No answers, but a lot of downvoting and toxicity around pROPer QueSTioNS. I got reminded why I haven't gone to that site for a very long time.

(Also if you have some better tutorials for the win32 API than what MS has, then I would appreciate that. No, I don't need a bloated library, that does things, but poorly, and has similar documentation issues with functions everyone assumes are called between the two main ones.)

Supposedly, it was only supposed to happen with high-precision trackpads, but it happens to all my devices. I do however have a graphic tablet and an old PS/2 keyboard connected to my motherboard, but all devices cause such issues on my PC at least. I tried my best to follow MS documentations as closely as possible, so unless there was something missing from there (I've read something about OnInputEvent.Post(), but it might be related to some other API) I don't think I've done something wrong.

I've been using emacs since 2010. I use doom emacs now, but I have written my own overcomplicated config at one point in the past. I've grown used to it, but sometimes when emacs chokes on some input due to its single threaded nature I have time to wonder if there's something better for me out there.

I tried a few IDEs in the past, but none of them really suited me. Therefore, I put some thought into what I'm looking for and was wondering if the community knows something that fits these modest requirements:

• Support for editing any programming language (via LSP or something). I regularly have projects that require editing multiple languages. Or multiple projects of different languages. Though usually it's C, C++, Rust, and Python. As long as these are supported, I can live with it.
• Terminal window is vertical not horizontal. Most of the time I want to see many lines of output rather than long lines.
• No file directory tree (or one that can be hidden away). I find it distracting.
• Can have two files open next two each other split by some vertical separator.
• Common functionality (including opening files) available through the keyboard. GUI is okay for less common functions.
• Ability to edit remote files via ssh as if they were native.
• Built in git GUI client.

Personally, I don't think these are particularly demanding, but surprisingly a lot of IDEs have failed me on the terminal requirement or remote editing. I have all of this in emacs and to me these are must have features.

I think VS code ticks most of these, but the telemetry puts me off.

Any suggestions? I'm okay with paid IDEs.

This is the full story of the vulnerability we have discovered within Visual Studio Code (VS Code) concerning the handling of secure token storage. While designed for isolated storage for each extension, this vulnerability presents a high-risk “Token Stealing” attack. A malicious extension could expose third-party application tokens “securely stored” by your VS Code IDE, posing significant risks to entire organizations.

Because they are object oriented. It's like the expensive body language style of a sexy hijaber girl.

I'm writing an input-output library, and I want an easy way of handling text input without having to rely on stuff on program side, which would be extremely troubling with all the international input support. As long as I can translate them to characters in some way or another, I don't mind any kind of solution.

Commit Mono is an anonymous and neutral programming typeface focused on creating a better reading experience.

Shout out to Paint.net! Great software, but it's almost 20 years old and still doesn't have an Autosave feature. The forums are full of people begging for this feature for years and they still haven't added one. Their response is the classic "you should save more often."

I've started using LibreOffice and it likes to crash on my PC pretty regularly. It's kind of a pain to have to re-open my document every half hour, but it never fails to recover exactly where I left off.

Anyway. Autosave. Good feature.

I was looking at video reviews of git GUI clients. The best ones are pricey and we are two people occasionally editing some webpages for our business website. It’s hosted on GitLab Pages.

Can anyone recommend something straightforward? I’ll be sticking to the terminal but my colleague is new to code repositories.

Git GUI is free, but looks terrible IMO. Sublime have a nice one and it’s not subscription based, but is expensive. We are both on Mac usually.

Another alternative I considered was showing them the three terminal commands I use mainly (add, commit and push) and then let them edit from the file manager itself. But because they’ll be doing this so rarely, it might be easy to forget.

Edit: I’ve settled on a few to try out: sourcetree, fork, gitup and the one by Sublime. The conversation doesn’t have to end there, but thanks for the help. So many great answers here :)

Completely Automated, AI-Powered Newsletter: Top Headlines in Politics, Events, Technology, and Business

Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to announce my newest project - an entirely automated Top Headlines Newsletter, powered by GPT-4. Top news that is picked and written entirely by AI is delivered to your inbox every morning at 9 AM PST.

Our system is** fully automated**, taking care of everything from selecting topics to sending the newsletter. This means that if I were to die today, you would still receive a newsletter every morning.

Our newsletter is integrated with our site, and all stories use 2 left, 2 center, and 2 right wing sources (characterized by AllSidesMedia).

I truly think that AI can revolutionize how we consume news, from mitigating polarization, stopping misinformation spread, and minimizing bias. Please let me know your opinions below!

I have some issues with understanding the documentation on how set tempo events and time divisions work, so it's really not well calculated, and thus causes my code to just zoom through the MIDI file I'm throwing at it. Maybe there's some other chunks I'm not processing at the function that should be processing MIDI events here, so I don't really know.
