Only if they're not on the same line though. When you have // ... if (rc < 0) return rc; // ... It's easy to confuse the indentation for a block and end up with something like the appl

I've a few such pieces, including this one. It might very well be true that people who believe they have ADD, actually have one or more other psychiatric problems. Many people who believe they have ADD don't, and many diagnoses

Yes. I don't take them frequently, and my dosage is still at the level it was when I was 15 and taking the regularly, and my tolerance is obviously lower than it was then, so the effects are more intense than for people who take it eve

Hmmm not sure why that would be happening. I test in on Firefox on Android (Nexus 5), where it works perfectly. I don't think I do any weird things with the CSS, although I just modified an existing theme, so maybe it's something

Copyright infringement != plagiarism. They're not violating the copyright because they abide by the terms of the license. They're also not plagiarising because they clearly cite its original source. They even go so far as to say &

Well they know that you're running tor, but they can't prove that you used to access censored content. For all they know you just used it to make sure that your website blocks connections from tor exit nodes (please don't do

Sorry, haven't been a mac user for a couple years (has it been that long!) so maybe things have changed, but what is Finder other than a file manager?

Is bypassing the firewall illegal? How do you avoid getting caught? It would seem that using a vpn all the time would implicate you. I can only see it working with something like tor where you're always connecting through a different n

Is it bad to look like bash? Bash really is a beautiful language, and string interpolation is one of the things that it's designed for.

Do you run a free software focused system like GNU/Linux? They're much more scriptable than OS X and Windows because (1) a lot of programs embrace the Unix interoperability conventions and (2) free software means that if someone f

That's not the definition of scripting that the article was refering to. The article was refering to automating tasks, which is usually, but not necessarily, accomplished with "scripting languages".

I think what the parent meant to say was "why don't you consider doing that as your main source of income?"

Oh I'm sure I didn't approach it in the most optimal way. I have years of experience with Arch and only a few days with debian — less when I was installing it. It's only natural that I'd end up using the wrong tool. Assu

Maybe I was never the typical "new user" because I moved to linux from OS X after I realized that the way I was using my mac, doing everything in just the terminal and web browser, was going against the grain in apple-world, but w

Funny, because my memories of using OSX feature kernel panics, memory leaks and all kinds of broken behaviors. Even running Fedora on a macbook pro was significantly more stable, and Fedora's not known for its stability. Maybe my exper

Great question. - No tabs, that's the job of the window manager. I get that most window managers are too underpowered to replicate browser tabs. Stop using those window managers I guess. Note that this gets you tab isolation for free,

Well it was added recently, during the same time as things like pocket and hello are being added. A lot of people will never use it, so it's fair for them to put it in the same bloatware category. I use it a lot on mobile, not so much

You're conflating the idea of copyright violation and plagiarism. Copyright violoation is violating someone's exclusive right to control a piece of original content. Plagiarism is claiming someone else's ideas as your own. Id

Well no, because then the page would load way too slowly and users would click away and avoid the site in the future. But suppose publishers did go this route. Adblocking software would just evolve to match it. They would fetch the ads from

I don't know anything about Chapel beyond what's on this page, but while I'd guess that you're correct, that where clauses only work with constants, given Chapel's widespread use of range types, it's possible t

That's... true, but lines of code don't actually reach nearly 80 characters in length when you limit lines to 80 characters. Once you subtract the indentation, the remaining width of the line between the termination and the 80 cha

I agree with you. But I don't think "prudent and cautious" can quite be boiled down to just a certainty of outcome. Risk/reward plays in a lot. If we take "cautious" to mean a medium degree of risk aversion, th

That's orthoganal the math at play here. The point of that analogy was to create a situation in which someone is right 55% of the time and see how the language "prudent and cautious" feels in those circumstances. Whether that

The D programming language has compiler support for this. Unfortunately due to legacy concerns it's opt-in, which makes it much less useful, and the designers have said that they regret not adding it to the language earlier when it cou

Maybe the author, presumably well versed in type systems, assumed that the use of effect typing was implied. If you're not familiar go check it out, but I'll give a synopsis. If you're familiar with `unsafe' in Rust, i

I understand why it's attractive to integrate more and more into the language proper, but I don't like it. Almost all tools which still embrace the unix way of doing things are written in C, and it's not just because that c
