When buying Merino please inform yourself about mulesing beforehand. Those sheep got bred so they have wrinkly skin, so more surface for wool growth. They suffer and likely die when not taken care of: the wool around the buttocks get encrus

Not saying that you actually believe this, but because of mentioning "small farms" I want to highlight the fallacy of believing that in general smaller farms are better for animal welfare: https://www.fondation-droit-an

It's part of the tokenizer. t contains data in the format of [char 0][char 1][base 64 encoded token id …], whereas the id is as long as the entry is smaller than 'b'. So it's ('++', `#m`), ('--', `%am

Instead of the gawk manual, I recommend the OpenBSD manpage: https://man.openbsd.org/awk.1 It's concise and well written (as most OpenBSD manpages), so you can learn AWK even in less than 2 hours. Of course it handles

CSV to TSV via robust program, use AWK, and convert back if needed. Then you only have to remember the \\t\n\r escapes, not the whole quoting shenanigans.

Perfect! Thank you.

Still hoping for someone to design a font for J with ligatures so it can match APL's beauty for reading without making it more difficult to type, i.e. automatically rendering /: as ⍋, |: as ⍉, |. as ⌽, etc.

Side note: The vel+pos example is a common one in ECS. It also often follow that you should put them in one type in the real world. However, nowadays thanks to SIMD instructions, it is probably faster to have them separate, as you don'

That's quite fun (especially chain-capturing!), can't beat Alpha Beta 3 yet. Any reasons for Rule 6?

I think $IFS is only used by the shell (with read and expansions), not by e.g. sort. It is so at least on my system.

We took the wrong path quite some time ago. Most of the POSIX utils like sort, cut, grep only support \n (or sometimes \0) as row separator.

Not really using it, I sort the frontpage by (votes/comments) to filter 'Comment sections that will devolve into discussions (see: condescending, pedantic arguments)' and their links: http://xash.in/hn/

I use it for playing around with some game ideas, really liked the ease of it. Clean, compact API. Only nuisance is that SUPPORT_BUSY_WAIT_LOOP is defined in the defaults, so I can't use the package from my distribution but have to com

For text? Nah. Most apps automatically store photos on your device, and that's fine. Mobile phones have several GB for storage. That is enough for hundred thousands of messages, before even noticeable. Please reconsider your E2E policy

You must link a client with a mobile device, but after that apparently you can use e.g. the Desktop client without your mobile phone turned on.

Yeah, I'm not sure about it. I'm not a security expert that can look at the protocol for some weeks and come to a conclusion. Believing them after they did things wrong is not very convincing. Given some years and many eyes, and I
