"What do we do when fundamental right X of person A conflicts with fundamental right Y of person B" is a question courts have been asking and answering for a very long time. There's a hell of a lot of ECtHR and CJEU case law

"Unix philosophy" seems to be one of those phrases that everyone likes agreeing with because you can use it to either justify or condemn anything you like. E.g. you could perfectly plausibly make the argument that systemd's r

Looks nice, but I actually moved which time-tracker I use only a week ago, to Toggl[1]. Might be missing something, but at a glance I can't see anything obvious this does better to justify $5 a month (I'm on Toggl's free tier

Synapse may not have an active upstream any more, but, well, the Ubuntu package is still well-maintained (in the synapse-core/testing ppa), and it does everything I need it to. An aversion to orphaned software is clearly good for thing

Alternatives: kupfer (in the repositories) or synapse (ppa:synapse-core/testing ppa has a trusty build). I moved from gnome-do to synapse a while ago just because it feels faster.

Mildly alarmist. Yes, there isn't going to be a 2.8, but on the other hand 2.7's being supported until 2020.[1] So it's not like you're going to be unsupported if you don't transition in the next 10 seconds. [1] ht

Specifying the width proportion with fractions looks pretty nice. But the paragraph explaining how jeet's better than bootstrap/foundation/etc. because it lets you use sass mixins (instead of inline classes) to separate conte

Nah. The CFREU (Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU) is binding on EU bodies, and national bodies only when they are implementing EU law . It doesn't directly bind other things national bodies do. That's the job of the ECHR (

I think josephlord's point was that the name "ROT13" completely specifies the 'key': If you changed that, it would no longer be ROT13. So it arguably can't be considered a key if you define 'key' to m
