The Linux kernel adopted Bitkeeper before git and it never spread out from there. It's not that many people working on the kernel.

git growth was very symbiotic with GitHub growth. I don't remember why GitHub became popular in the first place. I think it was the Ruby community? GitHub was one of their own during an explosion of Ruby on Rails and successful startups using it.

The way how you manage the caps in OpenRouter is how every metered API provider should do it: keys have limits, and you can change the limits, and you set the limits to refill periodically, and you can create as many keys as you want.

Not anymore than the US being able to strike worldwide to this very moment. They are the only country that has used nuclear bombs against civilians.

The big problem is having one country be able to do it without deterrents and with impunity. MAD is a good thing, if anyone will have those things at all.

Nethack runs as a setgid process that hides save files from users.

Kind of old fashioned now that almost every Unix system is a single user system. There are still public servers for those that want the temptation to be taken away from them.

As to spoilers... Everybody reads the spoilers. I doubt anyone has ever ascended spoiler-free.

First impression: it has a tutorial, which should actually help increase the player base quite a bit.

It comes with some movement quality of life (e.g. moving into a door opens it, moving into an obviously dangerous thing requires confirmation).

If you enable the option, there's color coding of health (green -> full), burden level, and states like poisoning, which I think is new too.

You can filter out messages like "you have displaced your pet".

Don't publish. You already notified them, your shell escape isn't a big deal, publishing it will only be a pain for the volunteers running the service.

I "wrote" (vibe-coded) a non-chronological RSS reader. I crawled the blogrolls of some blogs I liked, fetched all the posts (with full text) and ran a clustering algorithm on them. LLMs classify the content to filter out meta/political/personal posts. And a LLM gives names to the clusters by sampling the contents.

It's an amazing source of long things to read. There is so much stuff worth reading that has been posted in several decades of blogging.

The fleet serving Iran and Russia does not use transponders. It's a large fleet. Ships without transponders are just a fact of life in shipping.

They do support IPv6 but not in every POP, unless something changed.

I have IPv6-only backends and I had to select serving from the main POPs rather than the entire network (which is fine by me as they are also cheaper).

   They're fighting our datacenters. (...) A hyper-conservative regime like this will probably fare (at least in the long run) about as well as you would if you decide to nope out of society
You do know that Iran has technical universities, works on advanced weaponry, and the leader of their National Security council has a computer science degree?

It is important to at least look at things as they are, and not through the prism of orientalism.

Iran's regime is socially conservative. But so is the current US government. There is no sign that they are anti-technology or isolationist.
