My comment was suggesting that it's more than just a "lightweight" HTTP/websockets/MQTT library. The majority of the things I list are optional features of the core library (rather than examples) enabled by cmake fl

HTTP, websockets, MQTT, ... plus the kitchen sink it seems: - JSON parsing - DNS, DHCP and NTP clients - SOCKS5 proxy support - DBUS client and server - Threadpools - SSH - JPEG and PNG decoding - HTML and CSS parsing -

You can also use Gimp via a RDP or VNC session, which will give much better performance on low-bandwidth connections, since those protocols do damage detection, only sending updates of what's changed, and (lossy) compression. I'm

Isn't summing RSS going to end up with the wrong numbers? My understanding is that RSS is memory allocated (heap + stack) + executable pages inclusive of shared libraries. i.e, if 10 processes load libfoobar which is 10MB of code, each

The problem is that `s.index` with an `offset` equal to `limitedBy` returns non-nil index, rather than nil, but that index is invalid (out of bounds) and causes the program to blow up... let s = "Swift" print(s.inde
