   I spent 8 years writing Linux software on a Mac, with various configurations including SSH, VMWare and Docker development environments. For a while I was happy about this state of affairs, but over time I became increasingly dissatisfied. L

   Not really, if you use the definition of hate speech that commonwealth countries have written legislation about. I don't buy at all that it's dangerous.

   I have a Subaru with eyesight too. The auto-braking in Subarus with eyesight can engage in two circumstances that I'm aware of. 1: The car is travelling at 50 km/hr or less, and perceives an oncoming obstacle. 2: The car is using

   There's many pages here that explain in detail the problem with the existing solutions. Read all of them. https://research.swtch.com/vgo If you read the minimal version selection algorithm, it's clear that the pro

   If you want to cope without medication, you need to exercise a lot. The theory is that your dopamine levels are too low, and you need to boost them somehow. That's why medication tends to work for a lot of people. Try to get exercise e

   I'm lugging around an ADD diagnosis from my teenage years, complete with years of taking stimulants, followed by years of rejecting stimulants, and embracing self-therapy, so I have plenty of opinions, as one could imagine. But I'

    What I don't like about scons, is that when it fails, it's inscrutable. Happily for scons detractors, it seems to be fading from use.

    Seed pods ain't trees. There's a reason that when forestry companies replant trees, they are planting seedlings that have been cultivated for planting purposes. They aren't just shoving seeds into the ground and hoping for th

    Probably. Getting oauth2 to work with Facebook and Twitter is dead easy, and far more secure than rolling your own email auth.

    I'm not sure why nobody else has said this yet, but go find another job and then quit. There's no reason that a good developer should have to toil away in obscurity on a shitty codebase.

    Suppose some system like this is actually possible and not just fiction. Then, the FBI still doesn't need it, because the legal system already has a way to address this problem. Warrants.

    The company I work for implemented what I think is a pretty novel solution. Mandatory vacation. Everyone gets 4 weeks PTO, and more can be awarded on a discretionary basis. As the end of the year nears, if it becomes evident that an employe

    Rail has far better bandwidth. Buses will never be able to match it. That doesn't mean that buses aren't useful too. You need both.

    Thanks so much for this comment. Do you have a single person tracking the state of all the canaries, or are developers responsible for their own release cycles, including tracking any canaries that might interact with their own?

    Maybe in processors, but not in general. Why? Because you can use lexicographic sorting with big-endian bytes.

    This is not true. Hate speech laws are designed to address speech that promotes violence against identifiable groups of people. For example, Canada's hate speech law: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-

    Yes. The coverage is quite poor and doesn't service certain high traffic areas at all, like UBC. The solution has been to increase bus coverage which can only take you so far. The trains are very popular, and during rush hour there mig

    Unfortunately the author is confused about Go's type system. Go does not have inheritance, single or otherwise. Embedding is not inheritance and is not equivalent to it.
