Just using Cygwin will show that file names can indeed end in periods (and spaces). The article is very much restraining itself to the standard limitations imposed by the Win32 API, but not what the operating system actually allows. Case se

An easy target for whomever decides to start shooting. Murderers don't obey rules, that's part of being a murderer. The idea that carrying a firearm is inherently dangerous is absurd.

What's wrong with it is that it's nothing the Rust Foundation should ever be concerned with. I sure as hell wouldn't want to attend conferences where firearms are forbidden. I don't want to be an easy target.

It is odd. It's trivially installable on Debian from any host architecture, even.

The branding got confused down the road. It was simply KDE for over a decade (maybe two? I don't remember the timing precisely). Then suddenly, a rebrand, KDE is the community of developers and users and Plasma was the desktop environm

Likewise with the "we've received attacks directed at Foundation members". Are we talking about people sending feedback that disagrees with the policy, or genuine threats? I'd find it hard to believe the latter has taken

Two of those programs predate POSIX and do not indicate that OpenBSD follows POSIX. They are making their operating system to the design they like best. Some of it happens to coincide with what POSIX asks for, but it is merely coincidental.

I like Wireguard being in base now.

OpenBSD was fairly anti-POSIX in the past. I don't know if that's relaxed at all, but they very much do not chase after it.

Like everything, they are useful as a tool in certain contexts, particularly the application context. Just don't try to pretend it's a "good for everything" tool.

Upstart got some decent adoption, with both Debian, Fedora, and RHEL switching to it by default for a short time. Its downfall was that it didn't offer a great deal of benefits and kept all the downsides of sysvinit. systemd was superi

By the time Windows 12 is released, you'll see legions of Windows fans clamoring to keep 11 at all costs. They'll also add it to the chart as one of the "good" ones.

At least there are cryptographic functions backing cryptocurrency. It's not _as_ inaccurate as "serverless".

That makes sense. I am against involuntary circumcision (and honestly, Christians shouldn't be practicing it anyway :p).

A couple of the claims made by the parent don't seem to hold merit: genital mutilation and dildos. I doubt the Bible has an examples of those, but the other claims, yes it does contain that, always as a negative example of how wicked p

Those files are not in optional locations. You could possibly symlink from ~/.bashrc to ~/.config/bash/bashrc, but what's the point of that?

Does Ole remember to cite LibreOffice in the production of that document?

by chungy 4y ago
At least in the real world, free software doesn't demand that you agree with authors or do anything really. For as long as Ole keeps Parallel as free software, we can use it regardless of complying with requests. Quite honestly, I thin

Perl isn't dead, not by a long shot. Perl 6 happened too, and because compatibility was never even really a thought, renamed to Raku instead. There's been talks for a few years of finally bumping Perl's major version in order

Thanks, this is likely where I read it first. I hadn't realized the actual implementation got more complicated than that. :)
