You said it perfectly. However, I would add that it seems to me that at first we give more credence to the accuser than the accused. The burden of proof in this situation is always with the accuser and the fact that she assumed people would

It seems to me that it would be difficult talking with strangers on public transport considering most people have smart phones. I've noticed this with younger people. Some cannot sit down for more than, say, 10 minutes without having t

Thank you for writing this and sharing it for the common good. I've been wanting to relearn C since I've switched to Python for work. Hopefully this book will be good practice because I've been wanting to implement a Lisp int

I'm an escapist. Whether it's movies, youtube, video games, literally anything that is unproductive, I'll spend an inordinate time doing. Luckily, I don't drink or do any drugs, but I might as well since I'm pissing

What is immediately intuitive about anything a programmer does on their machine? I assume you have used a Unix shell, right? Was there anything immediately intuitive about that? You've probably done some programming, so was there anyth

A common thread or line of argument that I find when reading about new editors is their out-of-the-box ease of use compared to Emacs and Vim. For example, a quote from the Atom blog: >Sublime and TextMate offer convenience but only limit

I think it would be awesome if the main page had an online interpreter so that a visitor can run the examples in the code slider. Also, I noticed that the project repo has a Procfile, however it starts the Django development server. Do you

I guess the reason is because their focus is primarily on expansion. They're trying to put on their big boy pants too soon.

I'm worried about DigitalOcean. I think their priority should be to try to approach feature parity with Amazon or Rackspace. As of now, there are many features that are missing, such as private networking (only available in NYC2), CDN,

BGA packages are definitely a pain in the ass. Especially highly dense BGAs, which probably require more than 4 layers. Assuming you have the PCB manufactured, would you assemble the components yourself? I recall being quoted higher for BGA

I imagine the spiral symbolizes the point past which a person becomes proficient enough to write Elisp easily. The person then realizes the infinite malleability of Emacs and begins customizing it endlessly.

I'm conflicted about the price being in the range of MBPs and Dell competing with Apple, supposedly, based on quality and design. I think they would be much more competitive if they were to price this laptop significantly cheaper than

Perhaps even more impressive is that it was written by an Erlang novice. This makes me want to hit the books and start learning Erlang again.

i3 will use different workspaces for each monitor. So if you have dual monitors by default, the primary monitor will be workspace 1 and the secondary will be workspace 2. Workspaces are created and destroyed as needed, that is they're

I think you're onto something here.

Great list, although like most tools the full experience comes after spending a great deal of time tinkering with it. Two of my favorites on that list are awm (Awesome) and i3. I started with awm after using the mess that is Unity (Ubuntu)

Great news for the NYC2 datacenter. I'm just waiting for the SFO to have this feature, among other things. One other critical feature I think should be implemented is the ability deploying instances to different physical hosts in maste

I love that the OP brought up FreeSWITCH because this is one example where I believe it's most troubling for package maintainers, software engineers and system implementers alike. From a software engineer's perspective, including

I disagree. To "shit on their mothers" would actually motivate those who are placated and apathetic to act and mobilize. In my mind, only very few persons would take to the streets and sacrifice their livelihoods and personal conv

Yes, but what about the SDK costs? I believe special development hardware was required for PS3 development which had/has a cost of around $10k. If Sony is offering similar pricing for the PS4 SDK then what's the point of indie pub

That survey is flawed because it's based on culturally influenced beliefs of Muslims in tribal-based societies where the concept of honor has a higher precedence than religion itself. I believe you would find similar results among Chri

Yes, the wording is a little weird. Yet, still it doesn't make sense to make the assertion that a user is vulgar because they might have said the word 'shitty' once or twice.

I looked up bitprophet's report card (maintainer of Fabric and other cool stuff). Was surprised by this: I hate to say it but Jeff is becoming—as one of the top 96% most vulgar users on GitHub—a tad foul-mouthed (with a particular a

It's a lot more difficult than that. Perhaps designing a board around a low-speed microcontroller is easier for beginners but definitely not a modern SoC. One of the reasons is because most of these SoCs come in highly dense BGA (ball-gri

Just download Emacs from here: http://emacsformacosx.com Org-mode is perfect for taking notes in class, especially if it's a programming class. In that case, you could use Org-Babel[1]. [1]: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/
