Make is a very good choice for storing common maintenance commands for a project. We use it at work for this. It started when we migrated to Docker more than a decade ago - before docker-compose was a thing, building and running a set of co

Some people will answer without being asked. The most we will get out of that is that the word "saboteur" will get a more modern synonym (not sure what it will be, but the inventor of cheap EMP granades will have the biggest say i

I'm sorry. I assumed too much about you, and I'm a bit ashamed for sounding so patronizing in my previous post. You seem wiser than me, and you're definitely wiser than I was back when it happened: I tried to defend myself. T

Isn't it the other way around - people, especially when young, like to imagine themselves as someone special, so the media give them the perspective of the most special individuals they can find? Being a king, on its own, may not quali

What GP (probably) meant is that in Lisp you're supposed to write macros, and when you do, this "is simply not worse" than the dotted message sends: (-> params (op1 mod2) (op2 mod2)) params .op1(mod2) .op2(mo
