Sure, you can. It might not be a good idea in the long term.

GitHub specifically invented the idea of "forking" as a social action on a forge site that allows you to create your own associated copy of a repository. This is related to but different from the broader meaning of "fork&quot

My point is that GitHub does not personally want to have a hand on the reins, or whatever metaphor we're doing here. A private fork is a copy of the original code that GitHub is holding onto. A clone on your personal computer or server

This behavior was not introduced to GitHub by Microsoft.

This is because forking is a social feature. If the origin repo is unwilling to accept pull requests from you, there's no reason to let you fork.

GitHub doesn't allow you to make a public fork of a private repo, either. When you make a fork of a private repo, the resulting repo is constrained to have no broader access than the original.

This is how private forks have worked at GitHub forever.

Right, the entire point of GitHub forks is to make it easier to upstream your local changes to the original repository. If you have no interest in doing that you shouldn't use a fork.

GitHub coined this particular use of "fork", and it's always been about having an automatically managed relationship between the original repository and the new one. A copy without that automated connection is a clone.

This doesn't affect me currently, but I used to (privately) watch Netflix at work all the time. This policy would (IMO unreasonably) prevent me from doing that. They could probably get most of the effect they want by limiting this poli

This isn't a Rustacean evangelizing their language, though, it's a leading developer in a project making a case to the rest of the dev team. OP presumably has some idea of how the rest of the team feels about C++ and CMake and how

The point of the "bashing on C++" is to present a persuasive argument for the rewrite: "the status quo is unworkable, we need a solution, Rust is the best solution". This is a much stronger case for something as drastic

Anecdotally I've seen plenty of people talk about the Rust-in-Linux endeavor like it was a gang of door-to-door missionaries that banged on old man Torvalds' door until he begrudgingly let them come in for a cup of coffee. I don&#

If there is a trend toward identity and tribalism, it would be a pretty natural response to the midcentury trend toward isolated nuclear families and hyper-individualism. My recollection was that culture in the '90s was actually quite

Americans mostly have dishwashers. I think the problem is that dishwashers vary a lot in how much crud they can handle. Growing up we had a detachable unit that hooked up to the sink. That limited its ability to discharge any solid particle

If anything, the problem with modern-day politics is that politicians are too committed to their ideological beliefs and are not corrupt enough to be bribed into cooperation.

Great news. I notice they don't say anything about the licensing of "D&D One", and I'm guessing there's a good reason for that, but there's a huge difference between using a different license for your new p

There were a lot of "DUNC" jokes about the poster, like that the main character was named "Dunc". (Real Dune heads may have some "well, actually" thoughts about that.)

Sure, but that's not a principle I'm willing to eat snotchos for. Paying the bribe is the rational choice, even if the vast majority of recipients would never dream of messing with your food.

You don't bribe someone because you think they deserve a bribe. That's not a bribe, it's a gift.

Every day I benefit from the labor of people who make less than most waiters, and I can't tip them. Either they're not physically present to be tipped or company policy prohibits them from accepting tips. I think it's fair to

I've definitely seen engines with optional UI/QOL improvements included in ScummVM. Ultima VI, for instance, has a number of options that make it play a little closer to Ultima VII.
