Two reasons: One is because of software bloat. Apps and frameworks keep getting larger, so they need more memory. But that's only a small portion of the explanation, and when talking about 16GB+ of RAM, probably almost irrelevant. The

Anyone writing code in a language they don't know will write nightmarish code. No matter if it is shell, Python, Go, or what have you. I have seen it happen multiple times as well, with all of these languages. And /that/&#x27

I see your point, but what happens in your alternate world of having to maintain the 5000-line Python version 5 years down the line? You face the same issues you describe. The people that wrote the original beautiful code aren't there

I cringe when I hear people (often senior) saying things like: "Yikes, a 500-line shell script. We must rewrite it in Python for maintainability!!!!1!" -- without even looking at how it has been written. Yes. Shell scripts can be

This is quite dated (2012), but back then I found Fedora’s packaging system to be quite good: https://jmmv.dev/2012/02/brief-look-into-fedoras-packaging.h... Thanks for the article! Trying out Silverblue is still

On the contrary. I’ve been recently writing a web service in Go… and omg what a terrible experience. Sure, I could prototype something very quickly, but now it’s almost impossible to refactor any of it without introducing subtle breakage. A

Glad to see the note about NetBSD and OpenBSD at the bottom of the post! I don’t remember the specific details on how this was done, but I can remember the long discussions about how to make this possible without breaking compatibility (and

I'm asking about security, not performance or anything else. How does 11 make old hardware less secure than 10, assuming it's only new features that cannot work?

I recently got a ~3-year-old Thinkstation with 72 ht cores and 64 GB of RAM for relatively cheap and it has become my home server. It's overkill but I could not resist it. I do not run much on it yet but I have it with FreeBSD 13 and:

For the roadmap, I tried to capture most of the things that are in my mind in GitHub issues. Well, I did a good job at that a year ago but... haven't kept up with more-recent ideas; I'll try to capture them! For releases and other

Syntax highlighting, more shortcuts, inline help and maybe autocomplete are all things I’d like to add. Not the priority right now, but they’ll come at some point! Thanks!

I don’t have plans for a native compiler right now. (But just to clarify: note that the interpreter runs on these systems just fine; the web version is only one of the supported platforms.) What I have in mind at the moment is building a be

Yes, but what about remote support? That’s the single most thing I miss from VSCode. I want to run my editor on the local machine so that it can benefit from graphics support and integrate properly with the local windowing system, but I wan
