[help] Are there tools for documents manipulating that can provide an approximate size of components (text included)? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] Red1C3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah that's what I'm searching for atm :/

My requirements on the format itself are not that high, at best I need to be able to add images and tables, I can reason with any format that will work with that, maybe convert it later if I need to.

Not really no, I need something that I can embed into my application, rather than 3rd party software, my application must work offline too :/

I need to automate the process to use it during an algorithm, this is far from practical.

Yeah my main is issue is trying to figure out how many pages it spans, I've looked at some docx and odt libs, none did seem to have an API related to getting the number of pages nor the height of some component (except for stuff with fixed heights like images...).

The underlying issue is that I want to create an exam paper with the least papers possible per exam, so I guess that at least I should be able to get the height of each question of the exam and rearrange them (using an algorithm) in a fashion that uses less papers.

Long story short, I want to build a system that reorders some components in a document file (be it a docx or odt, I don't have a hard constraint atm).

So my problem input should be a document file, and I need to be able to approximate the number of pages consumed by this document file, I also need to be able to get the height of individual components (like a single paragraph or a table) to have the data I need to rearrange so I can make the document have less pages.

I don't have a hard constraint on the programming language of the tool either (Python preferred), I prefer not embedding LibreOffice into my system.

Also I'm willing to hear other solutions (maybe my input is not the optimal thing I can use for this problem).

Thanks in advance!

I've moved to Arch like a month ago, first installed i3, I think you'll only need xrandr and setup some hooks that set/reset xrandr on the screen plug/unplug, if you ALWAYS have two screens plugged in, you can execute xrandr on X startup and that's all about it

How do I increase tmpfs size correctly? (lemmy.world)
 

I have reinstalled my Fedora 38 on an old laptop with only 4gigs of RAM, problem is it allocated only 2gb of tmpfs, and so far it caused me a ton of problems, it runs out of space pretty quickly, especially when installing big size sw, I've read you can modify the size of it by changing the entry in fstab, but I couldn't find a tmpfs entry there, I've searched the Arch Wiki and found this:

Mounting tmpfs at /dev/shm is handled automatically by systemd and manual configuration in fstab is not necessary.

So I believe this is the case for me, would adding a new entry inside fstab work without any issue?

[help] Doxygen: Is it possible to reference methods and data members in other method's comment block? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] Red1C3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is exactly what I needed, thanks a lot

[help] Doxygen: Is it possible to reference methods and data members in other method's comment block? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone, I've recently picked up doxygen and have been trying to document an old project, nevertheless, I have some class's method and I want to refer in the docs to another class's method and a data member of the same class

Here's the method:

void App::start() { for (unsigned i = 0; i < currentScene->gameObjects.size(); ++i) { currentScene->gameObjects[i]->start(); } timeSinceStart.restart(); }

I want to have a reference to GameObject::start and App::timeSinceStart in App::start doc block

(Sorry not in monospace, my Lemmy client doesn't seem to support it and I don't know the syntax here if one present)

September Plasma 6 update in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Red1C3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Running rootless xorg recently got my Plasma to black screen after a min of launching sometimes, couldn't switch to a tty (I could press the power button and it worked so ig only the GPU driver crashed or something) the problem most likely only aroused when I adjusted sddm settings from Plasma's, which created a new sddm configuration file, removed rootless xorg config and it seems to have fixed it

[Help] making a persistent Debian live install from Windows in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Red1C3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I remember being able to create a persistent drive using Rufus and Linux Mint (Not the Debian edition though) , Rufus has a slider for creating a persistent drive when burning the iso, pretty sure you can find some guide online

Should i switch from systemd to another init system, What are the advantages of using another init system? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Red1C3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure about the security, but recently I've tried runit on a very old laptop with HDD and it took waaay much less to fully boot up than a clean Arch32 with systemd

Null terminator in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Actually….it’s called NUL

Shifted to MX Linux, based on Debian, with Xfce desktop. Looks not bad in my opinion, but let's see how it goes. [@thelinuxEXP](https://mastodon.social/@thelinuxEXP) [@linux@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I thought a WM would be lighter on resources that’s why I picked it up instead of XFCE, it’s doing it’s job well I guess
