Agree that it’s good to get the certainty of zero memory leaks (assuming there’s no associated bugs in apache) but it’s not that hard to write code that doesn’t cause memory leaks …

I wonder if the author knows about `watch`. It seems like it might’ve saved some effort with a better outcome.

This is an great example of how you don’t need fancy graphics for good, playable and engaging games. The music combined with the sound effects works really well too and is very sim…

But they wouldn’t announce it until it’s pretty much ready.

Most good software that I can think of has the luxury of being delivered whenever it’s ready. It’s not estimation that improves the quality of the product but good cost/benefit ana…

Could use mv -iv for interactive and verbose if you want a rollback or commit alternative. The real question is: why move files at all?

Yeah? I’m off to read some Jane Austen. Seeya!

Unit tests that don’t read or write to disk and don’t try thousands of repetitions of things should be bleeding fast, but the most useful integration tests that actually help find …

I kinda like the idea that Americans could be gradually migrated from Imperial to metric by osmosis over the course of a few thousand measurement based scientific articles.

Plastic is sometimes useful to preserve fresh food to some degree. Without plastic many goods wouldn’t be viable. Would be nice though if at least the necessary plastic was highly …
