I understand what you mean, thanks for the explanation. But why would you want to do that? What problem does it solve? Just that you can connect without having a private key yourself? This doesn't sound very safe.

Now, can you prove that the shortest night of the year is adjacent to the longest day? This is indeed the case for all latitudes, but it is wickedly difficult to prove. Hint: start by setting up an imaginary planet with irregular orbit whe

I hate the practice of haggling because it is based on an asymmetry in the knowledge of the sellers and buyers. Instead, I'd prefer that all past sales be visible in a publicly accessible database, so that you could just see how much

But why does the nature of the program matter at all? If a program writes a file on my home directory, I can read that file with other programs, regardless of the build flags of the first program. Why isn't my screen just the same?

The compilation instructions for ubuntu do not currently work. Apparently, you need to add qtquickcontrols2-5-dev to the list of dependencies. But then at runtime you get this error: QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component

I've used it many times with neato and it works alright. Of course, there's always some "tweaking" to do if you want the end graph to look right, but this is always the case.

But computing the hashes of all the files would take the same time as rebuilding everything, or maybe even slower. And you'd need to re-compute all these hashes even for a no-op. It's absurd. The nice thing about dates is that t

There's no -j option nor mention of parallelism on the docs. Does it run independent targets in parallel? This is easily the main feature of make. I don't understand how it can work in parallel if targets are not somehow assoc

This is a very interesting and thought provoking point of view (s/twitter.com/nitter.net/ to read it). I'd love to see a similar scathing breakdown of the economies of other countries, as well. I guess most of this sys
