Native compilation has been in emacs since 28.1. AFAIK native GTK should be unrelated to macOS since macOS version uses its own cocoa frontend

It’s a productivity tool. It also takes months or years to master a professional video editing software like Adobe Premier, or 3D graphics software like Blender. People take time to learn because it’s worth it.

Regarding terminal emulators, I believe that by "fast" people usually mean "low latency" instead of "high throughput". Apparently alacritty has a good performance on thoughtput according its benchmark with vteb

I think it's more appropriate to say Arch is "simple" instead of "minimal". It does not sacrifice features. It does things in the simpliest way.

By deliverability issues, I believe you mean outbound mails? I have the same concern but I don’t think that’s related to the cloudflare though. Its only about using gmail SMTP server to send custom domain emails without correct signing

Curl is great because it’s stable and universally available. But for interactive CLI usage, I always find its command line options non intuitive - take this for example, I don’t think I can really remember the difference between -d and —dat

IIRC Tailscale tries to keep their cost at minimum with high NAT traversal success rate so that DERP servers are rarely required. But this approach would always require using DERP servers which would increase tailscale’s bandwidth cost a lo

This got me wondering that, in practice, how hard would it be to spoof source IP in the internet? I assume it requires some controls on an Tier-1 ISP network (so that the the spoofed package would not be filtered by upstream)? Though appare
