Hmm, if the author of the port cares, why won't the author of the port become a maintainer of that port? This should be a two-way street.

This is exactly why a startup plans to sell all that to farmers in a neat package, maybe along with a subscription to cover the towers maintenance costs.

Crucially, at enterprise sales, those who make putchase decisions are not the actual users (except maybe for Outlook and Excel). They sometimes play golf together with vendors though. This is how stuff like MS Teams of Oracle Forms gets sol

If the idea takes off, I don's why a DIY approach can't be viable. Produce your own collars (you'd need many thousands, a factory would be happy), plant your own towers with your own transmitters (likely bog-standard LoRa, or

In 2-3 years we should expect a Starship mission to Moon, at a much more sensible scale, as in the amount of scientific gear and actual researchers delivered to the surface (and then back).

Word boundaries are a complex thing, especially in languages like Chinese or Japanese. Whitespace and punctuation are much less complicated, even if we take the full Unicode case. So the boundary where formatting is considered is between (w

Do they upgrade to the new LTS the day it is released?

Indeed. I'd go with dead simple rules. The below assumes whitespace or punctuation on either side: *bold* _italic_ *_bold italic_* _*also bold italic*_ Any other combination does not parse as formatting, and is considered

It makes quite a few right calls, but still tries to not be a strict subset of Markdown, requiring e.g. a different editing mode.

But for small players nothing apparently changed, they keep paying the $100k as usual.

Insane in absolute terms, but not per user. Take look at the actual fee schedule [1]. The most costly is the license for cable TV, which costs 50¢ per year per subscriber. The least costly is social media, which goes up to whopping 4.5¢ p

Technically he did, but not during his time at LZ. Jimmy Page played the guitar.

What is the point of playing guitar any more? You're not going to be another Elvis. You're not going to be another Robert Plant or Paco de Lucia, even if you play equally good. The world is choke-full of excellent guitar music rec

The author notes that their website is a result of static generation, while EmDash needs a server beside an HTTP server and a bunch of static files. It's partly a fair point. Anything that does not dynamically change with each reload

Looking at the sophistication of modern security exploits, I'd say that just a few minor gaps, strategically positioned, can lead to surprisingly drastic results. Of course, Emacs is a niche editor/IDE/OS/whatnot, so an

Very often you can, or could, because the software is portable (e.g. Node or Python or Postgres), and / or platform-independent (e.g. written in JS, Python, bash, etc). In my practice it was completely normal to build things inside a c

This is brilliant. Upon reading this, I remembered that the original kanban system in the 1960s at Japanese car factories used physical tags attached to physical parts [1]. Low-tech with a right process around it works wonders. [1]: http
