CSS is a high level language used very often as a low level one. The styling doesn't use any "cascading" and everything is repeated all the time. In this context minifying can make a difference. But either way it is not among

That's exactly how I keep my quick test C or C++ programs. I like how one can keep all the compilation options in the same file this way.

I personally like busybox httpd, because sometimes it already is there.

I wonder if in a couple of years there will be a lot of old car conversion businesses around. Especially for the most common cars with the whole supply chain of ready made parts. The only real requirement from an old car I can immediately t

I made for myself a rather crude solution, that works very good for me. Basically I run a simple HTTP server with busybox-httpd and serve my own new tab page. The new tab page is a bit hacked EasyMDE (markdown editor) with live preview. It

Simple Tab Groups makes backups to the download directory. I needed them once, to switch between computers, not because it failed on me.

Unfortunately advertised battery life isn't practical. Though maybe with software enchantments it could get there.

Entertaining the thought that it is indeed the case maybe it would make late projects (IMHO most of them) less late.

Aren't most of the libs you mentioned cross-platform or with a very specific use in mind which have direct analogues in Windows world?

If I understood it correctly humans in Star Trek are evolved. We found our way and went ahead as a, more or less, post scarcity society.

Just yesterday I read about Interactive Metronome and thought how it could easily model to various games. I am now quite sure that many games, especially classic ones, could try to get some sort of certification.

+1 to the lol_html HTML rewriter. Basically you can give it a bunch of selectors and code that will do whatever with what is matching. It's very fast and quite nice. It has bindings to Lua and a few more, but not to Python. https:&#x2

Binary files are full of null bytes it is one of the main criteria of binary file recognition. Also large swaths of null bytes are also common, common enough we have sparse files - files with holes in them. Those holes are all zeroes, but a

You say Unicode, but you mean UTF-8. Now for 16 bit Unicode the story is different :)

C++ experience is like bash or Perl experience. You can write something, often not even that bad, but you will be much slower and there will be a lot of cliffs from which you will fall. It is not to boast or sanctify the language. After 15

I like Python, but those version suffixes are a very common problem. But in 2024 python should be python 3 and pip should be python3-pip. This situation is also partially why there is so much python tooling around versions, environments and

My problem with Jenkins is that it very often leads to a pile of Groovy, that no one really understands and then some things can be only done through Jenkins instead of a developer's machine for example. That's also one of the rea

Just today I thought about a hypothetical strace analog for web requests. Something that could trace all the HTTPS requests a program makes without playing around with certificates.

I plan to make one day an alternative to terminals. My idea is not fully fleshed out, but I would like to try to forgo TTYs altogether. Use only pipes, file descriptors and job control. The closest thing I saw to what I have in mind is this

Not long time ago I started making a note taking thing and some of your goals align with mine - minimal, keep your data local. What is different about my thing besides being very crude (EasyMDE and a few CGI programs in C served by BusyBox

If you are gonna do a subshell (cd subdir; ls) you can wrap the whole loop: (cd subdir for name in *; do echo "$name" done) But I prefer: for name in subdir/*; do name="${name#*/}" ec

I think that when someone uses ls instead of a glob it means they most probably don't understand shell. I don't see any advantage of parsing ls output when glob is available. Shell is finicky enough to not invite more trouble. Sam
