GitHub contributions

[ldries46]

I posted three Ada contributions on GitHub under the name of ldries46.
Three are:
1. A standard way to Initiate a program. The program will be initiated with 
a number of parameters which have been set in the last use of the program. 
The method is not Operating system dependent.
2. Three ways of using memory. The stack, the pipe and the random access 
buffer all of these methods are only limited by the physical amount of 
memory the Operating system can reach
3. A way of creating a new project with a Gtk(Ada) with the use of a program 
that converts a Template project into a project you want to use.

S/He should've provided the link, it's not obvious that it's an L and not an I, I always thought it was an I.

Most of the time "they" does just fine. As ever, you have to think about
what you're writing to make sure it actually says what you intend.

English *already* has a genderless pronoun: "it".
(Sure, there are some negative connotations, but that's the price you pay for PC.)

E.g. "it rains"

An exciting advantage is that "it" is personless, so people carrying 
multiple personalities or none at will feel offended no more ...

There was a Spider Robinson(?) story where an editor disparaged a
proposal of a new pronoun combining "she", "he", and "it".  The pronoun
itself was not precisely specified but the reader could figure it out.
