zsh was only in I think 10.4 or 10.3, hard to tell anymore as I don't have any ppc machines to install any old os's on any longer. Just giving historical context, not trying to say anything about markeshare or anything. Apple seem

If the argument for posix sh is that its 70k, I'm not sure thats a pro or con. I compared the runtime of a perl script versus shell doing pretty much the same thing, and perl was much faster because there was significantly less fork&#x

At work I'm the ruby|python|perl guy because I almost steadfastly refuse to use bash/sh. Its less that I don't like shell, but doing complex things in it doesn't scale past a certain point. That and I'd rather use a

Even for OSX its kinda iffy as statements go. I think (been a while now) tcsh was the default for < 10.3, 10.3 was zsh and maybe 10.4, then it moved to /bin/bash as default shell.

I'm not sure where I used completeness in my argument prior? Updating a file and updating a directory to me are effectively the same thing. The fact that git checkout can accept either a filename/directoryname, or a revision strik

Oh god, I'm no Google fan, but I'll never love Oracle. Google is leagues ahead of Oracle in almost every way possible.

To be honest I don't see the issue at all here. Fundamentally the following all make sense to me intuitively: git checkout dir (lets assume cwd is in a git repo) cd dir && git checkout . And for completeness: g

I've used unix pretty much my entire computing life and outside of dealing with files and directories I've NEVER thought of . as meaning anything but the directory entry I'm in. Comparing git to hg here is bad, as pointed out

About 5 years ago I suffered a concussion from a motorcycle accident (I had a helmet, only thing that saved me). All my friends said it took me almost 2 years before I was back to "my old self". It was weird experiencing it firsth

Anecdotes aren't data, but where I live in Minnesota, every hockey fan that up until 2 years ago always had season tickets, won't even contemplate buying them again. These are people that have been buying NHL season tickets for th

Yep, /r/science is about the only default that is ok. And if you've seen a climate change discussion there, you'll realize how painful it is to keep discussion on topic on reddit. I remember going to reddit and thinking,

Thing is, those default subreddits were actually good before Reddit got too mainstream. What we're seeing right now is the after effects of popularity.

I must not play my 360 enough but I have one of the originalish white 360's bought at the same time as others (not day one, but before any of the fixes) and never had a RROD. But now that I say that online watch it die the next time I

Think its his TERM env most likely being straight xterm (no color ansi escapes in the termcap iirc). http://i.imgur.com/0Hzze9G.png Thats me on osx running tmux with TERM=xterm-256color.

I guess one counterpoint would be Alfred Einstein and him famously not knowing his own phone number. He stated why would I waste brain cells on something that is alphabetically sorted in a book? I agree you need to know things like how mall

Reader of that book, you finally got me to kick my screen habit with it and now I have a new tmux addiction. That said, tmux is way easier to use compared to screen. And with 1.8 and text reflow it pretty much has every feature from screen

I can't find the quote, but it was from a pilot of one of the first commercial 2 engined airliner jets, 737 or 777 I forget. Basically the reporter said, are you more worried if you lose one engine of two versus one engine of four on t

Can't you use something like this: https://raw.github.com/pixelb/ps_mem/master/ps_mem.py I use that to help determine "least incorrect" ram usage on linux. It is ok, maybe not perfect but it at

Github + Linux kernel I think would be the primary drivers for that. Mercurial is fine, but its hard to ignore inertia. Similar to FreeBSD/Linux.

The answer is, they are, but we have aging airframes that need to be replaced now. That is basically the F22/F35 right now. The F15/16/18's won't last forever, and most early block number airframes won't surviv

Everything enterprisey has to be in all caps and mean something that's trying to be cool. JAVA = Just Another Vague Acronym. That and you need to use xml for everything to be enterprise.

They'd have to move outside the exclusion zone, which is what, 200 miles? Somehow I doubt this is to employ people. If it is though, then its very Deus Ex Machina in some ways (the video game, specifically the last dlc).

Our quick "solution", was just tar cvf up the dependencies and use that. Alternatively godep as noted below, or you could get creative with git submodules or clone the repos to a local cache. The reason go is simpler is you only n

This is the exact reason I'm migrating new things straight to go. Once I've gotten the updated blob (binary or script/whatever really) to where it needs to be. I'm done, at compile time I can deal with dependencies, don&

My buddy has held off on a retina macbook pro waiting for the new one. And I know some others that do similar, not because they need to but to see what the new version offers.

As a zsh user, I am not really seeing the problem. Even Solaris had zsh in the default install. I don't see why avoiding installing an rpm/deb is any better or worse than not. For regular shell scripts I tend to still prefer #!&#x

I'm noticing the same as well with my retina actually. The power drain differences are significant enough for me to swap back to safari. I was getting ~7 hoursish (hard to tell I tend to compile/browse/etc) before and now it
