USV is better that ASV for me because USV is visible. For example I can write code samples such as: echo 'a␟b␟c␞d␟e␟f␞g␟h␟i' | tr ␟␞ '\t\n' a b c d e f g h i Yes my offer is available for o

Excellent, thank you for creating UXY! I will donate $50 to you or your favorite charity to encourage a new feature: to-usv, which outputs Unicode separated values (USV) with unit separator U+241F and record separator U+241E. Unicode separa

Fantastic blog post! The interactive demos show network effects, including spreading activation, diffusion, and game-of-life style movements. The real-world examples of epidemiology and city technology expertise are perfect IMHO. Kudos to t

Each team is free to choose their own way. Personally I like topic branch names that are read like a present tense imperative commit messages e.g. add_feature_for_user_to_like_a_post, fix_relation_between_a user_and_a_post, optimize_search_

A "feature branch" means something much different to my teams. A feature branch for us is a short-life topic branch, and typically for one use case, kanban card, etc. We use short-life topic branches for each feature, each bug fix

Congratulations and thank you! Namespaces are a big help for me personally. From the GNU Awk 5 manual: A qualified name consists of a two simple identifiers joined by a double colon (::). The left-hand identifier represents the namespace a

Zig's new release has a ton of improvements: new targets (e.g. LLVM 8, WASM, support tiers), C pointers, Vector type, better docs, and my personal favorite: Zig now makes things as static as possible by default. I love seeing all the p

Elixir and Phoenix are excellent, and you'll recognize many of the same concepts in these. The communities are excellent as well, and welcoming to newcomers.

ZID comparison with UUIDv4: 1. ZID specifies secure random number generation. UUIDv4 does not. Thus ZID is useful in higher-security areas such as creating a unique ID that functions as a password, or bearer token, or proof of knowledge, et

We changed from UUID-4 to ZID ( https://github.com/zidplan/zid ) because it's faster and easier for many of our typical projects, including ones with distributed computing and concurrent computing. ZID is a secure r

Excellent! Crossbeam is for concurrent programming. Crossbeam provides lock-free data structures (e.g. ArrayQueues), thread synchronization (e.g. ShardedLock), memory sharing (e.g. AtomicCell), and utilties (e.g. Backoff). Thank you to the
