The announcement already mentions that ProxyJump is meant to be a simplified version of indirection, not a completely new feature.

This is why you don't let cats anywhere near your keyboard ;-)

I agree on the section definitions. It's very hard to remember which underline I need to use because every project (or even document) can just define their own order implicitly. The sphinx project recommends a specific order somewhere in their documentation that I look up every time I need to write rst, but markdowns just-count-the-hashes is much easier.

To be honest, I don't find this to be true. To email a patch, you usually have to

* figure out if you can use git-request-pull or git-send-email * sign up for a mailing list (which, depending on the mailing list software the project uses, can take anywhere between a few seconds and annoyingly large amounts of minutes) * optionally figure out how to not receive the whole traffic of the ML or set up custom email filters * figure out if you have to CC the people responsible for the area of the code you're going to send a patch for (which might be written down in a wiki, some CONTRIBUTING file or somewhere else) * figure out if the project wants an extra cover letter for the patch series or not (and optionally search the man pages for how to write one).

With GitHub, I just use [hub](https://hub.github.com/) or an Emacs package or plugins for other editors to

* fork the repository * (without additional tools, I now have to add my newly created remote) * push to my own remote * create the pull request after reading CONTRIBUTING<tab>

which so far has been the exact same workflow for every project I've seen (ymmv of course).

This might sound a bit stupid, but I was looking into F# a while ago (26 days ago, if the timestamps of the few files I wrote don't lie :-) ) and now I'm wondering I could have found those things (especially RWFP because I usually don't like learning from videos) if I start on fhsarp.org?

http://fsharp.org/about/learning.html does not list them, and going from http://fsharp.org/about/index.html via the "Language Reference" link to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd233181.aspx doesn't list RWFP in the sidebar anymore.

That's because gcc is trying to compile it as C, not C++. You need to call the file "test.cpp" or explicitly use g++ instead of gcc to compile it. (You'll also need to "#include <assert.h>" or it won't compile.)

I think he's referring to the "[edu]" label on the browsing pages (like [0]) which indicates that the uploader has a .edu email address. I'm not too sure about other countries, but at least in Germany, not many academical institutions actually have those, just normal .de ones.

It prints a warning if you're running ipython inside a virtualenv that some features might not work but in that case, you can just install ipython itself inside the venv (I haven't yet found any problems caused by using ipython inside a venv). Using a python2 ipython inside a python3 venv might not be a good idea, but you probably knew that already :)

The compose key is also useful outside of programming environments: I'm german but still prefer english keyboard layouts for easier access to several characters (like {}[]\ and so on) which require the use of Alt Gr on german keyboards. The compose key still allows me to use german umlauts like ä by typing <Compose>"a. I've gotten quite fast in doing that because by having compose on Capslock, I can use two fingers of my left hand to press the Shift and Capslock keys (nearly) simultaneously, one finger of my right hand to press the ' key (which, together with Shift, gives me the ") and then press a afterwards.
