How is the state of Magit on MS-Windows? For me it's unusably(!) slow with a 3-4 GB repository. What is the best way to run Emacs on Windows? I'm using cygwin because I need so many unix tools anyway.

There is media.peerconnection.enabled in about:config. When set to false, WebRTC doesn't work but I'm not sure if there isn't anything left active. Also uBlock has an option "Prevent WebRTC from leaking IP adresses"

Yes, I remember using zsh and in my experience this was barely useful since most Makefiles are auto-generated with hundreds or thousands of targets. > one could always have a 'help' target that prints a short documentation Sure

I was just referring to the --targets option which I thought was meant as an answer to the missing standard help.

> remake --targets; No idea why this hasn't been merged upstream I would think because it's useless. The targets in a Makefile are very often just internal and aren't always meant to be run by the user.

"make help" is definitely not a standard. For all I know "make help" builds help.exe. But there is a standard way to get available commands: Just look at the README or open the Makefile with a text-editor! The lack of

You always need a at least a STUN server and in my experience that 85% isn't remotely true. For example STUN-only never worked from mobile internet (only tested some german providers).

Does it need much to change? I didn't mean to fix NPM. The problem is the non-existing standard-library. Just create one that everybody will use and everybody could cut their dependencies by thousands.

I think these one-line-packages aren't the right way to go. Either JS-developers should skip the package-system in that case and just copy and paste those functions into their own project or there should be more common used packages th

You don't have to enforce a conversion from int to bool if you just want a bool. In this example you don't want to increment by 'bool', you want to increment by 1 or 0 (which are ints). So you use !!x to convert to boo
113.
by jackewiehose 6y ago
Ints are automatically converted to bool, there is no need to cast. What this does is it restricts the int to 1 or 0. The clean way to write this is x ? 1 : 0. This is understandable even if you don't know the Boolean inversion of 0

As parent comment noticed there is no need to bypass anything. Just ask the user for root permissions like any other installer and the user will accept.
