Not to mention that this is geared toward people who write papers with a minimum of equations. Unless a paper is math-heavy, it probably doesn't need the typesetting that TeX offers.

If Linus, at the time, felt otherwise, git probably wouldn't have been created.

On the upside, it's not like they'll need physical bodies for their immortality. Just a quantum mainframe with an unlimited power supply.

Good way of thinking of something like that is that it's a "spare tire". It's not meant to completely replace the busted part, but just last long enough until you can get a proper replacement installed. In the military,

Perhaps, but if that's the case, isn't it better for a democratic nation to be a risk to a dictatorship's national security rather than the other way around? Better America be dominant than China or Russia.

There's also the OneOf NuGet package [1] which I've put to good use in a number of projects. Using `object` and `is` means you can't enforce what types get passed in, nor can you ensure that all possible types actually get ha

Ships are not she/her and yet we use that kind of language with them all the time. Silly thing to quibble about.

If you want to "confidently accept deliverable email addresses" the only solution is to send a test message out with a link that the recipient has to visit to validate that the email address exists. Otherwise what about regex and

I think what Mashimo means is that Infoteam.ch thinks that `+` is invalid when it isn't. Sadly they're far from the only ones whose email validation code won't accept the plus character, or many other legal characters in th

The transition from "free-range" kids to the helicopter parenting they experience now also informs a lot of the issues with college and university students being afraid of challenge and ideas they've not already come across.

For any Windows users, I've created a Chocolatey package [1] that should hopefully make it through review within the next 48 hours. [1] https://chocolatey.org/packages/git-sizer/1.0.0

OneNote is probably not working as KB software for you because it's not meant to be that. Consider it as a personal scrapbook with pages you might show to other people, and get a proper KB platform.

I'd argue that they can also be implemented in a much more lightweight fashion than having to go through a whole OAuth flow just for a mobile app that hits an API that you control completely.

An additional overhead between 20% and 25% definitely doesn't feel reasonable to me. Hopefully this isn't linear.

I want to read this, but the lack of reasonable formatting for the ebook editions is driving me up the wall. I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up reformatting it myself and producing my own PDF and EPUBs.

(2016) A lot of these issues have been resolved since the article was originally written. A few still exist (the Crypto NG .NET APIs) but honestly this piece could be totally rewritten for the .NET Core 2.x world.

Pretty much every modern version control system treats binary files as undiffable and simply stores the whole thing as a hunk. The issue with Git affects pretty much all distributed version control since it requires keeping the entire histo

Once they ship malware in any one form, anything else from a developer is eternally suspect. Even if they don't do something like this in their apps' main executables _now_ doesn't mean they won't in the future. Once a c

They don't need to have any control of patents to do this, though, they can simply operate through FUD alone. Even though it's illegal, US IP law is very weak against such fraudulent behaviour and the slap on the wrist they _might
