Nope. Getting the same error. On the very first usage.

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 the webpage. Makes me wonder if this zine may be w

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 fair game.

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 property is set to -1 or -2, keeping Fj apart.

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 creates a lot of space, like in &q

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 unfortunate. Because now it only shows that LLMs have problems a

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 needlessly distracted. Their AIW riddle is: "Alice ha

"Last Chance to See" by Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine. About Adams and Carwardine travelling the world to document several animals on the brink of extinction (by then 1988). Very entertaining and raising questions about the re

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 representation on a general scale. You wou

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 implementation.

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 get there?

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 some older release branch. The backport has some merge c

I think of Black Adder here, where the credits ordering is different in every episode. In one episode it's ordering by disappearance, in another it's by precedence in the royal lineage, in another it's by Geographical Order,

On the face of it, it's regular ASCII code. But I wonder if they hid something inside?

What do you mean? Whales and dolphins are mammals, too. I searched for the deepest-dive mammal, too, and found Cuvier's Beaked Whale.

That's exactly the parent's complaint: Git's tooling and user interface is (unnecessary) complex.

I contacted Thomas several years ago about an Open Source project that he didn't maintain anymore and which I wanted to maintain. He was very cool about it and put maintainership in my hands. I wish him the best of luck, too.

Sure. But you gotta see the benefit of a "-b" flag creating a branch in every Git command consistently (where it makes sense). That would be easy to remember!
