Well put, thanks for expressing the other half of my thoughts :)

That is precisely what I want: if I released something as open source, I want it to stay that way. I do not want it to be used in proprietary software. Yes, I am restricting freedom in a way, but only in cases when someone wants to take tho

Perhaps. Yet, I see nothing wrong with remaining in control of my software's future (at least in some way: I can make sure it remains free). And I see nothing wrong with having a smile over my face when I see people realize they can't take

I use the GPL, mostly due to its viral nature: if I release something as open source, I want it to stay that way, and not rely on the good will of whoever wants to incorporate it into his work, to contribute back. This certainly makes it ha

On another hand, I'd assume it looks good on a resume when it can be seen you have principles: you're not going to continue producing garbage if you can avoid it. Integrity and quality are two good words to have on a resume ;)

Yes. The wording on the WiKi isn't the most fortunate.

From what I understood, when you launch screen, it starts a master, to which you can connect to later on. Each time you start a new screen (ie, you don't connect to an existing one) a new master is started. Not so in tmux: it starts only on

The minimum length should be 1. Usernames with less characters pose implementation problems.

There were quite a lot of languages even ten years ago. There was shell, perl, python (albeit fairly young at that point), tcl, lisp, ada and so on and so forth. The trend merely continued.

Maybe you should ask this question from him. I could think of a million reasons not to want to work at Google, or any other major player, ranging from having to relocate through having a problem justifying working for a multi-national, huge

I'd figure out what IP they're scraping from, and configure my system to serve junk for that. That won't help with previously stolen content, but they won't be able to continue doing that in the future. Also, this works as an interim workar

When I visited the site, I immediately got greeted with a login/signup modal dialog, without being able to look around and see what it's all about. (No, the little intro on the same dialog is not nearly enough) That led to me instantly clos

You can't ever please every religion, no matter how you try. Therefore, it is quite pointless to even attempt that. Furthermore, people who are "very sensitive about it", I have one advice: try to be more tolerant. It'll do good in the long

Ah, I see. Hrm... that might work. I'll certainly test it for a while. Thanks!

Not really, no, I'm afraid, unless I can add a description of some sort to my bookmarks (at which point, it's not much different from tagging, at least in my case) - neither the page titles, nor the urls are good search material for my use
166.
by madhouse 16y ago
It's neat, but... I do miss tagging. Even if it's tedious, once I have a few hundred links stashed away, widly varying in nature, I'd love a way to organize them a tiny bit. Tags were a great tool towards that goal. Not perfect, but worked

Expanding on this advice: never assume that the libraries or programs you use are bug-free. Before digging deep into your own code, make sure the bug actually is in it, and not somewhere else. I have seen problems where a particular program

by madhouse 16y ago
Most of the time, no, it's not possible, since said GUI programs do not call the command-line programs. Instead, they use the same system calls the command-line tools do: stuff provided by the C library. When you right click and say "make s

I'd suggest django, based on my experience. About a year or so ago, I was looking for a framework, and narrowed my possibilities down to Catalyst (perl), Django (python) and Rails (ruby). I was a perl guy, so ruled out Catalyst, as I wanted

I ordered myself a TypeMatrix 2030 keyboard with a DVORAK skin. Can hardly wait for it to arrive.

Need? No, definitely not. But college can help a lot: if not by teaching, then by building relationships, and meeting people.

For the past few years (probably closer to a decade now), I've been a great admirer of the Principia Discordia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Discordia ). When I first read it, I found it to be "ha-ha", but then, following the adv

Although from a different angle, mechanize is wonderful (for the testing part), along with the Selenium python bindings (but that one's not pure python).

This would vary from site to site, and if the HTML of one changes, the "collector" will need to be updated too. It's a ton of work even for a few site, making it generic: yeah, you could do that, but then you'd have to provide unorganised d

Production code? None. Random bits and pieces? Quite a lot. Some of the bits and pieces I wrote while intoxicated did end up in production, but only after careful review, so... that doesn't really count, does it?

If it only takes a minute, then screenshots might be a better idea. But yeah, pause/resume for such a short tour is not neccessary :)

by madhouse 16y ago
If you make the tour pausable and resumable, it could be great. But there's hardly anything worse than a tour that flies by faster than one would like (for example, I often browse around while waiting for something to compile, boot, etc; bu

A simple, primitive way would be something like this: - connect to the stmp server of the service in question - log in with your username/password (the server now verifies you have access; it's nothing interesting so far). - in case one has
