25 closed merges, of which half of them are closed and half merged. Compare that to 330 forks and 6.7k stars. This is still an overwhelmingly read-only parent fork that is basically the author's personal TIL blog. https://

Apparently the oldest fork wins, or the author of the repo can decide. https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/86769/which-fork...

Would you say you've done a lot of projects though and that was the win itself? And that despite not being able to find a purpose to most of the projects, the benefit has been the learning/growth/experience/fun/etc.

Deleting a private repository When you delete a private repository, all of its private forks are also deleted. Deleting a public repository When you delete a public repository, one of the existing public forks is chosen to be the new parent

Why would you need to create notes and go back to it though? Isn't searching for it much faster? Say you learned a nifty hotkey to backup text using a shortcut on OSX (or whatever). Why not simply search "hotkey backup osx"?

Isn't that just a blog or a subreddit? And couldn't you find all the TIL blogs by Googling for "TIL" or something?

Sorry, good work to the author. I'm kind of a downer, and personally struggling to find motivation to work on projects, but often shoot myself down first. I don't see the point in a lot of projects out there.

Makes sense. I thought about it a little more and came to the same two potential reasons.

by hhsuey 6y ago
Gotcha. So the motivating factor was for individuals to get a copy for themselves, perhaps even use it as a form of bookmark overloaded as a backup feature. They'll need to keep pulling if they want to keep it up to date, but I suppose

I don't really see the point of this, except that it helps the author stay consistent to make updates and learn things. I'm not really sure why anyone would consume this, except for curiosity into what they could do for implementi

Forgive me for my ignorance, but I haven't contributed to open source much yet. What is the reason for forking this repo. I see a lot of people have done it. Wouldn't that be akin to cloning someone else's personal blog? I ju

The correct model is that of bacteria in a petri dish. As long as you have a few bacterium left, they can regrow. And as long as we're getting reports of a few cases in major cities or countries, those cities or countries will lock dow

That's ridiculous. With that logic, if you're supposed to save X months of cash, then the very first cent you take out of that X months of cash savings, you already fucked up, b/c now you have less than X months of savings. S

Unless, the definition of fragility for a laptop is different than that of say a basketball. The former is expected to not be dropped, while the latter requires it.

I feel like this is what an engineer who doesn't really understand businesses would write. The models he writes about don't even come close to the complex realities of politics, externalities, market factors, accounting, funding,

My advice would be to define in multiple realms what you consider to be strongly focused, while both realizable and healthy in the long-term.

Taking a math course that attempts to teach some of the ways mathematicians approach their profession, which I hear is quite different than learning math or doing math the way it is taught in schools or utilized by other types of profession

"why does our team exist" is a rabbit hole for me. It goes to "why does our company exist" to "why does this industry exist" and "what am i doing with my life" and why does any of this matter".

Can you elaborate? I found the description of the two quite fuzzy.

Also, the neighborhoods tend to be safer and more inviting than those right next to the major freeways. I was originally thinking air quality is the major reason, but Vancouver has really good air quality overall compared to where I live in

We say "arse" here to be less crass.

It's the only benefit I suppose. I neglected to think about tab-completion, but I see you mentioned it at the end. I've never used it for bash. It really depends on whether I can guess or remember the first letter(s) to the option

by hhsuey 7y ago
I think bash is terse for at least 2 reasons: 1. Quicker to type repeated variations of commands at a CLI. 2. Memorization of flags isn't as much a concern since you're at the CLI, you can often easily look up the meanings of opti
