What is BOSS Linux's contribution to upstream (Debian) ? AFAIK, it's zero.
Some gripes about BOSS:
(1) On the BOSS Download page, the download button downloads i386. Why isn't the 64-bit ISO listed there ?
(2) Why are there no torrents for ISOs ? Don't they know how bad Internet connection in India is ?
As far localization, my experience had been that BOSS is no better than Debian.

Linus Torvalds would be so happy to hear that Linux is moving to C++ and OOP. http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/c++/linus

Indeed, Venkatadhvari's 17th century Sanskrit work Raghava Yadaveeyam narrates the story of Ramayana (left-to-right) and Mahabharata (right-to-left) simultaneously.

NixOS has been discussed many times on HN already. However, Nix 1.9 was released today (/yesterday for the some):

What does this do that `apt-get autoremove` doesn't?

Thanks, cool tool ! A suggestion: Making the first column to have URL linking to the repo's homepage would be useful.

Another one for Mac: [Multimarkdown Composer][1]. A friend of mine uses it and I think it worked well.

Are your graphs up to date ? Seems just an hour ago [1]:
> Rust: build with --release. 10X performance boost!
That might mean that Rust would top the charts instead of Nim.

Indeed it does, although not directly. From the RFC:
> TEXTDATA = %x20-21 / %x23-2B / %x2D-7E
So, it is a subset of ASCII whose hex codes must lie in the ranges given above. Basically, any printable ASCII character with the exception of 0x22 (= double quote) and 0x2C (=comma) which serve other purposes.

Indeed, your format looks exactly like what Perl's CHANGES spec stipulate: https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/CPAN-Changes/lib/CPAN/...

Nitpick:
> The idea is to use zero-width and space characters of UTF-8 such as U+200B, U+200C, U+200D
That must be Unicode, not UTF-8.

I'm getting an error message [1]:
"Sorry your session has expired. Kindly login again to continue."
even if I have just logged in. I cleared cookies, etc. but no use. And that error text is in white font over pink background -- hard to read without mouse-selecting.

I had the exact same problem on an Ubuntu server at work. Since I don't have root access, I was forced to compile from source. I gave up when I couldn't compile Cabal.
My solution was Multimarkdown 4 [1]. It supports many basic Pandoc features I need (tables, etc.). Exports to HTML and PDF. Since it is written in C, the compilation was straight forward. 10 minutes later, my document is ready. Couldn't have been happier.
