A great read, thanks for sharing.

A great read, thanks for sharing.
I really hope this is successful, it’s really got the spirit of what made the early internet great.
I think a lot of sci-fi is a warning, e.g. almost every distopian setting - I don’t think that’s hopeful, unless you argue that we’re sensible enough to heed said warnings.
So they’re switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git… How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?
Re your off-topic aside, it looks more like that user has been tagged as verbose (whether that mean long comments or a high volume of posts isn’t clear).
But occasionally you find $100000.
I’m sitting here trying to replicate what that sounds like from your description and I’ve only succeeding in sounding like a madman.
You pronounce the t in hot and then pronounce the p of potato?
I’d assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I’m not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don’t see how you’d know if each server chose that option so I guess it’s more like “servers with green hosting companies”.
Don’t downvote stuff just because you’re not interested in it! There’s no algorithm you’re training, you’re just being rude to people.
Downvotes should be for worthless content and people being dicks.
Plenty to read, thanks.
I see that first paper is for tropical environments, is this also found in other parts of the world?
There’s some evidence that the bacteria in the air are different at day vs. at night
This is really interesting, do you have more info on this to share?
It’s interesting that the author and most others went with 403, when 426 seems to be the most appropriate.
Neither are perfect matches, since 403 is about authentication and 426 is for Upgrade semantics (i.e. the upgrade is over the same transport protocol, not switching from http to https). npm isn’t sending an Upgrade header, which is required, but I think if it sent Upgrade: TLS/1.0, HTTP/1.1
then that would be claiming they supported TLS on port 80 (STARTTLS style) - possible but unconventional.
I haven’t used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don’t just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.
A fun article, and I really like the idea of pataphysics. I’ve klnown of SCP for a long time but I’ve never delved into it - it seems more bottomless than TVTropes, and I’ve spent/wasted enough time there already!
I was referring to this trivia:
Picard’s scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a “Ten-Forward” scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.
I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank
I watched that one last night and had the same thought - she’s been the face of nonacceptance towards Data and although Bruce Maddox is far more extreme in his views it seemed like a waste of her character building.
That said, they’d already shoehorned in a Guinan scene so I don’t know where they’d find the time.
Ah, the major system. I have a slightly different version: 1 is L, 5 is f/v (FiVe) and 8 is ch/J. Sun, sci-fi, lichee maybe.
I wasn’t saying that unit tests replaces readability, I was saying that back in the 60s they’d reason and debug using their brains (and maybe pen and paper), with more use of things like formal proofs for correctness. Now that we write more complicated programs in more powerful environments, it’s rare to do this (we’d use breakpoints, unit tests, fuzzing, etc).
I can’t see the numbers in future getting any better, unless big changes are made. Many pilgrims are quite old, since some need many years to save up enough for the journey, and of course the temperature’s only going to be going up (even after La Niña).
It’s part of the rituals to get the timing exactly right, so it’s not like it can be moved to cooler months, like has been proposed for the Summer Olympics. It is moving earlier by a week and a half each year (because of the Islamic calendar) but when you’re talking 51.8C that’s not really moving the needle.
I’d heard talk of health-monitoring bracelets, which seems sensible.
