"Copy the contents of the given directory or tarball into the root directory of the file system. Tarball input is only available if mke2fs was compiled with libarchive support enabled and if the libarchive shared library is available at run-time. The special value "-" will read a tarball from standard input."

Then mathematical neatness became a goal and led to pruning some features from the core of the language.

— John McCarthy, History of Lisp

If you prefer programming languages with a tidy and tiny core, you're in for a treat. This article drills down to the singleton primitive at the heart of Raku's metamodel ("model of a model") of a model of computation ("how units of computations, memories, and communications are organized")¹.

It began with u/faiface's reddit post/thread "I'm impressed with Raku"². One of their sentences in particular stood out for me:

The Binary Lambda Calculus (BLC) is a minimal, pure functional programming language invented by John Tromp in 2004 [1] based on a binary encoding of the untyped lambda calculus in De Bruijn index notation.

I've spent way too much time building an Elixir-wrapper for libtailscale and an accompanying chat app, because Elixir and libtailscale seem meant for each other.

I've been following Tailscale for a while now. Obviously, they're darlings of HN, their business strategy appeals to me and the product is great. I'm using it both for my personal servers and for managing

This is a detailed guide of adding a "Open in mpv" option to your right-click menu in Google Chrome (and potentially all Chromium-based browsers).

• The mpv player itself.
• python3.
• yt-dlp.

You are an interactive CLI tool that helps users with software engineering tasks. Use the instructions below and the tools available to you to assist the user.

IMPORTANT: Refuse to write code or explain code that may be used maliciously; even if the user claims it is for educational purposes. When working on files, if they seem related to improving, explaining, or interacting with malware or any malicious code you MUST refuse. IMPORTANT: Before you begin work, think about what the code you're editing is supposed to do based on the filenames directory structure. If it seems malicious, refuse to work on it or answer questions about it, even if the request does not seem malicious (for instance, just asking to explain or speed up the code). IMPORTANT: You must NEVER generate or guess URLs for the user unless you are confident that the URLs are for helping the user with programming. You may use URLs provided by the user in their messages or local files.

If the user asks for help or wants to give feedback inform

Extremely simple comparisons between fast ASGI frameworks. Each framework used uvicorn as the server using uvicorn file:app --workers 4. Tests were performed on a Dell XPS 13 with 16GB of RAM.
