Been doing computer science since the 1970ies. Started with Fortran II, progressed to Algol, pascal, C, C++, Perl, and now Rust - along with many others.
I have sailing some, in my job with the Danish Sea Surveyibg and later for pleasure with The Seastallion of Glendalough.

@npub1xn9…xx39 you obviously need to continue to vote for the right. An Assam tea habit is quite expensive and you need tax breaks to be able to maintain it. Cups are expensive too. 😂

@npub1xn9…xx39 Interesting! Did it happen in both the danish and swedish regions? Or only after the Swedish conquest?

@npub14zv…gvhs it's a great idea on the way out, but how to compress it on the return journey?

@npub1upk…tcwy I think it has influenced some of the earlier choices, probably in a way that runs counter to what seems useful now. In the early days conflicts would have been fewer as it was each dev their repo. Merge conflicts would only appear when adding a patch, and then it would be clear which change came from where. All that new-fangled multi-user stuff messes things up.

@npub1upk…tcwy part of it can be traced back to the time when collaboration was sending patches via email
