I didn't say that but it isn't far from what I said. I said that we have from time to time seen that indications of non public use but there is nothing I can point to.
Now a comprehensive book on systemd would be really nice. Most of the stuff out there is focused on service files, but there's a LOT of other stuff in the systemd ecosystem that doesn't have much easily accessible content available.
I think I agree that there’s not a _ton_ of content out there on 80%+ of the systemd featureset.
However, the first-party docs are really quite good. Considering that some blog posts are written to compensate for a lack of docs, I wonder if there’s a causal relation there.
>>> GNU Taler is a privacy-preserving payment system. Customers can stay anonymous, but merchants can not hide their income through payments with GNU Taler. This helps to avoid tax evasion and money laundering.
It actually is. If you're shopping low carb/keto marketed stuff, they put it in almost everything. Even other sweeteners like stevia, monkfruit, allulose often are cut with majority erythritol. You have to really scour the packaging to make sure you're buying "stevia" and not a "stevia blend" etc. Erythritol sucks too. It gives a weird cooling sensation on your tongue like menthol, I have no idea why they mix it into everything.
Because it has no calories. Xylitol is nicer but gets metabolized. Erythritol is one of the few sweeteners that are reasonable to use at home (like, you can dose it like sugar unlike aspartame), tastes reasonable on its own (you don’t need the blend you have in coke zero for example) and will not spike glucose levels so diabetics can actually use it.
Like, I can bake a cheese cake just like any other cheese cake as long as I replace the flour for the bottom with almond flour and the sugar with erythritol.
We do a lot of keto cooking here. Erythritol is the bottom of the barrel. They have monkfruit/allulose blends that are very comparable to sugar in taste and how they interact with heat - caramelization or melting in granular or powdered. I've read erythritol is more "immediately" sweet on your tongue, but for it's "potential" health detriment, as well as the overpowering "cooling" effect it's really not worth it. I guess if you're doing low cal as well you need to make additional concessions but most of those that don't get processed, really turn your GI upside down as well.
Is "network port analysis" the same thing Facebook was recently getting (justified) heat for? Basically snooping local ports to see what apps are running?
Sounds like their making developers pay "rent" on their apps. You need a apple developer account to publish apps, right? So they'd have to maintain that $99/year or whatever account to continue to resubmit the same app over and over.
Terra lang is pretty cool but Pallene and Terra are significantly different. Terra is a language built for multi-stage programming - basically like lisp quotes where you're jumping between something like a compile time context and a runtime context. It's embedded in Lua, and uses Lua as the compile-time language IIRC. Pallene is strictly compile-time. It is a Lua-like language with type hints that can compile to Lua or to C code that is optimized for use in Lua's C API. So if you had some Lua module that was frequently calling to C for whatever reason, all those calls come with a performance tax. Pallene aims to lessen that particular penalty. They have a white paper where it compares several algorithms with stock PUC-Rio Lua, LuaJIT and pallene against each other and it's pretty interesting where each tends to shine over the others.
It doesn't "index arrays from 1", it doesn't have arrays, but tables, that can operate as "sequences". It's all documented in the docs.
>>> A table with exactly one border is called a sequence. For instance, the table {10, 20, 30, 40, 50} is a sequence, as it has only one border (5). The table {10, 20, 30, nil, 50} has two borders (3 and 5), and therefore it is not a sequence. (The nil at index 4 is called a hole.) The table {nil, 20, 30, nil, nil, 60, nil} has three borders (0, 3, and 6) and three holes (at indices 1, 4, and 5), so it is not a sequence, too. The table {} is a sequence with border 0. Note that non-natural keys do not interfere with whether a table is a sequence
Seems like a call-light/attendant button (like in healthcare & airlines respectively) would be fairly inexpensive and make dining experiences wildly more efficient. Diners always outnumber servers, it would be nice to just press a button and let them know they're needed instead of having to crane your neck around looking for them and trying to get them to notice you so you can ask for your bill (or whatever else you might have needed).
Not to be "that person" but in the game space there is already a "t-engine"[1], AKA ToME (Tales of Maj'Eyal) engine, for building rogue-likes in Lua. It seems to go by "t-engine" primarily, but it's begging for confusion.
