General Software Discussion / Re: Microsoft to buy GitHub in $7.5B all-stock deal

Because if something is checked into a repo that is obviously wrong, it can be construed as a compromise of the account, resulting in the locking of the account.

So Microsoft (I will not say anything about Windows Me here... or should I?) has decided that you must not check in obviously wrong code into your own repositories?

From what I read, he posted malicious code to his repo. Is that correct?
-wraith808 (January 10, 2022, 07:48 AM)

He committed code that did not work as expected into his own repositories containing his own free code.

Why exactly is Microsoft entitled to deny that?

I don’t think that the number of external projects which use your code should be relevant metrics for you to decide about the future of your code.

NANY 2022 Entry Information

Application Name dateadder
Short Description Fulfills the single need of having a platform-independent tool that lets the user add days, weeks or even months to today's (or any other) date and see the resulting date.
Supported OSes In theory, any that run Go (as of today, these are: DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Plan 9, Solaris, and Windows).
Download Link Attached.
Version History
  • 2021.12: First public announcement on DonationCoder.
Author me.


Description
I wanted to find out which day is "today in two weeks" without having to click through a monthly calendar. Now I can.

Non-features
  • Does not support units smaller than a day.
  • Also does not support substracting days, weeks or even months.

Planned Features
None.

Usage

Installation

Grab the .exe file from the attachment and put it wherever you want. Send me a personal message for non-Windows builds and/or if you need the source code.

Using the Application
You'll need a terminal window. (On Windows, the Windows Terminal is pretty nice.) Then just run any calculation of your choice:

[Select]
% ./dateadder "today in a week"
% ./dateadder "2021/12/31 plus four days"

Et cetera, et cetera.

Uninstallation
Delete the .exe file.

I gotta hand it to systemd on that point though, my Linux of choice has never started up faster or more reliably.

I find runit to be rather good at this.

Wasn't that supposed to be Windows 10?  Like, it was supposed to be a "rolling update" operating system? 
-Edvard (July 11, 2021, 09:56 PM)

Well, it rolled to 11 now.

systemd aimed to improve the startup speed - but they said it was especially good "for servers". Now how often do you usually restart your servers?
Also, yup - if systemd would have remained a SysV init replacement, it would probably be ok-ish. Instead, they added stuff that renames your network devices on each boot.

If you want reliability, you don't want Linux with systemd.

At the same time, Linux has become notably shittier when the majority of distributions introduced systemd, a svchost.exe clone with a bizarre understanding of how Linux was supposed to work.

They even killed text log files.

You can also install Rust and then "cargo install yaydl".
