BSD is one of the first Unices (probably second only to AT&T UNIX), so both would be correct, although "LSD and BSD" might make for a punchier joke :)

Interestingly, visual programming and tree-editing has actually gained a lot of traction with non-programmers. Tons of the big video and audio production suites (off the top of my head: Houdini, Max MSP, Grasshopper, Nuke, Blender's no

C will definitely be around in 30 years, and the source of SQLite is a single C file; if you want to be really careful, just store both the C source and your data?

CUDA C++ is technically its own language, which is mostly implemented using a preprocessor; nvcc performs some translation and then passes generated C++ to your compiler of choice. The kernel launch syntax, along with a few implicit include

You could use a tombstone record instead of deleting outright, and the batch update could skip copies that have corresponding tombstones.

Looks like you can't index based on JSON in SQLite, so they might be optimizing for different metrics?

All I could think as I read the postmortem was "I hope YP is doing okay". We've all been there, and I hope you're doing okay!

Usually, organizations sell these lists to anyone who pays for them. It's not the ACLU's fault that left-leaning organizations perceived that list as valuable while right-leaning organizations didn't; my guess would be that r

Oh, you mean PCB milling! Well never mind then; those three are all for metal and plastic milling. I worked at Plethora for a bit, I forget that "milling" means different things to different people.

If you're looking for milling in the sub-1k range, you should check out Fictiv, Protolabs and/or Plethora. (I hope this doesn't count as thread hijacking! Just trying to help.)

Realistically, how would Google sync texts between devices without sending your texts to Google? And once you're doing that, why not use Hangouts, which does, in fact, do pretty good cross-device sync? I ask as a fellow Google-avoider;

This looks a lot like Lua's FFI interface[0], which is a compliment (but contradicts the statement that this sort of FFI is "the feature that no other engine implemented so far"). Nicely done. [0] http://csl.sublev

tmux has copy-mode (^B : copy-mode <enter>) which lets you scroll through history and copy out snippets without using the mouse. There are also some tips out there for nested tmux sessions. For what it's worth, I use tmux just li

You can "apt-get install jenkins" and go straight to the webui. Or are you talking about restoring a configuration as well?

...sort of. I eventually rage-quit Circle and set up a Jenkins cluster because of all of the heisenbugs we found on Circle. Builds would fail 5-10% of the time for totally unreproducible reasons (for example, pip install into a venv would f

It's a poorly-chosen title but a very cool project: it's not a source-to-source translator, you as a programmer are writing C++ instead of CUDA, and it compiles down to either CUDA or ROCm depending on whether you've got an N

If you just replace 'd' with 'y', though, the example is a good one: hitting period would just yank the same thing again. Edit: the yank example is actually way better, because you don't find out that you did someth
