Maybe one day there will be another cool and dominating shell. That shell is more likely to be POSIX compliant than bash compliant.

Same here. Dropping non-bash support just for [[ ... ]] over [ ... ] seems a little odd.

I am not sure if that matters anymore. Somehow that announcement reads as "we are dropping the product, therefore we are donating it to the open source community". I don't know if I am interpreting too much into that announce

I don't see the dependency on you provider as much as a problem as how you should know which provider will be there in five years. Furthermore, running your own server isn't as easy as it should be. I run my own ejabberd with abou

I wish Conversations would support the voice and video stuff, but somehow they decided against it. Otherwise Conversation is a very decent XMPP client for Android.

While I agree with the guide, there is one thing I was missing while writing bash scripts with 'set -e' and that was some kind of stack tracing. So I added a nice trap function to my personal bash script template. Be aware, that t

If the key leaves my KIA while the engine is running, an alarm sounds. Works perfectly well and if you ignore alarms without knowing what they are about... Well, then no system can help you. So the real issue here, is that some cars do not

I don't like the whole 'Google tracks us' thing either, but it seems so hypocritical when the background seems to be the Oracle-Google dispute, as we all know that Oracle isn't really known for being the good company eit

@cesidio that greatly depends what 'development' means for you. I mean, if it means developing iOS apps then you probably still have all the trouble which you have when you are trying to develop anything for the Apple ecosystem wi

Btw. regarding the Dell XPS advice found in the original post: Three years ago I bought an Dell XPS 15. After a few month the touchscreen was broken (did not respond to any input). As I didn't really need it, it took me a few weeks bef

Sometimes you wonder how something that is so widely known and has been posted so many times [1] can reach No. 1... but yeah, its cool. [1]: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=asciinema&sort=byPopularity&pr...

I wonder why they argue that way, when it seems obvious that you need some common ground to start reasoning at all. As we all start living in this world without any knowledge, all knowledge has been formed by the things we experience. And t

For some managers its not just a trust issue but also about loosing control. So even if they trust their employees to work hard from home they don't feel comfortable with the idea. I don't know why that is happening, but I have se

What I find most interesting about this is the productivity boost coming not just from people working more, but also from fewer sick days. > Additionally (and incredibly), employee attrition decreased by 50 percent among the telecommuter

I have never tried using portage with binary packages, but I am using Paludis with binary packages since a while and I have to say it is very different from using Apt or Pacman. Package managers which are build for source packages (e.g. ebu

I wish they would also offer some runtime environment to run Android apps on a normal Linux (e.g. Debian/Arch). And no, I am not talking about some weird, full size VM with a few Gigs of ram overhead. But since the business case seems

Probably because the Gentoo ecosystem (package tree, package managers) is build for source packages and not for binary packages.

Interesting, many people here seem to be fascinated by this and I am sitting here thinking: Oh my good, I hope I will never have to work on a phone receiving such calls. The technology is kinda cool, but when I think about the poor sound qu

Nice to see someone actually starting a Go powered XMPP server. I hope their breath is long enough to bring it to a competitive state.

I can see how such a story is against the 'right/racist' narrative as they think race has a major influence on intelligence, but why doesn't it fit the 'left' narrative which seems to categorize humans based on

Sounds like a major publisher is in big trouble when the management tells the webdevs which browsers they should support.

I wonder how much I need to know to predict the outcome for a certain website and how they see what the highest percentage of visitors does. Do they see through Google Analytics or do they send my behavior to their servers when I am using

Didn't know that principle had a name, but I love it. Once I have seen a project manager who's project didn't deliver much insight, so he had this brilliant idea to advise to replace some software which was built with some ol
