Multiple binaries can still be part of a monolithic system (just like multiple services can still be part of a monolithic system in the web services world). A well-archetected system has strong separation of concerns — and well-defined, re

Oh, this is awesome: it works for both of my phone’s cameras! It’s a OnePlus 6 — I wonder how many other phones have this ability in both cameras.

I’ve come to the conclusion that an organisation should ideally have no more than one primary repo, with maybe a handful of ancillary repos for stuff that really doesn’t make sense in the primary. What does ‘organisation’ mean there? W

Emacs. Vi is awesome — it really is — and vim is neat too, but I prefer an entire operating environment. And Lisp. And man-centuries (man-millennia?) of usability improvements.

If you’ve not gotten a chance to use Magit yet, I highly recommend it. Along with Org Mode, it’s one of the modern killer apps for Emacs. I barely even bother to use git at the command line these days, and I’m pretty sure that with some
