Enabling 2560x1440 under Linux (tested with Ubuntu 13.10 on an Asus Zen Prime UX31A with Intel HD 4000 and a Iiyama XB2779QS)

Try 55 Hz if possible:

% xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_55.00" 220.812 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1478 -hsync -vsync
% xrandr --addmode HDMI1 "2560x1440_55.00"

or 30 Hz otherwise:

% xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_30.00" 146.25 2560 2680 2944 3328 1440 1443 1448 1468 -hsync +vsync
% xrandr --addmode HDMI1 "2560x1440_30.00"

The best explanation of Python decorators I’ve ever seen. (An archived answer from StackOverflow.)

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.


Q: How can I make a chain of function decorators in Python?


If you are not into long explanations, see [Paolo Bergantino’s answer][2].

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
