I would not yet attribute that this was intentional (especially if the driver slowed quickly .) The more likely scenario here is that the driver was distracted, did not realize that there was a cyclist in the lane - perhaps made worse by l

It's difficult to look at the Google Street View and get an accurate feel for what's really happening here on Hillandale. If you put 1700 Hillandale in, you're greeted with a massive multilane freeway interchange. However,

By this logic, I certainly shouldn't drive anywhere, instead I would commute by commercial aircraft or heavy rail locomotive.

Well, the big problem here is that glibc isn't on every other OSes box. FreeBSD uses its own libc, as does Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. In fact, the latter three are probably more in common with each other than with glibc. And certai

This stretch of Hillandale is really lousy, as it narrows from a multilane interchange to a two-lane road in about a block. But it should be fairly well lit (at least around the interchange) and I imagine that Seth was as visible as possib

Can you cite this? Because it's certainly legal for pedestrians to use the roads in my state, sidewalk or no. There's no massive inefficiency, the cars pass the pedestrians, the cyclists, the skateboarders and all the other road

A tragedy. I knew Seth - albeit just barely - through friends in Durham. Great guy; I knew he was a fellow cyclist but I had no idea that he was also a programmer. One of his most recent tweets is about bike commuting: "Just enjoy t

What stupid shit the president said has nothing to do with other things the president said that may or may not be truthful? I think you're mistaken.

Yes. Further down in the FAQ, it clarifies that .nyc is available to everybody, but preference will be given to those with a NYC address. (It doesn't further clarify, but I assume that means that in the immediate rush of registration

I don't really understand how you're connecting these dots, so I suspect that I'm getting trolled here, but your comparison makes no sense. Paula Deen spouting racist nonsense does not show anything about "interpretatio

Except that they are - by definition - not trusted; they lack security clearance. Just because other people who lack security clearance have some classified documents doesn't mean that we should give it to everybody.

Maybe this is intended to be obvious, but it is not to me. Is this actually counting the number of commits that show a particular convention, or is it showing the number of occurrences of said convention? The web site states "numb

I take your point, but I think you're drastically overestimating the quality of the sushi place. If you grab whatever cheap salmon is frozen then you'll likely be eating the same salmon that's used at a restaurant. (Even

That would be difficult. Our positive experience was certainly a direct connection to the welcome nature of the product development team and the sales and evangelism teams. Without them, we would have had a much more difficult time making

Teamprise was the name of the company. (To be pedantic, it was not my company in that I was not a founder; I was an employee.) I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not certain that I know the new name of the product. Microsoft prod

That's interesting. I had the exact opposite experience. I was part of a small startup that received exactly what you describe as "support, advice and endorsement" (like you, we did not receive funding) for developer tools.

You keep saying "analog" when I suspect you mean "disc" or "physical copy"? You're talking about a discrete physical item (thus digital by definition) which has a game stored in digital format... I fear t

It sounds to me like you're suggesting that this sign went up because somebody took a single Diet Mountain Dew home. I strongly suspect that some joker took a case of Diet Mountain Dew home and said "what!? they're free!" when he or she wa

You're not paying $100/month for the machine. You're paying $100/month for management, and paying $300 for a server is a waste of $300. I admit, it's been a while since I've done any systems administration myself, but I wouldn't even trust

You have to be joking me. "A distro that is designed for the WM you want to use"? What does that even mean? That I have to have a special twm distro? Or an fvwm2 distribution? tvtwm was always my favorite window manager, but I seem to r

I don't understand. Were you trying to put your repository and your working directory in Dropbox? That does, indeed, sound like a very bad idea. Putting just `.git` in Dropbox seems like it would be fine, though.

This is no different than if you made google.com.mytld.com, is it? You can, of course, still bypass default suffixes by using a trailing dot. That is to say, http://search./ or http://apple./ in your example, or http://google.com./ i
