I consider these to be reminders that even with a state-of-the-art testing suite and 100 % branch coverage, bugs still find a way, heh.

It's pretty stable, too. In a few years I've been using it, there were just two major issues. One could be fixed by removing an addon, and the other was fixed within a day.

It wouldn't be as infuriating if Snap weren't such an awful product, both for the user and for the developer. Just off the top of my head: 1. Sometimes it will warn you when uninstalling a snap will break other snaps; most of th

Have we ever found out, why did Mozilla actually remove PWA support from Firefox? Apart from the buzzwordey stuff like “focusing on delivering real value to our users” that the C-levels have been spouting. Between this and their abandon

The moment you define “rich people”, though, all people who fit that definition will suddenly transfer all of their assets to their spouses and immediately divorce them, heh. Assessing a person's actual worth is not an easy task. N

Is there any documentation with actual examples of using it? The “Usage” section only mentions Bash completion, the Wiki is empty, there is no doc/ directory, and the rest of the README seems to be about setting custom commands (which

Another possible extension of that design is using error types for HTTP codes. Something like: type HTTPError struct { Err error Code int } And then, with a couple of wrappers like this: func errorNotFound

To be fair, if you need conditionals in target bodies, you're probably better off putting the body into a separate file as a shell script. And if you need conditionals in macros, there's the old macro-in-macro approach: DEBUG
