There is VFS for git from Microsoft, that can solve problem more elegant way, I think: https://github.com/microsoft/scalar


That was discontinued (like multiple times under different names). And is moved into a git fork. https://github.com/microsoft/git


Are they still trying to upstream everything? For a while they were being good about that…


Do you know what replaced it?


git

They upstreamed almost everything. The last version of "scalar" was mostly just a configuration tool for sparse checkout "cones" which needed a bit of hand-holding, and that is easier to configure in git itself now, or so I hear.



There is no one main point, but mostly, I'd like to mention open build service[1], where you can easily create and provide your own repo (but you also can create there one for debian); openSUSE Tumbleweed almost on bleeding edge for packages, but stable, so you can use latest GNOME/KDE/other; YaST very useful tool to change system settings; and the last to mention - zypper package manager is suffer than apt, but I found it more comfortable to use. So, mostly I can recommend you to poke with stick LiveISO) [1]: https://build.opensuse.org/


Is it cover all usage of this word in program naming? Because there it usage seems based on association with a thing naming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender


The issue isn't the subtle details of the law. The issue is there is zero chance you'll show up in search rankings because of the strength of the blender association and there is a similarly almost 100% chance name confusion will hurt awareness of your product, for all the same reasons.

Blender is a great name, it's unfortunately already taken, and you're just hurting your project by pretending that's not the case, as the comments here indicate.


Oneplus 11 ships with same support (5 years android updates + 4 years security updates)


Wait, OnePlus provides 9 years of security updates? That is huge!

Apple’s update policy (and history) is one of the two reasons I own an iPhone (SE). The other reason being all the unremovable junkware I’ve had on Android phones in the past.

Next time I need to upgrade (hopefully 6+ years in the future), I will take another look at OnePlus.


The big issue is that OpenPlus is Chinese company, so they can install some backdoor on your phone anytime if CCP will ask.

It may be safer to have another phone without security updates.


But no new features. However, not sure it's required some


yeah, why stop at 200 KiB (or something) it already is


While scrapping Google follows robots.txt file rules


https://www.youtube.com/robots.txt

Looks like scraping is allowed then, if your robot is named "Mediapartners-Google*" And you can name your robot whatever you like (there's no legally enforced nor defacto registry), so my robot:

"Mediapartners-Google-im-cleary-not-a-member-of/1.0"

Can legally scrape anything on google's youtube. Perfect.


Refactor-driven development assume next steps: 1. Add VCS 2. Cover all working code with tests 3. Start changing code in very small steps


Why have you traceroute ip instead of domain?


> Host mail.jobs.at.poinsignon.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

(A bit of a missed opportunity; the author should really set a AAAA record there IMHO)

There's no actual requirement that your PTR records resolve back to the same IP. Historically very little software bothered to check, and most of the Unix-y diagnostic software has never been updated to do so...


> Historically very little software bothered to check

For some reason, most IRC servers tend to do this.


Unless you send email.


you could have multiple IPs attached to a domain which could mess up this trick.

I also wonder why not use use the domain, much easier.


Bad copy/paste


It cached in web archive too

And if you accurate and patient enough, I think, you can manually copy latest state of repo

What you mean by minus operator? If one that exclude word from search results, you're wrong https://imgur.com/a/mOYUGsG


Yup. Those work as intended with DDG:

    hacker news -site:ycombinator.com
    office -microsoft
    picard -"star trek"
    japanese fish and rice -sushi


heh, not only was: 'office -microsoft' filled with microsoft links but when i tried 'office -microsoft -site:microsoft.com' all I got was a blank page!

I'll give them some credit though, using duckduckgo.com I only got a page full of Microsoft that shouldn't have been there. It looks like it's https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/ that has the blank page problem


Are you talking about duckduckgo? I tried `office -microsoft` just now and got the expected results: tv series, tv series podcast, government sites, bunch of businesses named Office. Nothing about Microsoft Office.



Interesting. I clicked your second link and I still got the results respecting the negative operator I mentioned in my post above.

Edit: To confirm, `office` alone returns a page full of Microsoft results.

If anyone from DuckDuckGo is lurking by any chance, I'd love to hear what makes it different.


I have these same results. Maybe there's an active A/B test where one bucket has a working search engine.


Yeah. For a site that claims to help people escape the filter bubble this seems like evidence that they don't. Maybe it's your location, or your typical searches that are giving you better results, but duckduckgo fails that test for me every time.


I'm sorry but that behaviour is very, very flaky in Duckduckgo and breaks for me regularly.

Filtering retailers out of search results in Duckduckgo can be very difficult because of it.

An trivial example that springs to mind recently was trying to search for information on the manufacturer of Hycosan Extra eye drops.

The results are swamped by ecommerce sites with no actual information on them. Adding terms like "-pharmacist" or "-retailer" actually boosts sites with pharmacist in their URL to the top of the results.

I sometimes have the same issue searching for programming topics where the results are swamped by Microsoft related tech. That would be fine if that's what I was searching for but when it's not it's a real pain in the arse. Using "-microsoft" or some other exclusion just boosts the incorrect results from Microsoft's own site even further.

Sometimes Duckduckgo fix this behaviour but it seems to break randomly for me.
