    I initially read "the order of files in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/" to mean the order of files in the underlying directory inode, i.e. as returned by `ls -f` — and thought, "oh god"..…

    I mean, no. If you work on a codebase that's been going for more than a few years, the author likely doesn't even work there anymore. The commit is the important thing.

    C23 has constexpr, albeit only for objects, not functions. The code also uses namespaces, as in `std::aligned_alloc(P, T)`.

    The distinction I suppose is that what you really mean is "the difference in [necessary] skill level between a burger flipper and an accountant".

    I suppose such feedback could be used for reaching a fixpoint. Suppose you have a build system that reads targets to be built from stdin and outputs to stdout targets that are depe…

    I mean, learning Haskell has made me a better programmer even if I've never used it at work. Perl I have used. I wouldn't say the same about that...

    It does make sense — the Unix debugger has always been *db, with no bridges in sight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Debugger

    You're not the only ones, but I can't understand this approach. Do people never then read the version history? It must be impossible to understand commits' diffs with the changes a…

    It's not by the same person — sta.li was by Anselm R Garbe. It's more like a spiritual successor.

    Thanks for sharing! ; these produce an error, since `b` isn't defined when the body of `a` is compiled let a = \x -> (b x * 3), b = \x -> (a x / 2) It surprised me when this was ca…

    I think this is the one thing I feel BitKeeper does better than Git. Git can get confused about where a file came from, for moves but especially for copies, and so the version hist…

    When I was looking for work back in 2016 there was a company who advertised their way of working as "infrared", if I remember correctly. It was all about total openness and autonom…
