   in terms of skill, the current ublock maintainer seems to be a kid with little to no skill who is not updating the project and instead milking it for money. I'm sure the iOS implementation is sound though.

   a good point. I used to use homebrew but I've dedicated my time pkgsrc proselytization, so I don't have homebrew installed anymore. I have a fontforge patch that I need to submit upstream, and I think I just need to install a newe

   This is awesome! building wine in pkgsrc is broken for me at the moment (clang problems), so having a working/up to date wine build on OS X is great!

   I'm just glad that there are still people (prmiarily nemo/francisco ballesteros/9front team/cat-v) hacking away at Plan9/Inferno/[nix/octopus/planb]/etc. In a world where corporate OS research is

   Somewhat off-topic, but now that Uriel is dead, is there any central figure tasking themselves with the future upkeep of cat-v?

   Great list, not a big fan of homebrew personally, or its creator who seems to be full of himself. I'd recommend pkg_src from joyent[0]. homebrew seems to have a lot of the hip webdev packages, but pkg_src and joyent's repository i

    I'm just glad there's a nice binary of GHC available to download from somewhere. I'm running 10.11, and I had to compile GHC from source (homebrew) on my MacBook air in order to install youtube-dl with rtmpdump support. It to

    Interesting service. I definitely prefer my e-mail notifications to come right from SeaMonkey, but I could see this being useful for those who don't use a separate mail client and prefer to not have their gmail open in a separate tab 2

    Ridiculous. I've never heard of power users using Pale moon. it seems like the current `hot fad' in comparison to products like SeaMonkey, which power users have always used since the de-coupling of the Mozilla Suite (netscape sui

    agreed. I can't believe I had never seen this until a few months ago. Speaking of great tech documentaries, just got done with Jason Scott's BBS documentary, which was fantastic.

    Hello! I've been customizing my OS X installs since 10.5 with various programs (ThemePark, (S)artFiletool, and most recently Alex Zielenski's ThemeEngine[0]). I'm a fan of the `platinum' theme from Mac OS 9, so I've

    Yeah I think it was just the strange kerning and size that it was displayed in. I know ProFont has bitmap sizes other than 9 (10, 12, 14, 24, etc.) but I'm not accustomed to seeing any other than 9 used for programming is all. I have a

    Interesting project, but some of these look a bit... wrong to me. For example, ProFont is my favorite bitmap programming font and the renderer used makes it look bad. Just loaded it up in my Terminal.app to show how it /should/ lo

    I've always preferred MacType[0] over the old gdipp project. It improved upon elements from the gdipp project in many ways. You can try out my config if you like: [1]. [0]: https://code.google.com/p/mactype/

    yeah, perhaps I worded that I bit strangely. I was just commenting on how Microsoft's monopolistic behavior caused Netscape to open-source and eventually get bought out by AOL, thus forming Mozilla through the open-source release.

    I don't understand why he doesn't just re-po the repo (ha) from the guy he gave it to. it would solve the strange monetization problem and fix the schism the two projects have created for end users.

    I recently converted all of the old font suitcase (FFIL) files that I salvaged from Mac OS 1-7 (other than the elusive Taliesin which I have the FFIl for but remains unreadable in FontForge) to working OS X bitmap datafork fonts (.dfont). [
