It's basically dead now* but it was an extension of gambit scheme that was designed to be part of a networked system out of the box, including the capacity to spawn a 'process' (think erlang-style) on another node from a thun

They could pretty much do it by having things like the 'for paying subscribers of X' attribute that work as 'also free on B' and 'also for paying subscribers of B' and the bundle could (at least initially) be p

My thought was to let you have e.g. a book review bundler that got only the review posts from mixed sources and say 1/3 of the review posts from ones that are all reviews ... both because that sort of subsetting works better here than

It seems possible that at some point you'll see a hybrid between the NYT and substack models - basically a pre-selected bundle of some subset of a bunch of authors' work where you -also- have an option to subscribe to a particular

Solid list of ways to shoot yourself in the foot with it, even if "use savepoints in moderation" is, for a suitable value of "moderation", sufficient to largely avoid them. (though if you're going to use them, read

I believe when OP said 'treated this as a late validation error', they were acknowledging the inevitability of bugs and root cause-ing "why did a single failure to validate cause the entire system to fall over rather than rej

Given you explicitly marked it as 'vague memory' so people could choose to weight (or if they so wish discount entirely) your comment based on that, I don't really understand the complaint.

Why? If the generated configurations are suitable and the SRE hire is (as they should be) able to trace through how they're generated and audit the results, I don't see why said SRE would want to remove it unless/until it act

Do you know of a decent summary of the current state of AIX? I was aware that new systems were still being sold and deployed but had that filed more under "not dead yet" than "survivor" as such.

I -think- that CIL being a bytecode-y language runtime that actually has things like an object model, going straight from MIR to CIL offers a ... higher fidelity translation, or so. (I apologise for this being vague, but this isn't rea

Without in any way suggesting this is a solution rather than a work around, the last time I needed Discord for something I used bitlbee to present it as an ircd and it worked out nicely.

I think for it to be a test of pure ego depletion, the thing you were unable to resist would have to be unrelated to the thing you forced yourself to do. Whereas 'hunger' or 'I just did something healthy' could both lead

I think if you treat the numbers as a deliberate oversimplification for expository purposes the underlying point still makes sense. Similarly, spoon theory can still be a helpful frame of reference even though "spoons per day" is

Having hacked on that codebase (the heirloom-vi project has replaced my personal ex-vi fork for my own use since) the heavy use of globals and assorted trickery means it's not the easiest thing to read. For a simple but really rather e

I'm not sure that it'd be easy to get that -and- programmability, and past about the 6 month per battery swap mark I'd likely rather have more CPU/RAM/flash than more battery life.
