Yup and I am getting sick of hearing this even on Arch Linux. Like, mofo, you could literally run a snapshot or backup before upgrading, don't blame us if you're yoloing your god damn computer. Windows have exactly the same problem too and this is why we have backups. Christ.

On my Arch Linux Install, I literally have a Pacman Hook that would forcibly run backup and verify the said backup before doing a system-wide update.

How it really works:

mpf_t temperature;

If confused...It's arbitrary sized floating precision number provided in LibGMP and you can find more information about mpf_t here.

Yep, and if open source licensing could be revoked on a whim, you can imagine the chaos that ensued. That would be my understanding as well, old version that have MPL license is perfectly fine to fork off, newer version might not be as it is under a different license. One of the reason why I liked Apache License is that it have make it explicitly clear that it's irrevocable whereas MPL it is operating on an assumption that it's not revocable. The most fundamental problem with the legal system in USA is that no law is "set in stone" and leaving things to assumption is open to reinterpretation by the judge who may have sided against you. (Hell, Google vs Oracle on Copyrighted API is still on case-to-case basis, so take it as you will.)

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. I just share what I learned from Legal Eagle youtube and few other sources.

I definitely recommends that you start learning about the LL(k), LALR, and perhaps even Earley Parser algorithms. I am assuming you have picked up a little bit on LL(1) parser and some basic lexer, so mastering the parser algorithms are basically the next stop for you.

Once you get the grasp of those things, you are well on your way to designing a programming language.

I would spend it on language translation basically, paying someone to translate international documentations on things that aren't documented in USA no matter where you look.

I think it's asinine to ask the developer who contribute to your project, literally taking the time of the day writing the code and submit PR to your project, to pay money to you.

I wouldn't even bother contributing to the project at that point.

See for yourself and you can see this details in the FAQ.

This is not the first time it happens with Dotnet Open Source packages, there are some pretty funky things going on namely:

Imagesharp (They re-license from Apache 2 to something like Community/Commercial licenses and threw a huge fit over it)

Fody (It expects the software contributors of Fody to be a patron.)

Yep, biggest reason why I chose C language is Foreign Function Interface. Code you write for C is more than likely to be usable in just about any other languages.

I would most likely be using C11 for threads.h and stdatomic.h for foreseeable future, the problem with using the latest and greatest standard is the risk of compiler not supporting it, so I would likely wait at least 5 years before switching to C23 sometime in 2028 or 2029. There was a bit of a controversy around optional bound checking in C11 that they end up removing/deprecating it, I am sure C23 would have something going on.

I don't plan on using #embed or constexpr in favor of maintaining common C programming practices, language familiarity is still an important factor to thriving project as much as people nag on me to rewrite everything in Rust or C++.

Probably this script:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ]
then
        echo "Please provide git repository url as an argument for this script."
        exit 1
fi
regex='(https?|ftp|file)://[-[:alnum:]\+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-[:alnum:]\+&@#/%=~_|]'
if [[ $1 =~ $regex ]]
then
basename=$(basename $1)
reponame=${basename%.*}
curl -X 'POST' 'https://localgitea.com/api/v1/repos/migrate?access_token={Access Token Here}' \
  --insecure \
  -H "accept: application/json" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{  "clone_addr": "'"$1"'",  "issues": false,  "labels": false,  "lfs": false,  "mirror": true,  "mirror_interval": "96h0m0s",  "private": false, "repo_name": "'"$reponame"'", "pull_requests": true,  "releases": true, "repo_owner": "githubpublic",  "service": "git",  "wiki": true}'
else
        echo "Invalid URL"
        exit 1
fi

You can adjust it as needed and as for why I have --insecure flag, I have a direct network cable between my PC to the server, so encryption or HTTPS is not needed here. This is probably my favorite command, because I would write above as .sra.sh in home directory and then alias the .bashrc to make a sra command by adding alias sra=/home/{your user account}/.sra.sh in .bashrc and from there, anytime I have an interesting repository that I want to archive, I simply run sra {git url} and that's it. It also specify the mirror interval manually for 4 days interval rather than every 8 hours that would've needlessly spam the git server.

This is something I rely on everyday both as developer and system admin, I would maintain a different supply chain and prevent a supply chain attacks by generating my own package feeds/registry automatically from Gitea/Forgejo.

Edited to Add: I noticed this community is Powershell, here the powershell version of above:

param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [string]$gitRepoUrl
)

function Test-Url($url) {
    $regex = "(https?|ftp|file)://[-[:alnum:]\+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-[:alnum:]\+&@#/%=~_|]"
    return $url -match $regex
}


$basename = Split-Path $gitRepoUrl -Leaf
$reponame = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($basename)

$headers = @{
    'accept' = 'application/json'
    'Content-Type' = 'application/json'
}
