The Linux kernel is not particularly big by comparison. Although I suppose you could argue the cause is the choice of keeping so much in a single repo (I certainly would).

Kinda... they completely lost any kind of user-lookup or CCs or versions or any other data... but yeah sure they moved comments I guess that's everything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What you're saying is that a complex tool requires learning to understand it. Of course it does. Does that make the less complex tool better? No, in fact usually it only makes it b…

Why do you need multiple keys for "a few consulting clients" to begin with? Yubikey's have a limited number of slots for GPG keys by the way... I'm curious to know how you stuffed …

Then why are you so worried about people clicking spam? If they want to read your email, they're not going to mark your email as spam.

The theory is that they might have already generated the list of subscribers when they wrote up the email days earlier, or be working off some mirror of the data, etc. It's a reall…

One word: propaganda

There's also a reason that they and every other provider give/gave free "unlimited" storage. And a reason they're all cracking down.

The zero sum property also makes it really easy to just add up along (any subset of) each column and find most errors. Not so important now when everything's stored in a computeriz…

Yeah, I just treat credit and debit as opaque blobs. They're words, I don't really know what they mean, but I know one means "side A" and one means "side B" ;)
