I hate github like every other guy, but this has nothing to do with the announcement. They're disallowing ssh password auth that's all, non-authenticated operations are fine and ssh pubkey auth is fine. Seems legit to me.

I would guess mmap: view it as a char[]. With flash storage and ubiquitous page-cache the read/write/seek reading-needle abstraction is kind of moot. Triggering a syscall on seek when you could just pass an offset to every read is

Neat. As a remark, this is how LDAP is structured: entries (files) are "tagged" by attributes (directories) and you access them with the same pseudo-paths which are actually conjunctions of filters. I must say honestly i'm no

Are you browsing without an ad-blocker? I can't see any kind of popup, but maybe that's because i'm using quite strict defaults with ublock+umatrix in whitelist mode (eg blocking everything non html/css/image by def

Most F/LOSS projects would qualify: quite a lot of unix distributions are old, active, big; gnu packages too; programming languages. Maybe you meant kind of social platforms and not just software, but imho they are just like wikipedia

Do you mean https://github.com/mapsme/omim ? It seems like it's a mobile app. Or maybe you run it in anbox?

Any recommendation for an OSM viewer/querier on linux? Bonus for lightweight and maybe cli stuff. Every couple years i try some of the software listed on the wiki [#] but i'm never convinced. edit: trying foxtrotgps right now, mig

For any newcomer looking for reference material on this topic, look at https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/filters/ and his other books which are quite thorough.

Well youtube-dl doesn't do that but there is invidious (currently also unmaintained afaik, it's hard being a scraper in 2020). I guess it would be really easy to add an extractor for invidious in youtube-dl.

This text pops over and over as some kind of critic to anarchism. Thing is, lots of anarchistic groups have thought about this kind of "covert domination structure". See "A Review of The “Tyranny of Structurelessness”: An org

afaik pmeunier is currently completely rewriting pijul (since ~1 year) privately so that he can focus on getting the important things right (core algorithms, repo representation) and not on fixing stuff. It's debatable but has been exp

Aren't you contradicting yourself with the industrial uses point? I don't have any strong refs but my understanding is that 19th c. deforestation was driven by growing population, which isn't a problem in europe for much of t

There's no debating that inhaling (any kind of) smoke is pretty bad. For the rest of the article i'm gonna have to call bs. 1. Outside air: We're not talking about cities. Burning stuff in dense habitation zones is stupid. Si

pps: I thought about this international-law example while i was reading Bolo'Bolo (by PM, free access). It's a really funny and thought inspiring short book. Its development on productive and economic relationships is really nice.

Almost all of the bad stuff in cigarette smoke aren't specific to tobacco, for example tar and carbon-monoxide. Nicotine is bad because it creates a strong addiction, but "apart from that" afaik there's not much to it (s

More than that: this is (just) semantic-web applied to the topic of maths. I personally hate semantic-web stuff and don't understand how it can possibly still be a research subject (with university departments dedicated to that). They

Exactly! Maybe you've seen them before but what you just wrote are so-called "copatterns". See: https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~bpientka/papers/unnesting-copatter... https://doi.org/10.101
