  1. CW: Rant about bugs in Gnome

    Seriously #gnome don't you test your new apps?
    1. "Papers" the new PDF viewer prints a single landscape page blatantly horizontal on the piece of paper, cutting off half of the contents, wasting paper and ink. While I can fix that *manually* for each print in the print dialog this was *never* an issue with the older Evince.
    2. "Loupe" the new image viewer supposedly can rotate images. Well, it has a nice rotation animation but then the image snaps right back. Opened in "Eye of Gnome" everything works just fine 🤦‍♂️
    3. Nautilus also had smaller issues after big updates, sometimes not refreshing after file operations or getting stuck with cut and paste.

    What happened to form follows function?

    I'm done for today, don't even feel like reporting those bugs. (If anyone does: thank you, feel free to share the link ❤️ )

    I'll switch back to evince&eog for now. They are still working fine thankfully.

  2. - Often graphic tablets have a touch strip or ring but on plasma wayland there is no way to assign shortcut to touch rings - bug report - bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4

  4. - No way to fine tune pressure curve of the tablet, various people draw with varying pressure some people draw with heavy hand some use light touch, configuring pressure curve helps artist to get nice lines. - bug report -

  5. - No way to create multiple profile of the tablet configuration, so that artist can choose different configuration like shortcuts , pen pressure etc for different workflow like inking a comic or doing vector art - Bug report -

  7. do you work on an up-and-coming competitor/repacement for Unity?

    for Bandcamp?

    for YouTube?

    would your system benefit from having an expert focused on improving its perf and resource usage?

    I can jump in fast as a paid remote contractor. I solve and ship

  8. does you biz or open source project have a codebase that could benefit from a refactor to boost performance?

    involves Golang, C, Python or Java?

    on Linux or Mac?

    have budget for professional?

    can they work remotely?

    REACH OUT

    bonus points: if the system involves the backend for a modern AI, like a popular/leading LLM

  9. have a codebase that could benefit from a performance tuning pass?

    is it in C, Python, Java or Go? (ideally Go)

    on Linux or Mac?

    have $$$ budget to pay a professional?

    they can work remotely?

    ping me!

    I have avail to jump in & deliver for you fast. I can typically improve latencies & throughput, bring down host load & ultimately make your UX more snappy, & bring DOWN your hosting bills!

  10. heard that Twitter is DDoSing itself (?)

    This is a good opportunity to announce I specialize in software perf & scalability. Reducing hosting costs. And parachuting in to solve hard bugs or otherwise "rescue" sites or projects farked up by a prior approach

  11. Why is key in development cycles? Because it can detect nasty or happening only under certain circumstances.

    The technique just revealed a regression in fast-check 3.6.x, now patched in 3.6.3.

  12. #Data4GoodMonday
    Last week was all about #regressions in general, today is all about the #regression line! 👉🧵

    Questions about #statistics? Then feel free to post them in the thread! 👏

    #data4good #datascience

    1️⃣ The regression line shows the relationship between independent (IV) & dependent #variable (DV):
    - How much does the DV change when the IV increases one unit?
    - What is the estimated value of DV for a given value of the IV?
    👉 But where does the straight line come from?
