"Marcel" is a common male name in some parts of the world. That would make a trademark infringement claim somewhat difficult.

And yet, there's no code completion for powershell so nice, as fish provides. In this area, Powershell (plus addons, like oh-my-posh) just mimimcs existing popular bash/zsh capabalities.

No. Powershell structured pipe might look beautifully to architecture astronauts, but it is a step back. The value of the component is the higher, the more components it can communicate with. Pure stream pipes in unices are the universal la

It usually comes with an option: those that don't like AGPL can still get a non-AGPL licensed version for a fee. You would be still better off than with totally closed source.

Turbo Pascal 7 did syntax highlighting, as well as source-level debugging. That was on top of nice-to-have features like auto-indenting. It was a DOS, Turbo Vision application.

I don't really mind; it concerns only updates of core system, not apps. Apps are still updated, so I get updated browser, mail and other apps, that could be attacked; they are not locked to the system. It makes the attack surface vastl

Galaxy nexus, while plastic, was still very nice phone. Nexus 5 had already quality issues. Pixels went downhill completely, while simultaneously bumping up the price.

Even after you change your region and language, it will drop you to the front page. If you try to click the direct link again, it will redirect you to "Change your region and language". That's beyond broken.

Yes ;) Average Lichtensteiner is way better off than average American. Lichtenstein is a very bad target for similar comparison, exactly because they are what they are.

I corrected myself; being introduced in 1993 does not mean it was supported by all the Apple utilities since start, at once. Also, it is not an user friendly solution. Do you know, how it really worked? Mac users were sharing QT pro keys. M

You should go even further and check the video playback experience on apple machines, when divx was all the rage and apple had just a sorrenson video 3. And yeah, full-screen playback was a qt pro feature, paid extra.

It is hard to build. AMD uses cpack deb/rpm generators; and the build process requires random things in path (some built from git checkouts of other projects). If you want to create standard deb or rpm build script for building in dist
