What are the things about Redox that aren't strictly Unix (or maybe POSIX) which you feel are marked improvements over Unix that folks with a general interest Unix & OS development should know about?

This is the only reason I'm not buying it either.

I think this is a pretty solid statement that treats the issue fairly. I like a lot of organisations with a lot of historical baggage would do well to read it.

Religious, like having a theology or something more consistent with a civic religion where people display certain convictions they actually do not subscribe to in order to show membership in a specific group?

I just want to hear Douglas Rain's voice coming out of my computer.

My friend gifted me this and I really struggled to get it. My conclusion was that it was solely about finding the right spot to place things, given the constraints of the tile and the world. Is that right?

I find it interesting how often stuff about Julian Jaynes and his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind gets posted here (and I guess on Reddit and back in the day Slashdot). FWIW, the submission link is pa

User programmable household applies seem like an interesting idea. I'd like to have a smart stove top that didn't have an app or require internet access (for example).

I really struggle with the sort of obsessive compulsive behaviour that makes curating a personal knowledge base a meaningful and useful exercise. Nevertheless I did it for years using a Mac OS only suite of apps from DevonThink. Then my a

I've been a Reddit user since about the time that the Digg Patriots poisoned the well over at Digg... At least that's what prompted me to make an account. Reading through the comments here is a bit weird for me because it seems li

I have not yet gotten my attention back. Did this piece ever get to the point?

Have you considered asking the moderators of /r/InternetIsBeautiful if you could make a post explaining what happened and asking for some crowd funding?

Get arrested and go to jail... that's where there's a large concentration of criminals from which you can learn.

The main thing I remember about Winamp is how Nullsoft release that P2P thing and made corporate at AOL really angry, so they pulled it, in like a day or so. I also switched from Windows to MacOS just before that and transitioning from Wina

100% of my interest in James Joyce comes from Joseph Campbell. The first time I tried to read Joyce my attempt did not go well because I didn't really understand why Campbell was so taken with these works, so my own expectations about

As enraging as I find switching back and forth between English and German keyboards, I fear I just don't have the emotional fortitude for something like this.

It has also been my experience that it’s easier to view America from the outside. Though I find this excruciatingly painful to convey to folks that I know who have never lived any where else.

This sort of thing is pretty consistent with all these devices. I guess the manufacturers only want to sell to outfits like Amazon or Google and want to make damn sure that everyone else is left out. I'm convinced that this is a signi

Does DYI stand for "Do Yourself In"?

by Quequau 7y ago
Yes, I think you are correct. I've also noticed it in own behaviour and now deliberately and consciously avoid it. Instead I try to convey and share my enthusiasm for something I just learned because I think a lot of folks enjoy find

I've been moderating a handful of communities over on Reddit for about ten years now, among them several are focused on hearing health. Something I see as a matter of routine is the roughly 21 day arc of folks learning that some alime

This man's positive role in defusing tense stand-offs at political rallies and short circuiting bad faith discussion derailing with incredibly skilful humour is tragically underrated.

I was a really big fan of Cyberpunk in the late 80's and early 90's but looking at the genre now... well it hasn't aged well, in my brain at least. Solarpunk and Afrofuturism, seem like great evolutions of Cyberpunk and I was

This is how I quit and it's a profoundly disappointing and discouraging thing that this is not more broadly known. I should have quit 15-20 years before I actually did and had I known about The Sinclair Method the first time I was sub

I use Reddit a lot and I find some of the finance focused subreddits to be really repellent. I don't know if this is because, while I have a degree in economics, I'm not an investor or that I just have a low tolerance for some of

In the last unsuccessful interview I went through, the interviewer mentioned something about "being a family" or similar. I have major issues with this statement because it conveys a lot of unvoiced & unreasonable expectations

You've reminded me that there's a five-way intersection next to Uni Graz. Some years ago they basically removed all traffic signals and most signs, basically ceding the whole area to priority for pedestrians. When I first came a

I live in Graz and I'm hard of hearing. Hearing aids make locating where some kinds of sounds come from difficult, so I miss a lot of acoustic cues that pedestrians use to navigate their way through busy places. I've been run down

As I already talk to myself a lot, I'm way closer to this sort of strategy working than I would have thought before you mentioned it. Though I don't enunciate at all when I talk to myself, so whatever was doing the detecting woul
