Not GP, but here's an example I've seen. Kubernetes files are generated by Jsonnet. It is invoked from makefiles. Makefiles are spread across different git modules. The scripts require various Go binaries. Most are installed throu

I did that too. I thought it was common. I learned programming by reading my older sister's Computer Science manual from high school in preparation for me starting high school (2004, Romania). All school work was on paper so it was a n

Firstly, "it's current year" is never a good argument, but you seem to be confusing things (UTF-8 vs Unicode). UTF-8 can take as much as 6 bytes to encode a Unicode codepoint. If you want to store UUIDs as compactly as possib

This sounds insane, but hear me out. If you take photos on film, it's less overwhelming. Film is expensive, so you can't spray and pray, you have to think about what's worthwhile to take a photo of. This also means you'r
