>a simple game like that taking >100MB would make me suspicious Nah. Games often feature a bunch of textures and video and sound files. Bad compression or too high resolution on those is quite common, which is why games _are_ often th

You mean actually reading dirstate[0] or just the branch/bookmark files? We also do the latter, but dirstate format isn't easily readable just with shell builtins (lots of fixed-length fields with NUL-byte padding, also we don&#x2

Mercurial's startup time is the reason why, for fish, I've implemented code to figure out if something might be a hg repo myself. Just calling `hg root` takes 200ms with hot cache. The equivalent code in fish-script takes about 3.

Turns out it's a wash. On my arch machine the uncompressed image is 27M, with lz4 it's 14M. Both take around 10s to desktop according to `systemd-analyze` (which includes 3s bootloader timeout). Though I did figure out that for so

Faster decompression. These things are loaded on every boot, which needs to be fast. That includes both the time to load them into RAM and to decompress them, and it's possible that gzip still wins on that. Personally, I keep my initrd

Apparently zsh actually does something similar by default. See http://zsh.sourceforge.net/FAQ/zshfaq03.html .

In this case, what most likely happens is that the first result is offered as the suggestion - i.e. the greyed-out part in the commandline. To accept that, press right-arrow (with the default bindings, of course).

>2. Ability to search history from a partial command like `git checkout`, where up arrow would step backward from the present. We have that feature, and it's enabled by default. Just type the partial commandline and press up-arrow.

Note that the reason bash works here is actually a bit ugly. Like fish, it'll interpret an unquoted asterisk (sorry HN formatting) as the glob character. So it tries to match pathnames to `host:directory/`. Only the default bash b

Hi, another fish dev here! We're open to a lot of things (except "make it fully POSIX-compatible"). We're still trying to not massively break everything, though. The sort of things we've discussed include: - Not exp

Wouldn't it already help if apt-key printed the list of keys it imported instead of the absolutely superfluous "OK"?

I'd imagine the use is that it sometimes makes pronouns more useful. Substituting "he" and "she" for gendered articles: "I have he keyboard and she rock. He is large and she is grey" Without that, I'd

As a german, I see this as a step in the wrong direction. The sharp S is a PITA to begin with, so I'd rather abolish it completely. Now there's a whole bunch of complications coming from this - how do I type this? To type lowercas

Does that _tell_ you what it's compressed with but then not decompress it? That's the absolute worst way to do it!

There might still be use cases left for gzip, but this article is specifically about software tarballs. And in that case, I have to agree with it.
