Well, I agree with him to a great extent. The complexity/dependency graph of a random application now-a-days is absolutely insane. I don't count everything in this, including the firmware and the OS like Muratori does in his video

I primarily test with Chrome and Firefox (Epiphany, occasionally). And my usecase requires that I provide downloadable fonts as not all fonts have nice-looking Devanagari renderings. So, the overriding happens naturally.

This is nice! Have been building something similar for Sanskrit (links in my other comment). And yes, this is not helpful beyond a point. But most people never reach that point. So, any help is useful.

I suggest using ruby annotations for the translation part. I am building a sanskrit reader[1] and needed a feature that allowed users to tag words with notes/meaning. ruby annotations work wonderfully for that. [1] Site: https:/&

Yeah. I am somewhat wary of trying this, mucking something up and wasting a lot of time wrestling with it. Will probably play around with it in a vm and use it during the next ssd upgrade. Would have been so much better if the distros showe

Most of the reasons you provide apply to DVCSes in general, quite a few of which predate git. Mercurial too has its genesis in the BitKeeper fiasco and saw an initial release the same month as git. GNU Bazaar saw a release the previous mo

A mirrored ZFS setup with one offline backup and one cloud backup will prevent nonsense like this.[1] If you know what you are doing, you can do a lot of stuff with ZFS even on a single disk.[2] [1] https://www.backblaze.com&#x2F
