Vendoring should be the norm, not the special case. Something like this ought to be an essential part of all package managers, and I'm thinking here that the first ones should be the thousands of devs cluelessly using NPM around the wo

For some reason the Quality check was always failing with an error 403, even though I had followed the link to create a Google API key and passed it as an env var to the Docker container. Ended up cloning the project to see by myself what U

They are so close, though! I think one lesson Python took is that it's better, even mandatory, to use venv and install stuff in isolated containment. This is exactly what Node/NPM does: "npm instal" creates a new dir, &q

I just knew the basics. So I was just following commands from stack overflow or similar. Silly me, thinking that it would work logically like other languages do! Later I ended up learning about all that stuff with venvs and whatnot, not to

I had my Python and pip installed from distribution packages. One day I needed to build something from source, but it needed Meson... Ok installed Meson also from my distro packages! But no, the project required a newer Meson version. Ok le

This idea resonated well: Writing code for free is charity. I always saw creating open source code akin to being a plumber or carpenter who applied their hard earned knowledge and worked for free in homes they chose. A plumber who works f

The prospect of an earplug that eases focusing audio got me interested... but no thanks, I won't go out to socialize with basically two mini trumpets coming out of my ears. It looks funny, reminiscing of classic b&w pictures with d

I see, thanks for commenting. I genuinely wanted to learn more about the background or context of that decision. Didn't know that it's a common thing to do in the Rust ecosystem! Nice to know, too.

I'd like to learn more about the dual license "MIT OR Apache-2.0": is there any practical advantage of using one over the other? Are there any expected use cases where Apache-2.0 wouldn't be appropriate but MIT would? I

I got the solution! Given that spaces in identifiers cannot be used because we need to please the language tokenizers (shouldn't be the other way around with humans vs machines?), let's use TAB as a word separator! Configure TAB w

Wait so this guy decided to fork the project, and seemingly abused his position to supplant the previous version with his own opinionated fork? All this while disregarding the opinion of upstream devs themselves and being arrogant and stubb

I made the original comment and must say that it was only meant as a joke. But, maybe some cases would merit using it. This is of course based on the fact of how the xz attack needed a couple of apparently innocent community members to st

A "good" side effect of this for OSS maintainers going on, is that now any time an entitled user starts being too pushy or too... well, entitled , they can be given a canned response: Are you trying to pull an xz attack on me?

For one I can write ".set" and the IDE would auto-complete with all possible somethings that can be set, even without having the slightest idea of which ones there are. I've very much enjoyed this kind of consistency wherever

The GUI is made with Qt, for which the preferred programming language is C++. So that could be one reason already. There are a lot of bindings listed for Rust in the Qt docs [1] though, but they will always be a subpar experience compared t

Funny that something as simple as hiding a toolbar requires diving through 5 steps. Doesn't it just offer that option upon right-click? It sounds natural and expected to me for a toolbar to do so.

I wonder how it's not a trivial workaround to have a separate, anonymous project with the sole scope of disassembling the code (and thus violating the license), while acting as knowledge source for emulators. This way, emulators wouldn

Yes, but only a small subset of OSS projects reach the tipping point of having a large enough developer community with people willing to taking care of it. They are the most popular ones, so we tend to hear their names, as opposed to the ot
