On descents you can also pick up a lot of speed by getting a heavier bike and supersizing your meals at McDonalds. Speed on descents isn't really that relevant - you're descending, so unless you're racing it's practicall

While I prefer to use a keyboard, it is not true that keyboard are universally faster. Even text navigation can be significantly faster with a mouse if done right, especially if you start to go into button chords. What works best is heavily

Ventoy is great[0], but with laptops easily having 2TB for cheap nowadays, leaving room for a sub-1GB ISO on the boot partition is not really space that would be missed. I also feel that any time one really needed an ISO, no flash drive nea

Offering your public key only allows them to identify the key and prove you have it. There is no security concern in sending this to an untrusted server. Agent forwarding is a whole other beast.

Just to be clear, ssh agent forwarding is disabled by default and enabling it is always a hazard when connecting to machines that others also have access to. Not at all specific to this.

Well, if MS-DOS is something you'd be comfortable debugging issues within, then I imagine you'd be even happier using live images to debug issues. For smaller ISOs, you can even just stuff it on your boot partition and have e.g. t

> Commits are both snapshots of the entire repo, and diffs, and delta compressions - none of these is "a lie". Commits are never diffs. Commits are snapshots, and sometimes git computes a diff between two commits. Commits are a

Well, yes - git log does have special handling of commits with multiple parents because everything it shows is a special cased lie. Why? Because commits do not contain diffs or patches, but are instead full snapshots of the repository as

by arghwhat 3y ago
Indeed, through commits with multiple parents (merges), you can end up having multiple orphan commits (initial commits). Multiple initial commits are a bit rarer, usually stemming from merging in entirely different git repos with their own

One never rebases shared code. They rebase their own work branch. Messing with history of master/main/integration branches should be blocked. Rebase is a necessary part of a workflow even if you like merge commits. You're sev

All but the first commit has parents. All commits point to the state of the file tree at that point. A "merge commit" is nothing more than a commit claiming any number of parents greater than one. It is still its own file tree ref

I agree that Github has rights to parse any uploaded code, and any code with a license that would allow a human to study and learn from it does, in my opinion, also allow a machine to study and learn from it. Granted, the machine has to l

Native code does not replace efficient algorithms. V8 can also JIT JS to something that runs fast, although the extra layers of abstraction between web code and platform interfaces do not help, and V8 can only do so much.

Unfortunately, we also sense the mechanical filling of the stomach, and the movement through the bowels. Unless you stop the hunger altogether I don't think you'll feel satisfied without the whole process.

Hmm? You have not changed alignment, as all your lines of code start on the same integer indentation boundary. You just moved the operator to the beginning of the line, and changed the bug between the two examples. Either you misunderstood

Would you consider a file without any indentation as readable and practical as a file without single-space alignments? Not to mention that in languages like Python, indentation is syntax.

Aligning a character on one line with an arbitrary character on another line is purely a choice of style, not a requirement. It is perfectly doable to do only tabs, but many end up mixing in spaces. The curse of space-only files is in peo
