[1 minuta čtení] Sonda do světa otevřeného softwaru. Dnes si vyzkoušíme nelineární video editor, zkopírujeme si text pomocí QR kódu, podíváme se na nástroj pro digitalizovaný obsah a řekneme si o repositáři osobních znalostí.

Podporuje spoustu funkcí, které se od video editoru dají očekávat a kontinuálně s vývojem přibývají další.

After nearly two weeks of benchmarking, here is a look at our most extensive Linux x86_64 compiler comparison yet between the latest stable and development releases of the GCC and LLVM Clang C/C++ compilers.
