It's not sad if a good Stallman-free alternative exists. Like tmux.

Apple controls the OS and permission system. They could just automatically reject all permission requests with an empty/short reason.

The problem with the macOS "just drag it to Applications" approach is the uninstall. Deleting the folder will not delete user data (what if it's damaged?), and it won't delete any system stuff the app created on the firs

I’m pretty sure an app as mediocre as this would take up less code in React, or even plain JavaScript. The UI is a single table and a few inputs and buttons, and its main way of communicating with the outside world is message boxes - trivia

Facebook does not really use GraphQL in their public apps. The apps call named queries defined server side, so GraphQL is just a glorified RPC mechanism, not a query language.

Bleeding-edge is fine, but shipping a beta C compiler seems a bridge too far. Even Arch does not ship GCC 15 yet.

Fedora releases are supported for about 13 months after release. They could live with an older version of GCC for a year.

Homebrew packages are on the order of tens of megabytes. Plain old HTTPS downloads will complete faster than setting up a BitTorrent download. Using BitTorrent is also a great way to get banned from company-owned laptops.

You should only be using Homebrew for installing software that happens to be written in Python, not dependencies for your own Python projects. If you do that, the Python version does not matter, it's just whatever version is required t

Discord is not built on IRC. It's a completely custom, proprietary thing. "Servers" are not separate machines, as they are in IRC land, they're just groups of channels.

It’s both. Some domains do not allow WHOIS privacy (.us is one of them), some have it built-in, while most don’t care and registrars can fill in with fake data.

1. Is the Rust version really faster enough to warrant the extra complication? Is it faster in real-life code, not only in synthetic benchmarks? 2. I would expect `pip install whenever` to give me the pure-Python version, and `pip install w

Extras only affect dependencies, you can’t have different codebases for them. An issue was closed as not planned: https://github.com/ariebovenberg/whenever/issues/158

This is clickbait. They will remove the Remote Desktop app from the Microsoft Store. They are not removing Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe), which is what most people think of when they hear "Remote Desktop".

PowerShell has long commands and short aliases, but the aliases can still shadow executables, e.g. the `sc` alias for `Set-Content` shadows `sc.exe` for configuring services. And you only notice when you see no output and weird text files i

A plain ASCII document is a valid UTF-8 document, but I agree that special support for ^Z is pointless for a file format invented 20+ years after the demise of MS-DOS. Handling ^Z would probably be MS-DOS’ job anyway.
