Under the hood, Minetest is way cooler than it looks: It actually implements a generalized 3D cellular automaton framework in which each cube in the world is driven by a small Lua program – which makes it much easier to mod than Minecraft.

You did not answer my question, but I guess it does not matter with the new strategy. Looks like embrace-extend-extinguish to me – has it always been a goal of Keybase to replace PGP with something keybase-specific or did something change?

Does keybase still upload the private PGP key to the keybase server by default? https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/160

What I do not understand: Why not write a simple IRC (or even XMPP) client – but an “IRC-like” client? The documentation is out there. Do people feel special when their software is incompatible with older software without having features th

I do not understand. I know that make(1) has many implicit rules – but which of the problems I mentioned does this solve and how? Please be specific about your solution.
39.
by erlehmann_ 10y ago
A makefile consists of rules. Each rule contains a dependency line which defines a target and an enumeration of prerequisites. This means that the dependencies have to be known before the target is built. By design, it is impossible for a s

I think that all of these are limitations of not only make(1), but all utilities that expect dependencies to be fully known before a target is built. What makes you think they are not? How would you solve all three problems I listed using m

I know at least three reasons why makefiles are not working well for common use cases. Many people seem unaware of these cases, even though they seem to come up quite often. • make(1) has a hard time rebuilding target files when source file

Wikipedia, university pages, a lot of blogs and imageboards all work without advertising. It is not so much that people are “addicted to free”, it is that the showing of ads is so very easy and profitable. Site operators are to blame here.

If you are on Windows, why do you have a problem with “proprietary software in some capacity”? Are the games you want to stream also proprietary software?

With GStreamer you can put together a processing pipeline for that on the command line: “gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! timeoverlay ! xvimagesink” gives you a webcam overlay. For more info: http://wiki.oz9aec.net/index.php/Gs

TL;DR: An internet executes “man time” in Bash 3.2 on an old BSD machine (that version of Bash is over 10 years old), wants to use the BSD-specific -l option, but finds out that “time” is also a shell builtin.

I find it weird to derive ethics from fictional examples at all. The reason is “ex falso quod libet”, i.e. that one can derive any statement from a false (in this case, fictional) proposition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Starting that war might have advanced some of his goals. Depending on them, it might seem or have seemed clever. I think it is dangerous to confuse “clever” and “evil”.
