If I remember correctly you need both. Program the cells to be X organ cells, and provide a scaffold for them to grow on.

I just restarted using RSS recently. And I discovered I can also use it to track software releases (on github). The url is the release page with .atom appended. Eg https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases.atom

I've decided that titles are mostly meaningless in software. What X title means in one org means another in a different one with near zero overlap, and another title might have considerable overlap with a differently named one but view

Perl has subroutine signatures now. You can write sub foo ($x, $y, $x) { ...} It's just syntactic sugar, so you still can't pass in multiple lists, and the list must be the final parameter.

Not sure if you've deliberately put in two bugs there haha 1. shift only shifts off the first element. 2. (if classify this as a bug) using $a and $b are frowned upon because they're the default variables when using sort.

It'd be interesting to see open data about this. My understanding is games with microtransactions optimise for "whales", people who spend inordinate amounts of money. While the majority of users don't pay anything, or at

They definitely aren't unique even without reboots. Postfix uses the inode number as a queue id. At $dayjob we've seen reuse surprisingly quickly, even within a few hours. Which is a little annoying when we're log spelunking
