But when using it on the cloud a LLM can consult 50 websites, which is super fast for their datacenters as they are backbone of internet, instead you'll have to wait much more on your device to consult those websites before giving you the LLM response. Am i wrong?

Gitlab/Github should add a feature that any submitted merge requests automatically emails the last author of the code lines being modified, to let them know about the MR and provide any feedback if needed.

Or maybe someone has wrote a bot/Git hook for that?

Long time ago, HTTrack came very handy for me at work. We created a PHP/Mysql application to store data for a census of industrial sites and related info. Some day my boss tell me the customer wants this census being delivered to them in a auto-startup CD-ROM which was very fashionable at that time, I used HTTrack to download every page of our PHP database and all be browseable offline from the CD-ROM, the auto-startup just launch the browser at the index page.

Very handy.

Oh, this brings back memories of my first steps with Gentoo linux, when I failed at setting up the display (XFree86 back then) or configure it properly, I remember browsing Gentoo wiki pages with Lynx to bring it back.

[Thanks to be opened for suggestions]

- One major improvement would be to provide a button to "View blame prior to this change" like Gitlab blame does (screenshot below):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BjXpQNlFgHKIJz-5SmJIxYB6fGD...

Because c++ codebases nowadays are full of commits that just reformat or refactors code (clang-format, update to smart pointers, update to new api, etc) and so if I just want to find out the original commit which introduced that codeline (because I want to know the _original_ motivation for it), it means in Gitlab I just need to click 3 or 4 times on said button to skip all such formats/refactor commits until I get to the one I'm interested in. That is easy in Gitlab, while SublimeMerge just let me click on the SHA of the last change for the codeline, and from there I'm lost I don't know how to keep "blaming back" like Gitlab easily let me.

- In the same vein of easy skipping blame changes until the one you want, it would help a lot supporting the git config setting blame.ignoreRevsFile:

Thanks and long life to Sublime!

Another happy customer of Sublime Text here, but still not dare to take the step to buy SublimeMerge, I'm pretty well served in console for my git use, except for 'git blame' that I prefer to do in a UI tool, but SublimeMerge blame support is awful.

For exploring the inners of a PDF you also have RUPS[1] which is open source and easily installed in Linux through flathub[2].

New comment by nbenitezl in "Fixing a bug in Google Chrome as a first-time contributor"

nbenitezl — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 14:05:44 +0000

In 2013 I also worked as first time contributor on a bug that affected the linux version of Firefox.

Firefox took 2 hours to compile in my pentium dual-core Intel laptop, it was in August so warm inside the house, the 2 hours compiling at closer 100% cpu made the laptop halt due to excessive temperature before finishing. I also recall the build failed because of out-of-memory error (ram exhausted) I had 2GB and had to expand to 4 GB or something like that.

After overcoming the struggles I was finally happy as the fix was committed.

Not what you're asking for, but something that helps with displaying in mobile devices is removing margins, you can use this open source app for that https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.arminstraub.krop .

Not true, PDF standard has concept of text flow, that's why when you highlight horizontally from a column all the way to next column then all text in the first column is highlighted.
