Thanks for reading so closely and providing great feedback! You are totally right on problems 1 and 2 being swapped. For problem #5, you caught me taking too large a logical leap and making some assumptions there. Turns out the issue is jus

Thanks for pointing out `package.provided`. It does look like it could be a reasonable way to do this, but I'm not sure how exactly I'd be able to atomically swap GNU coreutils for uutils coreutils using that method? I think I&#x2

Thanks for sharing! I built a similar tool (also in Rust) which allows tracing system and library calls, and could be used for this purpose. I wanted to expose the functionality both as a library and CLI, but for now I’ve only published doc

I was using I2C for the first time, as part of a brushess ESC project, and had to learn the hard way that internal (to the mcu) pull-up resistors would not work at any reasonable (for my needs) communication speed. This post compares the pe

I’ve never used Tridactyl, but I switched from vim vixen to qutebrowser and found the full browser allows a much deeper vim integration and customization than a plugin ever could. I’d highly recommend checking out qutebrowser if you are int
