Second paragraph

Emacs is not terminal based, though you can run emacs in a terminal if you want to.

Bug: If you put a space as the title, you can't edit the note later because the post is not clickable.

First version of Redis was written in Tcl.

To me, the funniest part of why Principica was bankrolled by Edmund Halley is that is was supposed to be funded by the Royal Academy. Only, their previous publishing project "The history of fishes" had faceplanted and they had no money.

Also, when Principica was funded and Halley was himself short on cash, RA decided that they could not afford to actually pay him money (he was the RA secretary). Instead he would get copies of The History of fishes

The wavelengths used in satelite communication are entirely absorbed by water. I think the sub would have to surface to use the antenna.

In YAML (the gift that keeps on giving, see the False/Norway debacle) the last name of Null would have to be quoted, otherwise it would signify the null value.

Was the first version of Redis not in fact written in TCL?

> Plastics that can metabolize in oceans are highly sought for a sustainable future.

Really? I think that putting more nutrients in the water is almost as bad as having plastics floating around. The Baltic sea for example, have dead zones caused by agricultural runoff.

Surely, the best would be to not put more stuff in the water?

The french gentry very deliberately wanted a American style liberal revolution. But by the time the guillotine was rolled out, the revolution had turned into something they had 0 control over. Not to say it was in the hands of the peasants either of course.

I love that smell. I wish there where WD-40 smelling deodorant.

Niklaus Wirth didn't get one

Which would rule out any cooling channels inside the bell.

I think there is no expectation of objectivity on a personal homepage

If you use VS Code REST Client is awesome https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient

Nice! Here is my own take on the same idea (single file PHP api)

Edit: I added links to Oink and Zaap from my readme.md. We could make a Single file PHP api framework webring!

They got me through some pretty bleak times, try track 4 "Coffin fodder".

Nice. But Cranktown did this 2 years ago, in his garage.

Good choice if you like intestinal worms

Humor is not banned and nor should it be. But maybe, to avoid confusion we could make humourus posts have a * or someting? And maybe humor can live in a separate section of the site so it doesn't mix with the other content. But if it still doesn't work I think we all know of a final solution for humor.

No black bar? I think he deserves it.

Nice swipe at C# (and Java). It's not true anymore for .Net Core though (that you need the bloated editor). All of the tooling is command line now

> It somehow sounds like the author is upset that someone forked his project.

I didn't get that at all. It reads like he is slightly annoyed that he is getting detail requests for a half baked fork though.

It's still there in the powershell 5 witch is still the default in Windows 10

I'm surprised that they don't just use Invoke-Webrequest from PowerShell.

That has to be good enough since Microsoft insists on having "curl" as an alias for Invoke-Webrequest.

I agree, the story is pretty long winded, but they are not wrong: Vikings never referred to themselves as vikings, nor did anyone else at the time. The word is old Norse of course but as far as I know was not used by Snorri. My understanding is that it was almost a derogatory term. They are also correct in that modern usage of the word started with the national romantics of the 19:th century.

So the word itself is a (almost) modern invention or at least re-purposing. Does not matter. We need words for things.

Iv'e inherited a database with both a USER and an ORDER table, both are central to the app and involed in pretty much every query. I feel your pain.

Ella is probably too fast for the Hasselblad

Yep, me to. Since it's just textfiles I can have them checked into git and share them. Credentials stays in a separate environments file (not checked in). I'm pretty happy with this setup.
