They had slowly and surely shifted from building things for actual developers to growth for its own sake. And doubled down on this leading up to the acquisition, no reason to expect it to stop. Despite they had been profitable for years fro

This your comment has some well reasons, and I thank you despite that I disagree. It contribute to the exchange of ideas. The top comment does not so, this is my objection.

Easy snark on the headline contribute nothing positive to this site. Explain what fault you find in the Guardian premise and I will listen. For e.g., the sister comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28315019 perhaps

Fascinating, however with English having estimated order of 1e9 words, probably only that two-turn play could be enacted. Making second team to win in certainty in that kind of arms race.

Just so Linux is not copyright to me, but to introduce my computer to malware is crime against my property, not Linux Foundation.

Interesting, would you mind to point to one of such edit you mention? I cannot see to what you refer. I see removal of newsmax URL few times, however that linked article is not supporting of Harper's original as I read. Perhaps I am no

The right of voting is more essential, however, it is the sine qua non of all the others. If we fall down to the point where guns are required to indeed defend the rights, they functionally are not existing any more.

The original publication was at Harper's Magazine, not CNN, but this infamous quotation has dubious provenance and veracity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ehrlichman#Drug_war_quote

It seems we need to be distinct in pride as public vs. pride as private. In private, you are being proud of a thing you have done, it gives you good feeling and confidence, and inspiring you to go on to other works. It is positive and to bu

In similar way that Al Capone was indicted for tax evasion, not for the many other crimes he was understood to commit. The prosecution stands on what it can be able to proved in court, with a judge sharply listening to each detail.

It seems the article does defend "it's possible" for strictly regular expressions. To allow lookahead will be context-sensitive, so not in that spirit.

I had one job during university at a café breakfast shop which the point of sale, scheduling, payrolls, and such were run by the owner's custom FileMaker program. (She did not like to spend money on commercial software.) It was not so

Seconding this. I was in my previous position at a little under 5 years, with in fact substantive raises (8-10%) each. But still I jumped 15% immediately in base salary by joining to another company.

Indeed. It does not need precisely multithreading, but at least asynchrony, which is to allow side tasks to not block the main function of editing text. I have low familiarity with emacs internals, but I can assume there is an event loop, w

In the GitHub video you said "you should never use π" (to use τ instead), an interesting comment. What is the reasoning for saying so?

A quite simple demonstration is to be in an environment with constant but not overwhelming repetitive noise, such as a slightly loud fan. While you are concentrating to do something else, perhaps reading, the sound will disappear from your

Much of OSS UI/UX however does not follow such excellent guidelines, but is rather a kitchen sink, and that does not in truth well serve either power users nor novice. As you are suggesting, the design must have thoughtful work applied

Just to side note, the 27" iMac RAM is the rare component that is upgradable by the user. You should be able to get 128GB for under $700 if you do not buy the RAM from Apple.

Although to be exact I would not even call this any "mistake". It is simply human. But I do understand that others might consider it to be so.
