Nice, hope it will become cleaner code in time. I tried zellij multiple times but despite years of development it still misses many things tmux provides. Inability to show/hide status bar[1] is the most annoying. [1] https://

Rizin[1] (from `dev` git) has good support of Hexagon ISA and MDT images as well as RzIL uplifting, see the implementation [2]. Would definitely help for the static analysis in addition to these tools. [1] https://github.com/

It's learning languages by employing "thinking method" where you learn new language using English, mostly, as a basis. In the case of some languages, like Spanish, using the knowledge of common Latin roots. And thinking metho

With a certain level of language skill, you start to experiment more with it, create new words, change grammar intentionally to accent your point, and simply stop caring about the correctness of what you say or write.

GitHub is also from them and brings the very same risks. The solution would be to build viable open source alternative but decentralized. GitLab Federation [1] or Forgejo (Codeberg) Federation [2] might be the answer. [1] https://

Same about GitHub, it's better to push for federated or truly decentralized system instead, like in Forgejo's roadmap [1]. This way everyone can benefit instead of ceding control to a sole organization wherever it might be. [1] h

Nothing against Ada, it's a good language. The only problem would be finding contributors in that case.

I hope they or Prossimo will also look and reimplement in the similar fashion the core Internet protocols - BGP, OSPF and RIP, other routing implementations, DNS servers, and so on.

Because of the memory safety, better type system, and better infrastructure of testing. There's even no well-maintained property-based testing framework for C. Rust provides all of this out of the box or with popular crates.

Another thing is to update mesh stack to more modern language, to improve security and resiliency - projects like B.A.T.M.A.N, Babel, OSLR, FRRouting, etc would largely benefit from being rewritten from pure C to language like Rust.

They should try to push it upstream, at least partially. Otherwise it's doomed to die like previous attempts.

Devices below 100 usually have bad sensors so they do some black magic and a lot of approximation in the firmware/software. Good air quality meter with good sensors simply cannot cost this low, even in the economy of scale.

The problem is not about quality of the code, it simply almost never works. Just tried some models still in beta on the code of one of the C projects and, while some pieces were okay and could be used as is, some are complete garbage and w

It makes sense, since exactly the same method is employed by all Linux package managers. The problem with Windows Update though it's too basic compared to other alternatives like Chocolatey, Scoop, or WinGet.
