    The very first sentence is: "Hi, here’s the bot-in-chief, Aga, with a little foreword." Am I to understand that Aga is an AI bot? I see nothing mentioned about this in the FAQs or …

    Sure, if they push one after the other. If they push at the same time however, does Git handle the sync on its own?

    How would I sync access, if more than one people ssh-pushes onto the git repo? I assume syncing be necessary.

    iTerm2 is on 45ms and more in this measuring: https://danluu.com/term-latency/ There, it's distinct in that other terminals have lower latency on the same system.

    Without writing the number down, it's up to Ballmer to decide that aspect, because you cannot look into his brain, or prove that he didn't commit to a prior number. Therefore, it's…

    Thanks for taking the time to answer. I don't understand why in the dj combination, j is able to reach under d for what looks like a kerning of about -4, when the auto_kerning_min …

    Impressive work! In the "mixed-case kerning pairs" quality testing image, I notice that the letter "j" sometimes reaches under the previous letter, like in "Fdj". Sometimes it crea…

    Their AIW+ riddle is just ridiculous. It contains so many ambiguities, that there are several correct answers, even though the authors claim there be only one. Which is really unfo…

    I like the riddle. But the framing is unfortunate. When divising riddles, you want ambiguity where it serves the riddle, but be precise elsewhere so that the solver doesn't get nee…

    1. "graphic representation of writing systems" and "text" mean the same thing to me. Do you mean text as spoken? 2. I think the pronunciation should not be encoded into the text re…

    Yeah, I don't see it either. If being run without --help or --version, true can only ever return EXIT_SUCCESS. However, I find it interesting that true and false use the very same …

    Thanks, this is really handy. The JS version does so not what I expect, and it certainly doesn't do what I want.

    How do you feed sensitive data to ChatGPT? I've got no account, therefore no idea. I thought you just ask it questions, or task it to write some code. How does the sensitive data g…

    What I really want to do with Git, but haven't found a way to do, is to compare diffs. Often I have a merged a feature on some main develop, but need to backport these changes to s…
