Now that's a fair criticism, the article is very light on birb pictures too.

You guys really need to step out when you start to get too cynical. It's a cute story about something that is out of the ordinary and left a emotional mark in someone, enough that they wanted to write about it. No need to be so judgeme

I think it's pretty indicative of your point that every time that I post something here, I get anxious. I use my real name here, and I'm terrified of posting an opinion that's not carefully apolitical or overexplained, and po

And that's why you don't get your term definitions from people that don't understand it.

Same, I then went back to the original comment and thought "damn, that's a clever joke".

These days? I remember in the late 90s, early 2000s, and it really felt like 1/3 or so of all websites were vulnerable to things like PHP injection and SQL injection. I remember having to bypass login pages to do benign things like cha

Isn't "boring" also a function of "would I see myself doing this?"? People don't seem to find being an Uber driver boring, because you talk to people all day. This sounds extremely boring and tiresome to me.

That's an oldie, but the experience was the same for me. I was reading Metaprogramming Ruby at the time, and going over the implementation made everything much clearer to understand.

Starlink is a money cow, but having your competitor rely on you for the most expensive part of the job sounds like a great proposition for SpaceX. For OneWeb, they just don't have other options anymore.

Oh, I meant in the sense that this book will not bring you obscure information or something really new if you have read more than some books from Stoics. Also, I don't think there's such a thing as a "stoic blind adherent&quo

Oh, smalltalk is neat, indeed, but would need both optional and named arguments at the same time to get the same effect, right? Would still make sense to you to get one without the other? I think optional is much more possible than named :P

Can you elaborate a little bit why it would be important? I get the appeal, of course, but having spent lots of time in Rust the past few years, it feels like polymorphism/traits cover that hole quite well, and will get better once&#x2

If you haven't gone too far into the stoicism rabbit hole yet, I really recommend "Life of the Stoics", by Ryan Holiday. It's a compilation of the history (and probably myths from their time) of all of the biggest minds

The Salmon of Doubt was the one from Douglas Adams for me. I loved hitchhiker's, but there's something so earnest in that book. Like a late goodbye from someone you would've loved to be friends with. Made me go on a life-long

I use it professionally, and can say: it's worth it. Even the warts are minor compared to how polished and intuitive the language feels after you accept it's dogmas (or die fighting against the borrow checker). The error messages

Most of the incorrect code on the article for rust is quite contrived though. It's not perfect, just better, or more strict.

God, same to me. I'm very conflicted about the guy, but it sank my heart to think that he died. Glad it's just a (possibly bad) post about his books.

With your naked eye, you won't be able to see them, except on deploy, which most of the pictures you see around are. The satellites themselves are getting better at "being dark" and the image processing algorithms are getting

I haven't tried as I started using an old fb account that i don't use anymore for nothing else, but if you still need a Facebook account to use it, you'll still have to give them heaps of data, including verifying your phone

They are very artisanal, though. I used to do timing for anime fansubs when I was a teenager, and there's a lot of subtlety going on, specially when you don't speak the language (you're guided mostly by sound and phonetics, a

It's not an English word, so yeah, kinda. I use "singular they" nowadays, but I'll not speak "gender neutral Portuguese" because English people want me to.

As a Latino: it's bullshit. I'm willing to accept the changes you do to your English, it's completely fine, your language your rules. Trying to change my language is a no-no, in my opinion, and feel dehumanizing, as if my cul

Mine is 30 gigabytes or so. Using mbsync, it takes up to half an hour for the first sync, then 10 seconds or less to sync after that. I do that once every minute using Cron, and it has been serving me quite well. I don't usually open u

by cfcosta 5y ago
You can add mbsync to Cron or something like that, then use claws mail or astroid (if you use notmuch) to search on it. If you make the tools transparent I think he won't notice, or even notice how fast it is to search everything local

Actually, thanks a lot for the recommendation. I'll be migrating my custom domain from Google apps into something else and this will be of great help.

I've used OfflineIMAP for many years, and recently (less than a year) moved to mbsync. It's much faster, and the end result is largely the same (I did some sanity tests, downloading both and comparing). I'm not exactly sure i
