> One of the most common regrets on the death bed is "I wish I hadn't worked so hard, I wish I'd spend more time with my family"
You are not the same person as the one on your death bed. You do not have the same priorities. The only thing left for the person on the death bed are memories, so it's natural that this is a common regret.
Well it seems to be intended for repos with large blobs like video games so it kind of makes sense that their own pure source code is still managed with git.
Epic's Unreal Engine development is made in Perforce, and then it was mirrored to git/Github. Or that's how it was a couple years ago. That's kind of expected, VCS is one thing, a forge is another thing.
Drew DeVault tried building something similar to this under the name SearchHut, but the project was abandoned [1]. I tried hacking on it a while ago (since it's built on Postgres and a bit of Go), but I ran out of steam trying to understand the Postgres RUM extension.
I had this tool saved as a bookmark, and didn't find any existing HN discussion, so I decided to post myself.
At first glance this seems to offer similar functionality to PAR2, with the disadvantage that errors cannot be corrected, as parity data is not stored in the digest.
I am always deathly afraid of forgetting a definition/key result in an exam.
Whenever I practice, I always have my notes in front of me and I focus on puzzling through the problem at hand rather than testing my memory.
But in an exam, for me there us always the possibility of failing to recall some fact. To combat this, I record every not-completely-obvious fact into Anki and aggressively practice it in the run-up to the exam.
The benchmarks are sometimes comparing an old build with bypassed denuvo with a newer build with optimizations and no DRM, and claiming that performance increase is only because of no drm and not because of optimizations.
