It's up, but HTTP only. Your browser may be forcing HTTPS and showing you an error page, but you should be able to bypass that.

> We haven't found this to be an issue for Pnut. One of the metric we use for performance is how much time it takes to bootstrap Pnut, and dash takes around a minute which is about the time taken by bash. This is with Pnut allocatin

It's not about performance, it's about viability. If the result is so slow that it's unusable, it doesn't matter how portable it ends up being.

Since I experimented with something similar in the past to mimick multidimensional arrays: depending on the implementation this can absolutely _kill_ performance. IIRC, Dash does a linear lookup of variable names, so when you create tons of

I'm writing something similar, but it's based on its own scripting language. The idea of transpiling C sounds appealing but impractical: how do they plan to compile, say, things using mmap, setjmp, pthreads, ...? It would be bette

One train can move many people at once (especially for peak commute times when people would be driving single-occupancy cars just to get to an office). It suffer from similar problems, but it's much more efficient at the same task.

Yes? That's the whole point. 100 years ago it was unthinkable for common people to eat red meat every day, they just couldn't afford it. Today, we are privileged enough that we can afford to do so, but just because we can it doesn

I had a similarly appalling experience with a Samsung smartphone in, I think, 2012? Since then, I swore to never but anything Samsung again.

They rewrote the UI recently in their own toolkit, Floem [^1], and that broke all scaling under X11 for me (now the UI and fonts are rendered so large that it's unusable). It works fine in Wayland though... Here's some issues that

I think it worked fine for me with basically no setup, so I'm curious: what kind of setup did it require for you?

I've been using it for years and most things I need nowadays just work (i.e. have Fish support out of the box). For all the rest, perhaps give https://github.com/edc/bass a try.

This was a while back so I can't recall precisely. Yes, I think I was travelling at the time, but I don't think the changes happened just before stepping on the plane, and I did have connectivity.

Be careful when using StreetComplete. It's by far the most user-friendly OSM editor out there, but it bundles edits together in one big changeset. I didn't know that, so I used it on occasion to fill in information about places I

Free software is generally considered "free as in free speech". Doesn't always imply gratis, as people still need to pay their bills.

Writing man pages by hand is indeed something that makes you lose the will to live. For anything beyond the trivial case I just write Markdown and convert it to a man page using pandoc.

Beats me how "Andrea" became a female name. The name literally means "manly".

I had to stop using elementary OS when they doubled down on Flatpak because I ran out of disk space. Those runtimes add up. :-/

Argh, I meant "however don't underestimate". I blame mobile keyboards and their autocorrect features.

I tend to agree with that, however don't understand the language barrier. Labeling comments makes the intent unambiguous. I also enjoy a tactical use of smileys and other emojis where applicable :)

One of my current hobby projects is a scripting language which compiles to POSIX sh (for maximum portability). However, it's far from complete, the output is not exactly readable and POSIX sh is so limited that I might need to change c

I found the OsmAnd+ user experience quite irritating, and OpenStreetMap is just a fancy database and not a competing product to Google Maps for the user who wants live directions/navigation. That said, for mobile use Organic Maps is pr
