All this time I've made an awkward and cumbersome work-around for having multiple log-ins for the same smtp server. The missing fact was that I can have the same server specified multiple times in my .authinfo.gpg, and boom! No longer do I need to touch my /etc/hosts! Win for simplification!

There's a pretty big difference between saying, "I have dryer balls" and "I have drier balls".

Spelling: it saves lives.

The results look pretty good for Clojure, though. 😉 There’s always a silver lining. twitter.com/solnic29a/status/1

I ask because I suspect there are some solid answers.

To all the JVM users out there, other than momentum/ecosystem, what is the primary elevator pitch for doing JVM-based webdev in 2022? What does the JVM give us compared to Node, PHP, or Python?

Sibling comment: "it looks like it's from a video game." Like it goes with this:

@veer66 as in, writing directly in zstd instead of plain text? How do you do that?

Very nice! I didn't know about zstd. Trying it out:

Comparison: tar.gz 1.9G 11 min, tar.xz 1.2G 88 min

33 min, 1.3G result, -19 and all cores:
tar -c -I 'zstd -19 -T0' -f cleaned_files.tar.zst cleaned_files/

2 min, 1.7G result, -11 and all cores:
tar -c -I 'zstd -11 -T0' -f cleaned_files11.tar.zst cleaned_files/

Result: -11 compression on the ZSTD was smaller than the gzip compression and also more than 5 times faster. -19 compression was almost as small as the xz compression, and nearly 3x faster.

I have a directory of 529k json files, totalling 9.5G. Compression: tgz (zip): 1.9G. tar.xz: 1.2G. The 700 mb savings took my machine 1 hour 22 min...

I still don't understand how to properly use JS promises in . 🤷

GitHub Copilot costs $10/month... I wonder how much of that goes to the programmers whose code is plagiarized for its corpus 🤔
