    The situation is actually not that bad - see https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/1dbujal/information... for more follow-up information. TL;DR: Termux is coming back to Google …

    Ask HN: How dangerous is source code access?

    For a small startup whose product requires source code access (think static analysis as a CI service), how dangerous is it having access to the (non-open) source code of commercial…

    A properly written trigger shouldn't throw away data silently. It should raise an exception, which indeed would cause the query to fail, and roll back the whole transaction (so no …

    Note that you can use mosh on Android using Termux ( https://termux.com ) - run 'apt update && apt install mosh' to install the mosh package.

    When you 'apt install coreutils' in Termux you get coreutils installed as a multi-call binary to save space. 1556 kB for the package in total (including man pages).

    Great, thanks :). Let me know if you miss any font or colour theme from it!

    Thanks - this is now fixed, if you do an 'apt update && apt upgrade' it should now work!

    I think TerminalIDE is rather similar, with Termux having more up-to-date packages and terminal emulation. Since Termux requires Lollipop or later, and TerminalIDE only works on An…
