If you are really attached to such idea and would love to work on it, your best bet is to reimplement it on your own, with a new code base. That is if you didn't sign a NDA.

I can't understand the reasoning on putting everything behind HTTP these days. Personally, I think that if a project decides to go that route it's because poor design decisions. Separation of interests should exist in software sol

This program looks interesting. Maybe it could help in the bootstrap process of tcc, though I don't know if it is written in ANSI C. On a related note, I will try to test compiling lua's runtime environment and interpreter, becaus

I'm glad I made the switch from Arch to Void. Runit is clean and simple, it does the correct job in a deterministic fashion, if something fails proper errors appear on usual logs.

It sounds as if the problem was systemd instead of 'emacs --dameon'.

Thank you for this explanation, it gives me a better idea about Emacs' design.

Before Void I tried Alpine briefly, but couldn't resolve an issue with MESA, back then I didn't had the adecuate knowledge to fix it myself.

Before I migrated to Void, I used slackware-current extensively, it is indeed the cleanest GNU/Linux distribution I've found. Personally, I loved manually dependency resolution, but sadly didn't had the time to do it, so I en

I know that from a technical point of view, Emacs is not just a text editor; I think it is a complete lisp virtual machine with a text-based interface that happens to be prepared for editing text by default, and thus it should be treated as

I would like to include Void as a serious, competent and elegant distribution. I've used it for a complete year, and have really come to appreciate its focus on simplicity, reminds how Arch was before they decided to use systemd.

I share the same fascination you have. I'm always interested in how our brains collectively developed ways to communicate through spoken languages, it makes wonder how things will change a thousand years from now. I'm sure some de

FreeBSD's kernel offers better performance (on the server) compared to Linux, and the licensing model makes it more attractive to some industries. Whatsapp (server side), Netflix, and the internals of PS3/4 all use FreeBSD code. O

When I read things like this, it makes appreciate OpenBSD (and the rest of projects under the OpenBSD Foundation) even more, considering how it is still actively and fearlessly maintained by few individuals (less than 40), motivated mainly

The most "iconic" example of failure most be the shellshock bug in bash, though the time in which it was fixed should be applauded.

I agree with you on 16/44.1 audio, I have a transparent DAC that can output 24/96, and on repeated blind tests I have failed to identify which is which, using files from the same source (a 24/96 song converted to 16/44.1

If you are into headphones, you could start hanging out on the subreddit. It's a big community, and you'll see many of the current technologies. It could get really expensive, I mean the new Sennheiser closed-back HD820 has a ~$2k

This GRUB bug you are talking about, is not a kernel problem though; on a side note, I'm going to read on the links you provided as I want to see if encrypted root partitions could also be compromised, I suspect no.

This looks good, I think that it would be worth giving it a shot. My main problem is XML, it is always incredibly slow to parse, and there is not an accepted defined way to express the content, s-expressions would do a much better job, perh

Some relatively new music enthusiasts see this as a stupid idea. Personally I think is part of the experience to "disconnect" yourself from the rutine of your daily activities.

Writing a competent, simple replacement for GnuPG, yet PGP fully compatible, is one of the things I plan to do on the long road, thus I think neopg is a good idea, except the fact that they decided to use C++. I know that type safety is one

The web should be something simple, after all HTML and HTTP were both designed to transfer text, the former is the document format and the latter the means of transmission. Of course nowadays the web is bloated with javascript, webassembly,
