The worst was finding that a package I absolutely rely on (I can't remember which one, unfortunately) had been reported as broken something like two weeks earlier, and hadn't yet been fixed. I hope something changes there, even if

NixOS is a great idea, but after using it for a couple months last year I migrated away. Too many of their packages are broken (as in, can't even be installed). Somebody cited a lack of testing resources, resulting in publishing packag

It's a bit like asking why anybody would want 100x the amount of any computing resource they have right now: jumping up more than an order of magnitude typically enables completely new use cases. For every step up those use cases have

I suspect the theory behind Pijul is where VCS development goes from being a practice (build a pragmatic solution to everyday problems and iterate) to having a solid theoretical foundation. It'll be exciting to see how it evolves from

Realistically, there seems to be only two ways you could solve this: built-in VCS support in the software used to edit these files or exporting them to line-based text and dealing with them like we currently do. Building support for million

Our cats made lockdown bearable. Normally we wouldn't have got a pet for years, but a neighbour was moving to a place which didn't allow them and asked if we could take over.

The RDBMS idea of using `insert`/`update`/`delete` to replace DDL is really interesting - it seems like a natural simplification of SQL. Maybe this is a case where the standardization of SQL has actually worked against such innova

I would love to see this sort of thing facilitated. Get someone on board who is familiar with something like GitLab CI/CD and at least a couple popular languages, and let them set up and maintain template repos with all the good stuf

Someone toxic would call their behaviour "honest and transparent" to justify what they're doing, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they are intrinsically linked.

For sure we need both human- and machine-readable stream formats, but I don't really see how QSN has any advantage in that space over `printf '%q\n'` and NUL-terminated strings, respectively.
