My init.el is really portable. It loads org mode and then loads my org ified configuration. >.< I'm a huge fan of that style cause I can test out changes with c-c c-c and then document to my future self anything of the why. It is

Cool, so if/when the guile vm is default, does that mean we could finally get better process control in emacs? Honestly I love emacs but it is not the most performant thing on the planet. Redrawing taking tons of time bugs that have ex

I love use-package, its made my emacs configuration so much less spaghetti thrown at a wall. https://github.com/mitchty/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs/.emacs... You can get fairly tricksy with it.

I work at a supercomputer company, they've always referred to it thusly as codes. Consider it the same as humor versus humour in computing and don't read too much into it. It comes from a lot earlier time from what I can gather, p

It was the primary shell in 10.2 or 10.3 after tcsh or csh (its been a while I can't remember well).

Yep, i have some wd red 3tb drives in a raidz6 pool. At best I can get 60m/s out of it. Each drive can do about 100m/s sequential but that is rare. Putting an ssd on for caching read/writes though really changes the calculus

Right but we're not telling people you can't be a doctor because you didn't sleep and breathe medicine before you went to college. Least the doctors I have met all seemed to think of it as a job not a lifestyle. It is that fu

Umm, what? Do we say this kind of crap to Lawyers? Doctors? Engineers? (scratch the last one i'm sure we do say this kind of crap to them) Why must programming be such a soul sucking life encompassing thing? It doesn't matter if y

I tend to use all 3 of the browsers for slightly different things so having plugins would be ideal but I suppose I could slum it with copy/paste as long as I follow the password/login route to reduce the chance a password gets exp

Browser plugins saving me from having to copy/paste are a huge win in my opinion. Prevents me from accidentally copy/pasting things and makes for really nice login behavior. I'll look at some of this tonight thanks!

Are there plugins for safari/firefox/chrome and does it work on ios and have a nice little cli? I'm basically preparing to bail on lastpass with this news but need to have all my bases covered.

Yep, this is why I install brew into a subdirectory that I keep rsynced across computers. $ which brew /usr/local/brew/10.10/bin/brew I'm thinking maybe its time to finish off ditching homebre

Yep, all batteries and capacitors amount to is electron storage devices. Capacitors are much more prone to becoming coulomb bombs than batteries mostly because they are designed to discharge quickly, which is what makes them implicitly good

Agreed, that is the thing I want. It would be like a proper sane calculator.

I bet they did and as soon as they saw why just decided to wait to see how long it took for them to get discovered. That or they decided to implement it too. Only way to know is to test car emissions.

Count me as another lover of their keyboards. I've even bought extras for work just so I don't need to use any of the crazy things they have here. Long travel keyboards annoy me, I vastly prefer the chiclet style keyboards.

Yep, it isn't that different than the linux sys call interface for running linux binaries.

Good, I hope they do and I'm an OS X user. Means we can finally move on to a better model than these 6 meg ad downloads.

Never heard of it, quick scan of the page seems to indicate that it is windows/linux only though? I did a quick look at the download page and didn't see an osx build. That is overall fine but I like to keep my browsers portable ac

Hmm, i'll have to try that thanks for the heads up. Losing tree style tabs in 42 has made me nervous, it was the primary reason I love firefox. Without that most of the why in using firefox goes away for me.

The hatred for flash from me is simple. On osx, almost ALL of my browser crashes had flash on the stack at the time things went belly up. That, plus flashes uncanny ability to peg a process at 100% for seemingly just moving images about mad

Yes, in the US at least for about the first month it didn't require facebook, and then they switched that. They stopped requiring facebook logins a while back but to be honest it left a bad taste in my mouth. Glad I didn't bother

Just fine. If you only see vim its likely a filter bubble.

Yep, the vfs layer in most unixes won't let you use / or \0 in a filename. And for good reasons.

Both for me. For good or ill there are books that only exist in dead tree form. I still buy them. I don't entirely miss them to be honest, but for casual reading or it seems super technical things from ages ago, dead tree is where its
