I recently had the need to subscribe to changes to a Github repo and it turns out it provides a feed for them. For rust master branch, for example, subscribe to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commits/master.atom.

"about" didn't work for me but "help" did.

Isn't it possible to write memory-safe code in modern C++?

Who says they don't?

Edit: never mind, just noticed it.

Is this "US timezones" or "US only"?

Installing LineageOS does not imply losing access to Google services and the Play Store.

Not in GOG, for some reason.

QtWebKit is not recommended but it is still available if you want it: https://qutebrowser.org/doc/help/settings.html#backend. There is a ticket to remove it completely which is now targeted for V4 (https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4039) but, in reality, you could still use it.

It should be possible to build a mastodon server that provides a gemini interface.

I would say they are useful, specially against a relational database, when you have a ever-growing or dynamic amount of different entity types that are all related between each other. With a knowledge graph you only don't need to create new tables every time you define new entity types, you also can give semantic meaning to the relationships between them.

Offtopic: I'm seeing a trend of titles that, as a non native English speaker, always confuse me and take me a good couple of seconds to finally understand. This is one of them. It's like they use a comma where I would expect an "and" to be. I wish I had more examples to show, but I have seen a lot here in HN. Is this some new editorial style or was this always used?

Good stuff. I wonder if there's a way to "detect" ASCII art automatically by crawling open source repositories.

It's not clear from the website's home page what is the difference with the original version hosted at sourceforge. This page explains it: https://robocode-dev.github.io/tank-royale/articles/tank-roy...

Good tip. My device doesn't have any official build newer than 17.1 so I may need to start building my own images.
