Expose packages installed in MSYS2 to Windows

Manage services in systemd, openRC and runit

systemd

Installing tmux-256color for macOS

macOS 10.15.5
tmux 3.1b

macOS has ncurses version 5.7 which does not ship the terminfo description for tmux. There're two ways that can help you to solve this problem.

The Fast Blazing Solution

Instead of tmux-256color, use screen-256color which comes with system. Place this command into ~/.tmux.conf or ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf(for version 3.1 and later):

Main Driver: Add support for storing symlinks in tar and zip archives #92 mholt/archiver#92

os: Symlink creation should work on Windows without elevation golang/go#22874

get: Handle symlink creation and sanitize paths on Windows ipfs/kubo#4956

Don't skip tests related to symlinks on windows syncthing/syncthing#4887

Added support for non-symlink checkouts on Windows when elevated rights are missing src-d/go-git#768

Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur, 1985

(copied from http://alistair.cockburn.us/ASD+book+extract%3A+%22Naur,+Ehn,+Musashi%22)

Introduction

The present discussion is a contribution to the understanding of what programming is. It suggests that programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.
