Another release of the Qmmp player has been presented. The player is developed using the Qt library, features a modular structure, and comes with two user interface options. The new release mainly focuses on enhancing existing capabilities and supporting new versions of libraries. Key changes include code adjustments in line with updates in Qt 5.15; sleep mode blocking; and transitioning ListenBrainz support to a 'native' API with […]
Today, I will share with you a story. A story about the evolution of computing and the emergence of remote workplaces from ancient times to the present day. The Development of IT The main takeaway from the history of IT is… Of course, that IT develops in a spiral. The same solutions and concepts that were discarded decades ago are gaining new meaning […]
The release of the QEMU 5.0 project has been announced. As an emulator, QEMU allows you to run a program compiled for one hardware platform on a system with an entirely different architecture, for example, running an application for ARM on an x86-compatible PC. In virtualization mode, the performance of code execution in an isolated environment approaches that of a native system due to direct execution of instructions on the CPU and utilizing […]
The elementary OS project provided users, who subscribed through GitHub Sponsors for $50 a month, the opportunity to request personal assistance from lead developers once a month to address their queries. However, if the solution takes more than one hour, the developers will only provide some output and express gratitude for the sponsorship. Up to this point, the monetization of elementary […]
The first version of the cross-platform dual-pane file manager Camelot, codenamed 'Tintagel', has been released. The application is written in C# 8 (.Net Core 3.1) and supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. This version implements basic functionality: core file operations, support for multiple tabs on the pane, clipboard operations, and more. Plans for further development of the project can be viewed here. Source: […]
The table and index bloat effect is widely known and is not limited to Postgres. There are 'out-of-the-box' methods to combat it, such as VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER, but these lock tables during operation and therefore cannot always be used. This article will cover some theory on how bloat occurs, how it can be addressed, […]
Since the previous post (the switcher in the "proof of concept" stage) received quite a bit of constructive feedback (which is nice), I've continued to spend my free time developing the project. Now I want to take a bit of your time… The second step will be somewhat unconventional: a proposal/discussion about the configuration design. It turns out that normal programmers find configuring all these knobs dreadfully boring. To avoid […]
The discontinuation of support for xneur has caused me some distress over the past six months (with the introduction of OpenSUSE 15.1 on my desktops: when xneur is enabled, windows lose focus and amusingly flicker in time with keyboard input). "Oh, damn, I started typing in the wrong layout again" — this happens excessively in my work. It doesn't add any positivity. To […]
It has previously been reported that Microsoft has slowed the pace of development for the Windows 10X OS and postponed the release of the folding tablet Surface Neo and other dual-screen devices (running Windows 10X) to 2021. However, according to the same sources, Microsoft plans to use Windows 10X for traditional single-screen devices. Recently, such "traditional" devices […]
The new release of the decentralized file system IPFS 0.5 (InterPlanetary File System) has been introduced, creating a global versioned file storage network in the form of a P2P network made up of participating systems. IPFS combines ideas previously implemented in systems like Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web, and resembles a unified BitTorrent "swarm" (peers participating in the sharing), exchanging Git objects. To access the global FS […]
The developers of the JavaScript engine V8 have introduced the wasm-decompile utility, which allows for the decompilation of the intermediate binary representation of WebAssembly into a readable pseudo-language resembling JavaScript and C. The proposed pseudo-language is significantly easier to understand and more suitable for manual analysis than the text representation of WebAssembly in the ".wat" format, which is closer to assembly than to high-level languages. This decompilation fully reflects the Wasm representation where possible. […]
The release of the web browser qutebrowser 1.11.0 has been announced, providing a minimal graphical interface that does not distract from content viewing, and a navigation system in the style of the Vim text editor, entirely based on keyboard shortcuts. The code is written in Python using PyQt5 and QtWebEngine. The source code is distributed under the GPLv3 license. The use of Python does not affect performance, as rendering and content parsing […]
