> and bob's your uncle Completely OT, but I had just had to look up this phrase and the supposed origin made me chuckle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob%27s_your_uncle

It's still in the blood of the French. You don't have to be in Paris for long to encounter mass protests.

Can confirm. Same when I did service in Sweden. Reasonable mustaches were OK, beards were not.

I always wanted to like KDE but never really good hooked on it way back when I was surveying desktop environments over a decade ago. Have been on xmonad on my main desktops for quite some time now and just going with GNOME, Xfce or LXDE in

I wasn't necessarily referring to the author here, it is more of a straw-man really. Could have worded that better.

I don't know about where you are, but in my jurisdiction that is definitely not the case.

Good points, thanks for the clarifications. > I did not say that, nor do I believe it, nor is it really related. Sorry for putting words in your mouth, but that's kind of how it came across as I read it.

> false. open source is literally just a friendlier name and otherwise rebranding of free software. This is not how anyone I have ever talked to thinks about it. You are probably confusing Free Software[0] with open source software[1]. I

No, but I would be just as upset if I wouldn't have done that contribution. There is no way they can change the past - my contribution is still open source and so is the project up until the version where they introduced the license ch

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that copyright transfer is not even legally applicable in many jurisdictions.

Counter-example here - used to be more of a libertarian but have shifted my perspective from the view of the individual as an atomic unit. I don't think there's an obvious generalization to make. My 5c would be that (as another co

It's a great point to be aware of, but the title and the tone implies that you as a contributor should be a FOSS maximalist. As they say, not all open source is FOSS. And some people are OK with that. Let them contribute, as long as th

Plus codes is exactly what you are suggesting. Plus codes are generated from lat/long.

You are right, of course. I still use Firefox for everything except the few extensions I haven't replaced yet. I expect this interim period to last up to a month.

The clear break for me came in version 39. I am staying on Chromium 38 for the few sites and extensions where I still depend on Chrome and using Firefox for everything else. Once version 38 becomes obsolete I will stop using Chromium alltog

I completely missed the "from 1994" part (tag was not there at the time of my comment). Things have changed and I don't have my music history down it seems. But Kraftwerk was still first, no?

I am quite familiar with techno culture and this piece is extremely misrepresentative. Reads like a promo piece from the artist's clueless PR agent. Maybe the Detroit scene sees things like this (I am from Europe), but no, techno is d

I have to say I am surprised and disappointed. Keybase has up until now been a shining example of doing crypto right but still accessible and easy to use. This decision falls strictly on the wrong side of the line of acceptable compromises.

You could use the same argument to say that SV engineer salaries should be way less in order to align with the global markets.

I might be missing something here, but how does not owning property necessarily mean "living hand to mouth and at risk of being booted out of your apartment by a dickhead landlord"? Just going to put this here for people who are i

Am I the only one here who actually likes it dark? It might be healthier with natural light, but my personal preferences has always been darkness. I wonder if it is related to coming from a northern country (Scandinavia) where ~1/4 of

I agree on most of your points, except this: > If you're a vegetarian, forget about it lol. Nobody there understands or really cares. You'll only ever be able to eat at foreign restaurants which pretty much restricts you to Tai

"Investing in property" is not something I would include in "live well". It sounds like you are assuming everyone should be aspiring for wealth. Regardless, I was based in Taipei for about 1.5 years and if you just adapt

Correct me if I am wrong, but all components of Docker CE are open source and one could therefore still download and build the binaries themselves, right? I really don't see the issue of requiring hoops to get precompiled binaries as l

Took until middle of second paragraph until I realized it's not some variety of CS or mathematical products but the products supplied by a business. Such confuse.

Thank God for this. AirBNB rules are just bad style. I wish someone would make a PR of a glaring omission I want for our juniors: https://github.com/bencoveney/TSFluff/issues/17

I'd argue that "simplicity and efficiency of use" clearly falls under User eXperience.

Furthermore, the e-mails are sent in clear-text and readable by any endpoint on the way transporting the e-mail to its destination. It's akin to sending your information back to yourself by post card rather than stored in a file with a
