Usually updates fix the problem. But I loved how the last update failed with a very clear "Error $SomeNumber". I just love Microsoft's style. ...

> still recommending Telegram I'm not. I'm just saying that the majority of my friends are using it. For me it's better than skype and whatsapp. The GNU/Linux client works fine (al…

I was thinking on this topic. You know what's the problem with alternatives? Nobody uses them. I'm seriously pissed off by this. I recently saw how all my friends moved to Telegram…

The last time I used this tool (two years ago, I think), it was quite problematic to have it running. I was not able to find a suitable tutorial for it. Was this problem fixed nowa…

As a GNU/Linux user, I join the choir of frustration. I'm not adding my own experience, since it's the same for everyone. My two cents about alternatives: appear.in Not so good wit…

Wait, does that mean that I have to blindly trust the versions the author put on github? Does that also mean I don't get the up to date javascript library when they change?

Wait, what? How could someone reconstruct single commits? There was no Git back then! The patch program is quite old (1985), but those patches go back to 1972.

This post sounds a bit like trolling :D However, I believe the real power of Perl, besides the obviously awesome regex handling, is the "huffmann" principle of making common things…

I'm in no way an ipv6 expert, but I'm quite surprised it works bad for China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Next_Generation_Internet

Not a real question, but a sincere Thank You for the efforts. I believe maintainers should be praised more.

My two cents: I used cmus before, but in the long term I still prefer mplayer. I construct the playlists myself by using soft-links to the actual paths of the songs. Real files are…

https://www.xkcd.com/292/ Sorry, I had to.

Funny list of pictures. Another cool thing, besides icebergs, would be a service checking for escapes given the URL. Or for other caveats (e.g. is the url https? Is it editing weir…

Tried with vim, I see the escapes, cristal clear. However, I honestly don't see why I should do something foolish as `curl | sh`, even though from time to time I see websites sugge…

Sorry, I don't get it. Why is this interesting?

The troll of the day: > How about using ViM? Thanks for sharing, this post made my day.

That's an important point: never use this trick with huge logs...

Eventually Microsoft will be able to reinvent Unix. Just keep the faith.

It works fine indeed. I'm using it all the time.
