That's one problem with relying on automatically extracted information - sometimes it's not really what you want. In this case that's just what GitHub puts in the og:description tag for large? repos, probably to make it appea

Well, you can use the same json file for multiple documents. By default it will be stored in the directory from which pandoc is invoked, but you can also change that by setting `url2cite-cache: filename` in the markdown frontmatter or in th

Each citation is added to a formatted JSON file when it is first seen. After this it stays the same. This means you can fix the citation data by hand by just editing the JSON file. You should include the JSON file in your version control. A

The main performance problem in pacman as far as I can tell is really slow xz decompression. This is mostly important for large packages: $ time xzcat /var/cache/pacman/pkg/cuda-10.1.243-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz &g

Exactly. People here always seem to assume that its power consumption will increase linearily the more people it use (from what the whole network consumes now). But in the future, the amount of energy consumed for a single transaction will

Yep. The only thing missing is nominal aliases to primitive types, which is requested my many people [1] and even the TS compiler itself uses hacks to work around the lack of them. No idea why they don't add them already. Also of cours

kind of.. though this tool does a lot more (caching, recursing into archives and extracting all text) and is a lot faster (for the file types it can parse, lesspipe knows more), and of course lesspipe is only indirectly usable for recursive

by phiresky 7y ago
Well, it uses the exact same pdf parsing library that e.g. Evince uses.. so if you ever open untrusted PDFs in a normal viewer, this will expose you to the same danger (maybe less since it only extracts text). But yeah, if there was a nice

Thank you! Yeah, I like to think I have some interesting projects. Maybe I should make an overview page because you can only pin 6 repositories on Github :)

There is an option to limit the maximum archive recursion `--rga-max-archive-recursion=` which defaults to 4. That is also needed to handle droste.zip [1] which is a zip file that contains itself. So for huge archives it will simply take a

Nope, haven't tried it. I just saw that ripgrep is using appveyor for windows instead, so I assumed it doesn't work on travis. I was actually just trying to add appveyor to this [1], but I'm getting a weird error. [1]: https

In ripgrep itself you can apparently only look in files of encodings other than UTF16LE with BOM by manually specifying `--encoding UTF16BE` etc. I could maybe add encoding detection myself, but I'm kind of discouraged since not even t

Windows support should be fairly trivial, the main problem is packaging it up and that travis doesn't like Windows. > doesn't support other UTF encodings like UTF-16 UTF-16 should in fact work, since ripgrep supports it too. Lo

It's true that you could mostly replace the "rga" binary with `rg --pre=rga-preproc` and just publish the rga-preproc binary, which does most of the work.. But rga itself adds convenience regarding filter selection and othe

Pretty hard to make rg search in files within archives though without actually extracting them (which I've seen more than one request for in the ripgrep issues [1]), which is why rga includes streaming, recursive decompression of archi
