Would you mind backing that up with a link?

One of the problems I face when somebody comes along and tells me that they're now on Telegram, Cryptocat, Wire, or whathaveyou is that I might recall an issue but there doesn't seem to be a good up-to-date overview that answers t

Please start with this log entry > 2016-09-29T23:57:32Z Xach: I dropped com.informatimago because I do not want to have to discuss anything with pjb again. I have never enjoyed discussing anything previously, but his vile twitter feed dr

His projects were removed from quicklisp in September (see e.g. http://blog.quicklisp.org/2016/09/september-2016-quicklisp-d... ) over this matter.

There are two sides to this and I think they're important to distinguish: If the person in question was wrongfully accused, this could do undeserved damage to him. This would be a misfortune (albeit not a great one given how little act

A person can be smart in one domain and stupid in another, so much is clear (think Grothendieck in maths and politics) But a person cannot be both respectable and disrespectable at the same time, I find, although I'm afraid now we migh

Please scroll further. I understand that some of it is French but you should notice rather quickly nonetheless that this did not just happen on a single occasion. Essentially everything he writes fits into the narrative of #whitegenocide

PJB has become a bit (too little for my taste) of a persona non grata in the common lisp world (which has a large overlap with the emacs world) ever since it was suggested and so far not disproved (names match, nicknames match) that he&#x27

Comparing this with surgery is not fair, I think. Here (with a food like soylent) the gains are low and the risks are high. With surgery, the risks are high but so are the gains. Before you go into surgery you're given a list of 10 way

The use-case? Well, you have a process that will run for a long time. You don't want to keep a terminal open. You /could/ just detach it. Now what if you want to kill it? Open another terminal, kill it by PID or through pkill

This is already addressed in the article, e.g. here: There might, however, be a dark side to the story. There is a good reason we were designed to have finite sensitive periods. Takao Hensch, a Harvard neuroscientist, has

I didn't mean to imply that you did; sorry if that came out wrong.

I take the attribution in the first link (references to "Führerbunker" and "Führer") to mean that the author is comparing Lennart Poettering to Hitler. That's not funny, it's just very, very inappropriate.

You probably mean `git fetch` or `git pull`. There is no `git update` in the default feature set.

Since they make it so clear that they're '[..] not interested in building “crazy libertarian utopias for techies.”', I wonder: Who is? And where can I sign up for that?
