Some of these are free because they are public domain, like The Prince. Not sure what's up with the others. I've only had a kindle for a few days but it's been my experience so far, that if a book is free and not public domain, there is a r

Oye. Let's not start the "X Most Y of 2011" stuff. Every year we are bombarded by these badly written articles. Can we just skip this nonsense this year?

Maybe I'm confused but on my Debian system this works _exactly_ as expected. Yes /etc/motd is a symlink to /var/run/motd and removing said symlink, or replacing it with something causes either the new message to show or there to be no motd.

I'd personally pull it. People are going to download it and it will then look like YOU bundled it this way.

My thanks for this tangential line of thought. I didn't know what was being referred to.

I agree. Rewriting public history causes lightening to fall from the sky and strike you down. Also everyone then hates you. This is what I've had problems with Git UI's the in past... They try to make git easier and as a result tend to hide

Hrm. I was trying to make a point about confusing Github with FOSS which greatly predates it. These days it seem to be becoming a more common mistake to make. I guess I didn't do that very well.

s/Github/FOSS/ Fixed that for you.

So you can copyright source code itself, but not the algo or functionality produced by that code. Right?

I think it's important in this situations to not confuse Computer Science with what we, as "software engineers" or "applications developers" or "programmers", do for 99.9% of our day. For most of us, what we do is as much Computer Science a

I have no problem paying with my time. I just wish they would have me pay with my time by listening to stuff I don't despise with a passion normally reserved for Hell and all Montagues.

Irrelevant, irritating, LOUD ads played in between movements of a single piece that are tied together. It's really irritating to be listening to something and have Spotify suddenly SCREAM at me the lyrics to some country song about taking m

I took a look and it seems to work well enough... I'm not sure how well what it does would translate to an e-reader.

Oh. i was just doing it wrong. doh!

Huh. Did the text that says what you get change? Like from 250 to 500? Maybe I just don't know how much space I had heh.

by docgnome 15y ago
Did that happen right away that you got more space from your .edu? i put mine it and it didn't seem to do anything.

"Even if they don’t care about accessibility, my responsibility is to make the website somewhat accessible." I'm unclear on who the legal requirements for accessibility fall on exactly so I may not understand properly... but I'd think this

I've since given up hoping people will stop thinking that tiny, tiny fonts are awesome. Cause I guess nothing makes the article you wrote more awesome than making it impossible for humans to read. Readability, ftw. http://www.readability.c

Yeah. I should do something like that. What I end up doing is just not reading stuff. Or taking breaks that are way too long.

by docgnome 15y ago
I use a pomodoro timer to prevent breaks from lasting too long or being too infrequent. (It's important to rest your eyes!) I like this idea though, it would be less, irritating to have your break end when you're in the middle of a doodle t

I'd think that would be an issue to. In this case the guy wasn't trying to deceive him really, but if he had been what good is a "reference" from some guys buddy at the "awesome sause corp"

Does anyone know if these videos will be available after the courses are over? I'm in the ai class and I'd like to do the others too but I don't have the time to do all of them.

You mean, why is modal special? Vim has multiple modes to make it easier to perform certain sets of operations. The commands for insertion of text are separated from the command for manipulating the text. It's been years since I've used vim

Possibly, but it's best to not get excited over results are this surprising. At least until someone else can duplicate them :-P

by docgnome 15y ago
Right, my bad.

by docgnome 15y ago
To be honest, it's most likely someone making a mistake or equipment failure or something. We'll just have to wait and see if someone else can replicate it.

That's really all there was to it. It was about... 2 years ago? I forget what exactly was broken about the packages. But the bug was from upstream and was known to the Arch Devs at the time they OKd the package built upon broken sources to

I stopped running Arch when known broken upstream X packages were released into the mainline and the response from the devs was "RTFM, noobs"
