I've found a few, eg https://www.graspjs.com/ is a Javascript one. I do wonder if there is a multi-language aware one though.

I moved from urxvt-tabbed to alacritty and have tmux config to make it act exactly like urxvt-tabbed (shortcuts, display, and tab navigation/reordering). (Technically the scrollback is different now that I think about it... But I'

[WAL-G]( https://github.com/wal-g/wal-g ) is another alternative, and is sold as a successor to WAL-E, just in case if you haven't heard of it :-)

Using [zsync]( http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ ) is an alternative option from my understanding? I could be technically inaccurate, but my understanding is that it's rsync but with the server serving a metadata file which all

I recently learned about [SQLite archives]( https://www.sqlite.org/sqlar.html ) which feel like an interesting option to consider, especially with your comment around sometimes wanting a "binary key-value format" in

To me it feels like Priceline have already started moving in that direction. There's a Booking.com ad in Australia that is very AirBnB-esque (to the point that my partner thought it was an AirBnB ad until the Booking.com tagline came u

I always find [lrzip]( https://github.com/ckolivas/lrzip ) is under appreciated when it comes to compression discussions; it doesn't suit all circumstances, but it works really well in the ones it does (we're u

100% native Go support for Oracle sounds amazing (I'm reading that as meaning no instantclient sdk requirement, just to confirm (which might be wrong...)). Is there an issue/pr/library for that work? It will very much enter t

I've done this same thing before with Node using [nexe]( https://github.com/nexe/nexe ) and musl. With a little bit of effort it's also possible to build and statically link native modules, eg I've had suc

That doesn't provide 100% of the picture though. Assuming the "largest home / hardware store" means Bunnings, this w/e I returned items to a different store but with a receipt - so that was simple, but different to

Seeing `puppeteer` in the example makes me feel odd about this. Isn't it an official Google project by paid Google employees? Eg I thought Paul Irish was a paid Goole employeee, so it seems odd to suggest donating money to him in the c

It's not an uncommon practice in Australia (from a high level). (Never looked into the legalities though....) One example I know of is that Kathmandu offer a "lifetime warranty" on their goods, but that lifetime is their defi

Setting the `swappiness` value might be of use to you. Setting a lower value (min is 0, default is 60 iirc, max is 100, so above half) reduces the likelihood of the kernel swapping. The lower the number the fuller ram needs to be before the

Quick side note, noticed a small typo on your website: "Ad networks on free comment systems do more then hurt your brand, they also track, spy, and slow down your pages", that "then" should be "than", just fyi

If anything the ABC probably has the opposite slant to what GP was talking about (ie slanted against the government rather than for it). Irrespective, I believe it would be harmful to penalise...

My favourite is to create them and link them, but host them from an internal server so that no one external can access them (eg hosting it at http://internal.example.com/source.map ) - so if anyone tries to load it, either t
