I'll add some new command line features for #curl this afternoon on the live-stream. Starting in 20 minutes at twitch.tv/curlhacker The idea is to add -w "variables" that can output parts of the used URL.

Welcome Ronan Pigott as #curl committer 1126: github.com/curl/curl/pull/1084…

docs/cmdline-opts: document the dotless config path by rpigott · Pull Request #10849 · curl/curl

The real xdg config path is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/curlrc, without the dot. The dotless name seems preferable, so let's match the documentation to the behavior. curl 8.0.1 doesn't seem to care about $XD...

@ebassi Thanks! I'll update the ArchLinux Wiki to be more clear that this shouldn't be used with GNOME Shell.

I stumbled on this since a script I use had it's behavior changed recently where before my password was prompted on the CLI it's now opening a window... that looks more like CDE than GNOME and I wondered whether I simply had a package missing :-)

*phew*

With the massive amount of architectures etc, I almost wonder if running the tests in some form of “virtual C interpreter” that doesn’t represent an actual computer could be a thing. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some static analysis startup at some point in time that had that idea.

Either way, full agree on the practicality of it all. My own personal way of viewing it tends to be “start out with the theoretically best and most correct, then move towards practical”:)

Other fallacies on coverage:

Even if you combine all coverage reports and get ~100% test coverage, it could still be broken on Windows/macOS. One "has" to combine in order to reach code that is specific to certain builds/platforms. But, that implies covering it once is enough which misses the point of having different builds.

Incentive to create tests that have net-negative value, yet increase coverage. Tests that observe internals, mock too much, yet make no meaningful assertion.

Torture,
ill-treatment,
sexual violence,
and summary executions are known to have been committed by Russian forces.

On the international day for the right to the truth, our thoughts are with the victims of human rights violations and their families.

We are doing everything in our power to bring the perpetrators to justice.

One year ago, Eurojust coordinated the creation of a joint investigation team on crimes committed in Ukraine to enquire on Russia’s actions.

Justice will prevail.

The Fetch API provides an interface for fetching resources (including across the network). It will seem familiar to anyone who has used XMLHttpRequest, but the new API provides a more powerful and flexible feature set.

CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible

Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL.

"By being on GitHub, we reduce friction from the contribution process and we maximize the ability for others to join in and help. We lower the bar. This is good for us."

There have been many criticism towards GitHub on the Fediverse (#GiveUpGitHub). Some even say it's the "Twitter of hosting code". While I understand the rationale, I disagree. Been using GitHub for over a decade now and have hundreds of repositories there. Without GitHub it would be amazingly difficult to manage. I use for-profit products by Microsoft, can you imagine some of them have their place in the world?

I can quit Twitter, Facebook, etc. and self-host almost anything, but not my and the firm's code. Why?

You disagree with what exactly? That there are no viable alternatives to a walled garden whose owners abuse those who use it? Who have no respect for their work and intellectual property rights?

Because there are plenty of alternatives that people use every day.

@jf To paraphrase Dan's other video essay on cryptocurrency and NFTs: "Metaverse evangelists look at this system where people are under the boot of banks and investment firms deemed too big to fail and decide that the problem is that there isn’t enough opportunity to be the boot"

@matt You just saved me $80 in transportation (This is my machine, being used near headless so that my radio cohost can host with me from his house). He's completely useless with anything like this, but I could walk him through pulling up RIM and entering a keyword. The whole story is very Hurp a Durp though, which is why I'm telling it on a talk-comedy show.

@matt So while the story is very much one of those stupid techie fails sort of things, while we are very much tongue in cheek in nature, we could do a small thing togehter if you're still interested, and it'd be a kind of pithy piece of audio you can pass around. Our audience does enjoy tech talk, even with the format being talk/comedy. Your call entirely man, and it'd be great to do this (I used to listen to Look at Linux).

I drove all day from Death Valley to Monument Valley chasing storms in fall of 2021. Got completely skunked, lightning-wise, but at the very last minute the sun broke through the clouds for about 5 minutes before setting and threw the towers into this stunning alpenglow, with a little rainbow on the far left.

#StormChasing #MonumentValley #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A dramatic scene looking out over a broad desert plain with three massive, bright orange stone towers. The sky is dark and stormy and the foreground is in shadow. There is a small glimpse of rainbow to the left of one of the towers. The towers themselves are bathed in deep red-orange sunset glow.
