I wish people would stop conflating "simple" and "easy". Git's core internals are simple but using it is not easy. Simple things can have very complex implications. If an API is too simple, you have to build complex

It feels simple and elegant at first. It is too simple though. GPUs, real time audio, Networking protocols, etc. It requires more than a simple file system API to handle those effectively.

Once I made myself a little script to build Deb packages using only basic tools: https://github.com/qznc/simpledeb/blob/master/simpledeb#L61 You need to populate a few files with certain values but apart

Arthur Whitney (creator of many APL dialects) created A, then Morgan Stanley extended it into A+. So maybe simply „a“ was the name.

The numbers do lie I think. I have two Github accounts (work and private). My single Scratch account is also used by my two kids. So Scratch might be even more ahead. On the other hand, your numbers are accounts, I assume. Not active users

I’d say people on the floor know the problem very well. Frequently they don’t know the solution though and they are often the wrong people to find it.

Zettelkasten is for facts you want to be easy to look up. Anki is for things you want to remember instantly without looking them up. I use both.

I’m switching my job next month. That means a lot of new acronyms to learn of software components, departments, and projects. Anki helps me learn them.

One important part of the answer is that there are two „Porsches“, a holding and a car manufacturer. It is also complicated though and there is much speculation who has how much influence.

Anki is my number one tip. For anything you need the basics nailed down to build more knowledge on top and spaced repetition keeps your foundations solid. More ideas: https://www.learningscientists.org/

If we take the 99.99% as a hard fact that means 1 admin for 10,000 users. Sounds reasonable. Especially, if we consider that most of those will never even post anything according to Twitter behavior. With respect to monetisation, I hope the

It is a big deal for people who have to maintain the build systems which contain both languages.

The "decentralized" is not a requirement. For example, nobody really needs a "decentralized marketplace". They just need a "marketplace". Mediation and arbitration are well known methods when trust is missing.

DNS aka NameCoin is still the best use case in my opinion. Even there, the current centralized "everybody trusts ICANN" works well enough. It would require a situation close to WW3 such that China decides to create their own top-l

If rehabilitation were a goal, the US could learn a lot from other countries how to do that. I don’t see that happening though. So I conclude the system has other more important goals. The usual complaint about rehabilitation methods seems

Let’s use Google+ as an example. It did shut down and still not all wounds have healed yet. For example, the indie RPG scene laments its demise. Edit: A Reddit thread as citation https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/commen

Most people have a very cynical view of politics and I can emphasize. However, I try to stay more positive about it. Politics, for me, is about making decisions in groups too large to just talk with everyone. In such circumstances “bridge p

> Good teams don’t need sprints to get good work done. I agree. Most teams are mediocre though. A lot of processes have the goal to limit risks due to bad teams.

Rust essentially puts some parts of MISRA into the type checker (e.g. no pointer arithmetic). Why is MISRA bad? I expect something like MISRA for Rust as well. There will probably be rules like "keyword unsafe forbidden". If you r
