It was cool until I saw it needs gradlew to build and Java 17+ to be installed.

You haven't touched its core code for two years, what happened? Gave it up?
Same here, I just play with it around 30s before I notice CPU problem.
I can open that link. Try VPN?

But I cannot open the archive.is link, not even with VPN.

Re:China lands Chang'e-4 on far side of Moon on Friday January 04, 2019 @02:42AM (#18822572)
Most of Chinese think Yuhuangdadi(玉皇大帝) and Wangmuniangniang(王母娘娘) are husband&wife, they work together to control all the gods(gods are not like western gods, they have 仙 and 神), but there are multiple versions of myths(books) and rumors mentioning them, none of them tells the relationship of them for sure, we can only deduce their relationship from the context. From different versions of sources, they can be: 1. husband&wife, 2. colleagues, 3. sister&brother, 4. mother&son.

There is something wrong with the `eshell/x` function, if start `Ctrl-!` in scratch buffer, after execute `x` in eshell prompt, there will `Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil x` in scratch buffer; if I start `Ctrl-!` in init.el, there will be `Marker points into wrong buffer: #<marker at 955 in scratch> x` in my init.el file.

Obviously he is not an enemy of the Chinese people, but the enemy of the Party.
I'm Chinese. The most confusing thing for me between English and Chinese is the number. English number is seperated by comma every 3 digits (thousand, million, billion),no matter in formats like 3 billion or 100,000,000, but in Chinese, the number is seperated by 4 digits, and this happens in every format except one, printed 100,000,000 format. The printed ditgit format is affected by western world and for international convenience. When we say or write it in Chinese we use "万"(ten thousand) and "亿"(one hundred million) which are 1,0000 and 1,0000,0000 (I never see this digit format which is seperated by comma every 4 digits), so every time I see something like 123 million or 123,456,789 in English, I'll seperated it from 3 by 3 to 4 by 4, million is 1,000,000 which is 100,0000, so 123 million which is 123,000,000 will be converted into 1,2300,0000 which is 1亿2300万, in my head.

Finally.

I remember that the fist problem occurred to me that wasn't not solved by Google was solved by asking in the mailing list of tmux, and now it it moved to Github, I can finally ask question at the issue page.

I haven't pushed my local conf.fish file to Github for months (but I think it is no big difference), I'll test the v2.2-beta later at home in my local.fish and push it to Github, maybe you can test it then.

BTW, you should mention https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/wiki/Nightly-builds after "You can try the beta now", because I cannot get beta at http://fishshell.com/beta/
Re:Fish shell on Monday May 18, 2015 @09:20PM (#9567716)
It sounds amazing.

Hey, since you are the lead dev of the fish shell, a serious problem occurred to me weeks ago, I was compiling a QT client in fish, and there is already an environment value called `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (including other values the compilation needs) defined in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and /etc/profile.d/ but fish cannot find them, if I use `set -g ...` to set it in fish shell prompt and then do the compilation, it will work, it took me a lot time to figure it out that this is the problem of fish-shell, the weird thing is, there is already one line `#!/bin/sh` at the beginning of the compilation script (it is a bash script called build.sh), so it should be executed under sh which is bash in my CentOS.

Re:Ccat – syntax highlighting cat on Wednesday May 06, 2015 @04:34AM (#9497259)
Why not use `less` instead of `cat`? Besides it is very easy to use `pygmentize` and `source-highlight` to get syntax highlighting result.

I tried this for Chrome for a couple days and found that it really didn't block too much ads(I can say none ads were blocked) comparing to ABP.
