Things that are not surprising take a while to propagate into the core institutional rules. Internet has enabled information sharing, and people have figured out how to educate themselves relatively recently, in historic terms. It is good n

I would do, but it fails to open my OpenLDAP/nfs mounted home :(

This is probably an example of the non obvious shape of the reliability curve, which has a hump of failures early on, but then trails off. Effort to decrease reliability early on coincides with long term reliability.

Kids? You can be over 30 and never have used a teleprinter :)

Well, I'm glad there are these variations for peoples preferences, I wish multiple font wights was a more common option.

Mine too, especially for the light version for non-retina OSX!

There should be no guilt on either side. Sometimes putting time into investigating the stack trace isn't worth it for the user. However, reporting it still a good idea because the developer might recognize a regression or another angle

How would you read them if they were coming from a Russian news source?

Of course, this might call into question the authenticity of their recently published research into state funded spyware. I'm sure it's just a coincidence the anonymous sources chose to speak after a decade of silence.

Thats pretty funny when taken literal, like this. On the other hand I often do file_str and file_num to help myself.

I'm actually all for collectivization and economy of scale, but I didn't see that point anywhere. I could personally come up with the upside of not having a personal kitchen, powerplant, house, but I didn't get that from read

I was hoping this another article about how a building was switched from AC to lower voltage DC.

I stopped at >I utilize soylent only at home and go out to eat when craving company or flavor. right after we found out kitchens are nasty and wasteful. Of course, out of sight, out of mind?

At least one thing I'm optimistic about is that by observing other semi-intelligent species, we can see that social behavior and cooperation is one of the driving forces of intelligence. There are different moralities, cruel to ours, b

Is there a good website that rates fans by power/noise/price? I don't actually care about the price much, I really want a quieter fan that won't make me turn up the music too loud to hear the details and wake anyone up.

IPs, DNS settings change on running programs all the time, that doesn't seem as unusual as re-opening a file that's actually not there. A unix socket is an interesting mixed case :)

I understand this can't go 'right', but are those things more difficult than filehandles to files that have been deleted?

Why is network more complicated? I would think network doesn't have any atomic/uninterruptible states filesystem might?

This made me think. I can't actually agree that it's a matter of language primitives. It's very much about the logical complexity of sharing anything. It seems to be a fundamental, recurring theme in CS, data and logic. In a

What does it have to do with trolls, or internet, for that matter?

Yes, any expense, for example satellite crashing on white house starting WW3.

What are the potential instances when you want to ignore integer overflow, or the expense of ignoring it is less than handling it? I can't think of anything.

I just finished reading and was going to say the same. It's not a logical error of the algorithm. The algorithm is not concerned with maximum index value, so it's an implementation detail.

I don't remember Winamp not able to play 20MB mp3, such a rip of entire album, since I started using it in 98.

Atom crashed and froze on me numerous times during this day of 1.0 release. ST3 'beta' has never crashed or frozen on me since it's been out.

Some of them actually, honestly, don't believe in climate change, or nursing.

You'r belief on the likelihood probability is not factual, it's based on claims of a side in geopolitical confrontation, the one you choose to believe, because that's where you live. It is certainly true that standard of livi

I know you're just making a joke, but obviously Russia is not free from vendor lock-in any more than any country. Even ignoring the context, Russia is more free than US in anarchical sense, as you can do more things without repercussio
