I came here to include a picture of the kakoune.org problem, but since you already have one I'll include a (hilariously?) similar picture of your tweet. http://i.imgur.com/zUYt7V9.jpg On the subject of kak, I tried it

A sentiment echoed by Federal Appeals Court judge Alex Kozinski[1]. "If we as a society want to carry out executions, we should be willing to face the fact that the state is committing a horrendous brutality on our behalf." [1] h

A fun quirk of colour names in HTML: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911/why-does-html-thi... I don't think it applies to CSS, just 'bgcolor' and the like.

It looks like you can commit code to the game by pointing it at a GitHub repository or other methods[1]. I couldn't find documentation on the GitHub integration but here's some people talking about it[2]. [1] http://sup

I really enjoyed it. It was pretty fun to see everyone else's submissions and read their comments. I also like the command-line interface. No GUI or web garbage to muck with to fetch or submit exercises.

If you're working with multiple symbols, such as (), {}, and [], you'd want to use a stack. Closing a child ( before its parent { would be an error.

Consider looking at the Glance app. I enjoyed my Pebble to start with, but it became far more useful with Glance. I can now reply to text messages from a list of options I created on my phone. I filled the list with the messages I send the

Slide 6 lists staff, including S Jobs and S Wozniak. That leads me to believe it is Apple, though I have no idea if they were involved in other companies.

Could you elaborate? In what I've learned (in the past few minutes) it looks like it hasn't has POSIX compatibility since an optional subsystem up to Windows 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX#POSIX_for

I really don't feel that way about my Android smartphone. Mobile operating systems are an experience as far from the console experience of freedom as one can get. This looks like exactly the device that I'd like to carry around wi

While I'd agree that it's not a good idea for a lot of purposes, that doesn't mean it's simply not a good idea. People will either be interested in playing with it or they wont, in which case it will simply cease to be d

What is the point of decoding this back into the user's original "ENIGMA" and "AMAZON" strings? In this case, "sh(/J3HqAfQsu..u.rqf" is the user's password. If you have that, there is nothing t

Free speech doesn't require antagonizing anyone. I don't advocate censoring ourselves out of fear, but I wouldn't defend sticking our tongues out at a bully, even if we're on the moral high ground. We would be better ser

I too wonder why, as a linux user, I should care how many other people use the system. It seems to me that we have a really good community going and if more people join in, good for them, but Linux isn't in any danger of fading into ob

It'll definitely be interesting to see how many 32-bit embedded systems remain in use in 2038 - and what effect the overflow will have on their functionality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem#Vulnera

Zed[1] is probably the best editor on Windows, OSX, and Linux too. I hate to go back to editors where I have to save, manage what tabs are open, and clutter the workspace with toolbars and buttons. [1] http://zedapp.org/

Those projects do have a lot of money behind them. The point there is that there is room to make money with open source projects. There are business models besides selling software directly. You make an excellent point about mobile computin

I don't understand your argument. Some of the most popular software in the world is free. Linux, Apache, OpenSSL, Firefox and more are used by millions and got built without charging people to use them. On a personal computer, there is

Consider the discussion taking place in other comments - SSL has never guaranteed a conversation between client and a server at the "end". The concept of one server at the end of your connection is wrong. Often, you'll be con

I wonder if creating relationships between notes would work well for me and my very large to-do list. However, it may be a moot point since at the current rate it's more like a never-do list. ~/ideagraveyard.txt
