Hmm. Any idea why some wouldn't show up? I posted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36588940 but don't see it in the list.

Thanks for the extra context. Nothing wrong with deferring unnecessary detail! The word "executable" implied it was also compiling, and that surprise sent me out from the text to confirm I was understanding (since I hadn't se

Not just that, but: - the individual opportunity costs of learning multiple VCSs likely outweigh the cost of learning 1, even if it's suboptimally difficult - the community-wide leverage lost by having significant fractions of prospect

A few questions/notes from reading the post and looking at the repo: 1. Is the post trailing the repo, or vice-versa? This line in the README describes a different command format and seems to suggest that {{}} caused trouble? https:&#

Interesting to see how the writer scratches this itch. I've been managing the same basic friction with multiple incremental copies of the source files, a little shell script to generate diffs/logs/artifacts, and some make-bas

I find saccharine and stevia both ~bitter. I don't love aspartame, but it's tolerable in a pinch. Edit: I went to look and guess I'm mistaken below on Sucralose in zero-branded sodas. It sounds like most of these do have aspa

If your toolchain does something silly like eval some output from git, cloning and then triggering that interaction (probably cding in) could be enough. I made a little test repo for this a while back https://github.com/abat

I haven't read Sapiens, but The Selfish Gene does have a section on memetic fitness which IIRC addresses the helpfulness of both being compelled to spread the idea and reject value systems that could destabilize it.

I don't cook enough (and never steak) for you to assign me much weight, but FWIW I've had a (lighter, spun) cast iron skillet for 8ish years. I followed a seasoning procedure available online that involves (IIRC) 3 rounds of apply

Heh! Not sure if it's a cosmic coincidence, but I posted something ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36410781 ) similar based on https://github.com/bashup/events a few hours ago in another thre

As an aside, I love fat manuals (and change/release notes) that have a bit of interesting arcana tucked away in one or two calm sentences here and there. Not that I regularly read them all myself, but it's nice to be rewarded with

Yep. Definitely something you can do manually, but the API makes it easier to reason about and coordinate across otherwise disconnected/unrelated code.

I like combining this with a bash implementation of an event API ( https://github.com/bashup/events ). This makes it easy/idiomatic, for example, to conditionally add cleanup as you go. Glossing over some complexity

I think this is technically an option, but IIUC it'll have plenty of its own hurdles. The cache is populated by the results of builds run by NixOS's hydra build farm over a period of many years, and hydra stays busy enough that it
