    There is a 'hallucinations' section on the page, which suggests that the items above that section are not hallucinated. I highly doubt that. I am, as far a I know the only person i…

    From the story told in the README it is clear this is a project ran by a single person. There is no wider maintenance team that can be trusted with continuing the project. So anyon…

    Pixel 8a is fairly similar in size. Headphone jacks in phones are (sadly) gone forever i'm afraid.

    If I understand correctly, you need to submit the verifiable identifiers (email address and optional salt) to the party where you need to verify. That means you need to trust said …

    Definitely not a bug. There is a piece of code in source that looks like this: function rotateLine(position) { if (position halfabet) { context.rotate((90 \* Math.PI) / 180); } els…

    It indeed ensures one a type level that this series of functions can work as a series so every subsequent function can accept the return type of the previous one. The latest versio…

    compose is a higher order function. In the first step it accepts a function that converts 3 values (V1 to V3) into a single values (T1) and a series of conversion functions that co…

    It looks like the author is talking about command line tools that use env vars for things that should be arguments. In the comments on the page he admits that for example key crede…

    Probably Dutch. We usually get very agitated when someone tells us we should wear bike helmets.

    It seems like this is not a CLI for git, but for the Github specific stuff, such as issues and pull requests.

    I love how they don't tell the full name of Marco B. and Angelo K., but do tell that they companies were called "Bos IT Holding BV" and "Kreikamp IT Holding BV".

    That sounds fun. Do you have your work in progress already published somewhere?
