systemd-resolvd is, like many of the systemd components, optional. If you're using it, it is either because you setup it yourself or your distro set up it to you or you're using a NetworkManager with systemd-resolvd as your DNS re

Systemd offer a compile and runtime option to turn this option off, so it is a fair comparison.

Thanks, now I know why Emacs daemon keeps delaying my restarts in the system (just discovered that NixOS defaults KillUserProcesses to false). Turning this on to true, for me it does no make sense to a user service (yeah, I run emacs as a u

I don't think the author needs to go to such lengths just to support some proprietary fonts, specially considering that there are great free and open options.

Not ASCII, however a cool hack using mpv is that it can display actual videos in a terminal emulator that supports true color output [1]. Just run the following command: mpv -vo tct video_file.mkv Reduce the font size to increase res

Spacemacs looks beautiful tough, and has some pretty nice defaults (for example, it automatically adds a layer for each language you're using, so you have good IDE-like features without fuzzing with packages).

I didn't understand one thing: is this implemented in Nim and run Python code? If yes, why don't run Pipelines in Nim too? Wouldn't this be faster?

Considering that mpv[1] recommends FFmpeg I would say FFmpeg won. I say that because mpv is one of the projects that mostly use parts of FFmpeg internals and also one of the first projects to use modern futures (and deprecate older versions

I don't think this is a great error message. I use Clojure everyday and I still had to look 2 times to find the error. If it was something like this, this would be much better: Unmatched parenthesis from starting at line 5. Maybe

I liked the old logo since it represented one of the most iconic features of the Slack, that is channels. This new one seems really generic and I can't associate it with any of the killer features in Slack. Nonetheless, least props to

This post shows exactly what I mean: editing Lisp with a good editor is nice, however when you're bootstrapping a system sometimes the only tool available is vi (no even vim, just vi). Try to find a close parenthesis after 8 function c

I think that Nix expression language is Turing complete. At least by the number of constructs, it seems so [1]. And while I think Nix language is kind of strange, there is at least one reason I prefer it instead of a Lisp (this being a pers

I don't think it is surprise that Linux is about adding more features in an organic way, instead of being well thought like *BSDs. However saying that no testing happens in Linux kernel is dishonest, to say at least: there is automated
