Which is why you pull through a private mirror that doesn’t respect delete?

All applications should test in two environments. First, the set of packages satisfying stated constraints. Second, against a lockfile consisting of a fixed version for each dep. The first tracks c…

Astounding but I can't help be be underwhelmed at the results. Look at the Shelby Cobra dropped in at 1:01 [0] - it's a vaguely grey car-shaped thing like all of the rest of the models that…

It sounds so cool, but then I don’t get out of the base image before you’re writing your own Python launcher in a heredoc in a shell script in a docker image builder in a nix derivation[0]? Curiosity …

Multistage builds are a better solution for this. Write as many steps as required in the build image and copy only what’s needed into the runtime image in a single COPY command

Where else does one learn to _really_ type quickly besides hurrying messages into a game chat?

Your phrasing is a little unclear. A 16% bonus or 116% bonus?

Mines, famously tolerable workplaces that are a reasonable model for the rest of the economy

An undesirable infotainment system doesn't make a car disposable though. As long as the intra-car systems function for the design life of the components, an uncompetitive infotainment just reduc…

Working on an EV with the batteries connected is like working on the fuel system of an internal combustion engine with a lighter for illumination. You've got the massive pile of potential energy…

It's impossible not to note that emacs does this well too. Setting (setq backup-directory-alist `(("." "/home/user/some/dir/you/chose/backup…

And Brainfuck does exactly the same thing as any other programming language.

> Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. I’m sure the actual users read these things thoroughly, and the second point is called out above, but that ___really___ bu…

If you want to be paid for creating value, exchange value for money. If you want to change society, create value in exchange for conditions on its use and obligations of its users.

Free software isn’t a gift to its recipients, it’s gift to the commons. It’s an open house, not an embossed invite. The other side has some agency in selecting and evaluating the gift they receive, n…

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177 : > And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something lik…

Your source transcribes him as saying > Disinfectant knocks it out in a minute. Is there a way we can do something like that? By injection, inside, or almost as cleaning, because you see it gets in…

Both links place the 'laughed' piece of the claim in the 'true' column of the analysis, with more accurate characterizations and contextualization of 'about it'

Per TFA, it is to an extent? The author briefly discusses a computational search of the design space, and uses that data to encourage the partner company to make a batch of the steel. That said, simu…

It’s not the consensus mechanism that matters, it’s the enforcement of the relation between a record of ownership and an actual physical asset. Ownership of a token or wallet may be inalienably ensur…

It’s not even as complicated as using a different network is it? Each NFT is only non fungible within the context of its specific ERC721 token. So you can just start a new token B and mint NFTs of t…
