I agree it’s not the prettiest, but I had no trouble clicking on “tree” to get to the folder and then “mod.ts” to see the code.

This goes pretty deep in English. I'd argue that the semantic intention behind the colloquial usage of "vulgar" is nearly inseparable from the "class distinction" baggage it carries. Consider these common synonyms and their etymologies:

- Rude: "coarse, rough, unfinished, unlearned" (https://www.etymonline.com/word/rude#etymonline_v_16610)

- Mean: "shared by all, common, general" (https://www.etymonline.com/word/mean#etymonline_v_12495)

And even synonyms like obscene, indecent, or disgusting, which don't evoke this distinction directly, still almost always ultimately rely on separating things based on what is "good" and "clean" according to class distinctions.

Note that, in the abstract, “vulgar” means “common” (as in “vulgar latin”). Indeed, its negative connotations come from that same sense: “common” people are unrefined.

Am I missing something about the O(logN) section? Why is there a graph of O(n^3 logN) under the text Here is how logarithmic complexity look like?

I know this isn’t truly the point of the article, but I’d encourage anyone/everyone to give https://fork.dev a try. Unlimited free trial but well worth it to support the great devs. It solves basically all of the ergonomic gripes I have with the `git` CLI.

At the risk of correcting the primary source, I was able to load https://www.ebiester.com/ but not https://ebiester.com/

EDIT: I see you’ve already updated your comment. Thanks!

Xcode used to have native support for this, long ago. And it had mdns support too!

This is cool. Although when I looked through the code I thought, “surely there must be a general-purpose Hayes command library for Python”, so I searched around, and didn’t find anything. Kinda wild.

The first amendment is mostly about what the US government can/can’t do, and even then it’s not 100% protection.

Just want to add that I make extensive use of “tapbacks” with pretty much everyone I use iM with.

I’m not an expert, but iirc banana-pi and beagleboard are SBCs with more of an open source bent.

Thanks for this link! This is a great explanation which clears a lot of things up to me.

I’m curious about how this works, can you link me someplace where I can read more about it? I tried searching for “cellular over wifi” but wasn’t about to find anything promising.

EDIT: I searched harder and found “VoWiFi”. It looks like this can support SMS and is supported by iOS. TIL.
