I know it will never happen but if I could have a native full featured bash or zsh environment on Windows I would switch back in a heartbeat. And no, Cygwin is not a replacement.

Evolutionarily, domestication seems to be a jackpot.

It's hyperbole but it has some truth to it. Why would you go through the hassle and possibly loss of money to convert fiat to bitcoins then purchase things with bitcoins instead of just buying with fiat? You wouldn't, except that

Really? I skipped the rules as well and understood the mechanics after about 10 seconds of playing.

How is that a fair comparison? RedHat is POSIX compliant so why don't you just lump in every POSIX compliant device ever made? /s

Yes, which is one of the a whole host of other reasons to stay away from this. Urbit openly states that it has backdoors in place to allow policing by any government.

The terminology alone is enough to scare me away. Arvo, Hoon, Nock, Ships, etc.

Seriously, it needs to be 10x this to makeup for all the money they saved, and 100x this to make sure they never do it again.

I really can't think of a situation where it wouldn't work. Maybe if the codebase is extremely modular and each developer works mostly alone? Even then they should probably still have things like code reviews.

I've been seeing this off and on for about a year now and I still have no idea if this is legit or some long-con troll type thing. Anyone care to shed some light on it?

RedHat runs on no where near as many devices as Windows does.

Sometimes being a martyr can further your cause more than you could do alive.

>You become big and profitable by cutting as many corners as you can and keeping revenue up. Then why would they be spending millions of dollars on the office perks and architecture? You're contradicting yourself, they're obvio

Technically they do because the paper and metal cost money. Other than that, they are actually backed by something.

Totally agree. It's the first time in many years where I was genuinely surprised at the capabilities of a computer.

Perhaps "intangible" was the wrong word. But domain names, unlike bitcoins, are actually useful for something. Bitcoins are just placeholders for value or wealth, like any other currency. The only reason they are useful is because

How can you put a value on an intangible good that is backed by nothing?

I wish phones still came with hardware keyboards. I would be ecstatic to have an iPhone with a hardware keyboard.

Got a source for that? Almost nothing gets printed in my office.

OS X is mostly open source, the big thing that isn't is XQuartz IIRC.

I'm sure you could but what if the human player plays an unseen yet still good strategy? There are an infinite number of strategies and a constantly changing metagame. I think a better AI would be something that could generate good str

Their micromanagement skills are unmatched but high-level strategy is very poor compared to professional players. Good micro with bad macro is far worse than the reverse. They would get stomped.

The point is to make good AI to play within the rules of the game. It's a lot more difficult than giving the AI advantages over the human player. If the AI could cheat you could just make a dumb AI that gets infinite resources that wou

This is completely different than meteor. Meteor is for making realtime web applications, this is for making desktop applications by leverage existing web technology (html/css/js).

Isn't there some sort of treaty that prevents stuff like this? China probably wouldn't even follow it however.

You could literally say that about anything. "Rails is just an implementation of the MVC pattern, not a framework."

Isn't the whole point of C to have as minimal abstraction as possible?

So this is "hacked" like how anonymous used to hack government websites back in the day. They have control of social media websites and public facing webservers. Terrifying to the lay person and a joke to any technical people.

Say you want to apply a certain commit to your branch, it makes more sense to "add" a feature than to "added" a feature. What does a commit do? It adds/fixes/breaks, it doesn't added/fixed/broke.

Zero tolerance policies are never a good idea, there's always some exception that seems far fetched until it actually happens that proves this.
