   Hey, this is the most egoless post that I've ever seen Wolfram make. Give him a break.

   I guess that the only reason that Ruby is as low as Python is because Rails is so popular that people don't need to mention the word "Ruby" anymore.

   My approach is to have the scientist write as little code as possible. That's why I'm working on GarlicSim: http://garlicsim.org GarlicSim's goal is to do all the technical, tedious work involved in writing a simulation while letting the

   "What's your problem?" I'm curious about the OP's logic. I believe I found a hole in it and I'm curious whether I have made a mistake or he did, and I'll be happy if he'll point out my mistake if I have one.

   "I really don't see why you are knocking the OP for making something that fits his (and presumably others) needs." I'm making the case that it doesn't fit his needs, since his reluctance of paying the GitHub price is an example of this:

   People who think that Bitbucket is on par with GitHub are the same kind of people who said that StackOverflow could be cloned in a week. You focus on features but fail to see all the painstaking attention to detail that went into creating t

    If you've got 40 private repos, I assume you're at the very least a moderately experienced professional programmer. Let's say for the sake of a figure that you charge a low price of $50 per hour. So buying a GitHub Gold account is like two

    I think that anyone who complains about GitHub's price has gotten way too spoiled, or perhaps underestimates the amount of effort required to maintain a service of that quality and reliability. I find this to be another symptom of HN tunnel

    I don't have an example, I'm just thinking what's the best way for an OS to handle deletion.

    Why not just keep backups for 30 days? Be realistic. Setting up backups takes effort that many users are not going to expand, while the recycling bin mechanism can be set up by default.

    I'd be cool with using a clone of `rm` that sends to the recycling bin instead of actually deleting. I think that Linux should include a clone like this by default.

    there is no need to recreate the functionality at a lower level. I refer you to the original submission.

    it's also still possible to recover the files you deleted with rm. If you're lucky and didn't write too much to the hard-disk after deletion, yes, but with a recycling bin you have much higher chances of recovery. Regarding `del` in DOS:

    by cool-RR 15y ago

    You don't want to have to depend on the user to clean up after your automation. I don't see what's the big deal is. Once in a while when the recycling bin gets too big, the user can empty it. Or you can have a scheduled operation that del

    If it wasn't obvious, "Why is `rm -rf` not connected to the recycle bin?" is implicit in my original question.

    by cool-RR 15y ago

    That's what I thought. I'd be happy if anyone chimed in with a legitimate reason, but I won't be surprised if the lack of a recycling bin is just one more symptom of the Linux developer community's apathy towards the actual human beings who

    I really don't understand your point. I'm happy to learn things from Java and apply them in Python despite the fact that I never programmed Java. Regarding the differences in typing between Java and Python: Despite of these differences, `fl

    I looked at my own Prey installation and found this password, but it was just "password", apparently because I don't use the email feature. So it only affects the users of this feature.

    One advantage of gibberish passwords like "b923F$5mvA" is that if someone looks at your fingers while typing them, he'll have a hard time figuring them out from your keypresses, whereas if you typed "this is fun", it would be much easier. D
