You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say anything like that and you don't need to be so damn condescending about it.

I don't know a lot about economics, so I don't see why spending is always the best thing to do. Maybe spending doesn't lead to the best allocation of resources, as I could be blocking someone from using resources I bought, but cannot utilis

Nobody is? Huh? GP implies pretty heavily that anyone who disagrees with the article is sexist. That is suppressing opposing ideas by using unfounded accusations like sexism. Calling out shitty behaviour is OK, and should be done, so hopefu

It's extremely bad style to accuse everyone who disagrees with you of sexism. I don't think sexism is endemic to software, at least not more than areas where men are underrepresented. I don't think this talk was sexist, at least not only to

One of the best ideas I ever had. Caps Lock is one of the biggest keys on my keyboard and close to the rest. It would be a waste to use it for a single, rarely-used function.

Woah, that did not exist yet when I made my comment. Thanks.

You can't just take the quotient of the processor clock frequencies and multiply by the number of threads! A current generation processor does a lot more in a single clock cycle than they did 30 years ago. Pipelines etc... didn't exist back

I don't think you can use unions. In the draft of the ISO-IEC 9899 standard (C99) I have, paragraph 6.2.6.1.7 (I'm not kidding) says > When a value is stored in a member of an object of union type, the bytes of the object representation

That is nice to hear. My biggest problem with IPv6 has always been the size of the addresses, which I think is too big, but I always thought I was just being old-fashioned. It's interesting to see other people think the same, although proba

I'm afraid that won't be enough. There's a lower limit on how much you can compute with a given amount of energy. If I recall correctly, switching a bit will cost at least ln(2)kT energy, or about 3 10^-21 joules at room temperature. Accord

I really don't want to imply I'm jealous of these people's life conditions, but I've noticed that the more not-intellectually taxing tasks I have to do, the less I notice I'm depressed. If I would be fighting for my life everyday, I might n

This is different from drag queens. Drag queens can reasonably expect to be able to prance around (I'm sorry, I can't find a more respectful term) in women's clothes. Women can reasonably expect and have to full freedom to dress however the

Please, take that feminist rapeculture nonsense out of here. Nobody is holding her responsible for all she's going through and nobody is the blame but the anonymous people on /b/. But she really should have known better. It's interesting ho

Oh come on. He can't "win" by solving one person's problems. Will he give his personal email to everyone who has got his account frozen or large chunks of money taken away by PayPal? I doubt it. This is a non-solution, which is almost worse

If you don't care and aren't willing to listen, you cannot have a well-informed opinion and cannot pretend you do.

When have you last used Linux? Drivers haven't been an issue anymore for years now. I don't actually see any problems with Linux. It's just not meant to be.

I used the word naive to preemptively deflect the bad argument that I would be naive because I believe in a working world without the current idea of copyright, something which I hear way too often. If we take the word naive to mean "lackin

That specific argument has been made a lot of times and overruled as many times. Don't be so naive, a world without copyright could perfectly work. It would just be very, very different. It's not like anyone wants just the complete abolitio

So do we, based on the public data provided by The Humble Bundle. He captured and might have analyzed his segment of the market, (the last time 8 years ago!), we can do something with another segment. There's really no need to be so snappy.

In theory, maybe. In practice, Pulseaudio is just horrible and gave me troubles I have never experienced with ALSA. I'm personally convinced it's one of the biggest mistakes made in the Linux world. However, if we're going to put the sound

Hasn't software mixing been in ALSA for ages, with the dmix plugin? I don't think Pulseaudio is necessary for everything. I do see the Networkmanager is a necessary evil, but why does it have to be so awful? It's great if it works, but if i

How do they enforce that? It's not illegal (yet) to emit WiFi signals, or is it?

Facebook doesn't even allow you to delete your account. If a site were to remove the account from the public view, but delay the actual deleting by a few days (I'd prefer a week or more actually), you wouldn't notice the difference unless y
