Yup! You can even get Android Auto to work without Google Play:

To respond to your edit, yes - it seems like the app is down - nothing seems to load at all on the Browse tab or anywhere else...

I've worked at a shop with a lot of legacy code and a very fragile build environment. The myriad of scripts that source scripts that source other scripts to produce a working build were all written in KSH - as well as the majority of the tools to set up an environment to actually run the software. Since these scripts were intended to be sourced, adding a shebang doesn't solve the issue at all.

Fortunately, zsh can operate in ksh emulation mode [1] so I was able to leverage zsh while I was there to some extent.

The system I worked on there is still being actively used and developed today and still relies on a fragile set of ksh scripts to build and run in certain environments.

This is not always true. Fedora maintains over 100 RedHat exclusive patches for grub2 alone:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/tree/rawhide

Some of these are pretty questionable, particularly disabling the use of "grub-install" on UEFI systems (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1917213)

yt-dlp actually does have the same issue (at least when connecting from the US):

Milkdrop lives on in ProjectM, the community maintained open source fork of the final milkdrop source release:

There's even pulseaudio/JACK versions of projectM that allow you to pipe any audio source into projectM to visualize. Enjoy!

SDL1 can be installed alongside of SDL2. Same with GTK and Qt. I really fail to see the issue here. If a developer of a Qt4 application doesn't feel like updating to Qt5, users can still use the Qt4 version with Qt5 installed in their system. Most Linux distributions still package Qt5, Qt4, Gtk3, Gtk2, Gtk1.2, SDL1.2, SDL2...

On top of that, if a binary-only application really wanted to stand the test of time, it could statically link the libraries.

Lucky for you. I have really come to love zsh's sh and ksh emulation features for this very reason. I have worked in various work environments where setting up a build environment or a testing environment required sourcing ksh scripts that sourced even more ksh scripts. The majority of the engineers on these teams would "deal with" ksh for this reason but a few of the "geekier" engineers would set up zsh with ksh emulation in order to work in a more usable shell.

So long as you don't need to "source" any of these POSIX-compliant scripts into your environment... A shebang'd script cannot affect the environment of the parent process

The article is from 2013 but I believe this is what he is referring to:

If setting up an IRC client is a large barrier to entry for a coder, I would have some serious doubts about the merits of their code.

To be fair to your first point, if you set up a bouncer or use a client inside of screen/tmux you can absolutely catch up on what was said earlier in IRC.

Firefox is blocking the external javascript because the site is being served over https but the scripts are not. You can see this in the console:

Blocked loading mixed active content "http://examples.phaser.io/embed.php?f=arcade+physics/angle+b... [1]

HTML5 is less to blame here; the administrator of phaser.io should configure their service to serve these javascript files over HTTPS

Firefox absolutely does that for you [1]. You can even run your own sync server if you are into that sort of thing [2]. Works on all desktop platforms and mobile platforms that firefox runs on.

You might want to look into roundcube [1] which is another PHP webmail application that has a very nice UI,, (more) mature codebase, and is on an (arguably) better license (GPL3). I can't say how it compares to rainloop because the demo servers are slammed right now, but I would recommend roundcube in general.

SourceForge recently forced their users to change their passwords [1] because of an attack on their infrastructure [2]. Pure speculation but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with this?

HN _may not_ be the best place to ask for copyrighted NES/Famicom ROM files (i bet they aren't too hard to find though)

However, you might also be interested in checking out some "homebrew" NES ROM files that developers have put together. There are some pretty interesting games here:

Thank you based god!!

Running a daemon in screen can also been useful when for whatever reason the daemon accepts commands via stdin. I know a lot of game servers do this. For example, with the Quake3 server you can use stdin to list users, ban users, change maps, and do other things without having to launch a game client and authenticating as a server admin. Although I guess technically if a server process supports interactive input then its not a "daemon" anymore, but I'm not keeping score.

NVIDIA actually does a great job with their binary blob drivers and they are much more reliable than the AMD Catalyst drivers for Linux. It sounds like your problem lies with compiz/ubuntu. Maybe try a different window manager/distro?

Looks like the menu widget and icons are not using GTK for whatever reason. It may be worth pinging the KeePass developers with a screenshot showing that the GTK theme is not being respected properly when rendering the menu - the menu even looks odd using a light-colored theme like Clearlooks because it doesn't match the theme.

This article mentions that there is no native 1Password client for Linux and recommends some kind of dropbox workaround. While this probably true at the time of writing, Icculus recently wrote a native Linux client [1]. There's more details about it in this G+ post if you are interested:

Some packages will be held back by apt-get until you "dist-upgrade" them and apt-get will notify you of the held back packages when you apt get "upgrade".

Steam is included in the Linux Mint 16 repositories and you shouldn't have issues installing it from the package manager. Or you can always "apt-get install steam". Like most Linux applications, you are better off installing the application from the package manager instead of from the upstream website.

Speaking of Milkdrop, the sources of milkdrop 1 and 2 have been released [1]. A couple developers have taken the milkdrop 1 sources and built them into a cross platform visualization software called projectM [2]. Milkdrop forever!

I think you mean audacious [1] not audacity [2] although both are useful tools (If you're not familiar, audacious is a media player that supports XMMS plugins and Winamp2 skins). But WRT Audacious vs XMMS, I've also noticed that audacious doesn't seem to scale as well as XMMS with a lot of songs in your playlist.
