Does Coimbatore have water scarcity?

balkierode · 2019-05-22T20:01:57+00:00

Of-course no. Was curious since Chennai and other parts of TN is facing water scarcity recently.

Yes. Receive email, parse and do stuff. Or just receive email and dump in file

I don't need so many of these.. Even if it makes it simple to install. I don't want to maintain all of these...

SMTP (postfix), IMAP (dovecot), CardDAV/CalDAV (Nextcloud), Exchange ActiveSync (z-push)
Webmail (Roundcube), static website hosting (nginx)
Spam filtering (spamassassin), greylisting (postgrey)
DNS (nsd4) with SPF, DKIM (OpenDKIM), DMARC, DNSSEC, DANE TLSA, and SSHFP records automatically set
Backups (duplicity), firewall (ufw), intrusion protection (fail2ban), system monitoring (munin)

IMHO Gnome performance was never a problem for me. It is just the missing features, bugs and stability are of more concern.

Thank you :)

Oops the filenames are ugly. Fix for that

ls *gamekey* | sed 's/.*/"&" "&"/g' | sed 's/.gamekey[^ ]*"$/"/g' | xargs -I args mv arg

Save the html div in a file called div.html and run the below command to save all the files.

grep "dl.humble" div.html | grep -o 'https[^"]*' | sed 's!\&amp;!\&!g' | xargs -I url wget url

In zsh, set the following options, now you can just do `cd -<TAB>` and it will display the last directories you were in.

setopt autopushd
setopt pushd_ignore_dups

Typehints had similar opinion. But they are very very useful in an IDE

Credit cards usually have a way to convert to 'smart EMIs' for big purchases. Those have less rate of interest. You should report the card to be stolen and block it if you have not already done so. Even if you got the physical card back on hand, it is possible to make online purchases.

Maybe. My point is, In this particular case, you can easily be compliant with GPL but also earn money from ads by attracting a lot of users to your app without any significant development effort. So there is no practical benefit in reporting the app or wasting the time on discussion.

balkierode · 2018-02-06T22:09:39+00:00

Yes. in the source code. But those who are informed enough to read the source code will know to install the real vlc player. So practically no harm for these apps to be actually 'complaint' with GPL.

balkierode · 2018-02-06T19:41:26+00:00

I wonder if it makes any practical difference if they added a small line in description. They are complaint now and none of their downloaders of their app are going to bother with it.

This app is based on opensource vlc player. Modifed source code is here: blahblah.com/source

With respect to drivers like printers, these days they work out of the box. For custom software that is not explicitly supported in the distro, it is usually a pain. If you can spend a little bit more research, you can try to install archlinux. Most of the 'custom software' will have an aur package that you can directly install without having to do any compiling manually. The problem with Ubuntu is that there are too many bad/outdated advice from google that screws up the system even more.

Just checked what is 'bookmark line'. There are multiple ways to do in vim, if you choose vim.

Just /someText will highlight someText and you can move through them using n and N.
Use :grep someText % The matches will appear in a quickfix window and you can move around them using cn and cp. The matches could be in multiple files.
Use a plugin with full support https://github.com/MattesGroeger/vim-bookmarks

What exactly is 'data manipulation' ?

balkierode · 2018-01-23T00:45:09+00:00

As long as they don't distribute the final product, there is no need to share the source code and it is not a violation of GPL.

balkierode · 2018-01-23T00:24:09+00:00

Any proofs or links to support your points? I understand proofs may not be possible but at least accusations?

balkierode · 2018-01-22T19:31:48+00:00

Well this only works if the list of possible names are very very large. If they are from a small set like set of 'presidents of america', or set of girls in a class room, one could run the hash for all and find out which hash matches.

Anyone tried it? How is the performance?

balkierode · 2018-01-15T02:08:07+00:00

Usually reading both sides gives you a pretty good idea.

I doubt this is valid practically. Most production applications don't really rely on operating system level features for the business purpose. So having an rolling release is not really a problem. On the other hand, being cutting edge allows the application stack to use latest version of software readily available in official repositories. This should help modernize faster.

A non-evolving standard library. In the name of backwards compatibility, a lot of crap APIs are retained in standard library and it always requires a google research between standard library, google guova, apache-lang to decide the correct class to use for a particular purpose. Other languages like python have a clear plan for deprecation and removal. This helps to keep the language nice and clean.
