I wrote cargo-esr[1], an alternative tool for searching crates, with the purpose of narrowing down good choices. Feedback welcome. [1] https://github.com/rust-alt/cargo-esr

> in practice the closure syntax and logical or do not lead to confusion (imho, ymmv). That's true. But put your self in the mind of a C developer looking at Rust code for the firs…

What's syntactically obscure about Rust? I only knew(and liked) C reasonably well before Rust. And nothing felt obscure when I started learning it. I can only remember not getting …

Is this a problem where multiple connections wouldn't help? I can add an option to saldl[1] to use a new connection with each chunk. But I'm not sure there are real world examples …

Interesting. Why is this interpreted as a relative path? cd /etc curl file://resolv.conf

Christian Grothoff is an excellent academic. In fact, he is one of the most knowledgeable in the field worldwide. Unfortunately, that's why ,IMHO, GNUnet didn't succeed. To build a…

Are there any plans to support archiving Web 2.0 pages? More and more people are starting to rely on "archive.is" as it handles Web 2.0 content without issue. But I'm concerned abo…

If all you intend to provide in that regard is "Better keyboard shortcut support". Then no, Vimperator functionality will not be supported.

It wasn't very useful because it didn't actually force streaming. The "rarest-first" rule was still respected. It wasn't optimal for the swarm. Yet, the user didn't really get what…

Suppose there is only one seeder and 2-3 leechers. All leechers managed to get 50+%. Now, if the seeder disappears, the leechers should be able to finish the download from each oth…

I'm deeply concerned about popularizing torrent streaming. A few leechers breaking "rarest-first" might not cause much harm. But if most leechers become streamers, torrents will lo…

The URL does not work right now. But I tried another one from the same site. No client can get this right, always. aria2c is not more reliable. It's just choosing to take the filen…

Stability and security comes first. So, let's ship an X years old curl release + patches ;)

FWIW, this page is incomplete and outdated. For example, `--mirror-url` was implemented. So, it is now possible to download from two sources concurrently.

Try saldl[1]. It depends on libcurl. So protocol support should be good and reliable. [1] https://github.com/saldl/saldl

I should probably write a "saldl vs. others" page someday. > Wget supports the Public Suffix List for handling cookie domains, curl does not. This is outdated info. (lib)curl can b…

Besides the UI, "reviewable.io" is a memory hog. It's simply unusable if you try to browse the site from a device without a lot of free memory (e.g. older tablets, ARM SoCs, etc).

Somebody just spammed their Issues page[1]. The one they link to in the letter. I think the spammer is trying to make a point! For starters, there seems to be no rate limit applied…

This is the greatest thing since ... tmux. If only @resurrect-save-zsh-history was implemented.

nethogs: bandwidth usage by process(Does not work with UDP!) iptraf-ng: bandwidth usage by port. lsof: list open files(including network files).
