   I'm generally with you, but preferred XP with the Classic theme, and stupid sidebars disabled. It had a quite a few improvements over 2k. I miss real menus and configurable tool bars. I've had to piece together a Frankenstien of

   I looked around but couldn't find a great answer on how to do this correctly in Python on Linux. I have a daemon that attempts to shut down cleanly when it gets a number of signals and it appears to be working correctly. But, it&#x27

   You may have a very long python-path and/or script loading a lot of modules initially if it is taking so long to start up. For example, in a recent script I deferred loading the requests module and startup improved a few tenths of a se

   So, an executable you can just run? Interesting that this is a feature to brag about. Reminds me of apps for Mac OS, in the years following 1984. Sounds a bit like static-linking plus sandbox.

   Noscript and ghostery (for the less hardcore) do similar for Firefox. Don't browse without them! It's like a condom for the internet. I cringe every time I load up a browser on the iPad and wonder what information sites are gath

   Looks quite beautiful. Wondering why these frameworks always need a build tool written in ruby, javascript, ...or OCaml? Anyone know "gulp?" I'd prefer a build tool that does not require runtimes to be installed, i.e. somet

   Not sure I agree. Webmail has always been usable for normal people, while power users could and do use a dedicated program. Gmail did bring innovations, of course, but competitors copied them. I've noticed Gmail users tend to be unaw

   Gmail? Hotmail came out in '96, Yahoo mail not long after. The opportunity regarding the family appliance, if there is one, is to make it self-managing.

    IC. I added the " -- " syntax because that's what it recommends when doing a "git status".

    I'm liking git for it's internals, but the UI is pretty bad in places: # undo commit git reset --soft HEAD~1 hg rollback # undo changes git checkout -- <file> hg revert <file> etc. I look

    As I may soon be maintaining some angular code and am new to it, I'm interested in your criticisms. Would be nice if you could expand them a bit.

    Depends on which Debian I believe, but Ubuntu doesn't update their package versions beyond security fixes within a single distro version. So you'll generally want those fixes, unless they really broke something, which I'd gue

    On Linux, Geany is the best editor for beginners and experts who like things simple: sudo apt-get install geany geany-plugins

    Gedit is pretty bare-bones and not really a programmers editor despite a few features in that direction. Geany, on the other hand is everything a beginner needs and without proprietary concerns.

    While I wouldn't expect much privacy from the provider holding my email, I would expect privacy from the government ... assuming there wasn't a warrant to access it.

    I don't do traffic either. Been lucky I guess, but I have two strategies that have worked out. One, live in walking distance to work. Two, work remotely from a walkable neighborhood.

    Come to Los Angeles. It's not perfect, but the weather's better, economy broader, there's more space, its downtown is improving every year, and building up (in several places) is encouraged. Even the long neglected Metro is
