I was out on a grocery run at Fei Long Market yesterday and noticed more vendors on 8th Ave than I remembered seeing before. There were several trucks selling skewers, bingfen, and fresh OJ, but the one that caught my eye was a jian bing cart. It blew away every other jian bing I've had in NYC. It was hot, crunchy, stuffed with fresh herbs, and not too sweet and sugary, and had a kick of heat from the chili oil. It was $10 for a standard order and you could get additional meat for another $5. The standard one already included pork floss and hot dogs and was plenty satisfying.

I couldn't find any of these carts listed on Google Maps though a few are visible on street view. Not sure if th

"I don't understand. Why don't animation studios switch to Blender/Houdini/3dsMax/[software of choice]? My [software of choice] is cheaper/better/cooler/has more twitter followers than Maya does. I love animating in [software of choice] - what does Maya have to offer? Why keep using it?"

You've heard variants of this question time and time again. And the answer is not straightforward because it is more about the technical plumbing than how sexy and fun it is to use. It involves aspects of the software that tech artists, riggers, and plugin devs need to know, but even professionally educated artists may never learn about. I know Houdini and Maya fairly in depth, and I've built characte

I often write links in org-agenda that I would like to expand after following the link. I tried to do this by using a hook as follows but was not successful.

(add-hook 'org-follow-link-hook 'outline-show-entry)

Running M-x outline-show-entry or Mx outline-show-subtree manually after I have browsed to the link works fine, but the hook doesn't seem to get the timing right. Does anyone know how I could get the behavior I want?

A few things I've noticed since upgrading this morning.

• Krunner crashes are gone (This is HUGE deal for me)
• System tray icons look much nicer
• Kscreen can figure out my monitors by itself
• My boot scripts are now working properly
• Graphics for the system tray, activity switcher and many other places are improved
• Faster and smoother overall, especially with mouse hover popups and activity switches

Thanks so much to the KDE, Plasma and Kubuntu teams for making my desktop take such a huge leap forward!

I have just set up org-capture from Chrome using with a tweaked version of Ultimate Org Capture chrome extension using Sacha Chua's instructions and the org-protocol documentation.

It works nicely, but to get that yak baby-smooth I'd like to make one more modification. Org-protocol supports two commands: org-capture and org-store-link. The former will open a buffer that asks me to do some editing before filing the item. The latter seems to

Certain legal procedures are required by r/linuxcirclejerk when incorporating legally significant content posted by other people. r/linuxcirclejerk prefers that a contributor files a copyright assignment for large posts. The most common forms are an assignment for a specific posts, an assignment for all future posts, and an employer disclaimer, if an employer or school owns OC created by the contributor.

If a contributor is reluctant to sign a copyright assignment for a post, a copyright disclaimer to put the post in the public domain is acceptable as well. However a disclaimer cannot be applied to future work, it has to be repeated each time you post about your new tiling window manager

I have a Logitech mouse with more buttons than I would ever use for most purposes. Unfortunately binding mouse buttons to shortcuts has been on the wishlist for over a decade! There is however a straightforward workaround in X-windows called xbindkeys. These instructions should work for most systems. Remember to add xbindkeys to your autostart list. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts

Keybindings can be configured in ~/.xbindkeysrc, which I've reproduced here:

# Previous Activity
"qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/plasmashell invokeShortcut 'previous activity'"
   b:8

# Next Activity
"qdbus org.kde.kgl

I am a hobbyist developer for Krita, an open source drawing program. Currently it lacks a functioning intelligent scissors / magnetic lasso tool, and I would like to write one. My first thought was to port the algorithm used in GIMP, but their website describes the tool as producing poor results. The original implementation of intelligent scissors by Mortensen and Barrett dates all the way back to 1992, surely there are better methods today! I am comfortable with statistics and optimization methods, but new to computer vision: my goal is to have fun and write something neat.

I looked at the book [Computer Vision

I am trying to define a command git commit-to to automatically commit unstaged changes to a new branch pointing to the same upstream branch as the current one.

Update: thanks to u/felipec for the solution:

"!f() { git stash; 
        git checkout -b $1 origin/`git rev-parse --abbrev-ref @{upstream}`; 
        git stash pop; 
        git add -u; 
        git commit; }; f"

The following code defines a function switchDesktop which will toggle back and forth between two virtual desktops in Windows 10. I bind this to Win-` which I also map to one of the thumb buttons on my mouse.

switchedDesktop := false
switchDesktop() 
{
  global switchedDesktop
	if switchedDesktop
	{
		SendEvent ^#{Right}
		switchedDesktop := false
	}
	else
	{
		SendEvent ^#{Left}
		switchedDesktop := true
	}
}
