Yeah back before github existed, we used sourceforge to host opensource, and you had to use CVS. Then later Subversion.

It's kinda amazing how someone can work so hard to sabotage their own public image.

The problem is that if you send a message just blindly, you can be tricked into sending spam to millions of addresses. I do one thing that prevents that, but does violate the standard, I verify there's only 1 '@' in the address.. this technically prevents people with '@'s in their name, but they probably find it impossible to do anything with that address anyway.

If you're going to do a text adventure, don't deprive yourself of using the most English friendly dsl ever, inform 7.

State machines always make me think of the Disk II controller on the Apple II. It uses a state machine to implement reading and writing sectors to disk.

Another benefit from working from home: I will happily spend my own money on a good chair, keyboard, etc. I spent 20 years working in an office and there's no way I would've ever brought in my own chair during that time... I would've had to become the chair police to prevent it from getting "reappropriated"

So it won't work for 0.0001% of all github projects.

Interesting. A year ago I was looking for something exactly like this for distributing data between multiple servers. Everything required a ton of overhead or was too big to use. I ended up just using json. I did discover that Brotli can compress 3 gigs of json down into just 70 megs nearly instantly.

One of our data providers gives us hundred megabyte json files. Whenever there is a problem with the data they request examples, jq is invaluable in those instances.
