I like Fossil-SCM, so https://chiselapp.com is good for that. But if you want to stick to Git, Forgejo is the best open-source offering (and Codeberg is the most prominent instance). If you want to tread far off of the beaten path, https://hub.darcs.net might meet your needs.

We'll all benefit once the forgefed project is done, and Forgejo/Gitea/Gitlab can all interact with each other.

She played Georgiou across three seasons of Star Trek; what would be her motivation to stop in 2023?

Ever since BitWarden got mired in capitalism, I've been dreading that something like this would happen.

I like life imprisonment for heinous people specifically because it seems like the less merciful option. Look at how many mass shooters and terrorists also take their own lives during the act - suicide is one of their objectives. If we can capture them alive and make them live in a small room, eating unexciting food and sleeping on thin mattresses for decades still to come - that's the ultimate rebuke to their ideologies of death. Execution, on the other hand, is giving them what they seek.

It's amazing. I am a Japanese learner, and being able to find Japanese words quickly - with English definitions and explanations - is very useful.

Wesley transports the Protogies to what appears to be Gary 7’s office as it was seen in “Assignment: Earth”.

I need to watch this episode sometime.

Law enforcement has been collecting fingerprints for over 100 years now, and the history of using fingerprints for other reasons goes even further back.

The error here is that we decided to start using an easily obtainable piece of data as a "lock" on our phones and computers. For many reasons, it's better to use a password or PIN.

I'm always glad to see Canon Connections. Thanks for all your efforts!

The topic was asking for examples; got any?

I decided to try to stop swearing in college, to see if it would improve my attitude - and to see if anyone would notice.

Both turned out to be true. People found me pleasant to work with and hang around. I recommend it, personally!

If you're a crew member on the Enterprise D, you have died. Probably more than once. Between Timescape, Cause and Effect, Yesterday's Enterprise, and All Good Things, the ENT-D has been blown to smithereens with all crew on board multiple times.

Voyager did this too, but far fewer times that I recall.

It's actually much more similar to how they kept using Majel Barrett as the voice of the computer across multiple series.

And it makes sense in-universe for The Doctor to be 800 years old and still working; it's not like they're contriving a way for Harry Kim or Phlox to be there, much as we may want to see them again.

 

Does anyone here use Exercism? I've started using it to learn Elixir, and it seems to be good. I'm thinking about having my kids use it as well for Python and JS/TS.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone's used it for a long time, and if there's any advantages or disadvantages to it. Or if there are other, better code exercise sites I should check out.
