   The trick with why HyperRogue works as a game does in fact come down to hyperbolic geometry; it's not a gimmick. Hyperbolic space has a lot more space in it than flat space. The circumference of a circle grows linearly with the radius

   This is the opposite of "pretty easy". (Apologies if I'm just failing to detect sarcasm.)

   All the things listed would be deflationary if anything (since people would naturally rein in spending to have a buffer against uncertainty), but you're not supposed to ask about the causal mechanism.

   I don't want Signal to have payments (or to axe SMS support). Those are both stupid things for Signal to do, which make it worse for me and worse in general. However, "what if [author's political opponents] used Signal?!&quot

   Robespierre wanted to saddle us with metric time too, you know.

   Yeah, I think pf.conf might be beyond it. It can perform simple translation tasks; I've had success getting it to output graphviz dot format. But writing that pf.conf requires a (simple) mental model, where it's approaching it as

    Emacs is an operating system, not an editor; I'm really not sure why Stallman constantly promoted the "emacs vs. vi" meme. You might as well try to switch from Notepad to Linux. It's just a type error, and you'll ha

    To be more precise, git clone adds the origin cloned from as a remote named "origin", unless you override this with a configuration setting or the -o option. The default is no remotes at all.

    Literally nothing you mentioned is a shell builtin, your choice of shell matters not at all.

    For avoidance of confusion, a submodule is just: - committing a commit hash from a foreign repository in a text file (.gitmodules), along with - some convenience tooling to check out that repository's tree at that commit in a subdirect

    I wondered if someone would mention that this time around; it is a really bad piece of slow javascript that shows completely whacked-out graphs though, because it is trying to show the "fork" feature from github (and doing a poor

    Merging is an operation which takes three inputs: left, right, and common ancestor. This is a very old algorithm, the diff3 utility on Unix is at least from the 70s I think? The reason history is a graph is to walk the graph and find comm

    These days, with more young people developing, it's less CVS assumptions as such and more a Frankenstein of cargo-culted CVS assumptions they got at a remove from the Internet and Github's truly awful and confusing web interfaces.

    This is completely insane under any proposed use case for commit signatures besides "tick some bureaucrat's box that asks 'was the commit signed?'".

    If there's a "the remote", it's not a DVCS, and you can rely on ssh or whatever.
