Does Github use some sort of bandwith limit per user? I'm trying to download a GraalVM release (400 MB) but it would take 2 hours, while from my VPS it only takes a few seconds

AFAIK it has. I once had to do an assignment when applying to a company and they made me use their API-key for that very reason

Is anyone aware of a C++ or C implementation of cognitect/transit?

borkdude 2020-11-18T10:46:29.006Z

thanks

borkdude 2020-11-18T10:46:51.006200Z

There is a Go implementation

AFIK Rust has a good interop with C/C++ https://github.com/naomijub/edn-rs

Being tired of misspelling the word gullible, i noticed google now helps pronounce words. I thought to myself, maybe i'm actually saying the word wrong and thats translating over to how i phonetically sound it out? Yes im aware that things are'nt phonetic, but i can't quite break the habit. It seems i am saying it correctly, but apparently googles phonetic letters look nothing like the american English ones. What language is "guh luh bl" Highlighting the fact that i have no idea what sound "bl" makes other then through historical context "bl" -> "bull"

I always have that word written on the ceiling in case I forget

Did you know in England they call the ceiling "the floor" because it's the floor above you? They call the current floor the ground.

On a more serious note, it's amazing how we personify everything. If I had chosen the word "success" would people need more likely to respond to the question and not the un intended implication? The mere presence of the word raises warning signals.

I don't know how many different phonetic alphabets there are, but probably at least half a dozen, all different. And in a world of looking up things in on-line dictionaries, unless you consistently stick with one, I don't have the energy to learn even one of them 🙂

I'd expect "bl" to be like the beginning of "blue"

2020-11-18T18:05:36.019300Z

in english we'd add a vowel to make that standalone, but there's no extra sound in between

2020-11-18T18:06:24.019500Z

off topic, try editing up parts of words in a sound file editor some time - for most of us, the actual sounds that we make don't map to the conceptual pieces of words the way we think they do

it's the structure of a middle school joke and it's unavoidable

Mno 2020-11-18T18:41:41.020200Z

And I've got the maturity of a middle schooler so it fits 😅
