People totally blame C (and C++). There's entire classes of use-after-free and buffer flow errors not possible in other languages, which is what leads to people advocating for Rust or Go (or ADA for that matter, though it's obvio

IIRC console.log was a non-standard addition made by FireBug.

Weirdly, echinoderms are considered part of the Bilateria clade. Apparently they're bilateral as juveniles and only become radially symmetric as adults ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilateria )

There are a bunch of regions that don't use much ghee, but instead use mustard or coconut oil.

At this point it may not even help. OpenZFS forked from Oracle ZFS like 10 years ago, so even if Oracle dual licensed it as GPL, the OpenZFS folks with a decade of non-Oracle code contributions, would have to contact every contributor for

Bitbucket has had CI too, with bitbucket pipelines. I think the innovation here is the UI not the idea of CI.

IIRC you can run wine on cygwin, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if wine on WSL worked.

You appear to be forgetting that a huge part of the story was government action to limit the power of the company that made that browser, both in the US and especially in the EU.

The full manual is here. https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html GNU projects tend have info pages that are a lot more complete and thorough then their man pages, so that'd be a good place

No more so that virtualizing one linux distro on another. Or running a Windows VM on Windows....

You'd have to modify and recompile the old programs, which may not be possible.

Oh! Thanks for the info. I wish I knew this 3 days ago when I decided to install OpenIndiana in a VM to play with.

I'm not sure if it's still in development. On sourceforge (!) it looks like there are no updates since 2014, and French wikipedia( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schillix ) says it's not been updated since

Illumos is the name of the kernel, that they all use. OmniOS is discontinued I believe. So that leaves SmartOS (that's basically a hypervisor server, with actual applications handled in zones/containers/vms), or OpenIndianna,

I think that depends on what country you're in. The only people I know who are on whatsapp are immigrants who use it to talk to family in the old country.

I think he means "written in ink" in the sense that something you post cannot be erased, much like how if you write something with a pen, vs with a pencil.

It was he French monarchy that helped the Americans, so there really was no ideological affinity. The revolution in France wasnt until several years after the US war against the British was over.

I think it's that you can calculate the value, but you can't (or can't as easily) create a new function that is the derivative of another function, and pass that around.

How often do you use a single stick or wheel, that isn't part of some much more complicated machine? (I won't argue about the knife. That is both simple and useful)

It's a good GNUism though, that I also wish the BSDs supported. No-one's saying that the BSDs should start supporting GNU style --long-options or switch to info instead of man, but friendlier help messages are always a nice thing

Porcupine is the same thing, just using latinate roots rather than native English/Germanic ones.

Pleonasm is more of a needless redundancy like "It's déjà vu all over again."

Human languages aren’t usually concerned with maximal information density though. Multiple layers of redundancy are often present. Features like noun verb agreement, grammatical gender, pleonasms, and even redundant words (last will and t

I think they'll probably stick to LTS. There's no 17.04 for WSL AFAIK, so I doubt there'd be a 17.10.
