Putting API contracts aside, the problem is also that people use a package manager as if it was a code snippet manager. As in, "how do I check if a string starts with a shebang" sh…

The app in the Google Store is no longer maintained, hence the warning. It is however available in F-droid [1], and the newer versions don't need the secondary app and do everythin…

There are GUIs based on mpv that provide a user-friendly interface and just use mpv for playback, see Celluloid [0]. [0]: https://celluloid-player.github.io/

See the Linux documentation's "How the development process works" [0]. The way a changeset goes from a developer's machine to the root is reasonably similar (it usually gets pulled…

Yes, it works the same. Since mpv 0.34 it even looks for yt-dlp first, and fallback to youtube-dl otherwise. Before that you had to set an option, or just symlink youtube-dl to yt-…

Unicode has both MICRO SIGN (U+00B5) and GREEK SMALL LETTER MU (U+03BC). The former is the one on (most) people's keyboard, and it shouldn't be used to type actual Greek.

There is a new mount syscall in Linux 5.12, see "ID remapping in mounts" [1], that should help with all the permission madness, eventually. It allows different mounts to expose the…

On Firefox you can go to `about:processes`. It lists tabs by process, and includes the PID (on Linux; no idea about other platforms). You can also directly kill tabs and processes …

To be fair, this is more a Rust Syntax Reference Sheet than any kind of cheat-sheet. It basically has everything. It's useful to quickly lookup the syntax for something you never u…

That reminds me of the two anti-tanks fortresses disguised as houses as part of the Toblerone line [1]. Those two were the only ones visible from the road by people (i.e. tourists)…

This seems to misrepresent why people bother naming things. It's not like mathematicians are spending their time randomly naming every object/property/structure/... they encounter …

The 8-part series this comes from (starting here [1]) was a really good read. Very informative, regardless of one's stance on emoji. [1] https://shadycharacters.co.uk/2018/08/emoji…

This is probably a stupid question, but doesn't the PTY itself already have that out-of-order problem? I mean that it reads both file descriptors and does interleave them in the en…
