Compiled this on Linux with very minor changes (which were limited to Makefile edits), and still works - even on Wayland, via Xwayland! Unfortunately it doesn't support HTTP 1.0 so no one is willing to talk to me. I was able to get it

SO has long been the butt of jokes about over-moderation. Any arbitrary SO link found in the wild is 90% likely to be closed for some reason or another, even though it probably solves the problemn you ended up on that page to solve. It&#x27

The human element is important imo. I don't think automating it away is wise. However, many distros have tools for speeding the work for particular languages.

This is a large part of why, in my opinion, language-specific package managers are generally bunk (though language-specific packaging tooling is not necessarily so). I install all of my Python packages system-wide through my distribution&#x

I see what you mean. You may have suspended the account for entirely unrelated reasons and may be tracking the issues separately internally. But under the broader banner of Cloudflare censorship being discussed here, the two are related.

by Sir_Cmpwn 9y ago
I'm not going to push this unrelated thing any further than to point out we're talking about two websites who had service suspended on the same day by the same company. Do you have a source for the explanation?
1269.
by Sir_Cmpwn 9y ago
Of course it's related. Where did you see that the website owner was provided an explanation?

They also suspended service to a BitTorrent website without notice: https://twitter.com/NyaaV2/status/986562408033521664

Did you just latch onto this without intpreting it in context? The tone he used in that part of the article is derogatory towards the employers of these women, the inference being that these employers don't look past them as being &quo

Not that a HN post is needed, they'll be sure to annoy you with a popup next time you open the devtools.

On the contrary, I also regularly work in depth with JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Golang, Java, Scala, Rust, C#, Perl, assembly, and more, in no particular order, and I routinely work as a sysadmin, network administrator, and operations.

Hah, I don't use Windows, far from it. But Microsoft is more than a single product. Few would argue that their desktop isn't dying, but they are diversifying for exactly that reason.

by Sir_Cmpwn 9y ago
I can appreciate that argument, and I agree with you, but I don't think that's the argument you made in your original comment. It's a good one, though.

Google is awful. But so is Facebook. Shifting blame to Google in a discussion about Facebook is a distraction from the problem.

Who really bears that responsibility? Bill Gates? Steve Ballmer? Guess what - they're both out and the new leadership clearly has a different approach in mind. Microsoft has no blame for Linux being a bad desktop platform - and for the

Microsoft employees probably read HN, and rumour has it that the cause to open source more stuff is driven by the engineers. HN readers probably have some influence into the technology decisions made by their employers. Maybe Microsoft as s

Wow, this is a really disappointing thread. There are very few substantive comments here. I came to the comments to dispute this claim from the article: >It's the first time ever that Microsoft has made Linux part of a product offer

Nice resources. I should probably elaborate on my actual study methods: - Vocabulary study with Anki - Kanji study (RTK order) with a script that shows vocab on my desktop - Grammar study via Tae Kim - Listening practice with regular consum

The reason Duolingo is ineffective in my opinion is multi-faceted. First, my main language for study is Japanese, and Duolingo's Japanese course is awful - these are the specific things I noticed when trying it: - There were several
