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.

So compared to plain bash without autocomplete and Ctrl+R it may be useful. It is probably a step back for everyone else.

I think it could be much worse than even a plain shell with ^R, as the llm will be slower than the normal history search and probably has less context than the $HISTFILE.

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.
