I want one!

The first question is: is this making me happy (could I live without the $10k).

Just interested, what language is the codebase in?

Did I miss the part where they mention the 10 large nuclear plants needed to power this new operation? Where's all the power coming from for this?

Looks really cool, would be great to try it out. How much will you likely be charging for this product?

Accept that you're human, accept the ebb and flow. Recognise when you're in your productive mode, use it. When you're not, don't beat yourself up, do the lighter side of what you need to do. Take your foot off the accelerator and just be. When you stop trying to control yourself like a machine, you'll start to win.

Who wrote this? "A fourth of the power", what happened to a quarter of the power?

Downloaded 'cogno' (0.15.0) and 'cogno-nightly' (0.16.0-nightly) deb packages, installed and proceeded through the wizard. In both versions I couldn't select a theme, and I couldn't select a font as there wasn't an option to do that. Once I hit the 'finish' screen, I clicked 'finish' repeatedly and nothing happened. I couldn't use the terminal. Bad times. Sorry.

Trust your partner knows what they are doing. Give input but step back on decision making. Your child is going to become your entire universe, and for the first 5 months (as fare as I know- I'm a new dad too), you and your partner are the only thing that matters to them.

Give them both lots of love, pull energy from seeing your baby's little features- their delicate little hands, wisps of hair, milk drunkness, chubby cheeks!

Get skin on skin contact as soon as you can, wrap your arms around your little one- you are their protector and nothing will hurt them with you around.

Be prepared for some dark thoughts; usually centred around something/somebody hurting or taking your child away. I think this is probably normal.

Give your partner support and put little things in the calendar each week- like a TV show the three of you can watch- its making the mundane special that will keep your morale up when you're operating on 3 hours sleep.

Solid advice here!

Test a few out and see what fits with your needs from a text editor.

I'm not attacking him, merely setting some of his assumptions straight.

He's assumed that the _person_ or _people_ involved with implementing any of the hundreds of features in this software set out to deliberately do it wrong or to a poor standard.

He's assumed that writing software at any level is easy and happens without compromises. Spoiler: there are always compromises, and most of the time, they're between a rock and a hard place.

Rather than put effort into fixing or attempting to correct, even on an advisory level (filing a bug report perhaps?), he's bashing the software- but its _my_ responsibility to educate him that there's another way?

He's not bringing anything to the table that's new. He's not pushing the discussion forward on how we can make software better.

I wonder how the narrative changes if he posted that he fixed just one tiny bug, or improved the app's navigation- and was able to remark that it was painful and provided a kernel of an idea for how we can improve it? Or that it was easy and he's now working all of his spare time to improving the project further?

Maybe he should start writing the 'new open-source office suite' and let us know how we could have done x, y, z features differently with his new found vast experience in writing software. Or maybe spend a million dollars and see how much software development that buys- 5, 10, 20 developers for a single year, what would this new office suite be like?

You don't get to bash for free, without someone bashing you back.

Your post is shitting on the project.

You have no idea the amount of effort, dedication or self-motivation required to produce software, therefore the discussion can never go past your personal beef with what it cannot do, versus what you feel it should be able to do.

You're bringing nothing to the table that is new or innovative to the discussion of quality in open source software, only a bash on a project that you feel should be better than it is, based on your non-existent experience of software development.

Discussing open source software isn't forbidden, but trashing the efforts of others when you're not offering to do something about it, with either effort or finance from yourself, I feel, is.

You want to see something better? Start writing it today, come back in six months and then report on how you found the experience, let's see how far you got. Perhaps you might be a little less critical of people's free, hell, even salaried, effort and time.

There's definitely something about walking a mile in another man's shoes for you to do here.

Step up, pony up, or shut up.

No pressure of competition to improve it so it stays shit.

What were the secrets? There's none in the article. Its a 2 minute read... I'm confused. What is this?

AText for Mac.

I only wish there was something similar for Linux.

Keep a diary date and time stamped with the terrible things they do, so that when I’ve had enough I can take that to their superiors or for legal advice if needed.

Files.

Tour is not working in Chromium or Opera on Linux.

GitHub should give this guy a bunch of cash and make this an option in the app.

Pick a users?

Nice app though.

Hi,

I've tried to escape the tyranny of NCurses to be honest. NCurses is procedural in nature and I wanted to try to provide an OOP interface as my solution. I'm also experimenting with events which I think make implementing GUI apps with this framework much easier and flexible.

Thank you, will announce there a little later today :-)

Just hangs. No result.

Nice one!

Are you posting the source anywhere?

Looks really good. Let me be the first here to request an Android version!

A great idea, but I personally think it is good to have these contributions visible to anyone who is viewing my profile- demonstrating that I'm someone whom one would like to work with.

And death, everywhere, if you fail to look after yourself properly. Prevention is free.

Really nice!
