I'm having trouble imagining who would want to use this. What's the environment where you would have curl and a need for generating UUIDs, but wouldn't have access to uuidgen or similar?

Is there any concept of a distinction between the size of the line of credit you're willing to extend to a person directly, and the credit you're willing to extend to that person's friends (and friends-of-friends, etc.)? Most

Good for them! When it was first pointed out to me that these terms feel harmful for many, I rolled my eyes a little bit. But after thinking about it for a while, a few things became clear: (1) There's no particular reason to start usi

You've got a pretty simplistic view of freedom there, bud. Regulations often increase freedom for some while decreasing it for others. Constitutions are just regulations for government--does preventing the government from infringing on

Slightly off-topic here, but you might like the tdlr project[1]! It's community-maintained, example-focused documentation for common command-line tools. Currently, there are over 1700 pages, and it's very easy to contribute new pa

That's a really bad proofreading regex, though, because it will be wrong more than a third of the time--which is much, much higher than the expected real spelling error rate. The "i before e except after c" rule only has a hi

Antora's cross-reference feature[1] might be what you're looking for. It also has the very, very useful concept of content catalogs; it's an SSG for documentation sites. [1] https://docs.antora.org/antora&#x2F

Bit of a bad look that I can't search the docs using typesense.

Also, I find his case that notation option A is best to be extremely unconvincing. He just lists 2 properties that he thinks are good: 0. Subtracting the lower bound from the upper yields the length of the sequence. 1. For adjacent sub-sequ

It's not used directly in a lot of places. However, it's still used in a lot of publishing toolchains as an intermediate format, usually compiled from asciidoc via asciidoctor[1]. O'Reilly books, for example, are all written

There's a line in there that I find a bit jarring and difficult to parse. I understand that this was written in 1975 (Not long before I was born, but nonetheless an era that I can't really say I understand), but when the author me

That's not a spec, and it doesn't claim to be one. It's the syntax description that I referred to above. A spec needs to unambiguously <em>spec</em>ify the grammar.

Markdown doesn't have a spec. There's a "syntax description", which leaves a lot of ambiguities, and the original Perl script, which you could consider a reference implementation. But there certainly isn't a spec. (

Interesting; I have basically the exact opposite experience. I had a T460P (running Linux) that I loved as my work computer, and then my company got acquired and I had to choose between a gigantic brick of a Dell or a Macbook, so I decided

Just a quick tip, if you are interested in Yocto, and especially Yocto on the Raspberry Pi: there's a layer called meta-updater[1], originally developed for Automotive Grade Linux, that lets you add over-the-air updates to your Yocto-b

I'd argue that (1) manpages are for humans to read, and (2) there is effectively only one presentation style for the conveying the semantic contents. So as long as the author of the manpage follows the standard conventions for manpage

roff is quite horrible to read and write. There's a much better solution than banging your head against an archaic and unforgiving file format: AsciiDoctor's manpage backend [1]. You write in asciidoc, with some required structure

"Biggest foreign creditor" and "biggest creditor" are worlds apart; it's not just about being more precise. More than two thirds of US debt is held domestically.

That's kind of the heart of what's wrong with it. People generally agree, for example, that it was a good thing when we banned the practice of selling ones' self into indentured servitude. It is almost certainly true that ind

But it's impossible to prove that a smart contract (or any contract, for that matter) is in compliance with the law until it goes in front of a judge and all possible appeals have been exhausted, and that's what matters here.

There's a lot wrong with this argument. First of all, a primary concern when buying insurance is proof of the solvency of the insurer. That means the insurer has to hold the capital covering their outstanding risks. So any insurer that
