Is it? On my system the only things depending on binutils (which libbfd is part of) are gcc, clang and perf (seems archlinux doesn't care). That makes it arguably not a system library, so it's fair that Debian would want to steer

But do you know if alpine does official docker images namespaced as e.g. alpine/? Is "alpine-glibc" an official project and someone just helpfully made the image (or an image including an official glibc package)? Or is this a

I mean, okay, it's the program's fault. But it is part of the trade-off you make using musl, and one that I, personally, wouldn't decide in its favor. As the user, you have the choice to use musl and "battle quite a fe

It doesn't outright state anywhere that it's not an official alpine product, and I don't know if everyone reads the site - many people will just copy the "FROM frolvlad/alpine-glibc" from elsewhere. In any case

What's wrong with that is the reason trademarks exist: Confusion. If something is called "alpine-glibc", it's reasonable to expect that it's by the alpine people and supported like alpine. This, as we see here, anno

I can see that argument, but I kinda don't agree? The issue with the heuristic is that it can fail depending on the input, and the input can easily change in a way that kills the heuristic. Say you run the tool on a file, and it dete

Yes, but that's only automagic and brittle because it's not an actual join on the foreign key. It's a join on whatever happens to have the same name! Which sometimes happens to be the foreign key. The point here is that SQL

And it also breaks if two non-key columns are named the same. This makes naming key columns differently a defence technique, so you stop people from using natural joins.

Does anyone know of a nice git interface for Neovim? I would love to get off of emacs, but it's hard to beat Magit. At the very least something that lets me view the repo status and stage selections would be good.
