I have a Ricoh color laser printer (mc250fwb) which is absolutely wonderful hardware and toner wise, but the linux drivers are only provided as a self extracting exe-file, and the scanner feed is not supported. The Android app is the bigges

I'm truly curious why you perceive the parent comment to be sexist? Apart from using "her" pronouns, I don't perceive any mention of gender... What am I missing?

It wouldn't waste time garbage collecting to focus on trash talking instead.

Python has multithreading, they just don't run concurrently. Which may or may not be suitable for your application. E.g. you can't simultaneously utilize multiple cores, but you can listen to several blocking IO bound tasks.

Not to forget the "90% get fired my an egotistical maniac who expressed his distain by quite publicly calling them lazy useless pieces of shit" scenario. That scenario is also seldom considered.

It cannot be a pure coincidence that the current "If books could kill"[1] podcast cover "The Coddling ...". very pleasurable, laugh-out-loud listening. [1]: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly

I came here expecting the same :) Though I prefer used Thinkpads. There's a plentiful supply of leased machines. Instead of disposable, they are excellent quality & nicely repairable and upgradeable in nearly all aspects. (Screen r

Florida woman! But gotta say, while the site is showing it's age a bit, it has character and Yvette's looks like a fun place.

While I share the sentiment, it seems like this one came with a built in expiration date. It's clear that any specific AI accelerator chip will not remain state of the art for long. Coral always felt like a prototype they produced a co

We tried to extract pseudo-code test procedures out of an ISO Standard and ended up developing heuristics of how to piece the text together based on the color of the syntax highlighting. Terrible, terrible format. At the moment I'd lik

Those sheets of paper have a really long history and humans have evolved it to be just the right size ... to handle and hold. And ergonomically two columns on a sheet of A4 (whatever by 11 in) is a pretty good default for the human visual s

I'd sure hope the tutorial gets updated, if that's what the git team decide to change the default to. The people running the main git documentation site seem to do a pretty good job of keeping up to date, though, so I'm optim

It's arbitrary save that a default value (i.e. "master") exists that is used if none is provided to 'git init' when the repo is first created. That default name is configurable, e.g. to 'trunk' if you like

The problem with that argument is that it would prevent _any_ improvements to git that don't correspond to outdated documentation. You could just as well argue that the changed name of the default branch is one of very many things that

How refreshingly nerdy and technical! If I wasn't currently stuck figuring out an arcane linker problem I wouldn't even have glanced at this, but by chance, it's a breath of fresh air. Thanks for posting!

Out of curiosity, how did this affect you? This is only an issue the very first time you set up a repo, no? As soon as you push 'master' to an empty GitHub project, that becomes the default branch. And if you clone a repo there is

Example of what? Is this being mandated by your organization's administration? Count yourself lucky working with an administration that gives a shit about version control.

Personally I'd consider it wordplay. I certainly didn't take offense at the title or feel misled, and it seems to me that the person I responded to didn't either. Maybe we should take everything so seriously?

I would think of it more like: if you want to learn to play the piano, you'll need to sit down, learn some music theory and practice scales. This advice isn't necessarily the only way to go especially if you're happy just tap

This certainly plays into it. From my understanding, part of "owning" a brand is actively protecting it from generifying (generification? ... keeping the brand name from turning into a generic designation). If a term becomes synon

I think you'll have to read a couple of Ayn Rand novels to truly understand what they mean. But I think the gist of it can be reduced to: "I'm very smart and upset that I have to pay taxes. Also, I don't like it when I s
