Usually updates fix the problem. But I loved how the last update failed with a very clear "Error $SomeNumber". I just love Microsoft's style. ...</sarcasm>

I was thinking on this topic. You know what's the problem with alternatives? Nobody uses them. I'm seriously pissed off by this. I recently saw how all my friends moved to Telegram, and this is nice. But for instance my company ha

The last time I used this tool (two years ago, I think), it was quite problematic to have it running. I was not able to find a suitable tutorial for it. Was this problem fixed nowadays?

As a GNU/Linux user, I join the choir of frustration. I'm not adding my own experience, since it's the same for everyone. My two cents about alternatives: appear.in Not so good with connection establishment, but works fine mo

Wait, does that mean that I have to blindly trust the versions the author put on github? Does that also mean I don't get the up to date javascript library when they change?

Wait, what? How could someone reconstruct single commits? There was no Git back then! The patch program is quite old (1985), but those patches go back to 1972.

This post sounds a bit like trolling :D However, I believe the real power of Perl, besides the obviously awesome regex handling, is the "huffmann" principle of making common things super-quick. Sure this is the major cause of read

Actually we see attempts to extend libpurple with many recent protocols. For instance telegram works on pidgin AFAIK, and I could recently see se a Tox plugin. Clearly we cannot play a fair game with the closed whatsapp, but hacking cannot

So, how is it going with D? Last time I gave it a look I really liked it, but I sadly left the place when I hit the multiple standard libraries problems. Anyone using D in real life, among hackers here?

Not a real question, but a sincere Thank You for the efforts. I believe maintainers should be praised more.

My two cents: I used cmus before, but in the long term I still prefer mplayer. I construct the playlists myself by using soft-links to the actual paths of the songs. Real files are placed in sensibly named directories. It's a matter of

Funny list of pictures. Another cool thing, besides icebergs, would be a service checking for escapes given the URL. Or for other caveats (e.g. is the url https? Is it editing weird files (follows list of files))

Tried with vim, I see the escapes, cristal clear. However, I honestly don't see why I should do something foolish as `curl | sh`, even though from time to time I see websites suggesting this crazy approach. The first thing I think of i

I'm not convinced by the "number of lines" measure unit. It's clearly something which depends on the programming language, so one should gather different statistics depending on the language. Not to mention the fact that
