PuTTY is (or was, in the years before WSL) the go-to SSH client for Windows. If you're a Windows user getting onboarded at a job / uni class which uses Linux machines, installing it is the first thing you'd be told. The…
In that specific case, you could add those data to Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19867977#P2541
Great, now someone can backport it to one of the good versions. Maybe Mojang's implementation is better than the Nvidium mod. (For those OOTL, Mojang prohibits mods which backport preview/experimental features to stable…
Does that make this a list of lists of lists of lists? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q957#sitelinks-wikipedia
The original reCAPTCHA which was used to train OCR came out back when Google was at least pretending to not be evil, hence the favourable coverage about old books. Now that the challenges are used to train Waymo cars…
For JPEG compression: https://parametric.press/issue-01/unraveling-the-jpeg/#param... (anchor doesn't work for me, but it's the one with the caption "Move slider to adjust the amount of subsampling applied." which made…
Which of Ladybird's sponsors are adtech? None of their websites proclaim them to be in the advertising business at least.
F-Droid has a build farm, they don't just host apks uploaded by developers, so it can't be attacked in that way. https://f-droid.org/en/docs/FAQ_-_App_Developers/#will-my-ap...
There is of course a FOSS rewrite https://mathics.org
The repo (it looks like ~500 LOC of C# in a single file with no deps, cool): https://github.com/joshkartz/Fixed-Gear-Goldbach-Engine

.NET (C#) is getting there with Vector<T>.
I believe the problem in Ladybird's case is missing JS APIs https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/226
Kotlin fixes the null handling problem too, and with the added benefit of being able to gradually migrate Java code.
There are a lot of good comments here already, but I can't let this pass by the main page without taking the opportunity to rail against Lua because, no, it's not underrated. It's everywhere and terrible. This article…
You have named all the players. Maybe throw ShoutWiki in there, but I recently tried to create a wiki there and it wasn't working—YMMV. There's also NIWA, focused on Nintendo-related IP, but I believe that's more of a…
Most of the platforms you mention are "replacements" which have "won" over a long term—Google unseated AltaVista and Yahoo!, Reddit outlived Digg and SlashDot, and microblogging like Twitter started as blogs. And of…
The .NET Core Runtime works great on Linux, but it can't run .NET Framework apps, hence wine-mono.
wine-mono for one. It's also used for some desktop apps, crucially for those built with the WinForms framework, since the newer, .NET Core versions of that are Windows-only.
Look at the release history and you'll see it was already on life support. MS stopped adding new features to .NET Framework with 4.8 but Mono has yet to reach parity with that.
The thing the .NET team maintains is (a fork of) the Mono Runtime/JIT. Mono's implementation of the .NET Framework BCL (= stdlib) isn't part of modern .NET.
> Is there somewhere where someone new to the ecosystem can get a simple introduction to all of these different terms and which ones are still relevant today? Not really. It's legacy cruft all the way down. But the good…
In this case you don't have to find and sideload an .apk though, it's available in the main F-Droid repo. I'd argue that it would be safer than the Play Store version because F-Droid builds are at least reproducible,…
