Yes, but the skins didn't rearrange anything (as opposed to some other players). It was just a different "texture". See: https://skins.webamp.org/

Yeah, I wouldn't call that an open source license. It's something like Microsoft's "shared source", as I expected/feared.

PS: Somewhat related, look at the bonkers way Windows resolves the program to execute from the command line string: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processt... PPS: Even less related,

You still need to e.g. pass file paths to a program to open that file in that program.

Hard disagree. The way Windows handles command line parameters is bonkers. It is one string and every program has to escape/parse it themselve. Yes, there is CommandLineToArgvW(), but there is no inverse of this. You need to escape the

Python has those too, although with less convenient syntax (multiline functions (closures) can only be at statement locations).

Ever since I heard of TCPA in the early 2000s I was of the opinion that this is technology that undermines the owner's control of their own computer. Back then it even seemed as if that is a move by Microsoft to get rid of Linux, which

Such a device would necessarily only play pirated content (well, and YouTube) or SD content. All the streamers don't allow desktop Linux browsers to play HD content. (Well, there's a hack for Netflix. Don't tell em.) I would

But at least its a loud failure and not a silent different interpretation of the source as the example was. Still.

We do it because we always did it is such a great argument.

You are not wrong.

Are these versions reimplemtations or like so many other apps just packaged websites? And are they full featured?

Wait, it's also doing command interpolation? I missed that. Where is the code for that? I thought it uses dotenv-expand for interpolation, which can't do commands. dotenv-expand is already a bit meh, because of how it resolves the

Very cool stuff! I wrote something vaguely similar recently that displays images in the terminal using Unicode block elements and 24 bit ANSI colors, but I just assume two pixel per character. I support scaling and animated GIFs: https:&#x

I don't remember the details, only that it was a bigger deal than with umlauts. I'll see if I can find the talk again.

They're both valid UTF-16, though. Can you create a filename with only half of a surrogate pair in it? I don't use Windows, so I can't check. Linux literally allows any arbitrary byte except for 0x00 and 0x2F ('/&#x

I saw something about Arabic text, where that naive truncation at codepoint boundaries turns one word into a different word! Like the sequence of codepoints generate something that is represented as a single glyph in fonts, but truncated it

> 5 MB was never a realistic estimate of process RAM. They probably meant "Firefox Setup 1.0.exe" was 5 MB.

Yeah, but Maschine is machine. Or at least I thought so.

My native language is German. We only have the word Motor. Thought engine is just the 1:1 translation of it, but apparently not.

I've actually looked at hexyl and wxHexEditor now and added comments on those to the README of my own hex viewer.
262.
by panzi 2y ago
Is that an actual viewer with navigation and all, or is it just like xxd, but with Unicode? Dumping gigabytes to the terminal isn't what I want.

by panzi 2y ago
ImHex Looks amazing, but I couldn't get it to work on my system last time I tried. Not a pre built version and not compiling it myself. So I wrote myself a simple hex viewer. Only a viewer, don't need an editor. All other hex edit

Reminds me of when I used WinZip to copy files from a shared directory that had non-ASCII (non latin even!) characters in the file names over 20 years ago. Windows Explorer refused to do it. Can't remember the error message, WinZip did

Thank you! Just made some (blurry) long exposure photos on an old digital camera. Can't see it with the naked eye here.

DRM only really works if you're not root on your own machine, and with Linux you're always root on your own machine. Quite frankly I think DRM (the normalization of rootkits) is dangerous.

Haskell can be compiled to native code.

I don't think that's a pain. It's making explicit what should be explicit and the decoded string doesn't have an encoding attached (like in Ruby), it can't be in an unexpected format, it's always UTF-16. One ca

by panzi 2y ago
I think the proper way to do it is to have a string type and a byte-array type, like many other languages do it (not Ruby, that's a mess, too, if you ask me). The string type is always Unicode, can be any kind of UTF encoding in the ba
