Not sure I understand the last part of that rant. "Why won't i3 admit its a failure? I only use it because it works extraordinarily well!"

It makes sense now, yes, but I don't think most people find living in California to be a huge drawback. And almost all jobs ask you to live somewhere .

I don't think "huge projects" factors into it at all, no reasonable source file should ever come anywhere close to the Atom file size limit. If you have 13MB source files you have more serious problems than your choice of tex

To be fair, that's not Firefox. That's a Firefox skin for Safari.

I'm certain a fake fraud tag is not the way Apple would go about this.

His point is a little more subtle than that. When you're choosing a database engine to build your company on, knowing that it's open source provides some level of guarantee that someone will continue to maintain it if the compan

Oh, well then! Looking forward to the first Sierra update, in that case :) I really did not expect Apple to finally fill this gap that has been around for so many years.

I don't believe 'Escape' is one of the options. On macOS Sierra, as for every previous version for me, the only choices to remap through the prefPane are "Caps Lock", "Control", "Option", and &qu

I have to assume those YouTube commenters are just playing along with the joke. Nobody who can legally operate a power tool is that dumb.

Again, I'm not disagreeing that PNG is better. I'm saying that, even if you insist on JPG, you can still do much better than what Amazon's got going on 90% of their splash pages.

While true, this is still well below the upper bound of quality JPG is capable of.

Amazon has got this weird thing with low-quality JPGs, and especially text-as-images for all their announcements. Every time they announce a new Kindle or something, the front page becomes a giant image of a "letter from Bezos" wi

Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Surely anyone savvy enough to be dealing in black-market e-mail address lists is savvy enough to just remove everything after the + sign?

How so? It's meant to be used by researchers distributing the datasets for their own papers. (Notwithstanding the fact that people seem to already be uploading textbooks/lectures, which seems against the stated intent).

Now for somebody to use this to write a Gmail extension that removes the hundred-levels-deep signature and reply chains that Outlook appends (and which evades Gmail's currently reply-collapsing).

There's an open PR to add 5.1 support, and it seems to just be a bit-for-bit identical copy of the 5.0 code which Vagrant inexplicably requires a separate driver for: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull&

If you've been following Buffer at all, you'll know that they actually walk the talk. It's not just a vacuous "mission statement".

He was asking why URLs ARE still being counted as part of the length – Twitter seems to have excluded everything except for those. Your reply demonstrates how arbitrary that distinction is :)
