Agreed. Also, there's nothing stopping you from automating that re-download-install-launch and charging the hour for that.

I'm one of those people still using Zephyros, mostly so that I could keep using beer ( https://github.com/v-yarotsky/beer ). I skipped Phoenix but might give Hydra a try (knowing no Lua though) just to see what you&

Aside from perhaps the syntax of the Nix declarations (which isn't Haskell, though it is lazy etc.), is there anything holding you back from using Nix? As an alternative, are you familiar with Guix? https://www.gnu.org/

I think it's pretty great. I didn't start programming until relatively late, but the more I study Haskell the more it feels like [an evolved form of] what I imagined programming to be when I was just a kid– busy syntax and all. Ad

With n-key rollover, you can use Plover to mimic stenotype chording on typical qwerty. It's been posted/discussed here a few times, so that might be what you're thinking of.

Two big ones off the top of my head: - Porting to other platforms/community implementations (think Mono) - Developer input: being able to submit bugs, influence or even just *watch* the trajectory of the language, get a deepe

In a comment above you said that you're still using Snow Leopard on at least one machine and I can't recall if it works there (though I don't remember the last time this feature changed and I've been using since 10.1)...

The last major example we saw around here was the systemd vote for Debian. One member of the committee (bdale) was to have two votes in the event of a tie (though it was not simply a yes/no vote). If an even number of board members are

The answer you're looking for and that everyone is avoiding is Mathematica . I mean, they're working on (or have possibly released by now) other platforms where the so-called Wolfram Language can be used, but the simple answer to

Depends on the alloy, tin/bismuth will melt around 140C. I would've expected over 180C to be necessary as well though. Sn63Pb37 is very common and melts at 180C, but since it has lead I don't think it's used much in larg

All it does is send your command from a text field to a running tmux session. If you want to `brew update` without getting in the way of Netflix on your little laptop screen, it will do that. If you need to check up on it, just connect to t

We say "calories" when we mean kCals– if Bitcoin does become completely mainstream, I see no reason why casual users wouldn't just say "bitcoins" instead of "milliBits".
