MOC. Music on Console. I've been using it forever with no issues of any kind. It's immediate, it's lightweight, it never fails, it works with my files in my hierarchies, it has all the important functions mapped to individual

Can you say more about this? Is there any particular problem space you like it for?

Upvoting you and GP wasn't enough; I screen captured the exchange for my personal archives. If I ever write my great American novel, I'll try to give credit.

This is a reasonable comment and perspective, and you're definitely to be lauded for driving cautiously. Also, the father you're describing sounds irrational and insulting. But as the father of a two-year old myself, I'm sitt

Good point. An experimental algorithmic band called Autechre just released their 12th album this week, comprising over 4 hrs of music produced entirely by Max/MSP algorithms they've spent their entire careers learning to build and

I'm sure you're right about the probability that many small business owners would still behave honorably if problems were brought to their attention first, but GP was, verbatim, referring to "bad charges coming in from the ve

That's like telling someone upset about a cold meal not to blame the waiter because it could be the cook's fault. Who's at fault is not at issue. What's at issue is that the customer can only get problems solved when the

I only just started using a mac/iphone after many years of only using Linux and Android, and my impression is that although they'd object to the language, yes, that's pretty precisely their business model, and its an insane s

Which, in fairness to and out of love for SQLite, is an enormous domain.

Good q. That scale of complexity sounds to me personally more like project management than a to-do list, and I imagine Taskwarrior or another purpose-built tool would be a better fit for it. As tedmiston points out, if your needs are much m

Whatever tool chain you want, that's part of the attractiveness of the idea. I doubt I'd ever do much but touch, ls, mv, cat, and find, and I doubt I'd need version control.

In another comment thread on Taskwarrior, someone more intelligent than me suggested just using plain dirs and files, one file per task. Then you get all of Unix for free, with any metadata you want as part of the filename or contents. I&#x

Solid, but somehow very creepy, answer. I'm imagining someone discovering that they're a clone, and that their original was just sort of shut into a closet and forgotten about.

Good point. Weird how inefficient it is when people express themselves. If we had a dictionary where we could look up every idea, no one would have to say anything anymore, it'd all have already been expressed better, and we could all

Not sure why you're getting downvotes. Sure, the argument comes off as sort of sophomoric in the face of the indisputable fact that there was an actual Rembrandt and this painting was produced neither by him nor by a low-fidelity repli

How does this compare to piping through Elisp?

I recently switched to OS X from a decade of Linux on cheap notebooks. I've enjoyed the Mac as a luxury, and have even enjoyed the apps; but this will probably be the last one, and for similar reasons.

Can you point to any more elaborated examples or write-ups of the kind of html/http work you're describing here? I'd love to learn more.

Does it not sound solidly, unambiguously sound for the long-term health of the market to increase the ability of consumers to make informed decisions?

If ad-supported sites posted terms of use that precisely defined what info is to be collected, how long it's to be retained, and who will be able to access it, consumers would be able to make an informed decision about what sites to vi

I'm on a phone and no longer have the essay up but I too am puzzled by why sql isn't a good fit for this work.

"Evil" is a ridiculous word to use in the first place; but for what it's worth, in my opinion, a platitude like "[ads are] not perfect, nor evil," glosses over the fact that ads often are vectors for attacks that re

It's interesting that you bring up fairness. Your customers presumably know exactly what they're getting when they use your product. But do they know exactly who ends up with their browsing information, exactly how long those part

While there's much truth in your statement, I wouldn't be so quick to discount the knowledge and experience of archivists, who have collectively as a profession put a tremendous amount of time and effort into researching archival

Charming quote. The same argument could be made about making your own food "from scratch." But it's not a solid refutation of the essay. Let's say that if one end of the spectrum is unlimited dependencies and complete in

This discussion is making me think that Stack Overflow has a solid opportunity to rethink how their architecture/approach could be redesigned to minimize questions that get closed due to redundancy or other reasons. One could indefinit
