since commercial usage is not free

Commercial usage oft the osm data is free, see the OSM license. The article even speculates that they switched from Google maps due to licenses costs.

Of course this doesn't apply to commercial services that provide e.g. map tiles.

I assume that nothing will change for contributors, as vector tiles only replace the existing renderer.

For users this will allow better zooming and customization of the rendered map.

I used VLC in the past but switched to the simple music player after having too many bugs and crashes with VLC on my phone.

One alternative are monadic types like result or maybe, that can contain either a value or an error/no value.

Maybe, but nuclear cargo ships were tried before (e.g. NS Savannah, Otto Hahn) and failed because they were too expensive.)

I recently spent some time optimizing a small Julia program I wrote that generates a lookup table of brainfuck constants. Because it only needs to run once, I originally didn't care about performance when I originally wrote it (and the optimization was mostly for fun).

I achieved an ~100x improvement by adding types, using static arrays and memoization. In the end, the performance was mostly limited by primitive math operations, I tried using multiple threads, but any synchronization destroyed the performance.

However, the most impressive thing was the ability of Julia to scale from dynamically typed scripting language to almost a compiled language with minimal changes to the code.

Having the commands listed at the bottom by default is one thing i personally dislike about nano, because they take up space while being useless to someone knowing the commands (or at least knowing how to open the help in, which is what you can do in vim to achieve the cheat sheet). The alternative that vim uses, is to show the commands when starting the editor without opening a file.

I personally would not take it out, "unused" RAM will be used by the OS as e.g. disk cache, or you could have a fairly large ramdisk.

I think a tag system as suggested by others makes the most sense, as NSFW and NSFL aren't mutually exclusive.

I don't really have a single favorite a language, if I am able to choose freely it depends on the task.

  • C++ for natively compiled programs and C interoperability, I like the types from the STL and templates.
  • Clojure is IMO great for data-oriented programs, I really like the immutability and it being a lisp. The java interop and the ability to compile to JavaScript with clojurescript can also be useful.
  • Julia for smaller (mostly numerical) programs that should be fast at runtime. The type system is great in being optional, but strong and significantly improving performance when types annotations are used.
  • Fennel (or Lua) is definitely my favorite Language for embedding into larger programs and scripting. Fennel has the advantage of being a lisp and cleanly compiling to lua.
  • brainf*ck is great as a simple language to have fun and enjoy programming

These shortcuts aren't provided by the terminal or the shell but the readline library (or zle if you use zsh), which can be configured using the ~/.inputrc file.

Easyeffects is great, or use the eq built in to pipewire to avoid an additional dependency: wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Systemwide_parametric_equalization
