Yes. Marine environment: the wind blows largely off the Atlantic, across the whole UK.

It's certainly not anachronistic in England in place names, nor as a name for a type of (water- or glacier-carved) landform.

Fifteen years ago I remember my last employer saying in a division meeting that they had "reallocated a number of roles to the mobility pool". A round of confused "what's that then" from more or less all present for

Works fine on my Fairphone 4, and they are definitely only midrange...

I remain obsessed with / utterly dependent on my Maltron (contoured, two-hand, trackball). I have a Glove80 coming: let's see if it wins me over.

This would be a more convincing argument if your facts weren't over half a decade out of date. DTrace for Linux was relicensed under the UPL (with kernel components under GPLv2, just like the kernel) way back in 2017. (speaking as the

DTrace for Linux CTF hacker here. The BPF people cannot be blamed for not using CTF. Even if it had been relicensed to the GPLv2 way back in 2005, until recently ( https://github.com/oracle/libdtrace-ctf release 1.0 or

I'd do that if I was still working there. I can probably still get hold of a horror case but it'll take negotiation :) (And yes, optimizing merge matters too, indeed it was a huge part of git's raison d'etre -- but, agai

Yeah, that's the problem; it's optimizing for the wrong thing. It speeds up blame at the expense of absolutely every other operation you ever need to carry out; the only thing which avoids reading (or, for checkins, writing) the w

Yeah. I suspect the answer is 'store all binary data in BAM', which then uses some different encoding for the binary stuff -- but that then makes my gittish soul wonder why not just use that encoding for everything . (It works fo

That metaphor... needs work. Cars need a considerable amount of training to learn to use safely, let alone correctly. I can hack C enough that I dream in it routinely, and due to the resulting brain damage found git intuitive from the start

I had... much too extensive experience both with SCCS weaves and with hacking them way back in the day; I even wrote something which sounds very like your smoosh, only I called it 'fuse'. However, I wrote 'fuse' as a sid
