I think it's probably fair to say the regime in SA and ISIS have different ideas of what the region should look like in the long term. I doubt either side understood a temporary alignment of interests to be anything more than that. Per

You are a web developer, correct? How do you parse known data formats from free text strings? (regular expressions, string manipulation) How do you parse a cookie? (string manipulation) How do your apps http requests end up in their respect

Overwhelmingly not from cities? 62% of the US population lives in cities. Trump got 46% of the popular vote. What you are saying is just barely mathematically possible and most likely untrue.

I too have managed to do lots of image editing in GIMP. That doesn't mean it was a pleasant experience. I am not trying to tell the volunteers what to work on, but if we can't give honest product feedback to FOSS projects on the b

Admittedly I haven't used GIMP in a while, but the entire selection interface was awful last time I did. That's a very basic thing that was constantly annoying to me. Wether I can grok it or not really doesn't matter. Normal

I don't know, as someone who moved from GIMP to Photoshop a long time ago I never saw that as being the reason it was/is(in my opinion) inferior. It has plenty of features - more than enough. What it never had was as good of a use

And Harry Reid (currently serving in office to my knowledge) had barely been born when that happened. So that is entirely irrelevant to his point.

WebStorm also has those things and more afaik. Definitely has some other flaws though, even compared to PyCharm (one would think they'd be similarly well maintained).

You're bordering on the absurd here. I don't even need to argue that certain public officials should not be permitted to have privacy while in office. She has a right to privacy. I am not arguing she doesn't. I am arguing she

Not quite. His argument is that she had the option to achieve privacy (by complying with the request and simply keeping her private emails). Instead they decided to not let anyone ever have the possibility to verify if she complied. She cho

He's talking about there not being any applications that appeal to normal non-tech users and your example is a linux desktop app that looks like a windows 95 application. I don't think you two agree on what "non-tech" an

Unfortunately, it's spreading. You see a lot of this in London as well. I think of it as a learned narcissism with clustering behavior. I would argue you can see it across many groups although they differ in how it manifests - we notic

Indeed, I'd phrase it as "other priorities" -- some priorities stem from circumstance, some from active desire.. Additionally I think classifying it as "I'd rather be doing" is somewhat unhelpful because there

Oh it was definitely a "process" deleting the account. But the sheer amount of emails they send is a travesty. I honestly can't believe they haven't hit the point of diminishing returns yet. I suppose because people view

Good stuff, paying customer and planning to stay one :) I do wonder though if you are thinking about providing PM as a browser extension based app as well? Would curb some of the issues people always bring up re crypto in browser.

I would perhaps argue that it has a whole lot to do with Sykes-Picot still too. While obviously the Iraq war is massively significant in terms of specific recent events, it is possible that we are biased to overestimate the effect our gener

Fantastic entertainment right there, thanks for creating this.. So much self importance mixed with faux understanding of technology and a dash of desperate desire to belong to a special group. On a more positive note, my bitcoin wallet is r

"The New Black Panthers" is not even close to what would come to mind for me when I think about left-wing hate. I specifically didn't mention any of the groups that do come to mind because I have no interest in getting in to

What he is saying though is that (there is at least a perception that) right wing hate is removed far more frequently than left-wing hate due to biases that cause those with their finger on the button to perceive it as somehow more justifie
