Yet another example could be people making a path across a lawn over time because existing paths are insufficient, and they prefer to take a shortcut.

If you're routinely working on many repositories and cloning new ones, it's more convenient to know that if you clone it into this directory, it will be configured for work. I have used a similar setup for a while now, and it&#x

There's still a lot of legacy HPUX servers out there, mostly running SAP+Oracle combo, but they all slowly get phased out in favour of Linux or Windows boxes. Still, some of them will likely remain chugging along for years to come, bec

Fully agree. I believe that taps into many thousands of years of tribalism - every human that ever lived had an "us" group and one or several "them" groups, and inter-group relations were rarely friendly.

"You need to enable JavaScript to run this app." Yeah, I'd say you might have gone a little bit overboard, for an "app" that just shows a text article.

Fair enough, my wording was incorrect, and you are technically correct (the best kind of correct). :) What I should have said is "All of the people currently running Libera have been successfully running Freenode for all these years.&q

Yes, (ex-)Freenode users are just regular people, but it is a self-selected group of people who value freedom, and are willing to put some extra effort in keeping it. That is, I think, what grandparent post meant by "Freenode users are

Yes, both networks are starting with metaphorical trustworthiness level at zero. Libera, however, has a lot of implicit trust and goodwill because it is run by all the people who have been successfully running Freenode for all these years.

That is not necessarily true for Freenode or Libera. Client connections over TLS are encouraged, and I'm pretty sure that server-to-server links are all over TLS also. Plus, there are some controls for users and channel admins to make

Please take into consideration that this will be the same naive, impressionable "market segment" that repeatedly pre-orders new games, even though there is no real reason to do so, as the games are digital copies, so there is no s

That's just your own private imaginary wall that you built up in your mind. Nobody else had a hand in putting it there. Just tear it down and resist the urge to be always available. It gets much easier over time, I promise.

Core incentive to play a game should always be to have fun while doing so. In my opinion, not being forced to complete an in-game day in one sitting, but rather at your own leisure, matches perfectly the chill and leisurely gameplay of Star

It may have something to do with the fact that Mars' atmosphere is very, very thin (I think they mentioned it's 1% density of Earth's), so there are much fewer particles hitting the ground and pushing the dust, compared to e.

They were refreshing the page, and I saw a new line appear every now and then, and later also (I think) a graph too. So I am assuming that it was a repo where their various tools outputted processed results of the incoming data.

I was watching the NASA live stream, and it was surreal how all they were looking at was a Github repository webpage (presumably on their own GH instance) being refreshed, and text output of some scripts, as the data was rolling in, process

How do you know nobody uses them? I'd be willing to bet that there are many older in-house scripts puttering away in some dark, webbed corners of internal networks, which rely on this functionality, e.g. because they are getting their

You can with systemd (*cue boos from the audience*), although it involves a bit of additional configuration - what files to clean up, and set up a timer. See e.g. https://www.putorius.net/systemd-tmpfiles.html#user-specific.

Thanks, I haven't considered this angle. Although I loathe the fact that it works like this - deliberately lowering information value of a page giving you an advantage. It feels scummy. But hey, if it brings more money, it's justi
