No Azure DevOps automatically increments it every time you run the pipeline.
For some reason their API would not return anything for assembly. I was curious to see where it would rank too,
Apparently it due to an issue with Kotlin - https://github.com/code-golf/code-golf/issues/151#issuecomment-1126266250
Most and Least Verbose Programming Languages
I was looking at code.golf the other day and I wondered which languages were the least verbose, so I did a little data gathering.
I looked at 48 different languages that had completed 79 different code challenges on code.golf. I then gathered the results for each language and challenge. If a "golfer" had more than 1 submission to a challenge, I grabbed the most recent one. I then dropped the top 5% and bottom 5% to hopefully mitigate most outliers. Then came up with an average for each language, for each challenge. I then averaged the results across each language and that is what you see here.
For another perspective, I ranked each challenge then got the average ranking across all challenges. Below is the results of that. !
Disclaimer: This is in no way scientific. It's just for fun. If you know of a better way to sort these results please let me know.
The book I wrote. When I first talked with the publisher he asked, "what skills would you look for in someone who wants to do your job?" And that's the premise I stuck with writing it.
I feel down a rabbit hole, a few years ago wonder the same thing about C#. Here is what I found.
- C# was developed in 2000 as a successor to C++. Doubling the ++ to a #.
- C++ was developed in the early 80s as a successor to C. Adding plus (+) to a name was a common way of indicating it was an enhancement. Also ++ is the incrementing operator for C.
- C was developed in the early 70s as a successor to the B programming language. C comes after B.
- B was developed in 1969 and was derived from the BCPL language. Basically, B was a stripped down version of BCPL.
- BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language) was developed in 1967 and was a designed as an simpler version of CPL.
- CPL (Combined Programming Language) was developed in the early 60s at Cambridge. The original name was "Cambridge Programming Language" but was changed to Combined when it was published jointly with the University of London.
Interesting. As someone who mainly deals in PowerShell, this is very similar to the Where-Object clause and could save me some headaches when I need to work in Python.
From personal experience, it seems like things outside of your normal listening don't affect too much. At least in my case, my daughter making me play the Encanto soundtrack 250,000 times hasn't affected my weekly or daily playlists.
That's pretty similar with what happened with me and the train. Kept getting random drops from a plant. I went out to investigate and everything tested perfect and the network was staying up. That was until a freight train rolled by. Turns out AT&T had run the line by shoving a piece of PVC through the gravel between two cross-ties, then running the cable through it.
I've actually had an excavator take out my network. I've also had networks taken out by forklift, train, and a semi-truck towing three other semi-trucks.
Moderate your Lemmy Community with PowerShell
A PowerShell module for interacting with Lemmy. Contribute to mdowst/Lemmy-PowerShell development by creating an account on GitHub.
I have seen a lot of calls around Lemmy for more moderation tools. I have been working on Lemmy PowerShell module for a few weeks now, and I went ahead and released a preview version with multiple moderation tools now available. The module has the ability to perform the following tasks using a simple command line tool:
- Search posts and comments
- Remove a post
- Remove a comment
- Lock and unlock posts
- Add and remove moderators
- Create new posts and comments
You can get started now by installing the module through the PowerShell gallery.

If you are not familiar with PowerShell, I've include detailed instruction in the GitHub repo with lots of example. https://github.com/mdowst/Lemmy-PowerShell
If you run into any issues please let me know either here or by submitting an Issue to the repo.
Basically every Windows sysadmin is indebted to Mark Russinovich and SysInternals. Fortunetly, PowerToys has come a long way because I'm pretty sure sysinternals haven't been updated since Windows XP.
I've been using WordPress on Bluehost for a few years. I'm looking to move to something like Jekyll. Pretty much everything I get from WordPress can be done with a like JavaScript and Jekyll. There are plenty of examples out there of building it off of GitHub actions.
I also do NOT recommend Bluehost. I was having issues with my site going down for no reason a while back. I contacted their support to see what was going on and they told me it wasn't on their end. And guess what, it was on their end. Ended up catching the guy in a lie. Just been trying to find the time to move everything off of them.
