   Clover is fully open source. And it's not too complicated to follow along, so it's actually a fairly auditable piece of software. I've been using hackintosh for a while, and it's almost a vanilla OSX with the exception o

   I'm pretty sure this is wrong. As an example : sleep 2 | /usr/bin/time sleep 1 This gives an output of "1 second" even though the entire pipeline took 2 seconds.

   In OCaml : let expression a b c = match (a, b, c) with | (true, true, true) => 2, | (true, true, _) => 1, | (false, _, _) => 0 I like how pattern matching allows you to create something very

   before_exec is unstable AFAIK ? EDIT: To be stabilized in 1.15 coming in two days. Oh well, at least, it shouldn't be possible to invoke UB. Hopefully :D

   My first thought when reading this is "what about rust" ? Rust uses the system libc to support most of it's standard library, so could it have the same problem ? A quick look at the std::env::set_env docs [0] tells us that Ru

   It doesn't really matter if they are though. It means we get "official support" - if something is broken, they are able (and I daresay, maybe even willing !) to look into it.

   This is pretty much what Popcorn Time does right now AFAIK. The development of the client and stuff are done under the "Butter Project" (which is completely legal, distributing only works that are free of copyrights), while popcor

   Well, I routinely `git rebase upstream/master` to keep my git history clean. It has the same effect as a merge from master, but keeps everything tidy.

    You can give user freedom to customize the OS in a closed source system TBH. Look at World of Warcraft. The interface can be customized to the user's need, yet WoW isn't open source. And macos is based on an open source Kernel (da

    Heh. I made a PR to a haskell project with lots of stars (pandoc) and since that I've gotten a few mails about Haskell opportunities. Even though a simple two character change to pandoc is my only Haskell experience...

    Unless you're using non-standardized features, the web is supposed to be backward compatible. I can still look at pages written in the 90s just fine. The problem comes when you start using prefixed css keys or unstable / non stand

    Not everything needs to be real business... Solid infrastructure has an associated cost in both time and money that not everybody is willing to pay, especially for side-projects.

    I'm writing an i3/tmux integration similar to iTerm2's[0], but working at the WM layer, using i3 and urxvt. The reason I'm doing this is that I'm often ssh'd into a box, and having to ssh into multiple terminal

    I find using nix as a package manager to be a better solution. Write a nixfile that have all the tools you need for a script, and you're fixed. Docker is a slow, blunt tool for just containerizing dependencies IMO.

    Why do you assume everyone fills it up ? Honest question. While it's true github isn't the "best tool" for everything in the world (what is?), I find it mostly serves as a discovery tool. If I have a bug in a project, I&

    While it's true you might want to email the author and all, having a PR is great for one thing: letting other people looking for the bug/feature find the fix before it's upstreamed. This is what I usually do with my PRs. I fi

    The language itself evolved as well though. Chrome/FF/Edge (the Big Three) all support a large subset of ES6. I use it in prod because I have the luxury to not have to care about those people stuck in the past. And the portion of

    Explain what the coincidence was ? There are alternatives everywhere (ActiveX, flash, java, visual basic IIRC). And yet here we are, with JS. I believe JS came here because it actually is the best language we have had in the web. It's

    I've never had problems with docs in JS, both node and browser. The MDN is a limitless ressource of information for the base language, and for libraries, well you're going to get undocumented libraries in any language. It might be

    And yet macos doesn't have forced updates. They just prompt the user (with a very in-your-face message) and people DO update. Same with linux. Same with android. Same with IOS. If you prompt the user to update, they generally will.
