Some of their speakers are just talking out of their ass. There was a woman on TED Radio Hour a few weeks back who was going on and on about how it's so bad that we bury the bodies when people die, and we should instead dress our dead

Pretty sure. Many open source projects accept Bitcoin. The concern for you is whether you'll be able to turn it into cash in Ukraine. And don't offer it as the only option - even among techies Bitcoin is not that huge. In general,

Apple isn't giving access. Apple would be required (by court, unless they manage to fight this off) to install a signed custom build of the OS in order to give access to that particular device. FBI would not have this build, nor a key

I've been using the command line version of PlatformIO for the past 9 months or so, and compared to the garbage you usually have to deal with when developing for embedded, it's a night and day difference. A nice bonus is you can t

Except of course what FBI is proposing wouldn't give access to "anybody". Just unfettered access for FBI, CIA and NSA by way of gag orders and national security letters, forcing Apple to break security of their hardware and n

Easy: there's a saying, you borrow somebody else's money for a time, but pay back your own and for good. So paying off debts is inherently a much less pleasant activity, which people want to avoid thinking about. Combine that with

Tried it on my hi-DPI Thinkpad, needs hi-DPI support to be usable there. I remember being quite fond of Delphi when I was a student. No programming environment before or after Delphi has let me focus _only_ on the problem at hand, and no en

I still don't get how this would work. Where I live, our family of 3 has to spend more than that on groceries and real estate tax alone.

Give Terminator a try.

I've found it so good, I switched to using Terminator on Linux. Terminator sort of mimics iTerm2's multi-pane layout, which I find indispensable on high resolution displays.

I was actually wrong: it begins at around 29. Then people become more and more republican until they get old, run out of money, and become reliant on government services again: http://www.gallup.com/poll/172439/par

Cohorts beyond 35 or so (also known as people who might actually have something to lose) are more conservative and they have always been. So your hope that conservatives will die out is naive at best. People turn conservative real quick onc

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but first world social services (by which I suspect you mean universal healthcare) aren't going to happen either, Bernie or no Bernie. For that to happen one would have to dismantle the healthcare in

Looks like you're right. Oracle used to control it (as evidenced by (c) Oracle all over the place), but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

The exact same folks who Bernie is going to raise taxes for, mind you. He won't really be able to do anything against the 1% (since they own the Congress, and will continue to own it), but upper middle class represents an attractive ta

Do you have a "family of 4"?

BTRFS is still not mature, and there's a license incompatibility as well. And it's controlled by Oracle all the same. If Apple replaces the filesystem they'll likely roll their own.

I'm sure this could be retrofitted even if it does not.

I wonder why they even did this. They already have a state of the art distributed filesystem (Colossus) which doesn't have any scalability problems at all, since they use it for everything. http://www.highlyscalablesystems.c

Apple should replace the abomination that is HFS+. They almost did a few years ago, but pulled the code at the last moment.

Oh, don't mistake my comment for favorable opinion. I only wrote a few hundred lines of Go in my life. It worked well for the particular problem I was solving, but I'm really more of a C/C++ guy. The problem with lisps is tha

Doesn't attempt to please everyone. Case in point: no OOP or inheritance and no FP. Minimal syntactic sugar.
