Why would I pay my developers to do bug fixes if you've only paid me once? Bug fixes are the user's problem, so why should I have to pay for it?

To expand on shagie's answer, vi is a separate utility except when it's not (f.g. Linux vi is usually a minimal vim build running in vi-compatible mode). For a more pure taste of v…

Note for mobile users: you can setup quassel server to connect to IRC and use the quassel client on your phone. The quassel server acts as an intermediary that keeps the IRC connec…

I thought of OpenBSD too since it includes Perl modules for OpenBSD::Pledge and OpenBSD::Unveil. Now I'm wondering if I can get something to work where these are used before import…

To add to this, it's designed to work in conjunction with small programs. You don't write everything using bash (or whatever shell) built-ins. It will feel like a crappier Perl. If…

It works quite well. There is a lack of precision trying to drag the cursor around on Android, which is made worse on the <$100 quality devices. Using vim's keyboard commands, I ca…

Neither would the 8 bit CPU you are salvaging. You don't even really need it anyways, you could get away with integer math. You would be running trading algos for bullets and cigar…

I just want a 200LX with a bit more RAM, wifi, and a new-ish CPU. As far as I'm concerned, it could run on a Raspberry 0 W. I haven't seen anything new with that Palmtop style of k…

More support, better support training, and policies that don't handcuff their dispute resolution options (before lawyers get involved). Excellent support, and even taking it on the…

You can easily stow a portable solar panel in a hiking bag that can charge your phone and the other accessories. A laptop would have a harder time getting charged, even if it was a…

I've been thinking about something similar. A polyvalent UI with CLI, GUI, and AUI (audible user interface). The AUI could be implemented as a TUI/HTML page (to leverage existing w…

As long as you're not messing with memory directly (i.e. dynamic allocation), the OS will clean up after your program exits.

I also like to look at the two and four star reviews. 5 are obviously bought, 1 could just as easily be an irrational customer, and 3 may just be people who feel lukewarm. Well wri…

Gambas is the best I have seen for something that feels like VB6. It's Linux only, but it has JIT.

Huh? Just use neocities.org. Even has a built-in editor on the site.

Don't take the following as a critic of your disdain for shell. Your comment reminded me of this: https://www.gnu.org/software/nosql/4gl.txt Note to phone users, the formatting wor…

I use espeak and it works on Termux too.

You don't get the market Nintendo is catering at all. I have bought 3 Switches because the games are fun and they have age appropriate content. I will probably buy another two more…

That's why I bought and played Breath of the Wild. It sure beats an experience like GTA V's single player where I can't seem to go five minutes without some NPC talking. I dreaded …

Or living in a rural area with crappy Internet. I've installed wireless Internet in places where the people are wealthy but could only get a crappy DSL line. An Internet connected …

Thanks to flat design, Athena widgets are now a minimalist widget set. Using X resources, you can even personalize and theme your apps.

This is the only response necessary for those demanding free support. You can even shorten it: "AS IS"

TUIs are better for visual representation and interaction on resource constrained systems. Just keep using the CLI if that's what you want. I'm not sure why you need HTTP or dbus f…

No problem, stuff happens. :)

"Why BSD?" wasn't the question. I have already read a lot of the arguments about that particular question. If I were to generalize my question to ladyanita22, it would be, "Why wou…
