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 vi, install nvi or use vi on *BSD.

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 connection stable.

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 importing CPAN modules to reduce the damage of potentially ho

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 there is some part of your script where you'

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 can precisely edit text far easier than anything else

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 cigarettes in a shanty bazaar.

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 keyboard. It needs both good keys and a decent layo

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 chin when appropriate, will do more for a business&#x2

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 Chromebook. Portable battery packs intended for phones woul

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 work on screen readers) but designed to be read rat

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 written 2 and 4 star reviews seem to have the greatest number o

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

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 works better in landscape. I do

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 Switches by the end of the year, but not a single PS5

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 everytime I opened a car door.

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 app, web or native, was a pain in the butt to use. Mobi

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

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 for control. Just use stdin and stdout. For example

"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 would you want to run a BSD for Gnome, Wayl

Cross-compilation would be nice. I have used asyncio to allow the GUI to run in the main thread but have other processing done separately. I am not sure I understand why you are getting a new window on Windows. Were you trying to create new

Why do you want to run a BSD? I am not particularly interested in the above, except power management and wifi. I am trying GhostBSD as an alternative specifically because I am not interested in Gnome, Wayland, or Steam. I don't hate th

I have goofed around a little bit with GUI programming for Go. Fyne is incomplete, but I did find it relatively simple to slap something together. It may turn out to be a good cross-platform toolkit in the future, but I didn't like the

This is exactly why I never bothered. Combine that with the fact users can pay $0 and then come to GitHub to complain (i.e. create a support burden), I figured it wasn't the best option for a solo developer to build a business model on
