I meant it as an euphemism for "it's universally sought after (i.e., you'll probably find a job)". Few would think being a programmer gives you some kind of special "social status"…

There's also the economic problem that programmers had until recently been highly regarded because steps 2-3 were hard. "Open source" solved this partially by utilizing the labor s…

I can't speak for the other projects you listed, but at least chawan is actively maintained by yours truly.

I like to have a simple config AND a real scripting language. That way, the UX for changing "simple" things remains straightforward (you can even add a config editor panel), while …

Isn't that effectively the same as or-later? I can always fork your project, change the MAINTAINERS file, and relicense without your consent.

Validation errors aren't really "exceptions" to be thrown, they are indicators for authors that something is probably wrong but they make no visible difference in the output. I'm n…

> as we know it today An important nuance you seem to be missing is that SUSv3 is equivalent to "IEEE Std 1003.1-2001" (that is, POSIX 2001). In practice, I've had to work around m…

That "deeper explanation" seems incorrect, considering that the KSC column is empty in the mapping linked above.

The "other standard" in this case being IBM-944. (At least looking at https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode1.0.0/ch06.pdf p. 574 (=110 in the PDF) I only see a mapping from U+21…

w3m doesn't support chafa for inline image display. (You can set a custom w3mimgdisplay command, but it has to speak the same protocol as w3mimgdisplay. If you're feeling adventuro…

The greatest mistake IMO is the way float state leaks out of blocks, as this is both extremely unintuitive and undesirable for performance reasons.[1] Floats should've been restric…

I actually wonder if transpiling calc/min/max/etc. expressions to JS is a viable path to implementation, considering that you already need a fast interpreter for these.

I've just tried and when I open a bunch of new tabs, Firefox truncates the "new tab" text to "new" and a Firefox logo. Same thing happens with other titles. (Then at some point it …

Popular browsers support tabs. When you have many tabs open, it's hard to show a meaningful title for each one. An icon takes up less place and is easier to scan for visually.
