Fair point. Codeberg.org is more GitHub-like and has fewer gamification elements, for what it's worth, but many platforms which aim, more or less, to be GitHub clones, often include these elements without much critical analysis.

Middle click (aka primary selection) is very similar, it's essentially the same interface with a new namespace: https://wayland.app/protocols/primary-selection-unstable-v1

Alright, sure, but you're picking nits and I'm not sure what your underlying point is.

I mean, it facilitates code review as well. You just reply to the email. This is how Linux is developed, for instance.

#sr.ht is an on-topic channel for end-user support and development discussion. Since Docker/k8s has been rejected upstream, it's off-topic for #sr.ht. The channel needs to keep quiet and keep a high signal:noise ratio to make sure

We're going to start looking into k8s and Docker soon as one of the candidates for infrastructure in our new datacenter rollout, but don't hold your breath. It will be a while before this bears any fruit and we may decide it'

Correction: you can do pre-emptive multi-tasking on z80. I wrote an OS to take advantage of this back in the day. It has interrupts, after all. User programs (as it were) can disable interrupts, but the z80 has NMIs as well if your hardware

You'd think that GitLab would pause from chasing after GitHub's tail for at least long enough to question whether or not these features are ethical.

Daniel Stone once pointed out a key difference between libweston and wlroots, two competing approaches for generalizing the work involved in building a Wayland compositor, to explain why wlroots succeeds where libweston does not. He drew th

ffmpeg is much better than gstreamer. gstreamer only has a foothold where glib also has foothold, which says a lot.

LGPL plays no small role in its success. The only reason to be against it is if you wish to appropriate it for yourself.

Good advice. These are all of the right answers.

No, it does not store emails offline by default (though you can configure it to use maildir and use isync to pull emails down, this is what I do in my configuration). In my opinion this is the major design mis-step of aerc which will be cor

aerc is plugged into your surrounding Unix environment more deeply than most mail clients. It has a keybindings system which is like a more generalized version of Vim, plus an embedded terminal emulator and support for piping things through

rjarry is doing a good job of maintaining it now. I will eventually write a new mail client with the benefit of hindsight.

The broken promise line is mostly a joke, I implemented threads for a specific use-case and I don't intend to generalize it. I definitely do not intend to support nonfree operating systems. It was not a mistake to skip them.

No, Hare does not emit barriers around every memory access, but the programmer can add them where they want -- and there are no tricky compiler optimizations which will bite them in the ass when they do like this paper describes. > I mea

Sure is a good thing that you found out that this random pet project is written in C before you shipped it to production and filled it with sensitive medical data! I'm sure you're running Redox anyway, so you would have been safe

First of all, linking to pthreads and hoping for the best is a really dumb idea in Hare. However, the standard library could be forked (or a new one written) which provides good threads support, and Vulcan is one such standard library imple
