Linguist is, in short, the library used on GitHub to detect blob languages and generate language breakdown graphs. It takes the list of languages it knows from languages.yml and uses a number of methods to try and determine the language used by each file, and the overall repository breakdown.
Most "advanced" users will always recommend using keyboard shortcuts whenever possible, no matter which system or application you are using. In this post I'm going to touch the process of launching and switching applications.
JupyterLab has quickly become the standard for doing Data Science in Python. Arguably, the main reason for this is the notebook format, an idea introduced back in 1986 in the amazing Wolfram Mathematica.
But the fact is there are just no decent alternatives.
A while ago I covered on Using Jekyll, Lightbox, and GitHub pages how to use includes in Jekyll/Liquid to simplify the process of adding images to your posts.
Back in 2017, support for status icons, pictured below, was removed from GNOME Shell (v3.26).
This has been a controversial topic (as anything in the GNU/Linux community, really) and probably will always be, but in my opinion there's no point on discussing about it.
I've been using Antergos/Arch Linux for a couple of years after switching from Ubuntu GNOME, and although I don't dislike the shipped graphical GRUB theme (depicted below), I always found it unnecessary and in some resolutions the background image is stretched.
So today I was making quite time consuming simulations in R, and I was wondering if there was a way to know when the simulations were finished so I could have a look at the results.
One of the main reasons people point out to use a custom domain is that people will take your website more seriously. I personally just did it because it's relatively cheap and because I wanted to learn on the process.
On this post I will try to explain shortly my (mis)adventures on setting up my own custom domain.
Lightbox is a script used to overlay images on the current page. Its implementation in a pure HTML is fairly easy if you follow the documentation (I used it long ago for a secondary school project a friend and I did back in 2010).
My idea was to see how this could be implemented in Jekyll using plug-ins or whatever.
There are many good books to learn LaTeX, like LaTeX and Friends by Marc R. C. van Dongen (my favourite) or the LaTeX Guide from Wikibooks. But sometimes you find that they go either too deep into technical details, or they don't really scratch the surface of what LaTeX can offer.
That's why I decided a couple of weeks ago to write my own book about LaTeX.
