emergency dispatchers should not expect this from callers

Why should emergency dispatchers not expect a civil working environment?

I do not condone the response of the emergency dispatcher here but I genuinely want to know why an emergency dispatcher must be required to withstand hostile behavior as part of their job?

Tmux Tutorial 7 years ago

Can we do vertical splits in screen without having to install additional plugins? How?

In praise of xlogo 7 years ago

As a ruler. Want to know how big something on your screen is in pixels? Fire up an xlogo, line it up with one edge of the thing, resize until the opposite edge lines up too, and if your window manager puts up a tooltip during window resizing (which I think all the ones I've ever used do), then you know the size.

I don't see a tooltip that shows the window size. I am using Xfce.

Being a client-server application, it allows to run its backend on the remote machine and connect to it from your local Emacs (or Vim, if you must, with SLIMV).

I have used Slimv and found it quite enjoyable on Vim. Has anyone here tried Vlime? Has anyone tried both? Which one of the two do you recommend?

Xfce 4.14 released 7 years ago

I have been using Xfce for 5 years and it never disappoints me. Light, minimal, and very customizable. I hope it does not undergo radical change at the cost of performance just for the sake of redesign that many other desktop environments have gone through.

I still have 15 year old hardware lying around in my home and they come to a stall while running some of the desktop environments that have modernized themselves. But Xfce continues to run fine on them. It would be great if Xfce remains the way it is for another 15 years so that my old hardware continues to work for me.

Wow! I love Clojure. Unfortunately never got to use at work and of course never built anything serious with it.

Would you like to share more about your experience building a live product with Clojure? Did you face any challenges due to the smaller community and smaller set of libraries compared to something mainstream like Python or Go?

Congratulations on your product launch! I am not your potential customer but as a fellow software developer I would like to know the technology/programming languages driving your product if you don't mind.
