I've been keeping an eye on alacritty and sort of expect to switch at some point, especially if I begin using Wayland. I've got urxvt configured the way I like it but it can be annoying that default packaged builds are often confi

It'd be good to have details of unicode coverage on this site, i.e how many glyphs in various major blocks are covered (e.g greek, cyrillic, box drawing, mathematical symbols etc).

So the control program is just "wg". We only have one namespace for commands so using a two-letter combination for something as obscure as controlling VPNs is not very clever. Two-letter combinations should be left to user aliases

I've always thought of the term changelog as being the full list of every single change for the purposes of developers. Back before we had git and used CVS or patches it was necessary to track all changes and this was often in a file n

It gives me the weather for "Italy, United States of America". So having got the country of Italy from the geolocation, it must then be doing a US-centric text search for the location. The weather report is nice but doesn't w

With cvs, specify just "." and it will checkout all the modules in the CVS repository. That would include CVSROOT which was the module containing hooks. But, yes it was sometimes annoying that the module name wasn't clearly d

The trouble with free-form text fields is that they end up getting filled with lies for compatibility reasons like web browser User-Agents.

One big advantage is that you get much more use out of public transport. I'm well served by trams where I live but there are many times when it would be convenient to travel just one or two stops. It is too expensive to even consider i

No, just hire a "programmer". It really doesn't take long to get up to speed in a new language and can make it more fun, adding to motivation. In any other profession job adverts don't specify the exact make and model of

This is assuming that you can trust the market capitalisation values. I'd bet that far more BCH is in lost wallets than LTC because it started as a a BTC fork.

How come Litecoin, which would be #5 by market capitalisation is missing? Yet many I've never heard of are included. Has some fan of an alternative deleted it or something?

Semantic markup has more uses than just consistent presentation. For example, most of the BSD's use mandoc rather than groff for rendering which allows you to do more detailed searches with apropos. Note that the linked article refers

We ran into problems with ext4 on an NFS server with 64-bit inodes and 32-bit clients. XFS had a mount option that solved it. We're likely to stick with it now as we prefer the quotas.

The one time I came across upx, it was used on some malware. It was on a programme named gnome-pty-helper in a user's .config directory that was installed in cron and set to phone home to some locations that were stored in clear once u

I'm glad to see this point being made because it covers exactly what worried me when I first saw this C++ modules specification. At work, I maintain the build system for some mixed C++ and Fortran 90 code and prepocessor includes reall

The motivation comes down to little more than a couple of the main Void developers owning a witiboard. Perhaps there's other hardware floating around but there was quite a bit of discussion on IRC surrounding the witi.

Is pulseaudio really there by default? I've been using void for a couple of years. Made the choice early on to have sndio but no pulseaudio but I don't remember ever having to particularly remove pulseaudio.

For the best quality and variety of food in Europe, you're actually best off going to London because you can get everything. Italy (and to some extent France) suffer from a superiority complex with the result that it's hard to get

As far as the title goes sticking to plain English words instead of acronyms would be nicer. I have to think for a moment to guess what GA stands for and GCE is completely meaningless to me without following the link and seeing that it is G

I don't really see what you call a "Simple Factory" as being covered in the Gang of four book. I should have been clear about meaning Factory Method but the terminology is often apparent in class naming. So for the "Abst

The main value of the design patterns is that they have given names to things that were already common and fairly intuitive to a half decent programmer. But I've come across many people trying to use them as a guide for how to write co

It wasn't a case of the character evolving. It was more that thorn didn't exist on printing presses imported from Germany where they had been invented and y was chosen as a common substitute.

When I started using Unix in the early '90s, zsh was more popular than bash by a long way. And tcsh was more popular still. You had to be a GPL purist or something to want to use bash. Its success is really down to its status as the Li

I went through a similar experience with the NM process some ten years ago except I ended up giving up on the whole thing. After being told I absolutely had to answer a load of questions within a week for a week that happened to be very inc
