not op, but github serves two purposes: git mirror, and reputation/network effects. By relying on github for the latter while redirecting to another mirror for the former allows you to utilise github's reputational system to promo

Very nice. Whenever I see comments about people trying to reinvent make, my conclusion is that make "as a tool" is inevitably far superior, but people are mostly familiar with a small subset of its functionality, which makes it ap

Well, I don't know; an educated guess is that it's not just blood vessels that could be compromised by excessive swelling, however localised. Having said that, the RICE acronym is often extended to PRICE, to indicate that the typi

It's been years since I've practiced, so take my understanding with a grain of salt, but, the idea is that the swelling will be excessive, and because the space to accommodate it is limited, this can end up constricting the blood

This is a weird article / statement. RICE, afaik (former doctor here), was never about prolonged use for healing. The intent is to mitigate the harms of the initial excessive inflammation/swelling response (which threatens to co

I'm always tempted to go passive-aggressive and misinterpret the acronym. I don't, but I'm tempted to. E.g. "Couldn't we simply write an email to the Computer, Data, and Information Services department for the acces

"[...] that can to the job better " is the key phrase here though. It's probably a bit misguided in the sense that, if the end-result further down the line is the "more machines than humans driving in the streets&quot

well, just from reading the title, i assumed it would be trying to make a point, so I took the test without even reading the questions and got 5/5. PS: 'sizeof with parentheses' looks so weird to me.

The fact that sourcehut is under such a vicious attack makes me even more certain I did the right thing switching to it from github for my repositories. If "entities" are trying to shut them down or hurt their business using such

Matlab/Octave are also copy-on-write. It's quite a powerful mechanism to take advantage of when you're aware of it.

This is nice. Reminds me of the old Iodide notebooks; I'm so sad those lost to jupyter, in my mind they were so much nicer...

no, you should only quote things that you want quoted. ("duh") the caveat being if you actually do want things expanded then you should not quote them. for i in $(seq ...) comes to mind...

It's not even as straightforward as that. Most serious studies on the topic have demonstrated that piracy not only does not lead to lost sales, but in fact it leads to increased sales instead.

interesting. The gist seems to rely on the word literally meaning rope, in a manner unrelated to actual camels. but the phrasing I'd been given to understand was that coarse camel hair was a common fibre in use for making rope; indeed

surely if they filed the same claim twice and it was labelled as bogus the first time this is enough to demonstrate the "knowingly" part, right?
