   There is still the chance that data get corrupted between the time the scrub is performed and the time you read the data, so I don't consider scrubs sufficient. In any case you are right, they should be performed even with ZFS, expecia

   I use an approach similar to this [1] to automatically install missing packages on startup. This means that when I move to a new machine I just have to clone the repo with my emacs configuration to have everything ready, settings _and_ extr

   I think that the best default approach would be to start as a normal emacs process but revert to emacsclient behaviour (i.e. just open a new frame) if a running instance of emacs is detected. This is what web browsers do, for example.

   Thanks for clarifying, my experience with Git is much more limited than with Mercurial, so it wasn't clear to me that the index is a sort of editable (or partial?) commit (of course now it looks quite obvious). I understand the appeal

   > I originally saw the index as an obstacle to the commit model I'd gotten used to from subversion. Today, I find it a critical part of git's culture of making small commits with one logical change each. How is this different f

   What looks overcomplicated to a 1x engineer may be quite simple to the 10x. This in fact the most painful point to overcome with them: that not everybody is as skilled as them so the software should be designed and written accordingly. In m

   When the destination server cannot be reached usually the origin server will try again for a number of hours before giving up (and in the meanwhile it may send one or more annoying messages to the sender). I wouldn't do that though. I

   This is true for UUID version 4, which is completely random. There are variant that use host-specific information in the process (in fact version 4 is the only one not doing it). [1] This said, I see that often only v4 is implemented, so ma

    I found products made by car companies to be in general more reliable than those made by software companies (either in Silicon Valley or not). I trust my life to my car (software included) every day. I wouldn't do that with any softwar

    Sometimes I have fun searching for generic stuff (like 'book') in Amazon and then ordering by descending price. Right know for example you can get "Educational Research: Competencies for Analysis and Applications (with MyEduc

    I guess because they do not behave in the same way. In fact new Symbol() is closer to Common Lisp's (gensym) than regular :symbol, since everytime you call it you get something unique. In particular object[:symbol] would behave quite d
