If you are really attached to such idea and would love to work on it, your best bet is to reimplement it on your own, with a new code base. That is if you didn't sign a NDA.

I can't understand the reasoning on putting everything behind HTTP these days. Personally, I think that if a project decides to go that route it's because poor design decisions. Se…

This program looks interesting. Maybe it could help in the bootstrap process of tcc, though I don't know if it is written in ANSI C. On a related note, I will try to test compiling…

I'm glad I made the switch from Arch to Void. Runit is clean and simple, it does the correct job in a deterministic fashion, if something fails proper errors appear on usual logs.

It sounds as if the problem was systemd instead of 'emacs --dameon'.

> The other knock on ada was it was slow. I'm curious, is the compilation time that takes too much, or is it the execution time? I'm really interested in learning the language, but…

Thank you for this explanation, it gives me a better idea about Emacs' design.

Before Void I tried Alpine briefly, but couldn't resolve an issue with MESA, back then I didn't had the adecuate knowledge to fix it myself.

Before I migrated to Void, I used slackware-current extensively, it is indeed the cleanest GNU/Linux distribution I've found. Personally, I loved manually dependency resolution, bu…

I know that from a technical point of view, Emacs is not just a text editor; I think it is a complete lisp virtual machine with a text-based interface that happens to be prepared f…

I would like to include Void as a serious, competent and elegant distribution. I've used it for a complete year, and have really come to appreciate its focus on simplicity, reminds…

Like the OpenBSD developers, a posture much needed these days.

I share the same fascination you have. I'm always interested in how our brains collectively developed ways to communicate through spoken languages, it makes wonder how things will …

And the same kind of practices where done in El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, Bolivia, Perú, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, to name a few.

FreeBSD's kernel offers better performance (on the server) compared to Linux, and the licensing model makes it more attractive to some industries. Whatsapp (server side), Netflix, …

When I read things like this, it makes appreciate OpenBSD (and the rest of projects under the OpenBSD Foundation) even more, considering how it is still actively and fearlessly mai…

The most "iconic" example of failure most be the shellshock bug in bash, though the time in which it was fixed should be applauded.

GNU stands for a philosophy of freedom, thus guixsd won't provide official repositories for installing proprietary software, some users don't like it, even though they might be int…

I agree with you on 16/44.1 audio, I have a transparent DAC that can output 24/96, and on repeated blind tests I have failed to identify which is which, using files from the same s…

If you are into headphones, you could start hanging out on the subreddit. It's a big community, and you'll see many of the current technologies. It could get really expensive, I me…

Here I am too. I stick to dwm, currently migrating to wmutils because portability, no compositing on my side. Firefox is the only GUI program I use (besides st), and it will probab…

This GRUB bug you are talking about, is not a kernel problem though; on a side note, I'm going to read on the links you provided as I want to see if encrypted root partitions could…

Software is the implementation of an algorithm using a specific language and tools.

This looks good, I think that it would be worth giving it a shot. My main problem is XML, it is always incredibly slow to parse, and there is not an accepted defined way to express…

> My first statement is likely stronger than it needs to be. My main question back to you is, how do you look for something that you imagine may exist, but couldn't say how? I cert…
