That was given in the original question along with Pythonistas.

Clever work, well done to the researchers.

So, they're just going to add a QR code? Of course, you could already do that, but having it built in and be the default process would probably help.

This is a great read. Those of you who only read the title or skim the first few paragraphs - I recommend you actually read through it all because there's loads of great parts in there like how she turned down an Elvis Presley cover.

Afraid I don't know, but please post the answer here if you do (particularly if you get the answer from somewhere un-indexable like Matrix).

I hadn't noticed how old this was, I wonder if they still have the same policy.

haha, ok thanks. So https://github.com/dtrx-py/dtrx

I'd initially assumed that it was a mnemonic but yes, listing and appending and extracting together is nonsensical, as tar notes: tar: You may not specify more than one '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' option

Meme reference

I didn't know about -d.

explainshell.com to the rescue!

I can remember regex, but I need to check tar almost every time.

I hope the Orville manages to get a fourth season, that often felt like the most Trek of all of what was airing.

For me, the level of fan service and nostalgia was almost uncomfortable - we've got Lower Decks for that kind of stuff!

He's also got a credit as appearing as himself in archive footage, which seems a little unlikely, in The UnXplained with William Shatner of all things.

I see your point, but you likely also need to be compiling multiple versions for different architectures and OSes. If you offer an exe someone will turn up asking for a msi, etc, etc.

In theory, you can get this automated, but then you're requiring a dev to learn and maintain these tools instead of working on their project.

I do edit and spell check my posts because I believe that when posting something (text, software, etc) it's proper to make it easy to consume, without forcing dozens/hundreds/thousands of people to fix your errors. I would expect these things, but I don't demand these things, and I think it's inexcusably entitled for anyone to do so.

What I'm hearing is you'd rather that the developer used their time to produce binaries so you don't need to spend your own time.

The problem with open source is that people expect a lot time and effort to go into things like bug fixes, documentation and support, when often the devs start out making something to scratch a personal itch. They then share it for the benefit of others, and it can be a slippery slope where you can end up with a second job, except you don't get paid or even thanked.

Open source burnout is a big problem.

I think of a lurker as someone who doesn't post - I guess your definition is someone who doesn't interact at all (besides making an account and subscribing, I assume). But yes, I mean users who only vote are now counted (it's not using views afaik).

I assume this latest bump is due to lemmy.world updating and now counting lurkers when assessing active users.

Longer means you're more likely to be able to ride out a power cut, and gives you more options if you want/need to complete something more involved than saving and shutting down.

It's a somewhat similar story there, although the devs aren't as difficult. Mbin is a fork and seems to be the codebase with the brightest future.
