Despite the lack of any clear indicators of sarcasm (/s etc.), I can see your sarcasm very clearly :-) Nice try, trying to hide it. You may not appreciate the value of C, since you consider it to…

From the project overview: [it] contains [40 lines of Nix] code, and comments explaining the code, that shows how the plain Nix language can be used to create your own packages.

Sad news :-( This is why I prefer the projects, at least the small ones, don't try to maintain a domain of their own. Sooner or later the domain will not be renewed, by mistake, loss of interest …

> ... data the avg person sees is 15 minutes delayed ..., that may as well be a light year. Nit pick: you've got your units mixed up; minute is a unit of time, and light-year is a unit of dist…

I use Nix for the advantages it provides, and use other package managers (homebrew, etc.) for things that are not available in nixpkgs.

> Honestly, doing that may be easier and a better option than using Nix packages in MacOS. Respectfully, I disagree. I’ve been using Nix on a couple of my Macs, including on an M1, and I’ve cutdown…

The situation is much worse than I had imagined; the parent project, libfuse, is also in need of a maintainer. https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse …

I did consider that. But then a cursory look at the open issues proved that I don’t have the requisite knowledge, and resources (various platforms that it supports)

Since this is on frontage, a gentle reminder, dear reader, sshfs is looking for maintainers, and currently does not have any. https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs …

Note: the log (aka write-ahead-log) in Postgres, and its ilk, enables the D(urability) of ACID. MVCC in Postgres is implemented by storing the visibility info of each row in the row-header (search: xm…

I guess the mods here need to create an exception for such paths, and simply label them as 'github.com', rather than the usual scheme of showing the user/org name.

Postgres project is always looking for contributors. The project has a very nice, detailed, well-defined documentation on how to contribute [1]. The community is very welcoming, and has a process (Co…

Involvement of Autopilot is not confirmed, yet. > … the authorities are looking into whether the automated features were involved in the crash.

Just a datapoint: Firefox on iOS, I see the xn— variant in address bar.

Aurora Postgres is a fork of Postgres code, with modifications that allow it to leverage AWS' Aurora storage, and a few other things (replicas, etc.). The goal is to remain 100% Postgres compatib…

Take it easy; it's a proof that you're only human :-) This bugfix brings up 2 good points. 1. Using TLA+ is no silver bullet to writing bullet-proof code. Someone translating from a proven T…

I noticed a bug in the example, and thought that was the bug TLA+ would be used to solve. Apparently, that's a real bug, and the rest of the doc does not address it. So I proposed a fix for it [1…
