Can you elaborate? Debian has infrastructure for hardening their builds (look on their wiki), but each package has to make sure to use it. Unless Ubuntu patches each package source (which they don't), then they have the same hardening

Please read the article. He's talking about temperature-controlled kettles. Yours only shuts off when boiling.

Heh. Thing about LA is that it's huge. If you look for that stereotype, you'll find it. But you can also find anything else.

You can still buy those, and they're still great. And cheap!

The debate moved to the CTTE long ago. Stuff like this is noise at this point.

I've never seen an apple laptop that didn't break after a few (<= 2) years. YMMV.

I guess, but do you still not have a use for it? What if you're talking to git and referring to HEAD? Or if you're #defining things in C? Or if you're writing an email and you want to emphasize a few words?

Does nobody use the Caps Lock key as a caps lock? Pretty useful for that.

Why not? PDL exists for numerical computation. Works fine.

First of all, you can use APT to install older versions. Second, you can always make up a case where the packages in the repos don't do 100% what you desire (maybe you want some different build options, or dependency versions, etc). Th

So is Julia intended to be a general purpose language? I keep hearing about it only in the context of numerical computation.

Because some people like to use operating systems that don't have software installation and maintenance figured out. apt-get install ipython Done.

The emacs debugger infrastructure (gud) is pretty great, and is common for a multitude of languages. Add on top of this other fancy pants emacs features (for instance remote anything, including debugging via TRAMP) and emacs users do better

Doesn't even makes sense in assembly, at least on x86, since you can just use the xchg instruction.

I use notion, and will be for the foreseeable future. I suspect the article skipped it because it's in nonfree on Debian. This is due to Tuomo's funny licensing, and I don't think putting it there is fully justified, TBH. As

It doesn't dictate your build system. A few lines of GNU make can support it.

Here's another that I use all the time: https://github.com/dkogan/feedgnuplot It reads data on stdin, and makes plots. More or less anything that gnuplot can do is supported, which is quite a lot. Realtime plottin

Yes. Always hit the modifiers with the opposite hand. This is taught in every keyboarding class, and applies to all modifiers, even Shift. This will make you a faster typist, and your hands will feel much better. Some newfangled keyboards d

Are you proposing the kernel be rewritten in a "better" language?

Maybe this goes against the point of the video, but I really don't think beginner emacs users should be learning any lisp. As you're saying you should know the basic keys to do basic things, you should know fundamental concepts (p

Ctrl-R finds commands that contain the string anywhere. The method the OP posted finds commands that begin with the string. This is an important difference, and if you give it a try, you'll likely agree the latter is what you want most of t

The parent was wrong, and bash can't do the thing he MEANT. The above aren't globs, they just generates strings. None of those files need to exist. In zsh you can use <7-10>.txt to match 7.txt, 8.txt, 9.txt and 10.txt. Zero

Totally. I've got two of the last non-widescreen 14" T61 laptops. They're fantastic and fairly cheap on ebay today.

That's not 100% true. At least Tmobile doesn't make you pay the full monthly cost if you didn't get a subsidized phone from them. So if you're using Verizon or AT&T you're indeed a sucker, but there're options..

The killer feature of zsh is not the tab completion but the globbing. Really. More or less, you never need the 'find' tool when using zsh. For example, if I want to find all the Makefiles in this or child directories that have the string 'a

You're off. I'm doing the non-contract t-mobile thing in the US. I have the exact 200MB/$10/mo thing you mentioned, as well as the free nighttime/weekend minutes and free in-tmobile calling. Just ask them and they'll give it to you.
