This is probably meant for tiny script-like programs rather than multiple dependent source files. E.g., I've seen standalone C programs with `#!/usr/bin/tcc -run` shebangs before.

See the video in the OP at timestamp 5:00 to 5:20. The review from The Verge touched on it as well; essentially, at the end of the day, it's still a bunch of displays showing you camera feeds of the real world. And both displays and ca

BusyBox provides a complete set of POSIX utilities and more in a single minimal binary; there are lots of embedded systems with pretty much just BusyBox installed, although I'm not sure how common it is to compile it with httpd. GP lin

Note that uBlock Origin is not supported[1] on the iOS version of Orion. Rather, the ad blocking you might have attributed to it is actually from the built-in ad blocker[2], which is quite good but unfortunately not as sophisticated as an a

Something along the lines of `socat readline exec:<cmd>` should work, e.g., `socat readline exec:cat`. I tend to prefer using rlwrap, though; socat has a tendency to mess up your terminal if you SIGINT it. rlwrap does its job extremel

Do you have any specific examples to cite? The snippets are meant to be run in POSIX-compliant shells like dash/yash/ash/etc, not just Bash in compatibility mode. In fact, there used to be a section which listed workarounds[1

Two monitors as a standard being the assumption. Lots of people don't have 'em, especially back when workspaces were first gaining traction. Also note that it's not particularly practical to do intensive window shuffling on t

The OSI definition for open source includes the right to use, modify, and redistribute it. Of course, not everyone necessarily agrees with that definition, but one would typically use the term "source-available" for code that is p

Shells such as dash and ash do not support it, which are the most common test cases for POSIX scripts. It should also be noted that pre-increment itself is considered optional by POSIX, although += should work.

On iOS, you can type in the clipboard section. On Firefox on Android, it seems to work except for backspace. Chrome on Android doesn't seem to work at all, though. EDIT: Hacker's Keyboard has an option to have a notification to br
