You compiled it? Why? Why not compile on a different architecture thats faster or use distcc to make a compile farm? Last times I used Gentoo I just used the packages, took no longer to install than an rpm based distribution.

There is a lot of cool things you could do with something that prints out 20% stronger than aluminum parts.

Whats apt going to do for me on Redhat/CentOS? The problem with package managers is the same as npm/gem.

Freebsd for one. Solaris was quite good as well back in the day.

I really don't get the aversion to cold weather either. It is part of the reason us "northerners" read so much. When it gets to -24F out, aka you can get frostbite underneath clothes, you tend to say well lets just sit inside

As someone thats been on the osx train since 10.2. I get somewhat amused by the "OSX N+latest is the worst OSX" comments. I had the (dis)pleasure of using someone's 10.1 machine, oy wow, surprised that even got released. As a

Thats actually a lot less than i'd expect. Kinda curious on the do N.times -> for foo in range(0, N) changes. I thought I remember a recent post from you about that. Any reason for the switch? (I ask as someone thats used ruby too m

Somewhat naive too to be honest. As someone that had just plain old ruby circa 1.8.5ish code (not rails) that I ported to 1.9 a while back, even with tests there were differences in behavior that I guarantee you probably weren't thinki

I find this hardware compatibility thing a bit of a non issue. I have a usb dvd drive and floppy drive for that matter. Don't use em much to be honest. Will be using the dvd a lot in a bit while I migrate my dvd collection entirely to

Become? Not really, now that they're bigger its just getting more attention. Apple has always tightly controlled prices of their product.

Not sure how to integrate it with xcode, but clang-format does pretty decent in emacs. http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html

Simple, because this covers America. If Britain wants to enforce its copyrights here, well you'll have to either use force or fire up a treaty. Until then American copyright law applies to something copyrighted in America. Doesn't

We're migrating away from Solaris here, and more to their grid stuff. My point is more the cost is insane. That and the level and response I get from "support" personnel can vary from decent to "what do we pay you people

Too true, I'm writing more C lately than ruby. Then again I'm not a rails fan and I need to interface with ioctls more than oauth or whatever. So C fits much better in my domain space. That and command line apps in ruby, well ther

Agreed as to overall lack of focus, I was annoyed that until chapter 7 there really wasn't much C to speak of, and the last chapters where he finally got into interesting things, were far too short. That said I did learn a few tricks,

Are you reading the same book as me, there is NO (FULL STOP) chapter named becoming a better typist. There is a note with that title at page 100 (ebook not sure on book), its also 4 short paragraphs long. Is the entire book great? No, to be

Cool beans. I saw this this morning and was excited. I've been dealing with rewrites of a few internal utilities in C (was going to use go, but the runtime has issues) and was going to start testing how struct passing with errors in a

Generally a bad idea when the cows need the pond to drink.

by mitchty 13y ago
Yep, you're both 100% right. Dairy cattle are basically a prison sentence. We had regular cattle too, those amounted to looking at the pasture they're in and moving them around. Way less upkeep.

When I was young we'd always spray the kittens with it. (I grew up on a dairy farm, fortunately we got rid of the cows when I was about 7) They loved the whole situation.

Yes, the constant "simpsons did it"ism in technology is rather grating.

So I have an old copy of Mac OS X for Unix Geeks here. 10.2 was tcsh, 10.3 was tcsh for user shells and /bin/sh for scripts. I think 10.4 was the zsh experiment, then 10.5+ bash. We'll see how long bash lasts being a gpl shel
