into its original position (so-to-speak).

When this works I find it simpler than doing git rebase -i <sha-of-parent-commit-of-interest> from the command line.


[1] Strictly speaking the commit isn't being modified -- a new sequence of commits is created with appropriate content, but I assume most folks interested in doing this sort of thing know this already

Thanks for the headsup, 40hz.

But thanks is really due Heise Online's The H-Open site.

As they seem to have feeds I'll give one a try for a while.  Thanks for the tip

I'm not familiar with this, but is it possible you are referring to the following?

Thanks for the headsup, 40hz.

@mouser: in the latest release notes of SSC, there is a note:

[BugFix] Updated ScDx ScreenshotCaptor DirectX capture addon (separate download).

Where might I download this from, please?

May via a link at the following?

I am wary of programs that generate passwords / passphrases.

The following seemed pretty decent:

Thanks for the newsletter

Thanks for reporting back!  Glad to hear that it seems to be working out 

  But yet they outlaw DDT......

I smell a...arrrrrggggghhhhh!

He he -- I use my digital scale daily to measure my tea leaves

dang!  i didn't realize the tea drinkers do that.  cool.

Gotta be careful with powerful stuff that's ingested regularly, right?

There is also another non-retired analog scale here that can do calibration / zero-ing -- takes more time but doesn't require batteries

Great stuff!

Seems unfortunate -- I found it a convenient way to get apks (older versions too) sometimes...for example:

[It’s necessary to type the first letters of the desired action in order to launch it.]

A nitpick in the quote...

Many application launchers of today’s Linux desktops are made for people using their keyboard mainly. Launchers like Gnome-Do, Synapse, Kupfer, Unity’s Dash or Gnome-Shell’s Activities are designed for keyboard users. It’s necessary to type the first letters of the desired action in order to launch it.

AFAICT, this is not quite true.

I use kupfer, and typing 'fox' brings up Firefox as the first candiate.  Also, I presume the author of the above text didn't mean "action" only, at least not in kupfer's case (as, IIUC, the action is what's in the second pane, and I hardly ever choose a non-default action...)

Having said that, the matching doesn't seem as nice as what's provided by FARR's non-contiguous matching (at least not by default).

However, I agree about the importance of being able to get to things without knowing names (or portions of names).

Recently got a replacement digital scale after deciding that it was time for the old one to move on:

[attachthumb=1]

Some features:

• Powered by 2 AA batteries -- less dependency on non-rechargeables
• Largish LCD display for ease of reading
• Tare / calibration / zero-ing functionality -- post and pre power-on
• Supposedly can measure at accuracies of +/- 1 grams (up to 2kg)
• Looks easier to clean than the white plastic of the older unit
• Can be hung on wall (there is a hole on the back of the unit)
• "Level" indicator -- for tilt?

Quite happy with it so far
